I met w/ #CalexicoCA leadership to discuss initiatives for Calexico transportation & infrastructure. We discussed the need for improvements at the Calexico Int'l Airport & Travel Corridor. Updating the DeAnza Bridge and expanding runways at the airport will attract new businesses to the region.

Instead of the partisan Republican funding bill, House Democrats and I are committed to a four-week clean funding extension that prevents harmful cuts, keeps the government running, and paves the way for a bipartisan funding deal. I’m ready to vote whenever needed to get it done.
Congressman Raul Ruiz, MD@repraulruizmd.bsky.socialMar 11(source)
I just voted no on the extreme Republican funding bill. It’s bad for veterans, seniors, children, people with disabilities, and families. Most troubling of all, this bill does nothing to protect Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid. Here’s my breakdown: straight from the 99-page bill itself. ⬇️

Today, the Dow Jones fell by 900 points, and the Nasdaq had its worst day since 2022 as fears of a potential recession grow. The stock market has taken a turn for the worse since Trump got elected. www.cnbc.com/2025/03/09/s...
Dow tumbles nearly 900 points, Nasdaq suffers worst day since 2022 as recession fears erupt: Live updates
Stocks dropped as the selling pressures that dragged Wall Street last week persisted, while investors braced for a slew of economic data reports this week.

As a dad, there’s nothing quite like the moment your little ones enter the world. Watching Jackie & Shadow’s eaglets hatch reminds me of the love & responsibility that comes w/ fatherhood. Much respect to bald eagle mama Jackie, my own nest’s eagle mama Monica, and all the eagle moms out there!

Famous bald eagle mates Jackie and Shadow watched closely as their first chicks began to hatch Monday in Big Bear Valley, California, after nearly three years without successful hatching.

Trump and House Republicans must hear loud & clear about the consequences of cutting Medicaid for hardworking Americans. That’s why I told the stories of how Medicaid cuts will hurt my constituents like John from Bermuda Dunes, all to hand out billions of dollars in tax breaks to billionaires.
Congressman Raul Ruiz, MD@repraulruizmd.bsky.socialMar 7(source)
Here, I’ll start! ✅ Let’s streamline applications for all need based services. ✅ End redundancies in small businesses permitting processes. ✅ Reduce unnecessary same-day duplicate expensive medical imaging and tests like MRI’s. Read more here: www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...
Judge Blocks Trump Administration’s Funding Freeze Indefinitely
The ruling found the move to cut off appropriated funds to state governments “fundamentally undermines” democracy.
Congressman Raul Ruiz, MD@repraulruizmd.bsky.socialMar 7(source)
I agree with this judge’s ruling and interpretation of the constitution. Finding government efficiencies and going after fraud and waste is a good thing and so is protecting and following the constitution. There is a legal, constitutional way of doing it: through Congress.
Congressman Raul Ruiz, MD@repraulruizmd.bsky.socialMar 7(source)
One last thing before my flight: Secretary Doug Collin’s decision to fire 80,000 VA employees will have devastating consequences. 
- Veterans' burn pits & disability claims will take longer to process. - The claims & appeals backlog will grow. - Health center appointments will be harder to get.
Congressman Raul Ruiz, MD@repraulruizmd.bsky.socialMar 5(source)
Veterans need their benefits applications processed promptly, their questions answered, their health screenings, and their health services. These massive layoffs will delay their services. Read more here: www.military.com/daily-news/2...
83,000 VA Employees Slated to Be Fired This Year by Musk's DOGE, Memo Says
If implemented, the layoffs would bring the department down to the level of employees it had before the PACT Act, the wide-ranging 2022 law that expanded VA health care and benefits for millions of ve...

The U.S. Department of #VeteranAffairs plans to fire more than 80,000 employees, 20,000 of whom are veterans. This keeps getting worse and worse. Secretary Doug Collins, you owe the veterans I serve an explanation on how their health and benefits will be better after gutting the VA.

Your advocacy is making a difference. Because of the outrage and calls from veterans, their families, and citizens across the country to VA Secretary Doug Collins, the VA backed off cuts to crucial programs that directly serve our veterans. Keep speaking out. Keep holding them accountable.
Congressman Raul Ruiz, MD@repraulruizmd.bsky.socialMar 5(source)
Lies, lies, & more lies. Here’s the truth: Trump’s policies are making your life more expensive with rising inflation and cuts to programs like Medicaid, all to fund tax breaks for billionaires.
 In his nearly 2 hour speech, Trump spent less than 2 mins on lowering your costs. He just doesn’t care.
Congressman Raul Ruiz, MD@repraulruizmd.bsky.socialMar 5(source)
Hey Bobby, how many times must we debunk the vaccine-autism myth? It’s not only wrong, but it’s hurtful to all the individuals with autism and their family members who are looking for real answers. Trump and his cabinet of cronies don’t care. #JointAddress
Congressman Raul Ruiz, MD@repraulruizmd.bsky.socialMar 5(source)
Trump “respects” law enforcement officers so much that he pardoned 1500+ people charged w/ assaulting Capitol police officers on the first day of his second term. Some of them attacked police officers again. Actions > louder than words. He just doesn’t care. #JointAddress
Congressman Raul Ruiz, MD@repraulruizmd.bsky.socialMar 5(source)
Trump wants to get rid of the #CHIPSAct? All this will do is guarantee America loses its technological advantage and long-term competitiveness in AI. America First? This is Trump again putting China First. He just doesn’t care. #JointAddress
Congressman Raul Ruiz, MD@repraulruizmd.bsky.socialMar 5(source)
Trump and Extreme House Republicans passed a budget framework that will dramatically increase the federal deficit and debt, all while giving billions in tax giveaways to billionaires at the expense of Medicaid. He just doesn’t care. #JointAddress
