Rashida Tlaib

I would ask my colleagues, especially Members of Congress, before you make decisions about people sit down with them...

The Federal Government can act to underscore the dignity and worth of transgender people.

But there is a role for the Federal Government to play.

The fact that trans women are being murdered on our streets, particularly trans women of color, is terrifying...

Religious liberty--I am going to put it in quotation--is simply this administration's latest excuse to continue its painful oppression of other people, including our LGBTQ neighbors.

I want to thank my colleagues, Representative Kennedy and Representative Takano.

I am also here today in support of the Every Child Deserves a Family Act so we can put an end to these bigoted restrictions once and for all.

I asked you why, if the Federal Reserve is willing to backstop or support big banks and corporations during periods of credit market distress, we wouldn't want to make equally sure that State and local governments had access to credit, as…

I am afraid that simply is not good enough.

I believe you do have the authority.

Can you explain to me why the Federal Reserve shouldn't ensure that State and local governments have access to funding during times of distress?

Look, unnecessary delays in union representation elections provide corporations with more time to wage anti-union campaigns using illegal and legal tactics. That is why folks are going to be against this. When workers file a petition for…

In my district, we don't call it a con. We actually call it cheating. It is cheating.

As a kid, she often threw up and had a headache after walking to school in southwest Detroit.
