I’m heartbroken to hear the news about my dear friend and colleague, Congressman Raúl Grijalva. A guiding light in the halls of Congress, Raúl was a steadfast champion in the fight to protect our environment and ensure all people can have access to quality, affordable health care.
JUST IN: Arizona Democratic Rep. Raúl Grijalva has died at 77 due to complications from cancer treatment. cnn.it/3Frkpvb
House Democrats stand united behind a four-week funding extension that stops harmful cuts to hardworking Americans, keeps the government open, and allows Congress to reach a bipartisan funding agreement. I'm ready to vote today, tomorrow or Friday to pass a four-week extension.
For too long, greedy oil companies have been able to take advantage of a massive loophole that allows them to avoid paying taxes on tar sands oil. I'm partnering with @markey.senate.gov to close this loophole and ensure Big Oil companies pay their fair share.
This week, I sent a letter to @FCC with 22 of my colleagues concerned about deteriorating quality of a program that helps deaf Americans make phone calls. This community deserves high quality service and ASL interpreters deserve good working conditions and competitive wages.
Trump and Republicans are working hard every day to make your children's school worse and take away your health care so they can give tax cuts to billionaires.
As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget. Really think about how twisted this all is.
The House GOP just passed a funding bill that gives President Trump and unelected billionaire Elon Musk power to steal from the middle class, seniors, veterans, working people, and small businesses to pay for billionaire tax cuts. Trump is making life harder for working people.
Good. This attempt by the Trump administration to arrest and deport a legal permanent resident over their speech is an alarming violation of immigration law and the first amendment, and will only make our Jewish communities less safe.
A federal judge in NY has blocked any effort by the Trump administration to deport Mahmoud Khalil – whose arrest and imminent deportation Trump celebrated on Turth Social today — until further proceedings play out. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Since Roe v. Wade was overturned, anti-abortion extremists have relentlessly threatened and attacked patients and health care providers—blatantly violating federal law.  Instead of prosecuting these criminals, Trump and Republicans are trying to gut this critical protection.
Today, on International Women’s Day, we celebrate the outstanding achievements of women and girls in the US and across the globe. Women of all ages, backgrounds, and nationalities are taking on leadership positions, fighting for basic human rights and equity.
How did the Trump administration mark National Consumer Protection week? They let JP Morgan Chase, Wells Fargo, and Bank of America off the hook after scamming Americans out of $1 billion. This administration cares more about feeding corporate greed than protecting consumers.
The CFPB is dropping a lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Bank of America and Zelle that accused the banks of failing to protect hundreds of thousands of consumers from rampant fraud on Zelle. apnews.com/article/cfpb...
The numbers speak for themselves - don’t be fooled by the lies! The CBO confirmed that the GOP must cut Medicaid or Medicare to reach their $2 trillion budget proposal. It's a shame that Trump & Congressional Republicans want to strip health care away from millions to pay for billionaire tax cuts.
NEW: Republicans cannot meet their own budget target without cutting Medicare or Medicaid, budget office says The math is simple 👇 House Budget requires E&C to cut spending by $880 billion. CBO says E&C oversees $581 billion outside Medicare/Medicaid. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...
The Social Security Administration is already feeling the effects of Trump and Musk's illegal and careless cuts. Working Americans pay into Social Security with every paycheck they earn – except for the ultra-wealthy, who stop paying as of today.
Meanwhile SSA staff in turmoil due to firings, resignations & retirements report a system in dissolution — increased phone wait times, canceled disability hearings, morale "in toilet" — & warn benefits may stop. W/ @reinlwapo.bsky.social @jeffstein.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Not only do public television stations like WTTW play a critical role in educating our kids, but they also connect our communities.   Local stations shine a light on the people, places, and stories that are the fabric of our neighborhoods. We must protect public broadcasting.
The rain isn’t going to stop me from rallying for what's right.   I refuse to let Trump and his billionaire sidekick Elon Musk get away with illegally firing workers. We must all come together and make our voices heard.
