Trump está ocultando sus acciones a los Hispanos. No creo que los políticos deban esconderse de sus votantes.

Estoy lanzando un canal de WhatsApp para mantener a mis electores hispanohablantes al tanto de las últimas novedades en Washington. 👇

I'm filled with hope, optimism & relief that all remaining hostages will finally return to Israel to be reunited with family & I hope that the people of Israel & Gaza will be on a path out of this bloody conflict & toward a more secure & peaceful future.

A constituent shared their soaring Medicare hikes with me. The GOP healthcare crisis inflates costs for all of us.

Out-of-Pocket Costs doubled.
Prescription Deductible tripled.
Over-the-Counter Allowance: scrapped.

If you've gotten a similar notice, please contact my office.

America faces a healthcare crisis we must solve immediately. This is a right now problem for millions of Americans, but House Republicans are AWOL.

I joined the Jewish Federation of Broward County for an incredibly moving event to remember the innocent lives lost and honor the strength of the survivors.

We must stand united to push for the return of the remaining hostages and heal as a community.

I joined my fellow co-Chairs of the bipartisan Congressional Latino-Jewish Caucus, Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, @repespaillat.bsky.social, and Rep. Tony Gonzales in a joint statement to mark two years since Hamas’ October 7th terror attack:

It's been two years since the vicious terror attack on October 7th, 2023.

I've been forthright in calling for a plan to bring the hostages home, end the Hamas threat, and get aid to Palestinians in need. We must keep pushing until a plan is in motion and the hostages are free.

I've advocated for cancer education, early detection, and support for survivors for my whole career. As healthcare and cancer research comes under attack, we must keep fighting for these goals.

So proud to share that message at the Hepburn Center's Stiletto Cancer Walk in Hallandale Beach.

Sex traffickers should face consequences for their crimes. No more backroom deals.

We must pass my Courtney Wild Reinforcing Crime Victims' Rights Act to hold Epstein's accomplices accountable and ensure sex traffickers get more than a slap on the wrist.

Supreme Court rejects Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell’s appeal of her criminal conviction

Maxwell was convicted for her role in recruiting and grooming girls who were sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein.

I was able to beat breast cancer thanks to quality, affordable health coverage.

If Republicans rip away affordable coverage, they'll stop millions of Americans from doing the same.

The truth:

Democrats want to lower healthcare costs for working Americans.

Undocumented immigrants are ineligible for tax credits and comprehensive Medicaid plans. Democrats haven't proposed changing that.

Democrats are fighting to lower healthcare costs, yet Speaker Johnson gave House Republicans an extra week off work amid a government shutdown.

Why do Republicans refuse to do their jobs?

My community will be horribly hurt by Republicans' healthcare cuts.

But local health leaders and citizens fear speaking out about it because Trump and DeSantis govern through vengeance and intimidation.

The GOP healthcare crisis and shutdown must end.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz @wassermanschultz.house.gov · 4d

I met health leaders in my district yesterday who were clear: costs go up for all of us if the GOP healthcare crisis doesn't end.

Without ACA tax credits, more people get sicker due to lack of care and more will resort to ERs. That shifts costs on to all of us.

I'm fighting to lower health costs. Yet amid a gov't shutdown – as troops and public servants work without pay – GOP Speaker Johnson extends House Republicans' vacation.

We need to work on an agreement, not run from negotiations.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz @wassermanschultz.house.gov · 5d

As healthcare costs are set to skyrocket and public servants work without pay, Republicans just extended their vacation.

I'm ready to lower prices for American families, but Republicans need to show up to work.

I just met with key health leaders and advocates to hear what the ongoing Republican shutdown and healthcare crisis would to do our hospitals and the people who count on quality coverage to stay healthy.

Here's what I heard:

Over 200,000 people in my district will see healthcare costs skyrocket if Republicans continue their assault on affordable healthcare.

Republicans need to negotiate a spending bill that stops this healthcare crisis from getting worse.

I wish an easy fast and meaningful day to those observing Yom Kippur.

Let us reflect on the past year and resolve to work in the year ahead to improve ourselves and our communities.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz @wassermanschultz.house.gov · 7d

In my district alone, over 200,000 people will see healthcare costs skyrocket and 82,000 will lose coverage overall due to this Republican healthcare crisis.

The GOP needs to negotiate a funding deal that opens the government and saves Americans' healthcare.

This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, join me in honoring breast cancer fighters, survivors, their families and caregivers.

As a survivor myself, I want to remind you to please get an annual screening. It may save your life.

Instead of coming to the table to negotiate, Republicans let government funding run out, and shut down our federal government last night.

To learn what that means for you, visit my website: wassermanschultz.house.gov/legislation/...

2025 Gov Shutdown | U.S. House of Representatives

Funding for the federal government expires on September 30. I am working to keep critical services up and running for families in our community, but House Republicans are charging forward with shutting down the government.

Instead of keeping the lights on, House Republicans didn’t show up to work.

They need to come to the table to negotiate a spending deal that protects Americans’ healthcare.

At midnight tonight, government funding runs out.

I'm live with @frost.house.gov and @repdarrensoto.bsky.social to highlight Republican efforts to rip away healthcare from millions of Floridians in their partisan spending plan.

Healthcare is increasingly out of reach for far too many.

@housedemocrats.bsky.social understand this, so we're fighting to keep government open while lowering health care costs.
