Democrats urge Trump administration to keep banning churches from endorsing politicians WASHINGTON (RNS) — A letter from Democratic lawmakers warned that repealing the Johnson Amendment, set to be discussed in a hearing next week, would fracture a ‘foundation stone in the nation’s wall o...

Taxpayers shouldn’t be subsidizing political speech. Representatives Clyburn and Huffman, Senator Wyden and I are calling on the Trump Administration to stop taking a wrecking ball to the separation of church and state.

Most Americans can't keep up with the skyrocketing cost of living – and Republicans are only making that worse.

Since Trump took office, the average family in California has paid $1,112 in higher prices due to his policies. The American people deserve better.

While millions of Americans struggle with the high cost of living, Trump and the GOP’s priority is letting Big Oil billionaires pollute our waters. On #TheFlipSide, I'm fighting harder than ever to protect communities from the toxic pollution, worse flooding, and skyrocketing costs this will cause.

Special Education Services At Risk Under Department of Education Cuts - EdSurge News Department of Education cuts leave advocates and parents worried about the fate of special education services.

50 years ago, Congress passed IDEA to transform classrooms for kids with disabilities. Fast forward to now: Trump is eviscerating the Dept. of Ed and putting special services on the chopping block.

Every child deserves the education they need to succeed, and I won’t stop pushing for full funding.

The Republican shutdown is over, but millions are still struggling to afford healthcare and food.

House Republicans' first priority?

NOT helping hardworking Americans, but jamming through more favors for billionaire polluters.

Americans deserve better. Definitely better than whatever House Republicans are cooking up for their billionaire buddies.

We deserve clean, reliable energy, good-paying jobs & affordable healthcare. Democrats won't sacrifice our health, environment, or livelihoods for polluter profits.

After months of Speaker Johnson doing everything he could to block us, I just voted to release the Epstein Files.

Survivors deserve justice, and the American people deserve the truth. We need to ensure anyone involved, no matter how wealthy or well-connected, is held accountable for these crimes.

As China becomes the global leader in renewable energy, the U.S. is falling behind China is expanding renewable energy exponentially while the U.S. is going backward. How China became the global leader, why the U.S. falling behind and what it means for these countries' economies.

While Trump drags us back to the Stone Age, China is lapping us on renewable energy.

We've seen it in Humboldt County and across the country. Trump is cutting millions in funding from major wind projects and abandoning the progress we've built for future generations. It's inexcusable.

Democrats revive package of bills to clamp down on fracking The legislation would close the "Halliburton Loophole" and strengthen other regulations on oil and gas production.

Why should Big Oil billionaires get to skirt the rules? They shouldn’t.

Our bills close loopholes to even the playing field and stop them from destroying communities so we can get this public health and environmental crisis under control.

Since Trump took office, electricity prices have gone up by 11%.

House Republicans’ solution? Slash affordable clean energy projects and pump more fossil fuels to ship them overseas – making electricity costs go even higher.

It's the opposite of what the American people need right now.

While farmers in California continue to struggle, Trump is amping up Argentinian beef imports and abandoning American products.

We need to pass @rokhanna.bsky.social’s bill to restore mandatory country-of-origin labeling and help ensure a fairer marketplace for farmers and ranchers.

Trump Named in Epstein Emails Released by Democrats and Republicans

The uncovered Epstein emails are riddled with Trump's name, and Republicans are scrambling to keep the truth from the American people.

But now that Rep. Grijalva is sworn in, Johnson has no choice but to let us finally vote to release the Epstein files.

While families, seniors, and veterans drown in health care costs because of Republicans' funding bill, these greedy politicians are getting $500,000 payouts on the taxpayers’ dime.

It’s unconscionable, disgusting, and corrupt – and our fight back is far from over.

Today and every day, I’m grateful for those who have served to protect our freedoms.

On Veterans Day, join me in recognizing the immense sacrifices veterans and their families made for our country.

This is evil stuff from Trump and Republicans.

Enough is enough – stop starving people and work with Democrats to reopen the government.

Trump is fighting tooth and nail to take SNAP benefits from hungry Americans. Non-profits like COTS are stepping up to put food on the table for people in need, but they’re at a breaking point.

Government shutdown becomes longest in U.S. history after failed Senate vote The Senate failed for the 14th time to advance a bill to end the government shutdown, now the longest in U.S. history.

This is the longest government shutdown in American history thanks to Trump and Republicans' out-of-whack priorities. They own this and need to end it.

Democrats know that Americans deserve better, and we won't back down from fighting to fund SNAP, reopen the government, and save your health care.

Nancy Pelosi is the greatest Speaker of all time. The People’s House will never see another leader like her, and I send her all my gratitude as she embarks on this new chapter.

It’s Election Day, so don't forget to get out and vote in the statewide special election in California!

Voting in free, fair, and open elections is one of our most important rights as Americans. So find a polling place near you and make your voices heard:

We led NOAA — we expect Neil Jacobs to defend it Neil Jacobs, the new head of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, has a critical responsibility to ensure the integrity of the agency’s science and services, and to fight for …

For multiple administrations, NOAA’s leaders have been committed to science and serving the public first and foremost.

I hope to see current Administrator Jacobs follow suit to put politics aside and deliver the critical information and data that Americans depend on every single day.

Betty Lachgar, a human rights activist battling cancer, was detained in Morocco and denied proper medical treatment over a t-shirt slogan.

Yesterday, I called on the Moroccan Ambassador Yousef Amrani to intervene and stop this injustice.

Over 41 million Americans, including 28,000+ households in #CA02, are about to lose food assistance because of Trump and Republicans' shutdown.

Families shouldn’t go hungry because the GOP is playing games. Republicans need to get back to DC and work with Democrats to fix this crisis they created.

Over 28,000 households in #CA02 will lose food assistance this week because Republicans chose to shut down the government instead of saving health care.

Tens of thousands of kids are at risk in our community, and Republicans still refuse to negotiate. This is just cruel.

Many of you have probably seen the stories I’ve shared from my constituents on how this Republican health care crisis is hurting people. 
 
I want you to hear directly from Sophia — her story is exactly why my Democratic colleagues and I are drawing this line and fighting this fight on your behalf.

Republicans' reckless cuts to health care are already affecting people in our community, and that’s why I refuse to budge during this shutdown. There's simply too much at stake.

Here's a look at what some of our neighbors are up against:

States warn SNAP benefits may stop in November if government shutdown continues A lapse in funding due to the shutdown could have a devastating effect on the millions of Americans who rely on the federal food stamps program for groceries.

Millions of children and families depend on food assistance, and these benefits are in jeopardy if the Republican shutdown continues.

But Trump and House Republicans are completely disinterested in negotiating with Democrats to open the government and make sure families can put food on the table.

Millions of people are days away from losing their health care, and demolishing the White House to build a gilded ballroom is Trump’s main priority?

They have no shame.

Every day more Americans get notices they won’t be able to afford Republicans’ new health care rates, yet Trump is more focused on meddling in foreign imports, buying new private jets, and building a gilded ballroom.

We're almost 4 weeks into the shutdown, and they're still nowhere to be seen.

While Americans go without paychecks or healthcare, Trump is demolishing the East Wing to build himself a private $250 million gilded ballroom funded by billionaires.

🚨🚨 Ranking Members @rephuffman.bsky.social, @robertgarcia.bsky.social & @repyassansari.bsky.social are demanding FULL TRANSPARENCY.

Government shutdown becomes 2nd longest in U.S. history Democrats want President Donald Trump to get involved in shutdown negotiations. Senate Majority Leader John Thune says, "Open up the government first."

We're on day 22 of the Republican shutdown – and it's officially the second-longest in American history.

House Democrats have been, and still are, ready to negotiate with Republicans to save health care and reopen the government.

Yet Republicans are off on vacation.
