“Today, we can say in no uncertain terms that we’ve made our union a little more perfect."
Proud to stand with the LGBTQ+ community as we celebrate 10 years of the landmark Obergefell decision and continue the fight for a more perfect union.

"How many registered voters support the Republican budget bill?"
Fox News: 38%
KFF: 35%
Pew: 29%
Quinnipiac: 27%
The American people aren't fooled. As they learn more about the bill, they learn how harmful it is.

From the elimination of work permits to significant reductions in new, lawful immigration and more, Republican immigration policies are going to drive up prices for everyone.
Are you ready to pay $2,150 more each year for everyday goods and services?

People are dying at detention centers run by companies receiving hundreds of millions of dollars in no-bid contracts by the Trump administration.
This is why congressional oversight is so important: it's clear companies like CoreCivic can't be trusted.

"Pausing" Job Corps is the same as ending it: it's inconsistent with federal law and has upended thousands of lives across the country, including in El Paso.
I continue to urge the Trump administration to reconsider shutting down the program.

I wish Republicans would think of our veterans and work in a bipartisan manner that prioritizes our veterans and their health care, not diminishes it.
From the plans to fire 80,000 veterans to the privatization of the VA, the Republican funding bill for the Military Construction and Veterans Affairs subcommittee is laying the foundations for Project 2025.
I voted no.
People depend on Medicaid.
Hospitals depend on Medicaid.
Clinics depend on Medicaid.
Nursing homes depend on Medicaid.
And Republicans want to slash Medicaid.
Everyone says they’re against waste, fraud, and abuse.
Yet Republicans have fired government watch dogs whose entire jobs are rooting out those very problems.
The Republican budget bill slashes Medicaid. Period.
You don’t have to take my word for it. Listen to Republican senators like Susan Collins, Josh Hawley, and Thom Tillis.
Democrats are serious about setting you up for success at the American dream for you and your family if you work hard.
Republicans are fighting to take away your health care, make you sicker, hungrier, poorer, and using those taxpayer funds to pay for billionaire tax cuts.
Some examples:
Rep. Greg Steube introduced legislation to rename the metro in Washington DC the "Trump Train."
Senator Bernie Moreno wants to award Trump the Nobel Peace Prize for bombing Iran.
Rep. Luna wants to carve Trump's face on Mount Rushmore.
Their signature domestic bill slashes health care, increases hunger, and lowers the income of Americans earning less than $51k per year.
It's also worth pointing out how Republicans are more interested in pleasing and showing loyalty to Trump than working on your behalf.
While Democrats fight to raise the minimum wage, expand access to health care, strengthen programs like Social Security, and so much more, what are Republicans doing?
A thread on their harm and stunts 🧵
🚨 My amendment to reaffirm that ICE cannot detain or deport US citizens just passed with bipartisan support in our debate today on the Homeland Security funding bill.
It works by prohibiting ICE from using federal funding for this illegal, outrageous purpose.
Republicans that have celebrated in the three years since the Dobbs decision aren't pro-life or thinking about children.
They're celebrating controlling women.
In the three years since the Dobbs decision, l've heard countless stories from women and their heartbreaking struggles to receive reproductive care.
Republicans think they know better than women and their doctors. They're wrong.
Stephen Miller yelled at immigration officials to ramp up deportations saying, "You guys aren't doing a good job. What do you mean you're going after criminals? Why aren't you at Home Depot?"
He also owns between $100k and $250k in shares for a company used by ICE.

*The Department of Homeland Security should not fear Constitutional oversight visits from Members of Congress
When Democrats had the opportunity to pass a reconciliation bill, we focused on supporting families and prioritizing access to affordable, high quality childcare.
Republicans? They're choosing to cut your healthcare and prioritize tax cuts for billionaires.
