Reposted byCongresswoman Betty McCollum
I filed an amendment to block Medicaid cuts until it's proven they won't cause hospital closures or reduced care. Republicans rejected it.

I'm heartbroken by the killings of Israeli Embassy staffers Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim last night in Washington, DC. My thoughts are with their families as they grieve this horrific act of antisemitic violence.
Political violence of any kind has no place in our nation.
It was easy to vote no on this bill. Leading with my Minnesota values, I will oppose any Republican efforts to cut Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, Veterans’ benefits, and nutrition assistance for Minnesota families, especially when they’re made in service to millionaires and billionaires.
The President of the United States already has an Air Force One that is suitable for official travel. The new Air Force One should be built from the ground-up in America with union labor, not the gift of a foreign nation’s surplus flying palace.
The simple truth is that the Qatari airplane is not fit for use as Air Force One in its current state. Retrofitting this civilian aircraft will cost U.S. taxpayers millions of dollars that Congress has not appropriated.
President Trump’s decision to accept a gilded Boeing 747 from Qatar without Congressional approval, under questionable pretenses, is a flagrant violation of the Emoluments Clause.
Medicaid provides health care for Minnesotans with disabilities, seniors, children, and working parents. SNAP keeps families from going hungry. Republicans are trying to gut both.
Join me on Saturday, May 31 for a town hall discussion. RSVP: forms.gle/spD7gZtdqtgt...
President Trump and Congressional Republicans are doing everything they can to guarantee their billionaire donors get budget-busting tax cuts they feel entitled to — even at the expense of health care and food for millions of Americans.
Congressman Gerry Connolly was a diligent watchdog working hard to hold the Trump administration accountable and advocating for public servants who deliver for Americans. His work will endure. My thoughts are with his family and friends grieving his loss this morning.
If you’re still up at 1AM tonight after the Timberwolves game, you can tune into C-SPAN to watch an important hearing on the GOP tax scam bill. GOP leaders chose the dead of night, because their bill would take away health care from nearly 14 million Americans.
Why are House Republicans scheduling a key committee hearing at 1AM? Because it’s to jam through their unpopular GOP tax scam bill to strip away healthcare from 14 million Americans, provide massive tax cuts to the ultrawealthy, and explode the deficit by $5,000,000,000,000.
Serving our nation in addition to managing a civilian job — and in many cases supporting a family, too — is one of the highest forms of service. Proud to hear from our National Guard and Reserves leadership on how best to support our citizen soldiers and their families.
The Republican Tax Scam:
🤑 Hands the top 0.1% over $750 a day in tax benefits
👎 Saves less than $1 a day for those who make under $50,000
🏥 Kicks almost 14 million Americans off their healthcare
During Jewish American Heritage Month, I'm celebrating the contributions of our Jewish friends in Minnesota and around the nation. Diversity, understanding, and inclusion make America stronger. We all must commit to a community where all faiths and cultures may live free from persecution.
My colleague Rep. LaMonica McIver has my full support as she fights politicized charges brought against her for conducting Congressional oversight over Donald Trump’s violations of the due process rights of ICE detainees. Democrats will not be intimidated. We will fight back.
Congressional Republicans like to talk a big game about fiscal responsibility. But their priority remains the same: Rewarding their billionaire megadonors with budget-busting tax cuts.
Birthright citizenship is protected under the Constitution and in federal law, but it’s under unprecedented attack from President Trump. I’m signing on in support of the legal fight to protect it against Trump’s unconstitutional executive order.
Republicans in Congress are determined to ram through their tax scheme as quickly as possible using late night votes. There’s a reason why they’re rushing this process and using the cover of night: Because the more Americans learn about this scam, the more unpopular it gets.
My thoughts are with Joe & Jill Biden and the entire Biden family following the news of the former President's cancer diagnosis. I’m praying that his health is restored quickly and hoping that he makes a full recovery in the weeks ahead.
The use of bunker-busting bombs by Israeli Defense Forces to target civilian hospitals must stop immediately. Strikes on civilians are completely unacceptable. The people of Gaza are on the brink of starvation, and Israeli actions to bomb hospitals are driving the region further from peace.
