Congresswoman Yvette D. Clarke

Official account, U.S. Rep. Yvette D. Clarke (NY-09, Brooklyn). Chair of the Congressional Black Caucus. Serving on the Energy and Commerce Committee. Brooklyn bred.
More than 20 million Americans are staring down the barrel of skyrocketing healthcare costs in the new year.

Instead of holding a vote to extend the ACA tax credits and stop this crisis in its tracks, Speaker Johnson chose to shut Congress down early and go home.

How cruel is that?

If Congress’ goal is truly to protect kids online, the best way to do so is through a federal data-privacy standard that prioritizes their safety today and can adapt to the technologies of tomorrow.

This version of KOSA doesn't come close to meeting the mark.

On Trump’s orders, DHS has condemned countless of our migrant neighbors to horrific detention centers where they've suffered abuse, faced vile conditions, and even lost their lives.

I joined @jayapal.house.gov's shadow hearing yesterday, because these atrocities cannot remain hidden in the dark.

No matter how many masked thugs Donald Trump sics on our immigrant neighbors or how desperately he tries to dehumanize their families, New York City and communities like it are going to stay sanctuaries to the oppressed and the powerless.

Our committee has had at least 5 hearings over 5 years on the many threats to kids online.

How long do we have to keep restating the obvious?

It’s past time to stop talking and start acting.

For decades, my hometown of Brooklyn has remained an iconic travel destination, with internationally recognized landmarks and imagery that evokes the music, culture, and art only found in our borough.

Our economic health depends truly upon the strength of our tourism industry.

Superstorm Sandy was an unimaginable nightmare when it first struck the northeast 13 years ago.

But today, extreme weather events have only grown more devastating, more frequent, and tragically, more normal.

It doesn’t have to be that way.

While Trump gets a Cadillac Plan on the taxpayers’ dime, the millions of Americans who will lose their care because his party refuses to extend the ACA enhanced premium tax credits are not so fortunate.

It's a tragedy that he'll never be capable of understanding that.
