I’m deeply saddened to hear of Rep. Grijalva’s passing. He was a champion, a strong leader and will be missed in the House. Thinking of his loved ones and the people of Arizona’s 7th.

To Senate Democrats: Donald Trump is broadcasting what he and Musk plan to do if the CR becomes law. Voting yes means giving them the authority to do it 👇🏽 www.foxnews.com/politics/sco...

SCOOP: Trump crafts plan to cut spending without Congress after shutdown is averted

President Donald Trump and his allies are already crafting a plan to make good on their promise to cut federal spending this year and plan to fast-track it.

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

We have a four-week CR that keeps our government open and allows Congress to reach a BIPARTISAN funding agreement. It’s ready to go and House Democrats will vote for it. We don’t support the Republican partisan blank check that gives Congressional authority away to Musk & Trump.

Chuck Schumer

A post from Senator Schumer reads: “Funding the government should be a bipartisan effort. But Republicans chose a partisan path, drafting their Continuing Resolution without any input from Congressional Democrats. Because of that, Republicans do not have the votes in the Senate to pass the House CR. Our caucus is unified on a clean 30-day CR that will keep the government open and give Congress time to negotiate bipartisan legislation that can pass. We should vote on that.”

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

Again - Republicans control Congress and the White House. If their appropriations bill fails, Rosa DeLauro and Patty Murray have a short-term, CLEAN CR to give us time to do the appropriations bills. Don’t be fooled by Republicans pointing fingers; they just can’t govern.

Hi there! I’ll be a guest on MSNBC’s José Díaz-Balart Reports in just a few minutes. Hope you’ll tune in!

I won’t be complicit with today’s Republican efforts to make Americans sicker, poorer, and worse-off in order to give massive tax breaks to billionaires.

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialMar 11(source)

There’s a viable alternative – I invite Republicans to join us and vote for a 30-day continuing resolution which ensures we do not have a government shutdown, and it gives appropriators the time we need to finish our work.

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialMar 11(source)

I voted against the Republican funding bill because not only does it slash programs important to seniors, families and veterans (it guts funding for the PACT Act), but it cedes Congressional authority and gives Elon Musk and Donald Trump unchecked power to continue wrecking the federal government.

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialMar 11(source)

“Absolutely not, Elon Musk” and why I’m voting against the Republican funding bill👇🏽 youtu.be/L2rT67kHbc4?...

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialMar 11(source)

In addition to slashing funding for healthcare, seniors, and veterans, every Republican that votes for their funding bill is deliberately choosing to protect Trump's tariffs. It means each one of them is choosing to make your life more expensive and keep hurting our economy.

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialMar 11(source)

Republicans control the entire government.

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialMar 11(source)

The Republican funding plan is a betrayal to Americans. It will hurt veterans, families, and seniors. If this is what they want, they should pass it with Republican votes. They control the House, the Senate, and the White House – if there is a government shutdown, it's on them.

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialMar 11(source)

prescient (adj.) - having or showing knowledge of events before they take place

Anyone else notice it's just the millionaires telling Americans to "endure the pain" Trump's disastrous economic policies are causing? Every time the stock market drops, millions of Americans see their retirement funds disappear. They don't care about you, just themselves.

Asked about the stock market tanking, Tuberville says "I don't think President Trump needs to be concerned about it. He doesn't need to look at it ... he has told me people there's gonna be a little bit of pain with this. And there is. That's fine. The stock market has gone up and down before."

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialMar 10(source)

The First Amendment doesn't only apply to those the President agrees with. Only dictators silence their dissenters this way. The arrest of Mahmoud Khalil is yet another Trump attack on the Constitution and more democratic backsliding in America. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Protests erupt after Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil taken by ICE; Trump says arrest is first of many

The Columbia University grad, who helped organize the school’s pro-Palestinian rallies, was detained Saturday night and told his student visa was being revoked, his attorney said.

Always reassuring when the man who has access to our personal, private data can’t even keep Twitter from crashing 🙃
