Not only are you depriving survivors of justice, you are denying the constituents of Arizona’s 7th Congressional District their voice in Congress.

Speaker Johnson, it’s past time to swear in Rep.-Elect Adelita Grijalva. Today’s pro forma session is the perfect opportunity. What’s stopping you?

Every day that you delay it becomes more clear that you want to block the release of the Epstein files.

Once again, Republicans are playing political games with the health of the American people. Women and families are paying the heaviest price.

The Democratic Women’s Caucus will not stand for that.

Donald Trump and Republicans are taking away Medicaid, dismantling the Affordable Care Act, and slashing Medicare—and the impacts disproportionately hurt women and families.

What Republicans are doing to this country’s health care is shameful.

Women servicemembers are essential to our nation’s defense—and risk everything to serve our country.

Secretary Hegseth’s comments are disrespectful, demeaning and don’t make our nation any stronger.

The only place Hegseth is leading us to is the past—and we’re not going back.

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 7d

Years after women have entered combat jobs following generations of restrictions, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has directed every combat job to return “to the highest male standard.” https://wapo.st/471z2Rf

We are here, ready, & willing to work on legislation to fund the government & protect health care.

Republicans created an unprecedented health care crisis—with higher costs, closed hospitals, & pain across the country—then skipped town rather than sticking around to deal with the consequences.

Katherine Clark @whipkclark.bsky.social · 8d

Republicans just brought the House into session for a total of 2 minutes.

Democrats tried to bring up legislation to keep government open, keep children on their insurance, and keep health care costs from doubling.

Then they adjourned. The GOP will own this shutdown.

I joined @demwomencaucus.bsky.social Caucus and @fernandez.house.gov to answer your questions, because Americans deserve to know what will happen when House Republicans would rather shutdown the government than bring down healthcare costs for AMERICAN families.

Republicans fled town, it’s their shutdown. They know that trying to take away your health care is wrong, and they are trying to hide.

Rep. Jayapal is a dedicated public servant, committed to representing her constituents and fighting for women and families across America.

We stand with her and condemn this political violence.

The hateful and vile threats made against @jayapal.house.gov by AZ state representative John Gillette are absolutely repulsive and wrong.
