Join #TeamNikema at a 'Congress In Your Community' event in your neighborhood this August. My office is here to help with federal agencies and answer your questions. See you soon!

Only 63% of adults say they can afford a $400 emergency expense, yet the average home repair costs $3,000.   That's why I fought to pass the Whole Home Repairs Act into law. The rising cost of living shouldn't leave you in a home with leaks, exposed wires, a damaged roof, or mold.

From East Point, to College Park, to Summerhill for #NationalNightOut with the #FightingFifth! Families, law enforcement, and community leaders came together to promote safer, stronger neighborhoods for everyone. #CommunitySafety #NationalNightOut #SaferTogether

#CongressInYourCommunity means meeting you where you are!   That's why #TeamNikema was at the Atlanta Public Schools Back-to-School Bash, helping parents understand their federal resources and making sure families know my office is here to help throughout the school year and beyond!

In Trump's economy, school supplies have gone up 7.7% and we're all feeling it.   Back-to-school shopping shouldn't be this expensive. I'll keep fighting to lower costs and make sure every child in the #FightingFifth and across the country has what they need to succeed.

Happy First Day of School to everyone in Atlanta Public Schools, Fulton County Schools, DeKalb County School District, City Schools of Decatur, & Clayton County Public Schools!   Wishing every student, teacher, school staff member, & family across the #FightingFifth a safe & successful school year.

From investing in East Point’s infrastructure and standing up against hair discrimination to celebrating our interns and connecting with families across the #FightingFifth, it was another busy week delivering for our communities. Catch up on it all in this week’s #NikemasNotes!

For far too long, uterine fibroids have been overlooked, underfunded, and undertreated.   That's why I'm a cosponsor of the Stephanie Tubbs Jones Uterine Fibroid Research and Education Act, led by @repyvetteclarke.bsky.social. (1/2)

#TeamNikema has been out and about all July! From Greenbriar Mall to Riverdale, back-to-school season is officially here. 📚✏️   We loved seeing so many of you around the #FightingFifth. Catch #TeamNikema at our next #CongressInYourCommunity!

Happy #NationalInternDay!    Our District Interns are wrapping up their summer with #TeamNikema, and I had to ask Bryce and Cole what their favorite parts of the internship were.    Thank you both for your hard work, dedication, and service to the #FightingFifth this summer!

61 years ago, Medicaid was signed into law.   1 year ago, Republicans gutted it to pay for tax cuts for billionaires and big corporations. Now, nearly 4 million people have lost Medicaid coverage - but millions more will lose it soon.    Stop the #HealthcareHeist

Lawmakers, Doctors, and Medicaid Families Demand Congress Put Patients Over Profits, Reverse Healthcare Cuts https://www.doctorsforamerica.org/news/press-release-lawmakers-doctors-and-medicaid-families-demand-congress-put-patients-over-profits-reverse-healthcare-cuts

Proud to bring home $1,092,000 to the City of East Point to replace aging stormwater infrastructure along Norman Berry Drive. This investment is about easing families' worries with every heavy rain forecast, protecting our businesses, and keeping roadways safe. (1/2)

The Trump Administration admitted in court that it canceled nearly 300 energy projects in states that didn't vote for Trump—and then lied about it.   These projects would have created jobs, lowered energy costs, & invested in communities. Instead, Trump used taxpayer dollars to play politics. (1/2)

I joined The CROWN Act Experience today! Thank you to The Future Is Pretty for creating a space that empowers young people to showup confidently as their authentic selves. 👑 (1/2)

Happy 11th Birthday to my son! 🎉❤️   Being Carter's mama is the greatest joy of my life. Watching him grow into such a kind, curious, and thoughtful young man reminds me every day why I fight for a future where every child in the #FightingFifth has the chance to succeed.

From protecting voting rights and fighting for affordable housing to supporting moms and voting NO on Republicans' disguised voter suppression bill, it was another busy week delivering for the #FightingFifth. Catch up on it all in this week's #NikemasNotes!

Trump's unauthorized war in Iran must end. We've lost servicemembers, more are being put in harm's way, & working families are facing a deepening affordability crisis because of this war.   I voted to end this war and rein in the reckless Trump administration.

House votes to restrict Trump's Iran war powers in latest rebuke over the conflict. The Senate is expected to vote soon on a similar measure. https://cnn.it/4wZX3m1

We agree with @repnikema.bsky.social, the #FHLBanks are not meeting the moment during this #Housing affordability crisis But they can! Learn more Here: consumerfed.org/news/blogs/t...

Sometimes things are not what they seem. Republicans put a bill on the floor that supposedly would ban members of Congress from trading stocks, but it actually included the SAVE Act—a voter suppression bill.   I voted NO because I will always stand up for our right to vote.

Trump’s violent ICE operations continue to terrorize communities, and families are living in fear after ICE’s latest deadly shootings. Instead of demanding accountability, House Republicans want to hand Border Patrol and ICE a blank check. (1/2)

Leslie, Carter, and I are praying for the families, friends, and loved ones of the three American service members killed in combat this weekend, as well as for the service member who is still missing. (1/2)

From demanding accountability in the FSC and calling for an independent investigation into the ICE shootings to meeting families where they are, it was another busy week delivering for the #FightingFifth. Catch up on the rest of my week in #NikemasNotes!

Same lies, different day.   Trump’s lies are an attempt to lay the groundwork for undermining the next election. They are a deliberate effort to erode trust in our democracy and intimidate voters.    We'll keep fighting against every attempt to silence voters.

Just in: President Trump, who for years has sowed doubt about the security of American elections, just spoke about election integrity. Trump has long contended, without evidence, that he won the 2020 election.

I joined @jayapal.house.gov in demanding accountability for ICE's violent shootings. The American people deserve a full & independent investigation into the deaths, the fear these incidents have caused, & any efforts to deport eyewitnesses. We won’t accept this their pattern of denials & cover-ups.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.gov · 3w ago

DHS has a pattern of making unsubstantiated claims across numerous shootings that are later contradicted by evidence and witnesses. I'm leading nearly 200 House Democrats in demanding full, independent investigations and stopping ICE from deporting eyewitnesses.

FSC Democrats tried to subpoena Russell Vought, Acting Director of the CFPB. He’s required to testify before the committee twice a year, yet this was his first appearance in two years. The American people deserve accountability. They’re not getting it from this administration.

Homeownership builds generational wealth, but too many families in the #FightingFifth and across the country are being priced out as hedge funds and corporate investors buy up homes. (1/2)

Home run champ! Congratulations to Decatur High School’s Jordan Walker for taking home the title in the Home Run Derby! The #FightingFifth is proud to see you shine!

TikTok ❤️’s ATL! Same 🫶🏽 Thanks for a great afternoon at the TikTok #DiscoverAmerica Tour stop in the #FightingFifth, highlighting how millions of business owners use the platform to grow. 📈

Trump’s idea of “big yawn” policy, the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, went into law at midnight and is the most significant housing package in decades. (1/2)

President Trump says he is refusing to sign the bill without Congress first passing his sweeping voter ID bill. n.pr/4vsARjl

From supporting small businesses and creating jobs to protecting public safety, honoring the legacy of a mentor and movement leader, and expanding access to mental health care, it was another busy week delivering for the #FightingFifth. Catch up on the rest of my week in #NikemasNotes!
