This type of interaction exemplifies the danger of Donald Trump. Take a minute and imagine if a Democratic President did this. We will continue to hold Trump accountable.

House Democrats will not allow Republicans to cut your Medicaid benefits. We are fighting back.

Donald Trump has now backed the GOP House bill that would deliver $4.5 trillion in tax cuts for the rich, while raising the debt ceiling by $4 trillion and cutting $2 trillion from America’s middle class. I’m ready to fight to make sure this bill never passes.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are laying the ground work for cuts to Medicaid, Social Security, and other government programs. House Democrats are going to fight back and stop them. We will not let it happen.

The Trump Administration is actively pushing out career government officials. This latest resignation, from the acting head of the Social Security Administration underscores the danger of this Administration’s actions. The data should not be in DOGE’s hands.

I don’t think an unelected billionaire like Elon Musk should have access to your personal data—we need to prevent DOGE from getting into the IRS. abcnews.go.com/Politics/elo...

House Democrats will never let Republicans cut a penny from Medicaid. I promise to fight any such effort tooth and nail to block it. We must protect our people.

These employees safeguard our nation's nuclear weapons arsenal. They should never have been fired. This is extremely concerning. amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/02/...

Today, we remember the innocent lives lost at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. We must never forget their memories, and honor their memories with action to end the gun violence epidemic in our nation.

Cutting Medicaid and SNAP is not the answer. We cannot leave everyday Americans behind. We cannot cut critical government programs. www.americanprogress.org/article/budg...

Elon Musk and Donald Trump are actively opening the door for China to step in and fill the void America has left around the world. Their moves are setting our nation back decades. This cannot continue. www.politico.com/newsletters/...

Donald Trump and JD Vance are laying the groundwork for a possible constitutional crisis where the Administration rejects a lawful court order. We cannot sit idly by. We cannot allow them to subvert our constitutional system.

The Trump Administration suffered two major losses in Court today, first in Rhode Island where a judge found that the Administration was in violation of its prior order, and second, in Massachusetts, where a judge blocked Trump's cuts to NIH funding. This is just the beginning.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are active threats to our country and our democracy. Musk should never have had access to these systems in the first place. House Democrats will hold them both accountable. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/07/n...

The American people did not vote for Elon Musk. He should be fired and removed from government.

The voters did not elect Elon Musk and should not be beholden to his actions. Democrats in Congress will hold him accountable.

A President cannot unilaterally abolish a government agency via executive order. Should Trump try to do this to the Department of Education, Democrats in Congress are going to fight tooth and nail to stop him. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Donald Trump’s tariffs will not lower the cost of groceries. On the campaign trail, he said he has “concepts of plans” to lower costs. Clearly his only plan is to make Americans pay more at the grocery store and at the pump.

Donald Trump campaigned on lowering costs. Now, with his tariffs, he is raising them. The people of my district and the state of Michigan will not forget his broken promise. Tariffs are bad for business and for our economy.

Happy Black History Month! While those in the White House want to remove this observance off our calendar, we cannot let them do it. Let's honor and celebrate Black Americans today and every day.

Donald Trump’s remarks over the past 24 hours have been abhorrent. D.E.I. did not cause the horrific plane crash in Washington, D.C. Americans deserve better than Trump’s lack of leadership.

Donald Trump’s federal assistance freeze sent our nation into chaos. And, Republicans in Congress stood by him silently. This is not how you govern. We cannot allow this chaos to continue for four years. House Democrats will fight back.

Donald Trump’s decision to freeze federal funding has plunged our country into chaos, threatening access to healthcare, childcare, reduced school meals and so much more. Michiganders deserve better, and I stand read to fight back against this unconstitutional order.

Thank you, Senator Peters, for a lifetime of service to our state and our nation. Michiganders are better off because of all that you have accomplished, and it was an honor to serve alongside you! www.detroitnews.com/story/news/p...

Mass deportations won’t lower the cost of groceries in America. House Democrats have real plans to support everyday Americans and ensure they can live affordable lives. Unfortunately, Trump and Republicans would rather focus on extremism than getting things done.

FEMA is a critical government agency. Donald Trump's comments today are wrong. We need to keep FEMA to ensure disaster relief is smooth and streamlined to the communities that need it. www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...

If you were born in the United States of America, you are an American citizen. That's the post.

Roe v. Wade was the law of the land 52 years ago. It still should be today. Let’s work to protect reproductive rights for all.

Instead of renaming geographic areas or signing unconstitutional executive orders, Donald Trump should be focused on lowering the price of groceries. It’s unfortunate he’s playing political games instead of helping the American people.

No matter what Donald Trump says or does, birthright citizenship has and will be the law of the land. I will fight to protect it at all costs. www.axios.com/2025/01/21/t...

With the inauguration tomorrow, know that I am going to stand up for Michiganders and our values each and every day. Together, we will fight extremism and protect our rights. That’s my commitment to you.

Birthright citizenship is the law of the land and should stay that way.

Donald Trump’s plan to acquire Greenland and the Panama Canal won’t lower the cost of food for everyday Americans. Democratic members of Congress are ready to work to help Americans. The same cannot be said of my GOP colleagues.

Democrats in Congress are going to fight back against any attempt to roll back birthright citizenship. It’s wrong. It must be stopped.

Democrats in Congress want to protect Social Security and Medicare. Republicans want to gut these critical programs. The difference could not be clearer.

Democrats will make sure that Medicaid is never on the chopping block. We will protect your healthcare.

As Detroit’s Congressman, you can count on me to fight back against any cuts to the Affordable Care Act. I will always protect your healthcare.

MAGA Republicans have continued to attack me, telling me to go back to India. I’m not going back, and I’ll fight this racism and xenophobia. I will protect Michiganders and their rights, and I won't be afraid to take on MAGA when needed.

Democrats are going to fight these cuts every single day. We will not let Republicans take away your healthcare. www.politico.com/news/2025/01...

Healthcare is a basic human right, and it’s long past time we start acting like it. We cannot let Republicans restrict the Affordable Care Act in any way.

Talking about buying Greenland and the Panama Canal won’t lower the price of eggs in the United States. Republicans spread fear. Democrats are working to actually help Americans.

Instead of talking about ending birthright citizenship or acquiring Canada or Greenland, we should be talking about lowering the cost of living in America. It’s that simple.

Democrats kept the government open last month after Republicans led by Elon Musk and Donald Trump tried to shut it down. We will never stop fighting for Americans.

Today, I will be at the Capitol Building, where just four years ago, Trump and his allies tried to destroy our democracy. Unlike MAGA, Democrats will do our job and certify the 2024 election. We will never forget their actions that day.

Democrats will always protect Social Security and Medicare. Full stop.

I was proud to vote for Leader Hakeem Jeffries to become Speaker, and I will continue to vote for Hakeem Jeffries in every round to come.

Today, I am excited and proud to be casting my vote to make Hakeem Jeffries the next Speaker of the House. While Republicans are in chaos, Democrats are united around Leader Jeffries.

As the new Congress is sworn in tomorrow, I’m more committed than ever to protecting the rights and benefits of Michiganders.

To the MAGA Republicans telling me to go back to India, my message is clear: I’m not going back, and I’ll fight this racism and xenophobia everywhere it presents itself.

No American should have to choose between paying for lifesaving healthcare and putting food on the table. It’s that simple.
