Rashida Tlaib

Unbossed Congresswoman. Detroiter, Palestinian American, Muslima. #RootedInCommunity
Magically found $768,000,000,000 for a defense budget, but the same folks can't fully fund the $45- $60 billion needed to remove lead service lines in our country.
Our government is kidnapping people.
A Muslim father of five was kidnapped by ICE in Greensboro last week. Plainclothes agents stormed his home, never showed a badge, and threatened his family. They came back and detained him on his way to work. His name is Mohamed Aboubaker Naser. tinyurl.com/ywbb2cna
On today's Democratic Daily Download, @RepRashida explains how Trump's Big Ugly Law betrays our communities: Ripping away health care and food for families all to give tax breaks to billionaires.

The Israeli government's rogue bombing of Syria must end. The same occupying power that ethnically cleansed Syrian Druze from the Golan is no protector.
Insane that the world is seeing messages like this and shrugging
I will go now to look for food. I will not return until I find food for my children and my cat, even if it costs me my life. Please pray for me.
BREAKING: The only meal hospital staff in Gaza were receiving — provided by World Central Kitchen — has stopped. WCK has run out of food. Doctors, nurses, paramedics — already collapsing from exhaustion — now have nothing to eat. They are saving lives while starving. This is…
Israel just issued new “evacuation orders” for Deir al-Balah. More than 80% of Gaza is already under orders, there is nowhere safe to go, and the population is being starved. The depravity is endless.
This is so right. Every year, without any real debate, Congress shovels hundreds of millions of dollars into our parasitic military-industrial complex while shortchanging our people’s basic needs. It’s corruption, pure and simple. More people need to say it.
Our country is obsessed with war. Every year, Congress votes to invest in death and destruction instead of health care, housing, clean air and water, or ending child poverty here at home. I will not vote to send another $831.5 billion to the Pentagon.
Had a great meeting with @ZohranKMamdani and am deeply impressed by the grassroots campaign he is running. The Oligarchs are prepared to undermine democracy & spend tens of millions to buy the election for his opponents. We will not allow that to happen. Stand with Zohran.
This is so wild. He voted for the bill to gut Medicaid.
Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., introduces a new bill to repeal some of the Medicaid cuts in Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill, which he voted for. "Now is the time to prevent any future cuts to Medicaid from going into effect," Hawley says. Full text 👇
NEW: Israeli settlers killed a young Palestinian-American from Florida, where he helped run a family ice cream shop. Comes days after we asked senators how many Americans have been killed in Palestine & Lebanon since 10/7. None knew. He is now the 7th. zeteo.com/p/breaking-isr…
Remember Vedant Patel, the guy who filled in at the State Dept to lie about Israel's crimes in Gaza? He's now VP at a Democrat PR firm that represents Israel's Foreign Ministry and a pro-Israel group that attacks reporters who criticize the genocide And he's not the only one⬇️
Biden spokespersons are cashing in on the Gaza genocide A PR firm run by Biden vets is now contracting with a US mercenary firm implicated in crimes in Gaza This follows a top Biden State Dept spox joining a PR firm which contracts directly with Israel thegrayzone.com/2025/07/12/gaz…
Black women shouldn’t have to work overtime just to earn the same as their peers. Currently, a Black woman makes 66 cents for every dollar a white man makes. Economic justice means paying Black women what they deserve.
Today, we recognize Black Women’s Equal Pay Day. For every dollar a white man earns, a Black woman earns just 66 cents. That’s not just a wage gap—it’s a justice gap. We demand equal pay and economic justice for Black women and ALL women.
By the way, the difference between how quick the media and political apparatus was to attack Rashida Tlaib vs. how quiet it's been on Randy Fine is *not* a double standard. Calling it that actually obscures what's going on here:
NEW — We asked the Democrats who voted to censure Rashida Tlaib if they'd support censuring Randy Fine, who called Ilhan Omar, Tlaib, and Zohran Mamdani "Muslim terrorists." Just 3 responded: Pat Ryan, Ritchie Torres, Dan Goldman. They all support censure.zeteo.com/p/republican-l…
It's not just @FranceskAlbs—last month the US also sanctioned the leading Palestinian rights group @Addameer. In new statement, @amnesty & @hrw condemn outrageous use of US sanctions to do bidding of Israel—which has long muzzled human rights advocacy. They should reverse course
US sanctions on @FranceskAlbs are all about silencing a UN expert for doing her job—speaking truth about Israeli violations & calling on govts & corps not to be complicit. US is dismantling int'l norms & institutions. States should resist & condemn these outrageous efforts. @hrw
Genocide is bipartisan.
Yesterday these Senators took part in a photo-op with Netanyahu, who is wanted for war crimes. Shameful. Ted Cruz Adam Schiff Jacky Rosen Steve Daines Amy Klobuchar Bill Cassidy John Thune Jim Risch Chuck Schumer Maria Cantwell Chris Coons Cory Booker Dave McCormick Jon Husted
A Republican member of Congress is accusing a fellow member of being a terrorist just because she is Muslim. In the past, this would be grounds for censure.
I'm sure it is difficult to see us welcome the killer of so many of your fellow Muslim terrorists. The only shame is that you serve in Congress.
Buried in the Senate budget bill: A $325 million plus-up to an $843 million government contract with Elon Musk's SpaceX. Paid for by kicking 41,752 Americans off Medicaid.
Just to be sure, on this day more than ever: I stand firmly and convincingly on the side of justice, as I have always done. I come from a country with a tradition of illustrious legal scholars, talented lawyers and corageous judges who have defended justice at great cost and…
1/5 The Assembly of States Parties to the @IntlCrimCourt concludes its special session on the crime of aggression today. Over the past three days, it has considered amendments to the exercise of the Court’s jurisdiction over the crime of aggression. The #US, not a State party,…
