This is the Trump Administration. Deporting a child, who is a US citizen with brain cancer and was literally on her way to an emergency checkup, because her parents are undocumented. Cruel. Inhumane. Evil. www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/...
Trump, Elon Musk, and Republicans are going to keep trying to slash Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. The question for Democrats is: are we going to be complicit and give them a blank check to continue? My answer is HELL NO.
Republicans have the power to keep the government open. They have majorities in the House, Senate, and the White House. If the government shuts down, it will be on them. Democrats have the power to stand up for the American people — and that’s exactly what we’re doing.
My bill would repeal parts of the Alien Registration Act that Trump is trying to use, blocking his ability to force immigrants to register with the government. We’ve seen this script before. It’s racist, xenophobic, and a waste of resources. Let’s stop it.
Yes, there are many undocumented immigrants currently residing in the United States. It is also true that the average undocumented immigrant has been in America for 16 years — working and contributing to our economy and our communities. They have jobs and families. They pay taxes.
This law was also used after 9/11, putting 13,000 people from Muslim-majority, Arab, African, and South Asian countries into deportation proceedings. It resulted in zero terrorism convictions and was later called inefficient and a waste of resources by Homeland Security.
The Alien Registration Act of 1940 was used for the inhumane imprisonment of more than 120,000 people of Japanese descent in concentration camps across the U.S. during WWII. Trump is following in those footsteps.
NEW: Trump is trying to use a long-dormant immigration law associated with the most shameful periods of US history to force undocumented people to register, making it easier to carry out his mass deportations. I’ll be introducing legislation to stop him. Let me explain.🧵
Funding the government is a bipartisan process — both sides come together, negotiate spending levels, and pass a bill. Instead, Republicans have decided to pass partisan legislation that includes devastating cuts. Democrats won’t be complicit in hurting working people.
JD Vance told House Republicans yesterday that Republicans will take the blame for a government shutdown. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I agree with JD Vance. If there is a shutdown, it’s on Republicans.
Republicans’ partisan spending bill does two things: 1. It slashes billions from veterans’ health care, cuts food and rental assistance, and jeopardizes Social Security 2. It also gives a blank check to Trump and Elon to continue dismantling our government That’s why I voted NO.
Trump and Elon Musk are firing thousands of Education Department workers — the agency that distributes funding to high-poverty schools. Republicans are cutting off education from poor kids, all so they can pass a giant tax cut for billionaires. www.cnn.com/2025/03/11/p...
Republicans just passed their slush fund to allow Trump and Elon Musk to keep ripping apart vital federal programs. Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, veterans’ health care, food and rental assistance, you name it. They’re taking a chainsaw to everything our communities rely on.
The Constitution gives the power of the purse to Congress — not the President, and definitely not an unelected billionaire. This Republican spending bill hands over the keys to Trump and Musk, completely disregarding our Constitution.
This Republican spending bill would give Trump and Elon Musk unchecked power to continue taking a chainsaw to our government — threatening cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, and so much more. This bill is a bad deal for Americans. I will be voting NO.
In an hour, Republicans will bring their spending bill up for a vote. It cuts funding from veterans’ health care, jeopardizes Social Security, and could evict 32,000 families from their homes. Democrats won’t be complicit in making life harder for Americans. I’ll be voting NO.
