Today, I introduced a resolution recognizing the Nakba (catastrophe), where 400 Palestinian towns and villages were destroyed, over 700,000 Palestinians uprooted from their homes, and made refugees. On this day, we must promote human rights & justice. The Palestinian people since the 48 Nakba have been living under oppression and violent racism. Silence + blank checks enables more death and violence.

Today, I voted for the #AmericanRescuePlan because this $1.9T package is a critical lifeline for not only our residents in a form of a direct payment, but for our local governments, states, and school districts to ensure that our neighbors continue to get the services they need. One year ago today, Michigan’s Governor Gretchen Whitmer announced the first cases of #COVID19 in the state. Since that day, the lives of Michiganders and residents in #13thDistrictStrong have been forever changed. detroitnews.com/story/news/pol…

.@RepBonnie, @RepMarkTakano, and I just announced we will introduce the Preventing Auto Insurance Discrimination (PAID) Study Act, which mandates a @USGAO study on the disparate impacts of auto insurance discrimination. More here: tlaib.house.gov/media/press-re…. This is a follow-up to my and @RepBonnie's introduction of the #PAIDAct last year. Auto insurers have reaped benefits off the financial struggles of so many Americans for far too long—and it's only gotten worse amid the #COVID19 pandemic.

While I have deep respect for India and its important relationship with the US, I condemn the revocation of #Article370 & #Article35A, the imposed comms blockade, suppression of life-saving medical care, and reports of widespread human rights violations in #Jammu and #Kashmir. The communication blockade doesn’t just mean people cannot get in touch with their families, it also means shortages of medicine and an inability to receive medical care. nytimes.com/2019/08/14/tec…
