Today, I stand with Armenians around the world in remembrance of the #ArmenianGenocide, when the Ottoman government systematically murdered or displaced over a million Armenian children, women and men. Let us honor them by fighting hate, violence, and injustice in all forms.
After today's arguments, we confirm three crucial facts: - EMTALA is law. - EMTALA protects patients’ rights – in every state – pregnant or not. - EMTALA includes all stabilizing care, including emergency abortion care, full stop. Read our full statement:

Huge news 👏🏾 Cracking down on non-competes is a game-changer for workers, and raising the overtime threshold will give millions a long-overdue raise. Thank you, @POTUS. Next up: raising the minimum wage💰

Passover is a story of finding hope to overcome oppression. As we mark this Jewish holiday, we must recommit to fighting the alarming rise in antisemitism. Hate & bigotry cannot be tolerated. Wishing all who observe in #CA12 & around the world a happy Passover. Chag Sameach!
Big win for repro health care privacy! Thank you @POTUS & @HHSGov for issuing new HIPAA rule to bolster privacy protections for patients & providers, amidst fears of prosecution for seeking/providing abortion care. This crucial measure will keep that info secure. Read more here:

Seeing Dobbs cited by Ugandan courts in upholding most of the devastating anti-LGBTQI+ law is disturbing, but let it also remind us that: 🌈💞the struggle for repro & LGBTQI+ rights are deeply connected 🌍our work must be global 🚨the anti gender movement is coming for us all
@WorldBank @UNAIDS_UG Noteworthy: #Uganda's Constitutional Court referring to Dobbs v. Jackson decision striking down right to abortion in U.S., as supportive of criminalization of #LGBTQ+ communities, is abhorrent. This is exactly the #Project2025 handbook of U.S. white, Christian extremist groups.

Today's event on Black Men 4 Choice was a tremendous success! With reproductive freedom under attack, it is more important than ever for everyone to be involved in the fight for reproductive justice. People, not politicians, should be in control of their reproductive health.
Today, I announced my retirement and resignation as HUD Secretary effective March 22, 2024. I thank @POTUS for his confidence and trust in me to lead HUD in alignment with the Biden-Harris Administration’s priorities.
There are 30 years of data that show enforcement-only doesn't work. Asylum is a right, and we can't punish people out of seeking refuge in the U.S. We can — and must — rebuild our immigration system and pass new border policy that respects the humanity and dignity of immigrants.
Tomorrow, nearly 30 #ReproductiveFreedom guests will be joining @HouseDems and @FLOTUS for #SOTU. Our Caucus looks forward to welcoming them to Washington. Stay tuned as we highlight their stories, advocacy, and dedication to reproductive rights and freedoms.
