I just voted NO on Donald Trump's "Big Ugly Bill.". I voted NO to removing health care from 17 million people. I voted NO to reducing food assistance to 40 million Americans. I voted NO on this dangerous bill that will endanger the lives of millions of people. This is NOT what.

Congratulations @RepJeffries for breaking the record for the longest floor speech in the House. I am proud to stand with him. House Democrats will never stop fighting to protect health care, food assistance, and dignity for every American. I’m voting NO.
Every single House Democrat will stand up for the American people. We just need four Republicans to join us.

Another vote while the American people sleep…why do Extreme MAGA Republicans want to hide their votes from the American people? What exactly changed between when we left and now that changes these members’ minds? The American people deserve to know! We will continue this fight!.

You know a bill is bad when it can’t pass without threats or backroom deals. If it were worth supporting, you wouldn’t have to twist arms.

We celebrate 61 years since President Lyndon B. Johnson made history on July 2, 1964, by signing the Civil Rights Act into law. This landmark legislation dismantled segregation and banned discrimination based on race, color, religion, and sex — but the work is not done. We

JOHNSON says he will keep the rule vote, which is 207-216, open as long as it takes to get the majority. he is 10 short right now.

At this point, this is not a legislative debate, it is a hostage situation. Republican's have held the United States of America HOSTAGE for 352 minutes and 29 seconds to force through the President's #BigUglyBill . that's how much they want to take healthcare away for you!.

The irony is not lost on me that on the anniversary of the signing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Republicans are working late into the night to dismantle the very progress it secured. On this day, when we should be honoring those who marched, bled, and died for equality, we.
ON THIS DAY: In 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed into law a sweeping civil rights bill passed by Congress prohibiting discrimination and segregation based on race, color, sex, religion or national origin.

Trump is at the White House trying to sweet talk Republicans into backing a disastrous budget bill that would hurt millions and reward the ultra-wealthy. We only need 4 Republicans to put the people first and vote NO.

This morning I’m back in D.C. to vote NO on this disastrous bill. If passed, this bill would:. - Strip health care from 17 million Americans.- Slash food assistance for 40 million people.- Add $4 trillion to the national debt.- Close hundreds of hospitals.- Shut down 1 in 4.
