I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of my friend and colleague, Raul Grijalva. We sat next to each other for many years on the Committee on Education & Workforce, and I could always rely on him for a sense of optimism and humor while in the midst of some of the toughest legislative fights.
If there is a government shutdown, it will be the responsibility of Republicans who control the White House and both chambers of Congress.
It will be a direct result of their refusal to work with Democrats on a bipartisan funding package to meet the needs of our nation.
IDEA was created because states were *NOT* providing students with disabilities an education. That is why returning "education to the states" does not work.
“State's rights” have historically been used as an excuse to deny Americans rights.
See: slavery, segregation, abortion.
House Democrats stand united for a four-week funding extension that stops harmful cuts, keeps government open, and allows Congress to reach a bipartisan funding agreement.
I am ready to vote today, tomorrow or Friday to pass a four-week extension.
If there is a lapse in government funding, it will be the responsibility of Republicans who control the White House and both chambers of Congress and it will be a direct result of their refusal to work with Democrats on a bipartisan funding package which would meet the needs of our nation.
Unfortunately, the GOP funding bill we voted on today makes devastating cuts to veterans benefits, health care & affordable housing. Instead of investing in our health & safety, it does nothing to rein in Trump and Musk’s illegal mass firing of civil servants or their dismantling of gov’t services.
I am ready to support a bipartisan appropriations package to fund the government for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2025.
This will force more dedicated civil servants with invaluable institutional knowledge out of the federal government. And they will be replaced with political appointees who answer only to Trump and Musk.
These public servants, and the students they serve, deserved better.

Elon Musk has made clear that he wants to cut Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.
The House Republican partisan funding bill utterly fails to protect these vital benefits. That's why Democrats are united to stop it.
We are going to protect Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid from Elon Musk and Donald Trump.

…larger even than current record-holder President Dwight D. Eisenhower, a moderate man but someone who believed very strongly in borders.”
President Eisenhower’s plan was called “Operation Wetback” and it rounded up over a million people, many of whom were American citizens.
