I am grateful to see @SecRubio call for action to cut off the supply of weapons to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), Sudan’s paramilitary. We have allowed the UAE to fund this genocide for too long and the scale of this crisis demands immediate action.

Starbucks workers deserve a fair contract, and that starts with good-faith negotiations. I’m proud to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Starbucks baristas as they fight for better wages and for their union.

The ICE raid on a Chicago apartment building that saw doors kicked in, children zip-tied, and armed agents rappelling from a helicopter? It has resulted in ZERO criminal charges.

Authorities said Tren de Aragua “terrorists” had taken over the building. A ProPublica investigation found little evidence to back up the government’s claims. For the first time, the Venezuelans...

The ongoing genocide in Sudan is the worst humanitarian crisis in recorded history. The U.S. must do more to put an end to this crisis. There are legislative solutions to block weapons sales and support peace and security that every member of Congress should sign on to.

This Republican CR does absolutely nothing to address rising health care costs — a complete betrayal of the millions of Americans whose premiums are set to double or triple next year. I voted HELL NO.

The man speaks truth here!
That does nothing to change the fact that certain senators will get paid an additional $500k of taxpayer money. The Senate will never take up your “standalone” bill. This is precisely why you shouldn’t let the Senate jam the House.

Republicans refused to even show up to work for 51 days and are now trying to pass a bill that will kick millions of Americans off of health care. It’s shameful, and I’m a HELL NO.

Speaker Johnson has kept the House out of session for 51 days. So I thought I would take the time to show my colleagues on the other side of the aisle around in case they don’t remember where to go or how things work. Hope this helps!

This will officially force a vote to release the Epstein files in the House. And Trump and Mike Johnson can't block it. The American people deserve to know the truth and the victims deserve accountability!
🚨ADELITA GRIJALVA has signed the Epstein discharge petition. It has now reached 218.

Adelita Grijalva should have been sworn in weeks ago, but Mike Johnson has refused. All to cover up for Trump and all of the other powerful people in the Epstein Files. But Mike Johnson can’t delay any longer. Welcome to Congress, Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva!

House Democrats are fighting for a discharge petition to extend the ACA tax credits for 3 years. We’re pushing to save health care for millions of Americans and stop premiums from doubling or tripling. Republicans should join us.

House Democrats are standing strong to save health care for the American people. Republicans are more than happy to throw their constituents under the bus if it means making Donald Trump happy. We’ll keep fighting for YOU.

The so-called deal to end the Republican shutdown does absolutely nothing to address the health care crisis millions of Americans are facing. I am a HELL NO.

Senate Democrats should not have caved. Americans understand that this was a Republican Shutdown and that we were fighting to protect health care for millions of working families. It was a righteous fight that we could have won, and it will continue.

Meet Ned — a constituent who volunteers at the White Center Food Bank and is a SNAP recipient. Trump is actively working to withhold SNAP funding — forcing families to food banks across the country.

The Trump Administration is doing everything in its power to block SNAP payments from families who rely on them to keep food on the table. Tax breaks for the rich, nothing for the hungry. That is Trump's playbook. https://t.co/mZ9gVEESxr

The Supreme Court on Tuesday extended a short-term order that allows the Trump administration to withhold paying for full food stamp payments in November, a move that appeared designed to put off the...

Release all the files. This is incredibly damning, and the American people deserve to know the full truth. NOW.
