Electricity prices are skyrocketing and MAGA extremists are taking away healthcare from millions. You deserve better.
The Trump administration canceled the Secret Service protection for Vice President Kamala Harris. Why would they do such a reckless thing? Republicans are psychotically consumed by revenge. These extremists are unfit to govern and dangerous to the American way of life.
The shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis is horrifying. Praying for the children, families and first responders during this moment of terror and unimaginable grief. Weapons of war have no place in our neighborhoods, streets or schools.
Statement on Donald Trump’s baseless attack on Dr. Lisa Cook.
House Democrats will always stand with organized labor.
We will not let corrupt Republicans gerrymander the congressional map. And rig the midterm elections. Stop. The. Steal.
Texas Republicans passed their extremely partisan gerrymandered map in the dead of night. Why? That’s when spineless thieves operate.
Electricity bills are skyrocketing throughout the country. Donald Trump and House Republicans haven’t lowered costs, they are raising them. You deserve better.
The racially gerrymandered Texas map is a clear violation of the Fourteenth Amendment. And the 1965 Voting Rights Act. This corrupt power grab by desperate Republican hacks will be fought in the legislature and in federal court. Until victory is won.
Oak Flat is a sacred site to nine Indigenous tribes including the San Carlos and Mescalero Apache Nations. The Trump Admin wants to hand it over to a major foreign-owned mining company that would destroy it forever. Stand with our Indigenous nations and say NO. #SaveOakFlat
The cost of living in America under reckless Republican policies is way too high. You deserve better.
Stand with Ukraine. 🇺🇸🇺🇦
Donald Trump promised to end the war in Ukraine on day one. Instead. He pardoned hundreds of violent felons who brutally beat police officers while attacking the Capitol.
Social Security was born 90 years ago today. We are fighting to protect and strengthen it. Republican extremists are trying to rip your earned benefits away.
I am prepared to meet with President Trump upon his return from Russia. There are several issues to discuss, including the Republican failure to lower the high cost of living and their devastating cuts to healthcare. Let’s get at it.
The crime scene in D.C. most damaging to everyday Americans is at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
Violent crime in Washington, D.C. is at a thirty-year low. Donald Trump has no basis to take over the local police department. And zero credibility on the issue of law and order. Get lost.
Democrats are pushing back hard against the Republican gerrymandering scheme. Why? To stop Trump from stealing the election.
Donald Trump and House Republicans are wrecking the economy. That’s the reason the extremists are trying to rig the midterm elections. Complete phonies.
Donald Trump and House Republicans have broken our healthcare system. You deserve better.
Ken Paxton is the most corrupt Attorney General in Texas history. This malignant clown was impeached by his own party. He has ZERO credibility on issues of law and order. Pipe down.
Donald Trump’s tariffs are raising prices. The extremists promised to lower costs. Instead. Republican policies are making your life more expensive.
The Voting Rights Act was signed into law 60 years ago today. Republican extremists are determined to turn back the clock. We will never let that happen.
Texas Democrats have courageously refused to rubber stamp Donald Trump’s viciously gerrymandered congressional map. Republicans are threatening to arrest and prosecute them in response. We won’t bend the knee to the malignant extremists.
My statement in support of the principled opposition by Democrats in the Texas state legislature.
Texas Democrats are refusing to vote on the highly partisan and gerrymandered congressional map. They have walked out with righteous indignation. Stand with them in the battle to stop Trump from rigging the midterm elections.
Donald Trump and House Republicans promised to lower costs. Instead they are making your life more expensive. These extremists are all phonies.
House Republicans are targeting communities of color in Texas in order to rig the midterm elections.
Job creation is down, unemployment is up and Republicans haven’t done a damn thing about inflation. Donald Trump and the extremists are driving the country into a recession.
Democrats will never bend the knee to a wannabe king.
Extreme MAGA Republicans have been ordered by the cult leader to gerrymander the Texas congressional map. These corrupt sycophants cannot win a free and fair election. So they are trying to steal it.
Statement on the Mass Shooting in Midtown Manhattan.
Deeply disturbed by the horrific shooting in Midtown Manhattan. Praying hard for the brave NYPD officer impacted and all other victims of this tragedy. May God watch over our city during this challenging moment.
Republicans should be providing relief to families whose lives have been devastated by historic flooding. Instead they are trying to rig the election by gerrymandering the Texas congressional map. These extremists are unfit to govern.
Donald Trump is deeply unpopular. The one big ugly bill rips away healthcare from everyday Americans. And House Republicans haven’t done a damn thing to lower the high cost of living. How is that golden age thing working out for our country?
Republicans promised to lower the high cost of living, end the war in Ukraine and release the Epstein files. Why has none of this happened? The extremists have been too busy protecting the lifestyles of the rich and shameless.
Donald Trump’s One Big Ugly Bill will leave millions of Americans broke, hungry and sick. Shame on House Republicans for always bending the knee to the PuppetMaster-in-Chief’s extreme agenda.
Justice for Breonna Taylor.
House Democrats are focused on fixing a broken system to make life more affordable for everyday Americans. The one big ugly bill instead prioritizes massive tax breaks for billionaires. Shame on these extremists.
Thank you Stephen Colbert for your willingness to speak truth to power. Staying far from timid. And never bending the knee to a wannabe king.
House Republicans continue to robotically rubber stamp the extreme and unpopular Trump agenda. Meanwhile. Every single House Democrat strongly opposed the reckless Republican rescissions bill. We remain unified in defending the American people. Extremists are doing the exact opposite.
Republicans are driving the economy off a cliff. There is a better way. House Democrats are fighting for an America where everyone who works hard and plays by the rules can afford to live the good life.
More than 210 House Republicans voted to block the release of the Epstein files. What are these people hiding?
My statement on the tragic killing of Sayfollah Musallet.
What are Donald Trump and Pam Bondi hiding? House Democrats will do all we can to deliver the truth to the American people.
Kristi Noem and the Trump administration have broken FEMA. The President claims she is doing a great job. This lie will cost American lives.
Innocent children drowned to death in the Texas Hill Country. The federal and state government failed them. What are Donald Trump, Governor Abbott and House Republicans doing about it? They are focused on gerrymandering the Texas congressional map and rigging the election.
Our statement in connection with Randy Fine’s Islamophobic attack on Congresswoman Ilhan Omar.
Unmask ICE.
Everyone deserves to retire with grace and dignity. Hands off Social Security and Medicare.
Republicans spent months threatening to condition disaster assistance to devastated communities. That behavior was disgraceful. Our job is to help everyone in need.
What does the scripture teach us about caring for the poor, the sick and the afflicted? Matthew 25:35
Republicans are celebrating after they gutted healthcare in their deeply unpopular bill. The American people will remember the cruelty of it all next November. Press on.
Happy Birthday America 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 We will not rest until we take our country back from those who are trying to wreck it.
Good Trouble 🇺🇸
Every single House Democrat will stand up for the American people. We just need four Republicans to join us.
People will die because of the all-out Republican assault on healthcare in America. The House Floor is now a crime scene.
Just took to the House Floor to speak in support of a country where everyone can afford to live the good life. And in strong opposition to Trump’s One Big Ugly Bill that is devastating to everyday Americans. We will not be silenced. www.youtube.com/live/3pbFrch...
House Republicans are once again trying to pass their dangerous budget in the middle of the night. We will keep the pressure on. And continue to do all we can to stop these extremists from gutting your healthcare.
Democrats remain united in our strong opposition to the dangerous GOP budget. There are 220 Republicans in the House. All we need are 4 to join us and we can kill the One Big Ugly Bill.
Every single House Democrat will vote no on Trump’s One Big Ugly Bill. Keep the pressure on.
Senate Republicans just passed Trump’s One Big Ugly Bill. The extreme GOP budget hurts everyday Americans and rewards their billionaire donors. House Democrats will fight on with every righteous tool we have available.
It’s disgusting that Republicans are trying to jam the largest cut to Medicaid in history down the throats of the American people.
Praying hard for those injured at events surrounding NYC Pride yesterday. Pride is a time of celebration for the LGBTQ community. Violence is not acceptable. The perpetrators must be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
Republicans are jamming an insane and destructive bill down the throats of the American people in the dead of night. It’s the largest cut to Medicaid in American history. The massive tax breaks for billionaires will add trillions to our national debt. Keep the pressure on.
Trump’s One Big Ugly Bill will destroy Medicaid as we know it. And rip food out of the mouths of children. House Democrats remain strongly opposed.
We will never surrender in the battle to protect birthright citizenship.
Extreme MAGA Republicans tried to sneak a backdoor abortion ban into the one big ugly bill. Leader Schumer and Senate Democrats just stopped them! Keep. The. Pressure. On.
The American people strongly disapprove of the GOP’s one big ugly bill. It turns out that ripping healthcare away from millions of Americans is not that popular. #ProtectOurCare
The cost of living is way too high. It’s time to build an affordable economy where everyday Americans can live the good life. Not just a dream. A reality.
Donald Trump and House Republicans promised to make your life more affordable. They haven’t done a damn thing to make that happen.
Trump told the American people that Iran’s nuclear program had been completely and totally obliterated. No such evidence has been presented to Congress.
The only thing House Republicans can be relied upon to do is consistently rubber stamp Donald Trump’s extreme agenda.
My statement on Donald Trump’s unilateral military action in Iran.
The GOP Tax Scam guts Medicaid and will close hospitals throughout America. Why? So Republicans can reward their billionaire donors with massive tax breaks. #SaveOurHospitals
We will never let the extremists cancel our history.
My statement on the unjustified arrest of NYC Comptroller Brad Lander by the Trump administration.
Republicans are determined to crush Medicaid. Hospitals will close, including in rural America. The extremists don’t give a damn.
Thankful that heroic law enforcement officers have apprehended the suspected assassin in Minnesota. Vance Boelter has been charged with second degree murder and other offenses under state law. We need leadership moving forward that brings the country together.
Happy Father’s Day!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Kings went out of style in the United States of America in 1776. The people will peacefully make sure that never changes.
The culture of violence that has been created by political extremists in this country must end.
My statement on the tragic and targeted attack on Minnesota elected officials.
The targeted shootings of Minnesota Senator John Hoffman and State Rep. Melissa Hortman are deeply disturbing. Violence is never acceptable. Praying hard for the victims and all who have been affected.
A federal judge has ruled that Donald Trump illegally commandeered the California National Guard. Control must now be returned to Governor Newsom by tomorrow at Noon. There are no Kings in the United States of America.
Senator Alex Padilla is a good man and principled public servant. The brazen and aggressive manhandling of Senator Padilla by the Trump administration is a sickening disgrace. Anyone who assaulted the Senator should be held accountable. No one is above the law.
The GOP Tax Scam will rip healthcare away from 16 million everyday Americans in order to reward their billionaire donors. There are 53 Republicans in the Senate. We only need four to join us and we can stop the one big ugly bill from ever becoming law.
Donald Trump incited a violent mob to attack the Capitol. Hundreds of dangerous felons who brutally beat police officers with impunity were then pardoned by the President on his first day in office. Don’t ever lecture America about law and order.
The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle. Don't give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.
My statement on the arrest of California SEIU President David Huerta.
This week in DC brought us one, big nasty fight between Trump and Musk. Our focus must remain on killing the GOP Tax Scam which is one, big ugly bill designed to hurt everyday Americans.
The war between Trump and Musk has House Republicans shook right now.
The GOP Tax Scam rips healthcare away from millions of everyday Americans. Yes, that’s a disgusting abomination.
The GOP Tax Scam is a disgusting abomination. Truer words have never been spoken.
Trump is attacking the federalist society, Musk is attacking the big ugly bill and Congressional Republicans are attacking each other. House Democrats are fighting for you. The extremists are fighting each other.
The Trump tariffs are raising costs on everyday Americans and driving the economy toward a recession. The Court of International Trade has now correctly concluded he doesn’t even have the legal authority to impose them. Enough.
Vladimir Putin is a sworn enemy of the United States. Appeasement was never going to work. Why is that so difficult to understand?
Rep. Charlie Rangel was a phenomenal patriot, hero, statesman, leader, trailblazer, change agent & champion for justice. The Lion of Lenox Ave was a transformational force of nature. Harlem, NYC & America are better today because of his service. May he forever rest in power.
Donald Trump and House Republicans are crashing the economy. Costs are up, the stock market is down and America’s credit rating has been downgraded. Is another Republican Recession next?
Every single House Democrat voted to protect the healthcare of the American people after back to back all night sessions. The battle is not over. We are just getting started.
