Last week marked 100 days of the Trump Administration as House Republicans began fleshing out how they would cut the $1.5 trillion mandated by the budget plan they passed. They’re realizing how hard that will be without gutting programs like Medicaid and SNAP. Read more in my newsletter below ⬇️

Watch the full clip here:

Trump, asked if he has to 'uphold the Constitution,' says, 'I don't know'

Trump said on NBC News’ “Meet the Press” that he’s following lawyers’ advice as he tries to execute rapid deportations, arguing that giving immigrants due process is time-consuming.

Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govMay 5(source)

🎥 When asked if he had a responsibility to uphold the U.S. Constitution, Trump said, “I don’t know.” Trump swore an oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution. All of it. The 5th Amendment says NO PERSON shall be denied life, liberty or property without due process of law.

The CDC recently reported that after two years of decline, more women in the U.S. died of childbirth last year. Read more about the latest maternal mortality data released by the CDC:

US maternal death rate rose slightly last year, health officials say | CNN

More U.S. women died around the time of childbirth last year, reversing two years of decline, according to provisional data posted Wednesday.

Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govMay 4(source)

The maternal mortality crisis is real and getting worse. But the Trump Administration fired the team that collects/analyzes maternal death data that serves as an invaluable asset for researchers. As an @energycommerce.bsky.social member, I tried to reverse these cuts. Republicans voted no.

The Trump Administration claims its “mass deportation” focuses on undocumented immigrants who commit crimes. This is not true. Trump deported U.S. citizens with no hearing — including children under the age of 10. He ignored multiple court orders in the process. This is unAmerican and dangerous.

Here are the U.S. citizens caught in Trump’s immigration crackdown

Over a dozen U.S. citizens have been swept up in the Trump administration’s crackdown on immigration, according to interviews, court records and news reports.

This year’s theme for #WorldPressFreedomDay focuses on the challenges of preserving freedoms of the press and expression in the midst of the explosive growth of AI. As an @energycommerce.bsky.social member, I’m focused on harnessing the power of AI as a tool to enhance our First Amendment freedoms.

My statement on the shuttering of the Georgia-Pacific Emporia plant due to the current economic downturn.

Statement graphic. Text reads, “Today, 554 employees went to work at the Georgia-Pacific Emporia Plywood mill only to receive word that they are laid off, some effective immediately. Georgia-Pacific’s decision to close its Emporia facility by July 1st leaves these workers, their families, and the community devastated, their futures uncertain.

“My heart goes out to every family who now faces increased anxiety and potential hardship because of these layoffs, and I encourage impacted families to reach out to my office for help navigating resources they may need during this time. My office remains in contact with Georgia-Pacific and local officials to ensure the impacted employees receive access to job placement resources and support agencies.”

Next week, the House returns to session as Republicans continue efforts to cut popular programs and services supported by millions of Americans.

The House was back in session this week as we marked 100 days of the Trump Administration, the Congressional Black Caucus closed out National Minority Health Month, Energy & Commerce considered several health care bills, one of my bills advanced out of committee, and more.

Our nation is at a crossroads — and it’s up to us to determine whether our 250th anniversary will be a celebration… or a wake. I spoke with @rvamag.bsky.social about where our nation stands, where we go from here, and how the current moment stress-tests the ideals upon which America was founded.

Graphic. Background is photo of Rep. McClellan speaking at a podium. Text reads, “What gives me hope — even though I’m fighting the same fights that my parents, grandparents, and great grandparents fought — is that I’m doing it from a position of more strength and power than they ever dreamed of.

“I think that’s true of every American right now. Compared to where we were in the 1880s, and even in the 1960s, people understand their power. But sometimes we have to remind them.”

Logos of RVA Mag and Rep. McClellan are present at the bottom center of the page.

Learn more about what Trump’s actions to eliminate federal funding for public TV/radio means for @vpm.org, you, and our democracy:

How federal funding for public media works – and why it’s essential to VPM

Discover how CPB’s federal appropriation (just $1.60 per American) underpins VPM’s $20 M budget—powering local news, education, and emergency alerts.

Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govMay 2(source)

VPM connects nearly 2 million people across Central Virginia and the Shenandoah Valley to coverage of government meetings, PBS/NPR shows, educational programming, emergency alerts and more. With the loss of federal funding, these stations will have to slash programming — if they can even survive.

Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govMay 2(source)

Trump’s latest unconstitutional attack on free speech/press will hit local PBS/NPR stations like @vpm.org hard. What does that mean for you?
