Rep. Joyce Beatty

Please see my comment on the disturbing video released by Donald Trump. It raises the question: why does he need a distraction right now?

Today I’m proud to #GoRedForWomen to spotlight women’s cardiovascular health. As a stroke survivor and Co-Chair of the Congressional Heart and Stroke Coalition, advocating for women’s heart health is deeply personal work. Together, let's make a commitment to adopt a heart healthy lifestyle. ❤️

Today I spoke at FINRA's event presenting the findings of its National Financial Capability Study. As Co-Chair of the Financial Literacy and Wealth Creation Caucus, I look forward to working with FINRA to put more families on the path to economic success.

The Trump Administration is holding up critical funds that the American people need for affordable housing. When pressed, Secretary Bessent couldn't give me a clear answer as to when critical CDFI funds will be disbursed to communities in need.

Tonight, I was honored to celebrate Rosa Parks' birthday. While known for refusing to give up her seat to a white passenger, Rosa's courage and dedication to civil rights, reached far beyond that single act. May her memory guide us forward as we fight for the democracy she sought to uphold.

This Black History Month, I’m celebrating the Black leaders, past and present, who have paved the way forward. From Columbus to communities across the country, their leadership and contributions continue to move the needle. Happy Black History Month!✊🏾✨

Today, I spoke at the Council of Insurance Agents and Brokers Annual Legislative Summit about the key role insurance plays in building financial stability. As co-chair of the Financial Literacy and Wealth Creation Caucus, I will continue to promote wealth-building tools for American families.

Today, I met with WomenHeart to discuss my bill to reauthorize and strengthen the WISEWOMAN program, expanding heart disease prevention and treatment for underserved women. As a stroke survivor, this work is personal. I'm grateful for WomenHeart and the work they do!🫀

Deadly failures. Abuses. No accountability. That's Secretary Noem's record at ICE. Today, leaders of multiple Democratic caucuses demanded her firing outside ICE HQ. Justice demands it. And she has lost the trust of the American people. Click for my full

Trump is scrambling to shut down the Kennedy Center after discovering that American artists and performers won't put up with his partisan takeover and unlawful renaming. And let’s be clear: a remodeling job won't restore the Kennedy Center to what it was. A return to artistic independence will.

Eleanor Holmes Norton has served the District of Columbia and our nation with integrity, brilliance, and courage. Her impact is profound, and I am deeply grateful for her extraordinary service.

Today, I was proud to take part in the ribbon cutting for the Multispecies Animal Learning Complex (MALC) at OSU's College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences. It will help launch careers in one of the state’s most essential and evolving industries. Congratulations to this team!

Today, in a roundtable with Mayor Ginther alongside Columbus faith leaders, elected officials, advocates, and more, we discussed the impact of the recent ICE enforcement in Columbus and reinforced our commitment to standing with our immigrant communities during these difficult times.

No one is above the law—not even a cabinet secretary. That's why, I am joining @robinkelly.house.gov in calling for the impeachment of DHS Secretary Noem. From obstructing Congress to violating the due process of Americans, the pattern of misconduct is clear. It’s time for accountability.

Today, on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we solemnly honor the six million Jewish lives taken during the Holocaust. As history reminds us, “Evil prevails when good people fail to act.” I am committed to condemning antisemitism wherever it appears, and standing against hate in all forms.

Today, on his birthday, I remember my remarkable husband. Otto Beatty, Jr., Esq. devoted his life to justice and standing boldly. All of his efforts reflected his unwavering care for others. You are missed more than words can express, Otto, but your legacy continues. Happy heavenly birthday.

Video appears to show shooting involving federal agents in Minneapolis Video captured by witnesses shows federal agents restraining a person before shots are fired in Minneapolis. City officials have confirmed they are investigating the shooting.

Today’s deadly shooting by ICE agents in Minneapolis shows an emerging and tragic pattern: these agents are becoming the greater danger to our communities than the people they claim to pursue for our protection.

Under HUD's proposed Continuum of Care Notice of Funding Opportunity, 10k Ohioans — families, children, veterans, and more — will lose their homes. Today, I confronted Sec. Turner about this drastic policy shift — he couldn't answer me. It's clear: the Trump Admin is worsening the housing crisis.

Trump’s effort to fire Fed Governor Lisa Cook is a power grab that threatens Fed independence and Americans’ economic security.
▶️ Watch my remarks from today’s House Democrats press conference: https://bit.ly/3LYEFYK.

Today, I stood with Ranking Member Maxine Waters and House Democrats at the Supreme Court ahead of oral arguments on Trump’s attempt to fire Fed Governor Lisa Cook. Our economy depends on an independent Fed guided by data, not political pressure, to protect businesses and family budgets.

Last year, Ohioans paid $1,532 more due to Trump's inflation. Trump promised to “bring down costs." Last week, he even claimed that “inflation is defeated" — but a year into his presidency, Ohioans are paying the price of his affordability crisis. When will he start prioritizing our families?

I was honored to join the City of Columbus' Annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day March and Program, in the spirit of Dr. King's march towards justice and equality. In these trying times, Dr. King's message inspires us to keep the fight, engage in our communities, and raise our voice for common change.
