None of this changes that Medicaid portals were down, community health centers couldn’t access funding, & agencies and governments offering critical services in El Paso aren’t sure if they’ll be reimbursed. Trump is trying to eliminate jobs and cut programs to give billionaires big tax breaks.

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialJan 29(source)

Leave it to Republicans to callously, heartlessly suggest that kids who participate in free lunch programs “sponge off the government.” Republican priorities are not YOUR priorities.

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialJan 28(source)

I was joined by city and county leadership to discuss the Trump Administration’s latest scheme to cut off federal funding to vital programs in our community. Watch 👇🏽 www.facebook.com/share/v/162M...

These exceptions are incredibly important but THEY ARE NOT WRITTEN IN THE EO. The words on the page are what must be followed and you shouldn’t have to worry if you’ll receive the benefits YOU EARNED because Trump doesn’t care enough to think through the consequences.

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialJan 28(source)

My team and I have been on the phone with agencies, organizations, and local leaders all morning. Many have been completely cut off from federal money. As I continue to try to get answers, I’m calling a press conference today to explain how this could have devastating impacts for El Paso.

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

I had a conversation with @anacabrera.bsky.social this morning about why this so-called ‘immigration crackdown’ is actually political theater. Watch👇🏽 youtu.be/yiJNBZf4Bd4

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

So why are we the victims? Trump is degrading our military readiness, increasing our costs, and weakening our standing in the world. All so he can look tough. Meanwhile China and Russia are laughing, and we can expect coffee and flowers to be more expensive. All in 1 week.

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

With more unnecessary theatrics, Trump announced “emergency tariffs” to punish Colombia and Colombia retaliated. President Biden had worked to establish stability with Colombia - to help with migration and trade. That’s gone in less than a week, and other nations are watching.

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

The idea that the U.S. “restarted” deportation flights is a lie. They never stopped. Trump performatively decided to use military aircraft instead of ICE Air (3x as expensive, carrying fewer people). Mexico & Colombia have always taken deportees & said no to military aircraft.

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

While MAGA and the Trump zealots cheer on the quickly escalating trade war between the U.S. and Colombia, here’s why Americans are the real victims of all this foolishness and bluster. And how did we get here in less than one week of the new administration?🧵

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialJan 24(source)

Thank you for watching! I didn’t get to all of your questions, but I’ll be back next week to answer more!

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialJan 24(source)

What do mass deportations mean for El Paso?

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialJan 24(source)

How do you feel about Trump pardoning people from January 6?

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialJan 24(source)

Can we in San Elizario get help with funding for our residents for basic necessities like waste water?

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialJan 24(source)

You were just announced on the House Appropriations Committee. What does that mean?

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialJan 24(source)

What are your thoughts on President Trump’s executive orders?

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialJan 24(source)

Do you have an update on the Dignity Act? Have you introduced it?

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialJan 24(source)

Q&A time!!

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialJan 22(source)

As Republican attempts to strip women across the country of their reproductive rights continue, so must our efforts to protect patients and providers.

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialJan 22(source)

The Healthcare Providers Safety Act seeks to ensure personnel and facilities have sufficient resources to protect themselves in the face of unrelenting threats, violence, and harassment by extremists.
