What always happens when Republicans are in control?
❌ Start another forever war
❌ Send gas prices soaring
❌ Balloon the deficit
For this week's #RivasRewind, I discussed how Republicans have consistently done this when they've held power.
Same Republican playbook. Same consequences for working families.

On this day in 1965, President LBJ signed Medicare and Medicaid into law.
Today, 4.5 million AANHPIs rely on Medicaid, and nearly 3 million rely on Medicare, yet Republicans passed the largest cuts to these programs in U.S. history.
It's a complete betrayal to our communities.

This is an attack on our legal immigration system and flies in the face of our nation’s values.
Upholding the right to seek asylum is not only a legal obligation—it is a moral one.
Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@ReichlinMelnick
NEW: The Trump admin just published a new regulation allowing asylum officers at @USCIS to deny hundreds of thousands of applications without an interview, sending applicants directly to deportation proceedings. This means many people will never get a chance to argue their case.

AANHPIs account for more than 50% of hepatitis B cases in the U.S. and are 5x more likely to die from hepatitis B-related diseases than non-Hispanic White people.
This #WorldHepatitisDay, let's work toward a future where everyone has access to the care they need.

No child should ever go to sleep hungry—yet President Trump and Congressional Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill ripped away food assistance from more than 1.5 million kids.
Why? So they could pay for tax cuts for their billionaire donors. This is cruelty by design.

House Republicans refuse to carry out one of the basic duties of Congress: funding the government.
But when the president asks for a blank check for endless wars, they move with lightning speed.
Michael Jones@bymichaeljones
Jeffries, Clark and Aguilar announce in joint statement that they will oppose the House GOP CR to extend gov’t funding through 12/4: “This continuing resolution is a premature and desperate attempt by Republicans to abdicate their responsibility to govern while there are still several months left to negotiate a bipartisan agreement.”

Powerful words from our Tri-Caucus colleagues in @TheBlackCaucus, @HispanicCaucus, and @CAPAC.
The Tri-Caucus gives a voice to the Americans so often demeaned by bigots like Nancy Mace. Her latest political stunt only affirms their purpose.
We are proud to stand with them against hate.

Nancy Mace is once again resorting to hate and racism to get attention.
Her cheap political stunts won't silence these trailblazing Caucuses & leaders.
We'll continue to organize and fight to make sure minority communities are represented in Congress. We stand with you @TheBlackCaucus, @HispanicCaucus, @CAPAC.
Congressional Black Caucus (CBC)@TheBlackCaucus
We don’t need a lecture about what constitutes federally sanctioned segregation— least of all from Nancy Mace.

.@RepJayapal is right. The Republicans' so-called congressional stock trading ban is a sham.
Their bill still allows Members of Congress to own and sell stocks. It's political theater.
Meanwhile, Speaker Johnson continues to block her bill that would actually ban the practice.
Rep. Pramila Jayapal@RepJayapal
Republicans are bringing a weak-ass bill to the floor that’s called the “Stop Insider Trading Act.” Except it does NOT actually stop insider trading. If Republicans actually wanted to stop congressional stock trading, they’d pass our bipartisan Restore Trust in Congress Act.

Rep. Mace’s racist, bigoted resolution does nothing to address or solve the real discrimination facing our communities. Its only purpose is to invoke anger and division.
As Chair Emerita of @CAPAC, I know how important it is to have spaces dedicated to representing, celebrating, and understanding our diverse communities. Congressional caucuses like CAPAC enable us to serve Americans better, plain and simple.

Accessible healthcare is a right ALL Americans deserve.
@HispanicCaucus, @CAPAC, and @TheBlackCaucus are making sure our communities are protected against recent attacks on affordable healthcare.

Instead of lowering costs and investing in education, health care, and child care, Republicans are choosing to fund Donald Trump’s reckless war in Iran.

Why did the judges improperly grade a Sikh student’s correct responses as wrong?
Why did they refuse to put up a live scoreboard?
Why did the Department of Education refuse to conduct a review?
This Trump-led civics competition has the words RIGGED written all over it.
Sam Fortier@Sam4TR
Was a national civics competition for high-school kids ... Rigged? Biased? Botched? I followed one family through Trump's patriotic contest and found a remarkable story about our age of suspicion. For @NOTUSreports: notus.org/national/ameri…

Joint statement from Democratic Caucuses on DHS Public Charge Rule:

There are 430,000 DREAMers from Asia and over 10,000 TPS holders from Myanmar and Nepal living in the U.S. They deserve the chance to live, work, and contribute to our country without the constant threat of deportation.
Congress must pass the American Dream and Promise Act.

What happened at Harry Reid International Airport raises serious questions. A man was restrained and partially handcuffed by people in street clothes during an ICE operation, then left on the ground with a handcuff still on his wrist after the agents walked away. This is not how public trust is built. At one of the busiest airports in the country, travelers, workers, and families deserve to know who is acting under federal authority, what rules they are following, and how their rights are protected. Nevadans deserve clear answers and accountability. #NV04

Sacramento is one of the most diverse regions in America. Home to vibrant Vietnamese, Chinese, South Asian, Pacific Islander, and many other communities. Our healthcare system should reflect that diversity.
The Health Equity and Accountability Act does that by strengthening language access, expanding culturally responsive care, and helping ensure every patient can understand their diagnosis and get the care they need.
