We just finished opening comments on the bill. Again and again, Republicans show the American people are not their priority. Their proposed spending would threaten our national security, make families less safe, harm our competitiveness, and threaten women's health and safety.
The Republican-proposed Commerce, Justice, and Science spending plan for 2026 defunds law enforcement and includes cuts that will leave American families to pay the price. Join me as I fight back alongside my @democrats-appropriations.house.gov colleagues:
The Labor, Health, and Human Services funding bill proposed by the Republicans does nothing to help American families pay their bills, put food on the table, or afford healthcare.
Today's mark up showed how Republicans are in lock-step with the draconian cuts being pursued by the Trump administration. House Democrats are going to keep fighting for the American people and the resources that support them.
My amendment would restore funding for this critical program, and I'll keep working to ensure support for the CCAMPIS program is included in the funding bill.
1 in 5 college students in America is also a parent. For them, childcare is not a convenience, it's a lifeline that determines whether they can stay in school. The Child Care Access Means Parents in School Program helps low-income students access before-and after-school programs.
Rep. Underwood's amendment would restore funding to the title 8 nursing workforce development program which this bill plans to cut by 15%. The Republican majority did not allow this amendment to pass.
Investing in the education and retention of our nursing workforce is a critical way to tackle the nursing shortage we're facing across the country.
We're about half way through the amendment process for the Labor, Health, and Human Services funding bill.   One thing is very clear: we don't have partners in a bipartisan way in the fight to help middle class families.
This funding bill slashes $1.4 billion from federal student aid programs that help kids pay for college. The dream of pursuing a higher education and a better life has drifted out of reach for too many students.
We're finally making progress on the opioid epidemic in America, now is not the time to decrease funding to SAMHSA. I voted in support of Rep. Dean's amendment to restore funding for homelessness prevention programs and treatment systems at SAMHSA.
I supported an amendment that would create a full analysis of the impacts—because the American people deserve to know what it means for the health of our people and economy.
Thanks to Republicans cuts to healthcare, insurance companies are warning families they may face unaffordable premium increases if enhanced premium tax credits expire.
Republicans just voted against an amendment that caps repayment at 10% of a senior's check instead allowing seniors to be punished into poverty for a mistake they didn't make.
When a senior receives a Social Security overpayment through no fault of their own, they shouldn't be left destitute while that money is recovered.
Republicans continue to impose their extreme ideology on women and take away healthcare decisions that should be between a patient and their doctor. Rep Lois Frankel's amendment would stop the anti-healthcare provisions of this bill, but Republicans refused to support it.
Keeping older Americans fed must be a priority. Meals on Wheels not only keeps seniors fed, but provides a point of contact for people who may be otherwise isolated. Republicans just abandoned our seniors and voted against an amendment to support this critical program.
This bill includes $2 billion in devastating cuts to HIV prevention, treatment and research programs. This is 25% of the entire budget. I voted in support of Rep. Mark Pocan's amendment to restore funding for these essential programs.
As the top Democrat on the Committee on House Administration, I’m focused on making sure every eligible American can vote safely and securely. Power belongs to our citizens—we should be expanding access, not taking it away.
