For 60 years, Medicaid and Medicare have been vital lifelines to help Americans in every zip code access high-quality, affordable health care.

However, Trump’s Big Ugly Bill will cause more than 15 million people to lose their health care and make health care costs skyrocket for millions more.

HISTORIC MOVE: CHC Members are suing DHSβ€”the first-ever lawsuit from Members of Congress against the Trump administration this Congress.

Why? Because obstruction of oversight, mass detention, and abuse of power cannot go unchecked.

A news graphic styled after The Hill, with a torn-paper headline reading: β€œHOUSE GOP MEGABILL FUELS DEBT FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS” in large red text. Beneath it, in black, it says β€œBY MIRIAM WALDVOGEL - 7/10/2025.” The background is dark blue with a faded image of the U.S. Capitol dome. On the right side, there is a black-and-white photo of Speaker Mike Johnson looking distraught because he betrayed the American people.

Unsurprisingly, many economists are predicting the Big Ugly Bill to be a disaster for future generations.

We have a responsibility to leave the world better than we found it, but thanks to Republicans in Congress, that seems to be improbable.

Donald Trump’s One Big Ugly Bill:

❌ 17M lose health care
❌ Families go hungry
❌ Costs go UP for everyone
βœ… Billionaires get tax breaks

Why would anyone vote for this?

The Court’s move to restrict nationwide injunctions is just the latest step toward authoritarianism. The Supreme Court should be the last line of defense for our democracy, not a tool to erode it.

Through his takeover of the Supreme Court, Donald Trump is dismantling the Constitution’s protections one decision at a time.

The FY26 Legislative Branch bill ignores the growing need for additional member security.

After recent targeted violence against Minnesota state officials and others, I’m hopeful we can find bipartisan consensus to better protect Members and staff.

It’s as simple as that.

Three years ago, it was signed into law that the plaque honoring the officers of January 6th would be placed in the Capitol. For some reason, Speaker Johnson refuses to comply with the law.

Today marks three years since #SCOTUS overturned #RoevWade, stripping a constitutional right from the people.

As the consequences of that decision continue to grow, and the House GOP assaults on reproductive freedom keep coming, I'm proud to fight for your rights.

The Trump Administration and Congressional Republicans are working day and night to rip away healthcare from nearly 400,000 NY-13 residents.

While everyday New Yorkers stress about losing their healthcare, Republicans are lining the pockets of their billionaire buddies.

I am praying for Minnesota Senator John Hoffman, State Rep. Melissa Hortman, and their spouses following last night’s targeted attacks.

We condemn this violence and urge anyone with information to come forward to lead to the swift arrest and apprehension of those responsible.

The Trump Administration is breaking the law and has no inherent authority to unilaterally freeze appropriations – never has – and every day of Trump’s funding freeze is an unlawful attack on the resources Americans were promised and rely on.
