These tariffs will be devastating for our economy, our businesses, and our standing in the world. The stock market has already started to plummet, and we are all bracing for what’s next. He is unhinged. He is reckless. And we will not forget who is single-handedly responsible for the consequences.
While families are already struggling to make ends meet, Trump’s tariffs will be the greatest tax increase on Americans since WWII. The cost of housing, cars, gas, and groceries will be going up. Trump promised to focus on reducing costs on day one, but his actions have done the opposite.
This week's episode of "The Fly-In" is joined by two guests–Rep. Brittany Pettersen and her 9-week-old son, Sam. Tune in later today to hear how her bill to allow new parents to proxy vote broke Speaker Johnson's extreme agenda for the week.
American families deserve leaders who understand the struggles parents face.   That’s why @pettersen.house.gov is fighting to make Congress more accessible to parents and families through her bipartisan resolution to allow new parents in Congress to vote remotely after their child is born.
I joined @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social this morning to talk about our bipartisan effort to stop Speaker Johnson from killing our resolution to allow new parents in Congress to vote remotely. Our message is simple: Let us vote.
Our resolution to allow new parents in Congress to vote remotely is meeting historic resistance—Speaker Johnson literally shut down the House to avoid a vote. But we have a message for Johnson: we aren’t backing down until we get this done. Let us vote.
Today, my son Sam and I showed Speaker Johnson why you don't mess with moms. Thanks to overwhelming bipartisan support, we stopped the Speaker’s attempt to kill our resolution to allow new parents in Congress to vote remotely. Thank you to everyone who stood with us today.
I’m grateful to everyone who stood with us. Your support sends a clear message: making Congress more accessible to new parents brings us one step closer to a government that truly reflects the people it serves. Next up is finally passing our resolution.
I just finished speaking on the House floor with Sam to ask my colleagues to vote no on Speaker Johnson’s attempt to block our bipartisan resolution that would allow new parents to vote remotely. What Speaker Johnson is pushing today is anti-woman, anti-parent, & anti-family.
I’m back in DC with Sam to demand that Speaker Johnson hold a vote on our bipartisan resolution to allow new moms and dads to vote remotely while caring for their newborns. Speaker Johnson himself has voted remotely 39 times—but now he’s pulling every trick in the book to stop our resolution.
Over 1,800 Coloradans showed up in Lakewood because they are deeply concerned about the direction of our country & want to know they have someone fighting for them in Washington. We may not be in power, but we're not powerless. We're fighting back by showing up, speaking out, & sharing our stories.
Speaker Johnson is trying to block a vote on our resolution to allow new parents to vote remotely while they care for their newborns. No one should have to go through what I did—flying across the country with a newborn to vote. We’re not going to stop fighting until we change these outdated rules.
Elon Musk is now suggesting they will be going after Social Security next. This would bring catastrophic consequences for seniors across the US who rely on these benefits to keep a roof over their heads and food on their tables. We won’t back down in our fight to ensure our seniors are protected.
I’m proud to be one of the moms in Congress who are changing the way we do things despite Republican leadership opposition. We now have enough support to force a vote to make Congress more accessible for young families and regular people.
10-year-old Quinn is fighting a rare and aggressive cancer. Her life depends on Medicaid. The Republican proposal to cut Medicaid puts real families, real children, and real lives at risk. We must protect Medicaid—because families like Quinn's are counting on it.
I have a message for Donald Trump: nobody fights harder than a mom. Republican leadership may have denied my ability to vote by proxy, but that didn’t stop us from voting against their disastrous budget proposal. I’ll never back down when it comes to our kids.
