The Progressive Caucus

Deputy Chair @repilhan.bsky.social : “Trump’s invasion of Venezuela is blatantly illegal and unconstitutional. He has no authority to deploy U.S. forces into foreign countries to bomb them, capture heads of state, and overthrow governments in regime-change wars.”

We now have a bipartisan majority of members of Congress demanding a vote to extend ACA tax credits and keep health care affordable for all Americans.

Speaker Johnson, bring this legislation to the House Floor immediately or step out of the way.

How the end of extra Affordable Care Act subsidies could affect you Millions of Americans will see higher premium bills when extra covid-era subsidies on health insurance marketplaces expire Jan. 1.

Congress went home without extending the Affordable Care Act tax credits.

Now, over 20 million people are going to see their health insurance costs more than double.

Everything is already expensive. Working families can’t afford this health care crisis. https://wapo.st/3L96AVy

For a GOP president—after the Iraq War—to say outright that invading Venezuela is all about oil is wild. But it is. It’s also about corruption, power, graft, and land. And we should take him at his word.

I joined @cnn.com to discuss the release of the videos of boat strikes.

This will definitely help the economy.

Today is the deadline to release the Epstein files. The DOJ is refusing to comply.

This is about justice for survivors and holding participants and co-conspirators accountable.

The Epstein Files Act is the law, not a suggestion.

Release the files. Immediately.

“The CPC will not stop fighting for affordable healthcare and more importantly, insurance that will move us away from a privatized for-profit system. The real solution to this crisis is a truly universal system, like Medicare for All, that provides healthcare as a human right.”

If Johnson could move heaven and earth to deliver tax cuts to the richest and most powerful donors to Trump and the Republican Party, he can keep the House open to protect millions of Americans’ healthcare and which now has support from the majority of Congress.”

“We demand that Speaker Johnson keep the House in session to schedule a vote to pass a clean, three-year extension of Affordable Care Act tax credits to provide ordinary Americans with the healthcare they need.”

CPC Deputy Chair @repilhan.bsky.social: "Today’s vote on House Republicans’ warmed-over partisan policies was a disgrace. It did nothing to protect the 22 million Americans who will see their monthly premiums double on average."

"If Trump continues to carry out oil-tanker seizures, impose a naval blockade and put U.S. servicemembers in harm’s way for an illegal regime-change war, he can surely expect a vote to immediately stop this disastrous conflict. The Progressive Caucus is committed to its passage."

“Nearly a quarter-century ago, the American people were misled by a lawless president promoting lies about weapons of mass destruction, all to invade an oil-rich country that posed no threat to us. Trump is pursuing the same course today in Venezuela.

CPC Deputy Chair @repilhan.bsky.social: “Tonight’s razor-thin, 211-to-213 vote on the bipartisan War Powers Resolution to end these illegal hostilities puts Trump on notice. America has no kings, and Trump has no mandate to push his unconstitutional military campaign against Venezuela."

NEW: The Progressive Caucus announces the creation of the Rebuilding and Reimagining Government Taskforce led by CPC Vice Chair @repbonnie.bsky.social to restore federal agencies gutted by Trump and also develop bold ideas to ensure that they better deliver for ordinary people.

Hanukkah is a story of resilience and hope. After the horrific attack in Australia this weekend, we need that light now more than ever. We can do better. We must do better.

Not extending ACA subsidies means millions of our people will have to choose between seeing the doctor and buying groceries or paying rent. GOP cruelty is not good for public health.

I’m saddened and shocked by the loss of Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele. Rob’s films shaped generations, and together they gave so much back to LA through their philanthropy & unwavering commitment to democracy. Our hearts are with their loved ones during this devastating time.

Horrific terrorist attack in Australia that killed at least 15 innocent people as they celebrated the first night of Hanukkah. Joy and community should never be shattered with such terror.

Many states have recognized the harm of seclusion and inappropriate restraint in the classroom and banned these practices, but this remains an issue that requires a federal solution.

Our Keeping All Students Safe Act would enact critical protections for students.

Trump’s trade war is hitting small businesses especially hard: more than 2,200 entrepreneurs and small firms have filed for bankruptcy this year, up 8% from last year,

“Trump’s economy is in free fall,” says our @alexsjacquez.bsky.social.

Chag Sameach, #MA7!

Wishing a bright first night of Hanukkah to all! May these next eight nights be filled with peace, light, & joy.

Happy first night of Hanukkah! To everyone celebrating, may the coming 8 nights bring peace, light, and countless blessings. 
 
Happy Hanukkah to you and your loved ones!

“These are illegal hostilities that could destabilize the entire region and fuel mass migration. Congress must stop this unconstitutional military campaign by passing these War Powers Resolutions.”

Deputy Chair @repilhan.bsky.social & Whip @chuygarcia.house.gov : “As Trump threatens land strikes on Venezuela, every U.S. Representative will face a simple, up-or-down choice on the House floor this week: Will you stand up for the Constitution and vote to stop Trump’s illegal warmaking or not?”

CPC Deputy Chair @repilhan.bsky.social and Whip @chuygarcia.house.gov along with the Progressive Caucus are supporting two resolutions to end Trump’s brutal military campaign in Venezuela that has killed 87 people.

Our deepest condolences go to the victims of this horrifying mass shooting at Brown University. America’s shameful cycle of gun violence needs to end. Enough is enough. Congress must pass commonsense gun safety laws NOW.

We send our solidarity and sympathy to Australia’s Jewish community after this horrific mass shooting against Hanukkah celebrators. We are more determined than ever to fight and defeat antisemitism worldwife. Our deepest condolences go to the victims and their families.

I’m keeping Brown students, faculty, staff, and families close to my heart during this horrific tragedy, so close to the holiday season.

No parent should have to fear for their kid’s safety at school — or anywhere. We cannot normalize this, and we cannot continue to do nothing.

Violence has no place in our communities — whether it happens here at home or across the world. What we saw this weekend is heartbreaking, and my thoughts are with the victims and their loved ones. (1/2)
