Communities of color and women's voting rights are under attack. The SAVE Act would create new barriers that make it harder for many Americans to vote. I wrote in the Indianapolis Recorder about why we must protect access to the ballot.
The U.S. lost 92,000 jobs lost in February while prices climb and families struggle to keep up with rising costs. President Trump promised lower costs on day one, but job losses are doing nothing to make life more affordable for working people.
The United States should not be dragged into another senseless war without the consent of the American people.
That’s why I’m a cosponsor of the Iran War Powers Resolution and will vote YES today. The American people deserve debate and transparency before sending our troops into harm’s way.
This gathering strengthens our bonds and renews our intentions. Ramadan Mubarak!
Muslim leaders are present in every aspect of public service—often working behind the scenes to shape policy and improve lives.
Every year, I co-host a Congressional Iftar with my sisters @repilhan.bsky.social, @reprashida.govpeeps.us, and @replsimon.bsky.social to honor these public servants.
Indianapolis families are already facing higher costs for healthcare, groceries, and housing. The last thing they need is another increase in their utility bills.
I’ve worked in Congress to lower utility costs, but the Trump administration is constantly undermining our efforts by prioritizing corporate interests.
I’m very concerned that AES’s move toward private ownership will hurt Hoosiers. Private firms having a stake in public utilities – an essential service – will put profits over people.

I’m so sorry to hear about the loss of Danise Baird. I’m praying for Rep. Baird and the entire family as they navigate this incredibly difficult time.
The Iranian people have shown extraordinary courage standing up for their rights over and over again. We need to meaningfully strengthen democracy without another open-ended war.
President Trump continues to put our troops and civilians in danger.
I’m a cosponsor of a War Powers Resolution to reign in the president’s reckless and illegal wars. I’m calling on House leadership to immediately bring it to the floor next week.
Last night, Trump touted a new retirement savings plan to help millions of working Americans.
Except it's not a new plan. It's Democrats' plan—and President Biden already signed it into law in 2022.
Beware of Trump taking Democrats' accomplishments and passing them off as his own.
Enough. Survivors deserve accountability. They deserve the full truth— not a redacted version designed to protect the wealthy and powerful.
I stand with survivors. Release the Epstein files, in full.
I've repeatedly voted against ICE funding under Trump's cruel regime. Government funding should be used for housing, combatting food deserts, and improving our roads—not to detain children and murder U.S. citizens.
ICE is considering Indianapolis for a new detention facility.
Here's my message to ICE: you're not welcome.
I will not participate in a spectacle that doesn’t address the real issues and challenges facing our country. I will not help fill the audience to create any impression of support for Trump’s failed policies.
Families are stretched thin by higher prices. Communities are disturbed by fatal immigration enforcement tactics. And working people are watching the wealthiest Americans benefit while the middle class is left behind.
I will not be attending Trump’s State of the Union.
The American people already know what the state of our union is. It is marked by frustration, rising costs, and deep exhaustion.
I secured federal funding for Shepherd Community Center, which is working to break the cycle of poverty in Indianapolis. These investments are essential to strengthening our community.
Trump’s tariffs have caused costs to skyrocket – but the Supreme Court just ruled these tariffs are illegal, in what’s being called a “major blow” to Trump.
Trump is already losing 70% of court cases filed against him. Now there’s another to add to the list.
NEW I secured over $13 million for Indianapolis. Each year, I bring home Community Project Funding to invest directly in our city. Learn more at carson.house.gov
Ramadan Mubarak! Tonight, Hoosiers and Muslims around the world begin a month of reflection, renewal, and gratitude. I wish all who observe a blessed and fulfilling Ramadan.
Rep. Fine continues to make completely racist and Islamophobic comments without repercussions.
These statements aren't just words. They spur hate and violence against the Muslim community. As Dean of the Muslim Caucus, I'm calling on Rep. Fine to resign. We can’t let this bigotry go unchecked.
A veteran of the Marion County Sheriff's Office and a graduate of IUPUI, Officer Elliott dedicated his life to our community—and we are deeply grateful.
Officer Brian Elliott lost his life in the line of duty last night. I'm praying for his family and the entire Beech Grove Police Department, and another officer who was shot and injured.
It's how I'll be honoring him. Today, the nation mourns a civil rights icon, and I mourn a mentor and friend.
“I may be poor, but I am Somebody; I may be young; but I am Somebody; I may be on welfare, but I am Somebody.”
It's a poem Rev. Jesse Jackson often repeated—the idea that we must recognize the humanity in every person.
Black history will not be erased. I was honored to present the Julia M. Carson Community Award to Ophelia Wellington for her work showcasing and preserving Black Hoosier history with Freetown Village.
Happy Valentine’s Day! Each year, I team up with Indianapolis schools for our Valentines for Vets program to deliver valentines to nursing homes and veteran service organizations. Thanks to all who participated!
We should be expanding voting access, not creating more unnecessary hoops to participate in democracy. I oppose this bill.
