The Constitution gives Congress the power of the purse. The president's job is to "faithfully execute" the decisions we've made and he has signed into law. He may not impound, redirect or confiscate money outside federal law.

Last night, House Republicans rushed through Trump's recissions package. It's a rubber stamp of DOGE's cuts and cancels funds that have already been approved (and that Republicans voted for). Congress has the power of the purse, but this GOP-led Congress won't stand up to Trump. I voted NO.

House passes Trump’s $9 billion DOGE cuts package in another legislative win for president | CNN Politics

House Republicans gave the final stamp of approval early Friday morning to a package of $9 billion in spending cuts to foreign aid and public broadcasting, handing a win to President Donald Trump.

The Trump Administration isn’t focused on protecting our communities, they are focused on targeting them.

Congressman Juan Vargas@vargas.house.govJul 17(source)

According to Trump’s so-called Border Czar, probable cause doesn't matter – ICE can harass and detain you just based on your “physical appearance”. That’s racial profiling, plain and simple. And they’re not even trying to hide it.

Homan: "People need to understand ICE officers and Border Patrol don't need probable cause to walk up to somebody, briefly detain them, and question them ... based on their physical appearance."

Trump just ended #988's specialized services for LGBTQI+ callers in crisis. His cruelty truly knows no bounds. Supporting LGBTQI+ mental health *is* a bipartisan issue. This Admin needs to stop politicizing it. Read Chair @repmarktakano.bsky.social's full statement here:

We just got new numbers on inflation: Trump's chaotic tariffs are raising costs. We're challenging his abuse of emergency powers to impose tariffs in court.

Congressman Juan Vargas@vargas.house.govJul 15(source)

Greed, predatory lending, and deregulation crashed the economy and destroyed millions of lives in 2008. Democrats passed Dodd-Frank to stop it from happening again. Now, Republicans are working to undo it all. We're sounding the alarm.

Congressman Juan Vargas@vargas.house.govJul 14(source)

This is an attack on kids and families across every school district in our country. I support legislation to protect the Department of Education, and I’ll continue to use every tool at my disposal to hold this Administration accountable and block this shameful decision.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court is allowing President Trump to put his plan to dismantle the Education Department back on track and lay off nearly 1,400 employees.

I won’t stop fighting to protect the programs our communities rely on.

Congressman Juan Vargas@vargas.house.govJul 11(source)

The Trump Administration’s latest attack on our communities is shameful. Programs like Head Start support thousands of our nation’s children & families. The Trump Admin is weaponizing these essential services, threatening workers’ livelihoods & ripping away health care from hardworking families.

That’s why I’m proud to reintroduce the Border Water Quality Restoration and Protection Act, which would put the EPA in charge of coordinating a whole-of-government effort to stop this pollution. We won’t let up.

Congressman Juan Vargas@vargas.house.govJul 10(source)

Cross-border pollution has been harming our communities for far too long. This crisis demands a unified response from all levels of government—but it also demands leadership.

Congressman Juan Vargas@vargas.house.govJul 7(source)

This is just devastating. My heart breaks for the victims, their loved ones, and everyone impacted by this terrible flooding in Texas. As first responders continue their heroic efforts to save lives, I'm keeping the entire community in my prayers.

At least 89 people are dead after devastating flash floods slammed Texas Hill Country. Of the fatalities so far, 75 have occurred in Kerr County, its sheriff said Monday.

Nearly two and a half centuries ago, our nation was born with a promise of liberty and justice for all. Today and every day, we work to make that promise come true for all. Happy Fourth of July to everyone in #CA52 and across the nation!

Acabo de votar en contra de la Gran y Feo Proyecto de Ley de Trump, una legislación cruel y avergonzante que incluye algunos de los recortes mas grandes en atención médica y asistencia alimentaria de la historia de nuestro país. Mi declaración completa:

Congressman Juan Vargas@vargas.house.govJul 3(source)

I just voted against Trump's Big Ugly Bill, a cruel and shameful piece of legislation that includes some of the largest cuts to health care and food assistance in our country's history. My full statement:

Congressman Juan Vargas@vargas.house.govJul 3(source)

Republicans just voted to pass Trump's Big Ugly Bill without a single Democratic vote. They betrayed working families and will kick millions of people off of their health care - all to give tax cuts to billionaires. Beyond shameful. We won't forget this.

Congressman Juan Vargas@vargas.house.govJul 3(source)

Leader Jeffries has been holding the floor for over five hours, laying out what's at stake in Trump's Big Ugly Bill. This bill will cut health care and SNAP for millions to pay for tax cuts for the rich. It's a TOTAL betrayal of families across the nation. NO ONE should be voting for this.

Just took to the House Floor to speak in support of a country where everyone can afford to live the good life. And in strong opposition to Trump’s One Big Ugly Bill that is devastating to everyday Americans. We will not be silenced. www.youtube.com/live/3pbFrch...

Congressman Juan Vargas@vargas.house.govJul 3(source)

It's after midnight here in Washington and Republicans are still trying to jam through their Big Ugly Bill. Democrats are united in our opposition. NO to 17 million Americans losing health care. NO to gutting SNAP. NO to this cruelty. We're fighting this every step of the way. #KillTheBill

Congressman Juan Vargas@vargas.house.govJul 3(source)

No vamos a dejar de pelear en contra de este cochino bill.
