Trump has spent $1.8 billion on vanity projects like the White House Ballroom and the Reflecting Pool. Here’s what that money could be spent on instead:   ➡️600 million school lunches ➡️1.7 million months of childcare ➡️Restoring full Medicaid to 209,000 people ➡️17.7 million potholes filled

When it comes to Al, capability is not the same as judgment. Some decisions are simply too important to hand over to a machine. My @CmteOnCCPDems colleagues and I held a first-of-its-kind hearing on the rapid development of Al. We need Al regulations, and we need them now.

Hoosier farmers are spending $1,804 more this year just to fill up their tanks. This is the cost of Trump's war.

G’mar Chatima Tovah to all observing Yom Kippur in Indianapolis and across the world. I wish you a meaningful fast.

Speaker Johnson sent Congress home early instead of holding a vote on common sense AI regulations — giving a free pass to tech billionaires. I joined 106 of my colleagues to demand Congress take action. The risks are clear and urgent, and we need to act now. carson.house.gov/media/press…

It's National Voter Registration Day, a bipartisan effort to encourage Americans to make our voices heard. In Indiana, the registration deadline is October 5. Check your registration status at Indianavoters.com.

The Republican majority must bring Democrats' AI Civil Rights Act to the House floor. It's abundantly clear we need to better regulate AI to protect Americans, not to make tech billionaires even richer.

Today, we remember the thousands of lives lost from September 11, 2001, and honor the courage of the first responders who answered the call. 25 years later, we will never forget.

September is Suicide Prevention Month. If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Help is available. You are not alone.

NEW: 261 Democratic and Republican lawmakers have come together to challenge Trump in court – this time, Trump’s attempts to limit mail-in voting.   Reminder: even Donald Trump votes by mail. It’s safe and secure.   Challenging this administration in court is one of the most effective tools we have, and it’s a tool we’re going to keep using.

On Labor Day, we honor the sacrifice and achievements of American workers. Today and every day, I’m grateful for the contributions of our nation’s workers — and continue to fight for fair pay, improved working conditions and better treatment.

96% of people ICE arrested in July did not have a prior violent criminal conviction. These arrests aren’t about safety. They’re about racial profiling. I submitted a Congressional Inquiry into ICE’s presence in Indy and refuse to fund ICE as they terrorize our communities.

Reports indicate ICE arrests in Indianapolis are surging. I just launched an official Congressional inquiry into ICE's presence in Indy — and I'm making sure you can access help and resources if needed.  If you have a loved one who resides in Indiana's 7th Congressional District and who is detained by ICE, my office can request answers. While we cannot legally represent you, we do have a list of available legal resources and other assistance. You can find it all at carson.house.gov

When this Indianapolis family needed help with the IRS, my office stepped in to get the issue resolved. If you are having trouble with a federal program, my team is here to help. Visit carson.house.gov.

After visiting Miami Correctional Facility in Indiana and demanding answers from ICE, I held a Report to the Community to share what we have learned about the conditions inside.    ICE confirmed nearly 800 failures to deliver medication adding to this facility's already troubling record of mistreatment and failure to meet legal standards. The people of Indiana deserve transparency and accountability. ICE detention at Miami Correctional Facility must end.    Hoosiers have organized nearly 60 events across the state for a weekend of public witness to stop ICE detention at Miami Correctional.

63 years ago today, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and other civil rights leaders brought thousands together for the March on Washington to demand freedom and economic opportunity for African Americans.   Today, as voting rights are under attack, we find ourselves fighting for those same promises. We must keep fighting until those promises become reality for all Americans.

I caught up with my friend @TheRealMikeEpps ahead of his third annual Community Festival! Stop by Washington Park tomorrow between noon and 6pm. Thank you Mike for always giving back to Indy.

Donald Trump votes by mail. But he wants to make it so you can’t. 
 
The Supreme Court just  failed to block the president’s plan to restrict mail-in voting. But it’s not the end of this legal battle – and my colleagues and I in the @TheBlackCaucus will continue fighting this attack on our voting rights.
