We ask our servicewomen to put their lives on the line to protect our country from threats across the globe — they should never have to risk their lives or their health to access abortion care here in the United States. sherrill.house.gov/media/press-...

Don’t let Republicans gaslight you - their budget cuts Medicaid.

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialFeb 27(source)

The bill would also require new reporting requirements to Congress of any veterans who have been removed from federal positions and the justification for such removal on a quarterly basis going forward. You can read my full press release here 👇🏽 escobar.house.gov/news/documen...

Congresswoman Escobar Joins Legislation to Protect Veterans after Thousands are Fired by Trump and Musk

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialFeb 27(source)

I'm proud to be an original supporter of the Protect Veteran Jobs Act, that would allow for the reinstatement of any veteran who was removed or dismissed from federal employment without cause since January 20, 2025.

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialFeb 27(source)

All veterans should be outraged by this decision that leaves thousands without a job or the means to feed their families.

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialFeb 27(source)

With over 50,000 veterans in El Paso, I’m keenly aware of the incredible sacrifices our servicemembers make for our country. It is shameful that Donald Trump and Elon Musk have indiscriminately chosen to fire almost 6,000 veterans under the guise of "government efficiency."

This week, in a stunning betrayal to Americans, House Republicans advanced a devastating budget plan, which would cut healthcare in order to provide $4.5 trillion in tax breaks that overwhelmingly go to billionaires. Let’s break it down. youtu.be/z99Q0ZxmL8U

This good boy told no lies (this time).

President Musk is leading a hot mess of a cabinet meeting right now.

Elon Musk is now presiding over the cabinet meeting. They're not beating the co-president allegations. (And co-president might be putting it charitably for Trump.)

While Donald Trump promised to lower the cost of living for Americans on day one, House Republicans just voted to increase costs and make life more difficult for hard-working Americans so they could give billionaires massive tax cuts.

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialFeb 26(source)

If those cuts weren’t bad enough, this bill explodes our national debt by $1.6 trillion. Every single Republican - except one - chose to prioritize billionaires over their communities. Read my full release here: escobar.house.gov/news/documen...

Congresswoman Escobar Votes Against Devastating Republican Budget Plan

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialFeb 26(source)

The budget plan that was voted on this evening will cut healthcare for seniors, pregnant women, Americans with disabilities, and children; it also cuts funding that helps prevent food insecurity, making life harder and more expensive for millions of our fellow citizens.

Rep. Balderson heard from constituents last week because the consequences of the Republican budget plan are devastating. There are 90k SNAP recipients and 186k Medicare enrollees in his district that risk going hungry or losing their healthcare. How will he vote? www.dispatch.com/story/news/p...

God isn’t doing this, Elon is. And Elon is no God. If he and two other Republicans joined with Democrats, we could save these people’s jobs and get to work on what the American people need - like lower costs - instead of this madness.
