6 years ago, a racist mass shooting in El Paso stole 23 innocent lives and left a permanent scar on the Latino community and our country.

Today, we honor their memory with a renewed commitment to end America’s gun violence epidemic and root out hate in all its forms.

Today’s jobs report is a stark warning for America’s economy.

With unemployment rising and costs skyrocketing, working families across the country are left paying the price for Trump and Republicans’ reckless tariffs and economic chaos.

Now, Republicans are gutting them with their Big, Ugly Law—ripping away coverage, raising costs and leaving working families behind.

We can’t allow it to stand. Instead of agonizing, we're organizing to #CancelTheCuts and preserve these vital initiatives—for the next 60 years and beyond.

Ever since, Medicare and Medicaid have delivered the dignity and security of lifesaving health care to millions of seniors and working families.

Decades after, Democrats proudly fought to protect and strengthen these crucial lifelines with the signing of the Affordable Care Act.

60 years ago, President Johnson traveled to the Truman Library in Independence, Missouri, to sign Medicare and Medicaid into law.

With President Truman—who began the fight—at his side, our nation took a historic step toward recognizing health care as a right, not a privilege.

Donald Trump’s decision to deny permission for President Lai to visit New York sends a dangerous signal: that the United States can be bullied by Beijing into silence on Taiwan.

This is a victory for Xi — and let us hope it is not indicative of a dangerous change in U.S. policy.

The United States must urgently press for an immediate and sustained ceasefire which ensures safe delivery of life-saving assistance to Palestinians and secures the return of all hostages.

The humanitarian crisis and mass starvation in Gaza—particularly affecting children and infants—is a catastrophic moral emergency.

35 years since it was enacted, the Americans with Disabilities Act continues to stand as a beacon of progress for millions living with a disability.

Today, we honor that legacy by recommitting ourselves to defending lifelines like Medicaid that build a future accessible for all.

Today, I had the pleasure of celebrating the 8th anniversary of
@littlelobbyists.com: a powerful movement advocating for children with complex medical needs.

These kids are full of joy and they deserve a nation that fights for them.

So fight we will — For The Children.

Last night, I joined families, caregivers and advocates on the National Mall to kick off a 60-hour vigil to protest the gutting of Medicaid.

As Republicans rip health care away from millions, we’re standing together to say: we will not just “get over it!"

Release the files.

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of speaking with this summer’s Congressional interns about the importance of public service and the value of knowing your power.

Their questions were thoughtful, their passion inspiring. I told them to know their why—and I’m confident they do.

As we pursue accountability, we must respect the voices and privacy of the survivors to honor their courage, protect their dignity, and ensure that the full truth comes to light.

Justice delayed is justice denied. The American people — and the survivors — deserve better.

To block transparency is not only an abdication of duty — it is a profound insult to the victims who have carried the burden of this trauma for decades.

Americans deserve to know the full extent of who was involved with Epstein and all of them must be held accountable — no matter how powerful.

The survivors deserve answers. They deserve dignity. And they deserve action from their government.

That is why it is especially shameful that Speaker Johnson has shut down the House of Representatives for the summer to avoid a vote on this resolution.

For years, Epstein’s victims — many of them just children when they were abused — have waited for justice, often in silence and in pain.

In the face of unspeakable abuse, this resolution declares unequivocally that violence against women will not be ignored.

The crimes of Jeffrey Epstein and his enablers shattered countless lives and exposed a vast system of exploitation and violence against women and girls.

Today, I am proud to join as a cosponsor of the Epstein Files Transparency Act — a vital step toward truth and accountability.

15 years ago, Democrats proudly enacted the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act: the strongest consumer financial protections in American history.

That legacy lives on today in our fight for an economy that works for working families, not just billionaires and big corporations.

13 years ago, a horrific act of gun violence at a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado shocked the conscience of the nation.

Today, we remember the 12 innocent lives stolen and the dozens who were wounded by pledging to continue the fight to finally end gun violence in America.

The rescissions package passed by Republicans last night is an absolute shame.

They’re slashing billions from global poverty and disease relief just like they did in the 90s—handing China & Russia easy geopolitical wins.

With this bill, Republicans put every American at risk.

With deep respect for the victims, their trauma and their privacy, everyone on the Epstein list must be held accountable no matter who they are.

Release the files.

For reasons known only to him, Donald Trump is now refusing to appoint a special prosecutor in the Epstein case after weeks of refusing to release the Epstein files.

This week, House Democrats voted unanimously to release the files. Republicans voted to keep them hidden.

Should reason not prevail and Republicans bring this absurdity before the Congress, Democrats will use every parliamentary and budgetary tactic available to stop the lunacy.

It remains to be seen how this Administration could possibly afford to spend billions to convert and maintain Alcatraz as a prison when they are already adding trillions of dollars to the national debt with their sinful law.

Make no mistake: this stupidity is a diversionary tactic to draw attention away from this Administration’s cruelest actions yet in their Big, Ugly Law, which takes away food from children and rips health care from millions to give tax breaks to billionaires.

With stiff competition, the planned announcement to reopen Alcatraz as a federal penitentiary is the Trump Administration’s stupidest initiative yet.

Clearly the only intellectual resources the Administration has drawn upon for this foolish notion are decades-old fictional Hollywood movies.

Perhaps Republicans don't understand that nothing brings more money to the Treasury than the education of the American people.

Because the Trump Administration cutting education to give tax breaks to billionaires at the expense of America's future is not only wrong, it's stupid.

Trump’s senseless tariffs are making life more expensive for America's working families.

Instead of lowering costs as he promised, his reckless policies are increasing prices and devastating businesses.

Democrats are fighting back to make America more affordable for all.

Pelosi Joins Discussion On Community Health Centers On The Threat Of Medicaid Cuts By Anna Tran

Thanks to Republicans' Big, Ugly Law, children will go hungry and families will struggle as grocery prices and utility bills soar.

Democrats are united against this monstrosity, and we’ll keep fighting to protect the American people from its devastation.
