The GOP won't swear-in Adelita Grijalva, leaving AZ-07 without a federal representative during a government shutdown. She will also be the 218th and final signature to force a vote to release the Epstein files—I'm sure that's just a coincidence, right? time.com/7323800/adel...
Our government has shut down, but Speaker Johnson refuses to call the House in session and Donald Trump is out golfing. Enough is enough—Democrats stand ready to work in a bipartisan manner to deliver for the American people while House Republicans are taking a paid vacation.
Today marks 2 years since Hamas’ terrorist attack on Israel which claimed thousands of innocent lives. More than ever, a ceasefire is needed to ensure safe return of the remaining hostages, proper delivery of humanitarian aid to families in Gaza, and lasting peace in the region.
I am outraged by the news of ICE raids in Chicago that indiscriminately targeted people of color, including unnecessary harm to American citizens and children. These inhumane and unlawful attacks on our communities are abhorrent and cannot be tolerated. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...
REMINDER: Trump and Republicans are fighting for record cuts to healthcare to fund his Big, Ugly Billionaire Tax Break. There’s nothing ‘clean’ about over 56,000 people in my district seeing their healthcare coasts soar.
Let’s be clear: undocumented immigrants aren't covered by the ACA or Medicaid—period. We want to protect American’s healthcare after Republicans voted to strip over 10 million people of their healthcare in the Big, Ugly Bill.
Republicans are putting the healthcare of millions of Americans at risk. This shutdown isn’t about politics. It’s about seniors being able to pay for their prescriptions, parents being able to take their kids to the doctor, and helping small businesses thrive.
I have asked the U.S. House to withhold my pay during this government shutdown. Federal workers across the nation will suffer from this shutdown forced by the President and the GOP's Congressional majorities—and if they can't get paid, neither should members of Congress.
This morning, the GOP shut down the government in an attempt to force record cuts to federal healthcare programs. Alongside @housedemocrats.bsky.social, I am ready to work across the aisle, but Republicans would rather hurt American families than back off these harmful cuts. My statement:
The government shuts down at midnight. House Democrats are in DC fighting to keep it open and lower health care costs, but Republicans refuse to even show up to negotiate. They would rather shut down the government than address the health care crisis they have inflicted on the American people.
Gun violence is a public health crisis. Today, I introduced the National Gun Violence Research Act with @beyer.house.gov and @frost.house.gov to fund research, expand training, and improve federal coordination to turn data into lifesaving policies and solutions.
As we mark the end of Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, please know that you are not alone and that help is always available. If you or someone you know is in a crisis, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline or visit 988lifeline.org for support 24/7.
