All you've done for the last 15 years is try to repeal, defund, deauthorize, and dismantle the Affordable Care Act with no alternative. No alternative. Give me a damn break.

Mike Johnson: "Let me look right into the camera and tell you very clearly: Republicans are the ones concerned about healthcare. Republicans are the party working around the clock everyday to fix healthcare. This is not talking points for us: we've done it."

This is just a temporary win. Yet again, mifepristone was approved by the FDA 25 years ago and it’s been safe and effective for MILLIONS of women since. That doesn’t change based on whether you got the medicine at a doctor’s office or through the mail.

I’m proud to be celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week this week. I’ve always been passionate about mentoring our future generations. It’s why I became a social studies teacher in the first place and why I’m energized to fight for our educators and students in Congress today.

People told us we were being alarmist when we said Republicans would come after our reproductive rights - overturning Roe v. Wade, allowing women to bleed out in their cars, arresting people for miscarriages, attacking contraception. But we’ve been right every single time.

I’m grateful for my Jewish heritage and the lessons it’s instilled in me – resilience and hope, that every person deserves justice, the desire to serve others. It’s never been more important to spread those ideals, worship in the way that’s most meaningful to you, and proudly pass our traditions on to future generations.

Just a reminder that Trump and Republicans made massive cuts to Medicaid and SNAP so they could super-charge ICE’s budget and fund tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy and big corporations. Quite a statement of their priorities.

We’re still reviewing this ruling but let’s be clear: the FDA first approved mifepristone 25 years ago and it’s been safe and effective for millions of people ever since. Whether it’s taken at home or in a medical setting has no impact on that fact. Every American must have the right to control their own pregnancies.

When I didn’t have insurance before the ACA, I went to Planned Parenthood for full reproductive care. As Republicans try to give a green light to anti-reproductive rights protestors to harm patients at reproductive health facilities, I reminded them about the wide scope of services Planned Parenthood provides and how many women have benefitted from them.

Progressive Caucus members are leading the charge to end Trump's disastrous war with Iran. In the past two weeks, seven CPC members have introduced War Powers Resolution to end this illegal war. Republicans want to duck the issue. We won't let them.

We’ve heard Americans loud and clear. From increasing pay and taking on corporations, to lowering everyday costs on housing, groceries, and childcare, our agenda reflects that we're ready to take real action. Read more: commondreams.org/news/bold-idea…

We just voted on the FISA bill. A majority of the House supports reforms to protect Americans from being surveilled by their own government. We can’t keep doing the same thing and expecting different results. Without those critical safeguards, I couldn’t support it. I voted NO.

Now why exactly did Mike Johnson keep these innocent FEMA, TSA, and Coast Guard employees working without pay for all this time? This bipartisan bill has been on the table FOR WEEKS! This really was a shameful episode.

This unauthorized war is yet another example of the Trump admin’s brazen and illegal attempts to consolidate power.  We need it to end, to bring our servicemembers back to safety, and to get Congress and this administration to focus on lowering the cost of living here at home.

Today, I voted no on the Republicans’ Farm Bill.  This was a missed opportunity to reverse the cuts to SNAP and rein in the damage from Trump’s trade wars to give farmers critical relief. Ultimately, this bill will hurt families and farmers while helping big corporations.

To be clear: this is the same admin that kicked nearly 3,000 Vermonters off SNAP and cut Medicaid because 'we couldn’t afford it.' Shame.

This is a disgraceful opinion – decided on strictly partisan lines – and yet another major blow to our democracy. They've effectively taken the teeth out of the landmark Voting Rights Act and invalidated so much hard-fought progress. A truly sad day. huffpost.com/entry/supreme-…
