This administration's immigration policy is clear: target anyone who has brown skin. The cruelty isn't just the point, it's the plan. I will continue to stand with our immigrant communities & do my part to equip them with resources & information to protect against these racist policies.

Donald Trump just bombed Iran without any authorization from Congress. Congress must immediately pass Rep. Massie's War Powers Resolution to block Trump from dragging the US into an unconstitutional war in the Middle East.

Trump is acting fully outside of his authority and is once again trampling on the Constitution. This is an illegal and terrifying escalation. Dropping bombs on Iran brings us closer to war and he is putting millions of lives at stake. Congress must pass our War Powers Resolution to rein him in.

President Trump's unilateral decision to strike Iran is blatantly unconstitutional. There's a reason why the Founders only gave Congress the power to declare war. The American people deserve a say in whether or not their children get sent into another foreign war. Read my full statement:

The American people must get a say in if we send their kids, family & friends to fight in another foreign war. That's why the Founders only gave Congress the power to declare war. This week, I joined @khanna.house.gov & Rep. Massie to stop our involvement in another war without a vote by Congress.

Congress Has One Way to Stop Trump From Going to War With Iran

A War Powers Resolution would prohibit the “United States Armed Forces from unauthorized hostilities in the Islamic Republic of Iran.”

On the 160th anniversary of #Juneteenth, America’s unions celebrate and commemorate the end of slavery in the United States. We’ll continue organizing in the streets and in the halls of power to fight for civil rights and economic justice for all workers.

#Juneteenth is a celebration of #BlackHistory and freedom, born from struggle and resilience. Black Americans have led that fight for generations. Today, as threats grow louder, we honor the strength of Black Americans & lift up our members who keep fighting for freedom for all.

Representative Val Hoyle@repvalhoyle.bsky.socialJun 19(source)

In a political climate full of racism & bigotry, #Juneteenth reminds us that change is only possible when we are uncompromising in our values. The abolition & liberation movement reminds us that when you're on the right side of history, you don't compromise on your values; you fight like hell.

House Republicans passed the biggest health care cut in U.S. history. Senate Republicans’ response? Hold my beer. Now they’re pushing even deeper Medicaid cuts—knowing it’ll shut down rural hospitals, strip care from their own voters, and leave millions hanging.

Friendly reminder: Medicaid isn’t a luxury, it’s a lifeline. We need healthcare we can count on. We need Medicaid.

A new AFL-CIO report shows that 179 million people with health insurance through work will pay up to $485 per person more in health care costs each year as a result of Medicaid and Affordable Care Act cuts in the budget reconciliation bill. aflcio.org/about/advoca...

On May 22, the House of Representatives passed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R. 1) on a close party-line vote of 215 -214. This Republican-led legislation is now before the Senate, and the AFL-CIO with its affiliated unions are advocating against the $1.3 trillion reduction in medical services that is included in the Republicans’ budget reconciliation policy. Based on assessments from health insurance experts, unions are concerned that working families with employment-based coverage may see their premiums increase significantly as a result of the uncompensated care costs expected to stem from this legislation.
Health coverage is a key benefit that unions often secure for their members through negotiation with employers. Union-negotiated health benefits are often provided through a multiemployer health plan that is jointly managed by a union and employers, or under a collective bargaining agreement with a single employer. The AFL-CIO requested industry analysts advising these health plans to provide an assessment of the impact of massive federal health spending cuts on people in employment-based coverage. Additional context is provided from other sources.

Uncompensated care costs shifted to private insurance could result in increased yearly costs of $182 - $485 per person for the 179 million people in employment-based coverage.
Hundreds of hospitals nationwide could reduce capacity or close due to lost revenue, making care unavailable in many communities.
607,000 health care jobs may be eliminated, intensifying the U.S. health staffing crisis and reducing everyone’s access to qualified care.
Communities Across the U.S. Will Experience a Financial Shock that Reduces Everyone’s Access to Medical Services

The Republican budget reconciliation bill pairs a package of $3.7 trillion in tax cuts skewed toward the wealthy and corporations with massive spending cuts in Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Program, the Affordable Care Act, and other federal programs. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) found that the Republicans’ reconciliation policy will eliminate $1.3 trillion dollars in health care spending under these programs, through reductions in the bill and failing to include ACA enhanced premium tax credits among the scores of other tax provisions the bill extends. CBO estimated that these combined policies will result in 16 million people becoming uninsured.

Many of the 16 million losing insurance will forgo needed medical care, even for chronic conditions, until they become seriously ill. Researchers found that H.R. 1 will result in 51,000 preventable deaths a year – 38,000 due to lack of insurance coverage and an additional 13,000 due to the repeal of nursing home staffing standards. Others losing insurance will still seek care in desperation, even if they are unable to pay for it. Many will incur medical debt and experience creating financial hardship. Hospitals, who are forbidden by federal law to turn away seriously ill patients without treating or transferring them, will not compensated for the care provided because they are unable to collect from patients who lack insurance.

The budget bill that the Senate is considering would be a nightmare for working families. It would throw 16 MILLION people off their health care, likely close 338 hospitals and cut SNAP food assistance for 2 million kids. Working people say hell no!

I have joined @khanna.house.gov & Rep. Massie to stop our involvement in another war without a vote by Congress. I've always said, under both parties, only Congress can declare war. I will not send more of our kids to die in wars started by people whose kids aren't putting their lives on the line.

These are the types of lies that fuel copy-cat attacks and lead to more violence. Where are my Republican colleagues, why are they so afraid to call out the depravity? [3/3]
