This isn’t hyperbole. House Republicans TODAY are moving forward on a budget resolution that would cut TRILLIONS from vital health programs like MediCal to pay for tax breaks for their billionaire and big corporate friends. The result? 1 in every 3 Americans has their health care on the chopping block.

As the top Democrat on the Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation @TransportDems Subcommittee, I am deeply troubled by the recent flurry of executive actions targeting our dedicated servicemembers in the @USCG. I wrote an open letter to all Coasties, to show my unwavering support for them and make it clear that they deserve far better. Read my letter:

No one should have to live in fear of being separated from their loved ones while taking their kids to school, the doctor, or going to church. That's why I helped introduce legislation to restore longstanding guardrails—that Donald Trump ripped away—for our immigrant communities. ⤵️

As a Vice Chair of @NewDemCoalition, I'm working to keep Congress focused on exactly what the American people sent us here to do: lower costs & make communities safer. Even after the Majority goes home for the night, New Dems hold the floor and insist that our co-equal branch of government get back to the work of helping the American people.⬇⬇️

Donald Trump's soft spot for Vladimir Putin isn't just autocratic bromance. It is having devastating implications for the people of Ukraine. Publicly giving up on repelling Russia from Ukraine's borders is a devastating capitulation and a betrayal of America's commitment to freedom.
Breaking news: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Wednesday called Ukraine’s desire to recover all of the territory it has lost to Russia since 2014 an “unrealistic objective.”

President Musk is making good on his promise to “delete” the agency in charge of promoting fairness and transparency for mortgages, credit cards, and other consumer financial products and services. This leaves families who have been scammed by predatory financial institutions & big banks out to dry. @HouseDemocrats won’t let this stand.
Without the CFPB, giant financial institutions — like banks, mortgage lenders, credit card companies, and debt collection companies — will have an easier time picking your pocket. It’s clear who Trump and Musk serve — and it’s not you.

On top of harmful executive actions, some of President Trump's new policies are just plain ~creepy~. A new DOT memo says that grants should be allocated to areas with "high marriage and birth rates". I asked a panel of maritime witnesses about it. Watch their telling silence ⬇️
