Every working family in my district deserves a vacation more than the House Republicans who refuse to do their jobs, come back to DC, and work with us to end this shutdown.

Itโ€™s been 38 days since the House last held a vote.

No appropriations bills.

No committee work.

No progress.

Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to even swear in duly elected Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva.ย 

Enough excuses. Bring the House back to work and do your job.

A 60-year old couple making $85K will see their health costs rise $22,600 next year if Congress doesnโ€™t extend ACA credits. Thatโ€™s not politicsโ€”itโ€™s math.

Congress must act now to protect affordable health care for millions of Americans. Iโ€™m fighting to stop this hike.ย #TrumpHatesOurHealthCare

Tell Congress: Oppose the Federal Concealed Carry Mandate This legislation puts the safety of our communities at risk.

Our lawmakers should be focused on passing policies that keep us safeโ€”but instead, they're considering legislation that would gut our life-saving gun laws. I just sent a message urging my lawmakers to oppose it: etwn.us/3DGVCCY @Everytown

Today, the message is clear: America isnโ€™t a monarchyโ€”our democracyโ€™s power belongs to the people. No crowns. No dictators. No kings.

Not now, not ever.

The lawlessness of this administration is through the roof right now. They are increasingly desperate and we must keep showing up and demanding justice.

Let me get this straight: The House hasnโ€™t voted in weeks, the govt is shut down, the new Democratic member hasnโ€™t even been sworn in, weโ€™re one signature from forcing release of the Epstein Files, and Mike Johnson (the weakest Speaker ever) wants us home so his party wonโ€™t implode.

I rarely agree with Ted Cruz, but on this weโ€™re united: he called FCC Chair Brendan Carrโ€™s bid to suspend Jimmy Kimmel โ€œright out of Goodfellasโ€ and โ€œdangerous as hell.โ€

Using government power to punish speech we dislike threatens everyoneโ€”left, right, or center.

19.09.2025 18:49 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 136    ๐Ÿ” 39    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 12    ๐Ÿ“Œ 4

Last time I checked the First Amendment doesnโ€™t say โ€œfreedom of speechโ€ฆ unless you criticize Trump.โ€

Kimmelโ€™s suspension is straight-up censorship.

We as parents can counter this. I grew up in repressive 1950s-60s but my liberal parents & pacifist grandparents made sure I wasnโ€™t indoctrinated by right-wing school/society. In turn, I taught those values to my kids. Resist!

Daughters are no longer raised to be wives.
They're raised to be people. And some people are really not okay with that.
They're not being taught to sacrifice themselves for the comfort of others. Not being told that marriage is the finish line.
Not being conditioned to make themselves smaller to be loved. They're being raised to earn their own money, choose their own timing, live alone if they need to, and not apologise for wanting more. They're building lives where love is welcome but not begged for. They're questioning things their mothers had to silently accept.
They're choosing healing, not just habits.
And for people who are used to obedience, that kind of freedom looks like defiance.

Just a reminder that millions of Americans will lose health coverage under Medicaid cuts and new red tape. We must protect access to care and work together on real solutions that strengthen, not weaken, our health care system.

Trumpโ€™s Big Ugly Bill rips away Medicaid to pay for billionaire tax breaks.

Seniors risk losing care at home, kids with disabilities risk losing treatment, and working families risk losing stability.

Real lives are on the line if we donโ€™t #StopCutsToHealthcare.

The Trump Admin is ending funding for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Consortium, shutting down clinical trials for kids with deadly brain cancer.

Children will lose access to lifesaving treatments.

Cruel. Shortsighted. Unconscionable.

Don't forget: Republicans claim they didnโ€™t gut Medicaidโ€”just added โ€œaccountability,โ€ and thatโ€™s a LIE.

Their Big Ugly Bill slashes $1 trillion, imposes harsh red tape, and creates chaos that will push millions off their coverage.

All to fund a billionaire tax break.

A federal judge just ruled that Trump illegally deployed federal troops to LA โ€“ violating the Posse Comitatus Act.

Trump canโ€™t use our troops as his own police force. As Trump continues to stomp on the Constitution, Iโ€™ll keep fighting back to protect democracy and the rule of law.

Tariffs are a hidden tax on working families. They drive up prices, squeeze small businesses, and put jobs at risk. We need real solutions to lower costsโ€”not political stunts that punish Americans.

Trump blames renewable energy for rising electricity prices. Experts point elsewhere President Donald Trump is blaming renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power for skyrocketing energy costs

Itโ€™s a flat out LIE to blame clean energy for higher bills.

Experts point to fossil fuels, aging grids, and extreme weather.

Wind and solar are the cheapest power.

Trump promised lower costsโ€”families are getting the opposite.
