Thank you to the U.S. Coast Guard, @ilwulongshore, @PortofLA, and the partners involved in the continued response to the container ship fire that started last Friday. Earlier today, the men and women of the ILWU secured all the containers on board the vessel. The U.S. Coast

Trump & Stephen Miller’s ICE continues to rip immigrant families apart, terrorize our communities, and detain US citizens. They stop, arrest, and detain people because of how they look or the language they speak. It’s un-American. @HouseDemocrats continue to fight back and when

Q: How do Mike Johnson and House Republicans say Happy Thanksgiving to millions of Americans? A: … by having you worry about how you’re going to pay for your health care premium increases this holiday season.
SCOOP: Speaker Mike Johnson recently cautioned the White House that most House Republicans don’t have an appetite for extending enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies. The message from Johnson, in a phone call with administration officials, came as President Trump’s advisers

Trump continues to weaponize the DOJ and FBI to threaten Democrats in Congress who spoke about the oath our service members take to defend the Constitution. We won’t bend the knee to a bully and a tyrant. No President should try to silence elected officials as they exercise

We stand with @SenMarkKelly, a man whose record of service and sacrifice to this country speaks for itself. He is a man who honors the Constitution and his oath to serve the people.
When I was 22 years old, I commissioned as an Ensign in the United States Navy and swore an oath to the Constitution. I upheld that oath through flight school, multiple deployments on the USS Midway, 39 combat missions in Operation Desert Storm, test pilot school, four space

Let’s ask Republicans what they’ve done to help hardworking Americans. (Hint: Not a damn thing).

Congress is losing a huge champion in La Luchadora when she retires next year. A friend, colleague, and champion for the people of NYC, Latinos everywhere, small businesses, and her native Puerto Rico, Nydia Velasquez is the real deal. Rep. @NydiaVelazquez has broken glass
Serving the people of New York City for over three decades has been the honor of my life. Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey, nothing I have accomplished would have been possible without your support.

VILE AND DISGUSTING. No President should threaten death against Americans who remind the military and intelligence services of their responsibility to follow the Constitution. Trump needs to take down those posts STAT and House Republicans must condemn Trump for his dangerous,

House Republicans all KNEW, when they blindly voted for a bill that failed to protect health care for millions of Americans, that they were also voting to line the pockets of 8 Republican Senators. They could have stripped it out then — they didn’t. This corrupt money grab
House lawmakers are moving quickly to repeal a provision that allows senators to sue for $500,000 over phone record seizures. It's unclear what the Senate will do.

Building high-speed internet networks relies on the expertise of local, State, and Tribal officials, who ensure that projects are carried out safely in their communities. Yet Republicans are pushing a bill in @EnergyCommerce that would cut these officials out of the approval

Republicans have known ALL YEAR these tax credits would expire. What have they done? - Made massive cuts to Medicare and Medicaid - Took a 7-plus week vacation, did NO WORK, and shut down the government - They created this health care crisis and have NO plan to stop premiums
As the ACA tax credits look increasingly likely to lapse, there’s some frustration in the GOP that they didn’t start working on their own healthcare plan sooner. Several Rs told us they’re open to a discharge petition (but that’s tough if Senate won’t act or Trump won’t sign)

Release the Epstein files. NOW. The House passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Now the Senate needs to pass it and Trump must sign it. The survivors deserve justice and the American people deserve the truth.

Republican corruption — plain and simple. Public servants should not take millions in taxpayer dollars to line their own pockets. Republicans are more focused on paying themselves than paying for health care for the American people. @HouseDemocrats will continue to make the
