President Trump and House Republicans promised they would lower costs for everyday Americans. THEY LIED TO YOU. Instead, they announced a new push to cut Medicaid and take health care away from kids, parents, and seniors. #HouseDemocrats won’t let it happen. #RepublicanRipOff

Extreme weather events are becoming more frequent & severe due to the climate crisis. I reintroduced the The Energy Resilient Communities Act w/ @repyvetteclarke.bsky.social to invest in resilient infrastructure to keep hospitals, fire stations & critical services running when disaster strikes.

HHS must lead with science, integrity, and compassion—because health care is a right, not a privilege. That’s why I stand with #HouseDemocrats in calling on Secretary Kennedy to uphold our nation’s commitment to accessible, quality health care for all.

The Republican budget would cut $230 billion from food assistance programs like SNAP—hurting parents, seniors, & kids who rely on these benefits. No child in America should go hungry while billionaires get tax breaks. @HouseDemocrats will fight back against this #RepublicanRipOff.

Agree with Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum - cartels get their ability to inflict terror upon the people of Mexico because of U.S. guns. U.S gun sellers and manufacturers should be liable.

Jocelynn Rojo Carranza should still be here. We lost this beautiful child because of hatred and bullying of immigrants normalized by Trump, right-wing media, other officials, and adults. No child should ever feel this kind of despair. No family should have to endure this pain. This has to stop.

Donald Trump’s illegal firing of National Labor Relations Board Member Gwynne Wilcox has shut down the agency responsible for protecting workers' rights. Workers deserve better. @HouseDemocrats and @SenateDems will not stand for it. We are calling on Trump to immediately reinstate her.

Trump and his morally reprehensible band of thieves, bullies, and liars have no bottom to their ugliness and depravity. Removing legal representation from children - many who have fled violence & danger in their home countries - is just sick.

Elon Musk & his data thieves want the personal IRS information of EVERY American. Trump doesn’t care. #HouseDemocrats introduced a bill to protect your data - but House Republicans choose Musk over you, refuse to stand up for hardworking American taxpayers, & will not protect your sensitive data.

This is insane. Most experts agree that our air traffic system is already stretched thin - this move by Trump & Musk will make Americans less safe. Are any Republicans in Congress going to stand up and do something? What about the Secretary of Transportation? #TrumpShitShow

Trump & Musk will make sure most Americans suffer as they take away critical services & support. They don’t care about YOU. They don’t care about the rule of law or corruption. They ONLY care about more money & more power for billionaires & big corporations. #RepublicanRipOff

Trump admin plans to cut up to 50% of HUD’s workforce. All of this just to give tax breaks to billionaires & corporations. This #RepublicanRipOff would devastate low-income & middle class families, seniors, & people with disabilities. #ProtectHUD

We remember the 17 lives lost & 17 injured in a senseless mass shooting in Parkland, FL 7 years ago today. I toured Marjory Stoneman Douglas HS & will carry those images for the rest of my life. #HouseDemocrats continue to fight for commonsense gun safety legislation. #EndGunViolence

If you’re a billionaire, tax cheat, or wealthy donor to Trump & his #RepublicanRipOff buddies - you’ll love this budget. If you’re a hard working American like the majority of us who just want a fair shake & services that you’ve paid into your entire working life - the @HouseGOP just screwed you.

Polluters celebrate Trump’s moves to get rid of DOJ’s environmental enforcement division. We will now have less accountability for polluters & more pollution in communities of color & low-income areas. My letter w/ @repyassansari.bsky.social & 39 colleagues to AG Bondi demands answers.

Elon Musk is Donald Trump’s boss now and has taken control of the federal government. Musk is the REAL president. No transparency. No guardrails. Refusal to follow laws, Constitution, or system of checks & balances.

Donald Trump’s tariffs start today. 25% tax Mexican & Canadian goods. It’s direct tax on American consumers. Trump’s tariffs against our neighbors and top trading partners won’t create jobs or boost the economy - they’ll make life more expensive when Americans. #RepublicanRipoff
