In just six days the government is set to shut down. And let’s be clear, this chaos is the Republicans’ fault. They would rather cater to the Felon in the White House than do their jobs and keep the government running. Working families pay the price.
Republicans control the House, Senate and White House. If the government shuts down because they refuse to pass a bipartisan spending bill, it will be on Republicans.
The Trump administration is tearing down protections for immigrants, dismantling Temporary Protected Status and parole programs that keep families safe I joined @ramirez.house.gov to demand Congress pass the American Dream & Promise Act and give Dreamers and long-time residents a path to citizenship
🚨 Women’s safety must be a priority. I am leading a @demwomencaucus.bsky.social letter urging ICE to require agents to visibly and clearly identify themselves during immigration enforcement and hold impersonators fully accountable. ⬇️
DWC Members sent a letter calling out recent cases of people impersonating ICE to abuse women. We demand DHS and ICE wear visible identification to stop enabling impersonators. Women deserve to be safe. We’ll keep fighting.
Today, that legacy is still under threat in Texas, where Republicans are redrawing the maps mid-decade to protect their power, not the people. The struggle did not end in 1965. It is happening now, and the fight is far from over.
🗳️ On the 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, we honor those who fought to bring democracy closer to all of us, especially historically underrepresented communities long shut out of power.
🚨 Republicans are illegally blocking $612 MILLION in approved funds from reaching schools in Texas. This is a huge blow to working families who depend on specialized learning courses & counseling to help their children succeed. @democrats-appropriations.house.gov
I’ll be attending Saturday’s public hearing on redistricting to Texas’s congressional map. 📅 July 26 | 🕚 11 AM 📍 University of Houston – Student Center, Houston Room (Room 220) The public is welcome to attend and speak on the record.
Trump is trying to rig the 2026 election—because he knows his ideas are losing. He’s targeting Texas because it’s a red state with leaders who’ll do his bidding. He called the Governor and said: I need five seats. This isn’t democracy. It’s a power grab by the Felon in the White House.
Just two weeks ago, Republicans and Trump blew a $4 trillion hole in the deficit while throwing millions off their health care. Now they're cutting $9 billion from Sesame Street, public radio, and foreign food assistance for people living in poverty abroad.
Republicans could learn something from the Count on Sesame Street. $9 billion in funding cuts mean nothing when you just voted two weeks ago to drive up the deficit by $4 trillion—all to give billionaires a tax break they don't need. The numbers just don't add up. This is fiscal irresponsibility.
While kids were asleep, House Republicans gutted PBS and global food aid for the first time in decades—just to please the Felon in the White House. I stand with the children, not Trump. I voted NO.
Five years after his passing, we honor John Lewis by continuing his fight. As Trump and Abbott try to rig Texas’s congressional maps, we make #GoodTrouble—just like he taught us. Voting rights. Fair maps. Real representation. The fight isn’t over.
