We can't become numb to this lunacy. Republicans can't let anti-vaxxers like Lyn Redwood help OVERSEE vaccine safety. She will spread even more dangerous lies about vaccines—and she’s going to get kids killed. She doesn't belong anywhere near CDC. My full statement. ⬇️

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

Food aid helps stabilize fragile regions, and it keeps our adversaries from gaining ground and goodwill. I took to the House floor for the 22nd time to say: Restoring global food aid is a national security priority.

The SCOTUS decision to allow states to defund Planned Parenthood will mean real harm to millions of women who need cancer screenings or birth control in South Carolina and other GOP states that follow their lead. A devastating blow to women's health care in America, but I’ll keep fighting back.

The number of migrants detained in ICE facilities has reached a record high of more than 56,000! Federal law PERMITS MEMBERS OF CONGRESS TO MAKE UNANNOUNCED VISITS to ICE facilities to inspect them, but NOW officers at the DHS SAY THEY CAN DENY OR CANCEL ANY VISIT IF THEY “deem it appropriate”!!!

This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.

My daughter was just telling me that a few of her friends can’t go to see the fireworks display, because they’re afraid that ICE will grab them. This is the country we now live in, where a government agency has made 15-year-olds afraid to hang out with their friends and celebrate Independence Day.

The Senate will soon vote on a bill that would enact over $1 trillion in cuts to life-saving programs so billionaires can get another massive tax giveaway. Help us stop the cuts by contacting Medicaid recipients and urging them to call their senators before the upcoming vote on Trump’s Tax Scam.

The Bove allegations should be treated as something akin to Watergate, or Iran Contra. The administration was attempting to do something they knew was illegal (anticipating the courts saying as much), and then trying to COVER IT UP. Only here instead of it being run out of the WH or NSC, it’s DOJ
