CBP is revoking protections for the most vulnerable people in its custody — pregnant women, babies, the elderly. Every day, I think that we have reached the apex of cruelty this administration can inflict on immigrants, and yet it still continues to grow. Read my full statement.

Trump’s reckless tariffs are already raising costs for Americans, on everything from wheelchairs to comic books — and they brought receipts to show it. We need to end these pointless trade wars, lower prices, and deliver for families. www.npr.org/2025/05/08/g...

Americans are already seeing Trump's tariffs kick in. They sent in receipts to prove it

There's new tariffs on almost everything that is imported. Some of that increased cost is being eaten by exporters in other countries, but a lot of the higher prices are being picked up by Americans, ...

Trump and Republicans want to give the richest 0.1% a $300,000/year tax cut. And for the rest of us? Breadcrumbs.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govMay 9(source)

There are now 1,000 measles cases in this country. And over a third of cases are children. RFK Jr. and the Trump admin’s misinformation about this virus and vaccines are dangerous and could cost lives.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govMay 9(source)

The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that Trump must facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. His own administration admitted before a judge that his deportation was an “administrative error.” This entire situation is a stain on our nation. Bring Kilmar back NOW.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govMay 9(source)

As Public Service Recognition Week comes to a close, I want to take a moment to thank all our dedicated public workers for their service and for all the work they do to make our lives better. As Trump continues his attacks on federal workers, I’ll keep fighting to defend them.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govMay 9(source)

I’m an immigrant. I came to the United States to study, become a citizen, and contribute because I believe so much in the promise of America. When Trump rips away student visas and terrorizes students, that hurts our entire country.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govMay 9(source)

Trump just fired the head of FEMA — three weeks before the start of hurricane season in the Atlantic. He’s kneecapping our biggest disaster agency, leaving millions of Americans in danger and without lifesaving information and aid.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govMay 8(source)

Medicaid saves lives, and we will not stand by as Trump and Republicans work to cut this program and take away health care from millions of Americans, just so they can give a tax cut to billionaires. Proud to rally with @caringacross.org to protect Medicaid.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govMay 8(source)

Democrats need to show that we aren’t just fighting back — we’re fighting FORWARD. Let’s show the country what our vision is: big investments in housing, universal child care, bringing down costs, making health care affordable, and more.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govMay 8(source)

Trump’s plans to deport people to Libya without due process are illegal, full stop. This is about all of us. If Trump can ignore due process rights for some, he can ignore them for everyone. We must loudly stand up to and fight back against these authoritarian acts.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govMay 8(source)

Here are this week’s 3 bad things and 3 good things you need to know about to stay in-the-know! Keep fighting and stay engaged. Our resistance is strong.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govMay 8(source)

Trump wants to send people to a prison in Libya described as a “hellscape” in a country where the U.S. literally has a “Do Not Travel” advisory. Absolutely not. The courts have been clear that this is illegal. Follow the law.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govMay 8(source)

Americans are rationing insulin, going to bed hungry, and can’t afford rent or child care. So what did we do this morning in the House to help people? Absolutely nothing. Republicans wasted precious time in Congress to rename Gulf of Mexico. I voted NO.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govMay 8(source)

Under Trump, the U.S. economy has shrunk for the first time in years. He’s not lowering costs, he’s not tackling inflation. He’s just slashing critical programs like Medicaid so Republicans can pass a $7 trillion tax cut for billionaires.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govMay 8(source)

ICYMI: I reintroduced my Medicare for All Act last week — to ensure EVERY American has access to health care. No copays, no deductibles, no premiums. It’s that simple. It’s time for Medicare for All.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govMay 8(source)

NEW: I led dozens of members in calling out Trump’s cruel and unconstitutional immigration actions over his first 100 days in office and demanding a reversal in policy. We won’t sit by as he illegally kidnaps and disappears immigrants with no due process. jayapal.house.gov/2025/05/07/j...

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govMay 8(source)

ICYMI: I introduced an amendment to prohibit ICE from detaining and deporting U.S. citizens. Every single Republican voted no. Unbelievable. www.newsweek.com/republicans-...

Republicans vote against move to stop ICE deporting US citizens

One Democratic lawmaker called the situation "bats**t crazy."

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govMay 7(source)

Every dollar invested in programs that benefit children, like Head Start, yields $10 in societal returns. That’s a 1,000% return on investment. But now Republicans want to cut these programs — all so billionaires can pay less in taxes.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govMay 7(source)

Donald Trump is making it more expensive to be a parent and raise your kids. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Trump’s tariffs hit baby industry hard, threatening parents with price hikes, shortages

More than 70 percent of U.S. baby gear is made in China, and that isn’t likely to change any time soon.
