The spending bill we’re voting on today greenlights Trump and Musk’s approach, and only creates more chaos and confusion. I’m voting no.

My @demwomencaucus.bsky.social colleagues and I are hearing from our constituents: the top women’s issue is the economy. They’re scared and frustrated with the harmful chaos created by Trump and Musk and what it means for their groceries AND their 401k. 🧵

This is not the budget of the American people. And we have been given no assurances that Musk will spend this money as Congress intends it.
Up before dawn today to fight for the American people!
As Republicans bring us closer to a shutdown, it’s important to remember one thing: we did NOT have to be here. House Republicans set this deadline, and now they are causing chaos and stripping benefits from veterans to try to meet it.
Calling all young West Michigan artists: the Congressional Art Competition is open, and Team Scholten is accepting submissions!
Can’t wait to see your creative pieces. More info here. scholten.house.gov/services/art...
My heart — and my belly — are so full. Thank you to our brothers and sisters in Christ at First Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama, the home church of Rev. Ralph Abernathy, for welcoming us to worship and learn this morning!
Telling these stories and passing them on is an essential step toward progress — we can’t move forward until we confront and reconcile with the past. I’m grateful for these brave leaders and journalists who put themselves in harm’s way to tell the stories of the movement.
We’re on our third and final day of our Civil Rights Pilgrimage here in Alabama, and I’m reflecting on the persistent commitment to justice of the civil rights leaders who came before us.
We got to revisit their work through the enduring legacy of the photos that were taking during that time. 🧵

For President Trump, the chaos seems like the point. But for West Michiganders, chaos is a huge threat to their jobs, businesses, and livelihoods.
I’m pushing back at every turn that the Trump Administration tries to make life harder for people in MI-03.
West Michigan, hearing from you is crucial to doing my job well. I’m excited to host an in-person town hall on March 27th in Grand Rapids to speak more about my work, take your questions, and hear your stories.
For more details and to RSVP, visit Scholten.house.gov/townhall. Hope to see you there.
It was so powerful and sacred to worship at Bethel Baptist Church today, a cornerstone of the Civil Rights Movement.
As the faith leaders of the Civil Rights Movement taught us, we cannot grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
As I spend my weekend in Selma & Montgomery to honor the 60th Anniversary of Bloody Sunday, I’m thinking of the power of peaceful protest in the name of justice. Our democracy only works when the people work FOR it.
I applaud the folks back home in MI-03 who are bravely standing up today to march for democracy, freedom, and the essential programs we rely on to sustain our livelihoods. 🧵
We are a nation of laws.
Our civil rights journey through Selma and Montgomery continued today by examining the role that the courts have played in both preventing and ensuring justice.
POV: You're laser-focused on fighting for American women and families.
Proud to stand alongside
@demwomencaucus.bsky.social Chair Rep. Leger Fernandez and my fellow Vice Chair Rep. Sykes in the fight.
#InternationalWomensDay
We have 8 days until a potential government shutdown. The consequences would be devastating for folks in MI-03 — Republicans must stop playing political games and fund the government before it’s too late.
It’s so powerful to march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge on the 60th Anniversary of Bloody Sunday.
To honor the legacy of the Civil Rights Movement, we must continue fighting for racial equality and justice for all.
In MI-03 earlier this week, I was proud to take part in Trojan Technologies, X-Rite, and Veralto’s opening of their FIRST U.S. water treatment facility in Grand Rapids! They’re creating good-paying jobs and improving access to clean water.
