It's been almost 800 days since the plaque honoring the Capitol Police who defended our democracy on January 6th should have been placed. For all their chest-thumping of "Backing the Blue,” Republicans refuse to honor the same men and women who protected ALL of us on that day.

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialMay 15(source)

Our military personnel shouldn't be doing border enforcement. When our CBP personnel receive months of training but the administration is only giving soldiers hours of training, it isn't right.

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialMay 15(source)

For once, I agree with RFK Jr.

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialMay 14(source)

“Transparent” corruption is still corruption.

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialMay 14(source)

The fact is that ICE and the administration are not going after “the worst of the worst.” They’re going after students, people with legal status and no criminal records, and more. This pattern is what we see in authoritarian police states, not democratic republics.

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialMay 14(source)

When you're only surrounded and motivated by wealthy billionaires, you become so out of touch and think nobody would ever come protest against Republican cuts to their healthcare. Give me a break. You're a doctor.

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialMay 13(source)

@mmfa.bsky.social breaks it down by foreign payments and we made a helpful graph!* *This only includes the airplane gift and excludes all the other Trump corruption

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialMay 13(source)

While Fox “News” mentioned Hunter Biden over 13,000 times in 16 months, they’ve been awfully quiet when it comes to Trump’s luxury plane gifted by Qatar. Despite the cover they’re trying to give this corruption, they’re struggling with the spin. www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/fox...

Fox’s comically pathetic spin for a foreign government gifting Trump a $400 million plane

Republicans are kicking 8.6 million people off their healthcare to pay for billionaire tax cuts. Every single Republican that votes for this - especially those who said they wouldn’t cut funding for Medicaid - will be prioritizing their rich friends over your health. abcnews.go.com/Politics/wir...

House Republicans unveil Medicaid cuts

House Republicans have unveiled the cost-saving centerpiece of President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill.”

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialMay 12(source)

With news of a “temporary truce” with China on our self-imposed tariffs, we’re really getting a crash course on the “Art of the Deal.“

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialMay 8(source)

FEMA’s Acting Administrator was fired - one day after he told those of us on the Appropriations Committee that he didn’t believe the agency should be eliminated. Is that why Donald Trump and Secretary Noem fired him? Apparently, independent thoughts not allowed. abcnews.go.com/amp/Politics...

Acting FEMA head fired a day after he testified against closing the agency: Sources

Cameron Hamilton, acting FEMA administrator, fired day after telling Congress it shouldn't be disbanded, putting him at odds with Trump's suggestions to dissolve it.

In what feels like a pivotal point in history, I join millions around the world praying for our first American Pope whose emphasis of humility and peace is needed more than ever.

This week, Democrats have been fighting for a vote on legislation to protect Medicaid and food assistance programs from devastating budget cuts. Republicans instead prioritized renaming the Gulf of Mexico. We're for making your life better. They're for placating Trump.

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialMay 7(source)

I encourage my colleagues to sign on to our bill and prioritize healthcare and food assistance instead of tax breaks for their billionaire friends.

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialMay 7(source)

All it takes to end this devastation is for four Republicans to have the courage to stand up for their constituents and join the Democratic effort to protect Medicaid and SNAP.

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialMay 7(source)

The Republican budget slashes Medicaid and food assistance with more than $1 trillion in cuts. These cuts will eliminate healthcare that millions of Americans depend on and will defund vital nutrition programs that prevent hunger.

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialMay 7(source)

Yesterday, I signed the Democratic discharge petition that would force an up-or-down vote in the House to protect Medicaid and food assistance from devastating budget cuts. escobar.house.gov/news/documen...

Congresswoman Escobar Signs Democratic Discharge Petition to Prevent Cuts to Medicaid and Food Assistance

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialMay 7(source)

The Republican plan is to rip away your healthcare to pay for billionaire tax cuts.

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialMay 5(source)

As we return to Washington, Republicans are callously bickering about how many billions of dollars are "acceptable" to cut from Medicaid and trying to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico. Republicans’ idea of the people’s work. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

Trump sends a scorched-earth budget plan. GOP lawmakers hate it already.

The request for obliterating many domestic programs sets up a clash with Congress ahead of the Sept. 30 shutdown deadline.
