“It’s clear the Trump Administration targeted this highly successful program based on inaccurate information as part of its drive to attack any effort aimed at giving all students a chance to excel and succeed,” said Wasserman Schultz. “The Education Department, or what’s left of it, clearly acted prematurely by threatening to withhold funding from our local schools, and it all appears to be based on erroneous information, an incomplete investigation, and a purely political agenda. Latinos in Action has for nearly a decade helped all our students grow as scholars and leaders. This baseless decision by the Department is an attack on our students’ educational opportunities.”

Our constituents are already facing a healthcare affordability crisis, higher prices due to tariffs and economic uncertainty, and a higher net tax burden due to the Republican Big Ugly Law. We urge you to abandon unilateral changes to Social Security disability eligibility and refocus your attention on ensuring that all Americans can access their earned benefits.” Read more »
“If these credits expire, thousands of people we represent face double, triple or quadruple price hikes in their premiums,” said Wasserman Schultz. “But you all know what that really means. Families will be forced to drop coverage. Chronic diseases will go undiagnosed. ERs will be flooded. People will needlessly die. Our communities will be ravaged. And it’s not just ACA families who will be hit.” Read more »

“We are elated by news that Israel and Hamas have come to an agreement to end the war in Gaza, release the hostages, and surge aid into Gaza. We thank President Donald Trump, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and negotiators in allied and partner nations for their tireless efforts in service of peace over these past two years. Once all the hostages still held by Hamas are released, the Abraham Accords Caucus looks forward to reconvening Israel and its Arab partners in support of lasting peace, the disarming of Hamas, and rebuilding on foundations of stability and tolerance so that our ally Israel will never again be threatened.

“Over 200,000 people right here in my district will face a massive hit to their monthly budget or lose healthcare coverage entirely. Kaiser estimates that premiums will double for our families. Who can possibly afford that?” said Wasserman Schultz. “In the conversations I just had with healthcare leaders in my district, they were very clear that there were thousands and thousands of people in our community that will cease being able to have affordable healthcare.” Read more »
“Separation of powers requires that the Executive Branch not usurp Congress’s power to make laws; it mandates that the Executive Branch not override the Judiciary’s power to declare what the law is; and it obligates the Judiciary to not shy from its duty to prevent Executive Branch overreach that upsets the carefully calibrated role each co-equal branch plays in our constitutional democracy,” said the Members in the brief’s introduction.
The brief continues, “The Secretary’s actions not only violate the TPS statute but also contradict the bipartisan opposition to terminating Venezuela TPS. Members of Congress on both sides of the aisle have long supported temporary protected status for Venezuelans who fled dangerous conditions in their country—conditions that persist today.” Read more »
“For the average ACA customer in my district, costs will skyrocket and blow an average annual hole of $490 in their personal budgets – a 72% increase in premiums,” said Wasserman Schultz. “Almost no family has that kind of extra money lying around. The cost of living is already too high. Families need relief.” Read more »
“Courtney Wild and other Epstein victims were wrongly denied legal standing to invoke their rights, because a secret plea deal was reached that basically slapped Epstein on the wrist. This bill would fulfill the original intent of the Crime Victims’ Rights Act and prevent gross miscarriages of injustice like that from being repeated,” said Rep. Wasserman Schultz. “Crime victims deserve dignity and adequate support, not further victimization at the discretion of federal prosecutors. And serial sex offenders never deserve sweetheart deals where victims are kept in the dark and accomplices are shielded.”
