In the richest country in the world, every person should have health care. Millions of Americans are going without coverage because Trump let costs skyrocket. Democrats led and passed a bill to restore the ACA tax credits. Republicans must act now. https://bit.ly/4aaujyi
Concerns rise as thousands in WA cancel health insurance
New enrollment is down while active cancellations are up, according to preliminary data released by the state health insurance exchange.

This is absolutely outrageous and horrifying. DHS agents have killed someone again, firing multiple shots at the person even though he is on the ground surrounded by agents. This needs to be investigated, and ICE and CBP need to get out of MN NOW.

Jaylani Hussein, the Executive Director of CAIR-MN, testified at our field hearing to lay out how Trump is deliberately going after Somali-Americans. We must continue to stand with communities targeted by Trump and his DHS.

Today, it was revealed that the Trump administration’s only cause for kidnapping and trying to deport Rümeysa Öztürk was an OP-ED. Last year, I grilled Secretary Rubio on that exact fact — their dangerous violation of free speech protections.

Budgets are moral choices — and Republicans are proving once again that we don’t suffer from scarcity in this country, we suffer from greed. We should be working to make health care affordable for all Americans, not padding billionaires’ pockets.

Trump has sent 600 CHILDREN into ICE detention. They are not going after the “worst of the worst” — they are ripping families apart and forever traumatizing children. This must end. https://www.propublica.org/article/ice-detentions-immigrant-kids-family-separations
ICE Sent 600 Immigrant Kids to Detention in Federal Shelters This Year. It’s a New Record.
Under a zero tolerance policy, the first Trump administration separated immigrant children from their families at the U.S.-Mexico border. New data suggests separations are happening all over the count...

Yesterday, Jack Smith was able to tell the American people what he found from his extensive investigation: that Donald Trump committed criminal acts by trying to overturn the 2020 election. Leading up to and on January 6th, Trump attempted to end our democracy.
Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govJan 23(source)
Republicans didn’t attack Jack Smith’s facts of the case today. They didn’t try and say Trump didn’t attempt to overturn the election. Why? Because they know exactly what he did and what crimes he committed. But to please their cult leader, they spent their time deflecting.
Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govJan 23(source)
Republicans barely even asked about Jack Smith’s findings today — because they know that they can’t touch the facts of his investigation. We all know what happened on Jan 6th — Donald Trump incited an insurrection. And Jack Smith’s findings confirm that.
Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govJan 22(source)
Jack Smith: “If we do not hold the most powerful people in our society to the same standards… if we don’t hold people to account when they commit crimes, it sends a message that those crimes are okay.” Trump was let off the hook for Jan 6. That is destructive for our democracy.
Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govJan 22(source)
“It doesn’t matter if you won or lost the election. You still have to fight like hell.” Special Counsel Jack Smith says that Donald Trump KNEW his allegations of election fraud were lies when he spread them.
Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govJan 22(source)
Donald Trump spread lies and conspiracy theories to his followers to make them believe the 2020 election was rigged against him, then incited an angry mob to attack the U.S. Capitol to stop the election certification. These are Special Counsel Jack Smith’s findings.
Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govJan 22(source)
Today, Jack Smith is in front of @democrats-judiciary.house.gov to tell us about his investigation into Trump’s criminal actions surrounding January 6th. I was in the Capitol that day, and I know what happened: Trump incited a violent insurrection to try and overturn the 2020 election.
