Trump's big, ugly bill just got uglier. It strips healthcare and food assistance from millions, guts clean energy tax credits, and adds $4 TRILLION to the U.S. debt.

All to give tax breaks to billionaires.

I'm heading to DC to vote NO.

Trump continues to belittle and disregard federal workers. Denying them backpay during this Republican government shutdown is illegal, shameful and deeply unfair.

Hardworking Americans shouldn't be used as political pawns.

Palestinians in the region have endured unimaginable loss of life, heartbreak, uncertainty, and fear. We need an end to this war, to return the remaining hostages to their families, and to reach a solution that provides lasting, durable peace.

Today marks two years since Hamas’ brutal Oct. 7th terror attack that shattered families and entire communities. My heart goes out to the victims, their families, and to everyone affected by the horror and senselessness of that day. Two years later, the resulting war and suffering is ongoing.

A new nonpartisan report found that health care premiums will DOUBLE if Republicans let ACA tax credits expire.

I visited air traffic controllers at SFO who are currently working without pay due to the Republican government shutdown.

Federal workers do vital work for the American people.

It's time for Republicans to support a bipartisan budget that protects health care so we can reopen the government.

This morning I joined @rephuffman.bsky.social, @kevinmullin.house.gov and Bay Area health care leaders at NEMS to call out Republicans’ cruel health care crisis.

While the GOP puts affordable health care at risk, Democrats are fighting to keep government open and prevent skyrocketing premiums.

This disastrous decision comes when Americans are already struggling to afford utility bills, groceries, and health care.

But Trump’s Republican Party continues to take jobs away from hard working Americans to punish blue states.

Trump just canceled billions of dollars in grants for clean energy projects in California.

These grants would’ve helped our climate crisis, generated good paying jobs & lowered energy costs.

The cuts include $34M cancelled for projects in California’s 15th District alone. 🧵

Day 1 of the government shutdown, and Republicans are still AWOL.

If Republicans have their way, health care premiums will double or triple for millions of Americans.

Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans have officially shut down the federal government by refusing to support a bipartisan funding bill that protects health care.

Republicans control the White House and Congress. If the government shuts down, it’s because Republicans refused to support a bipartisan solution that lowers costs & protects health care.

The Trump Administration is fear-mongering and sparking chaos for everyday Americans.

The cost of living is already too high. Republicans have made things worse by stripping health care from families.

Millions in California & across the country will lose coverage and see health care costs skyrocket if Republicans let Affordable Care Act tax credits expire.

I am glad to see ABC will bring Jimmy Kimmel Live back on air.

This is a win for free speech & proof that when we hold their feet to the fire we can have a real impact.

The Trump Administration’s ongoing threats to our First Amendment rights undermine our democracy and must never be tolerated.

This week, FCC chair Brendan Carr pressured ABC to remove Jimmy Kimmel from the air. Now, Trump is threatening to revoke the licenses of broadcasters that criticize him.

I'm demanding Carr testify before the Energy & Commerce Committee to answer questions about his corrupt, un-American actions.

Last month's jobs report was the worst we've seen since the pandemic. Layoffs are at a 5-year high, and people can't afford health care and groceries.

Trump & Republicans have broken their promise to the American people to lower costs.
