I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Enough is enough. Adelita Grijalva was elected on September 23. The people of Arizona have a right to be represented in Congress.
 
During today’s pro forma session, when the House is called to order I will seek unanimous consent to insist upon the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva.

Insurance premiums are set to skyrocket for Minnesotans and families across the country unless Congressional Republicans work with us to extend the health care tax credits.

Open enrollment starts in just 11 days on November 1. This is a *now* problem.

Costs could rise even more for some if federal credits expire as planned.

The heart and brain of EPA - its research office - has been dismantled. Policy now outranks evidence. Hundreds of scientists silenced while industry lobbyists cheer.

And the #EPA139 who spoke out still on admin leave.

Germany gave people €1,200/month no strings attached.

They kept working, slept better, switched to better jobs, and even gave more to others.

Turns out, when people aren’t drowning, they swim further.

Last night, Republicans lined up to vote against releasing the Epstein files.

They'll pick protecting Trump over serving the American people.

Every. Single. Time.

Democracies use government as an instrument for the common good. Using a tax bill to destroy and deny health care for 17 million of our people is a sign of authoritarianism.

Tl;dr: 250,000 more Minnesotans at risk of devastating medical bills, higher energy prices, rural hospital closures, and longer ambulance wait times.

None of this is worth a tax cut for billionaires. Congress needs to reject this bill.

Sick and tired of Republican Senators coming to me privately saying, “Mark, keep speaking up, you’re our conscience.”

I don’t want to be their damn conscience.

I want them to vote their conscience.

Senate Republicans have lost their spines—all they do is bow down to Donald Trump and his billionaire donors.

They know this bill will kill people. And they just look the other way.

The White House says voting against this bill is a betrayal of the President.

But voting for it is actually a betrayal of hardworking Americans who need access to health care and grocery stores in rural communities.

Who are they going to put first? The choice should be easy.
