On November 21, 2024, Congresswoman Tlaib shared her decision to vote against a piece of legislation she referred to as the "Nonprofit Killer" bill. She stated, "I just voted against the 'Nonprofit Killer' bill for the THIRD time."
Later that day, Tlaib highlighted housing issues faced by some of her residents due to environmental conditions.
