I led House Appropriations Committee Democrats to demand protections for Venezuelans who fled a murderous dictator. Republicans objected. But I secured a bipartisan deal to make DHS justify why they revoked TPS and force them to reconsider. I’ll keep fighting to protect Venezuelans from Maduro and Trump.

Instead of keeping their promise to protect Americans from criminals, DHS goes after legal immigrants — people who did it the right way. The Republican Homeland Security funding bill does nothing to hold DHS accountable.

I represent a large Venezuelan community in South Florida. My neighbors had their lawful status ripped away. How are we better off with half a million more undocumented immigrants who can’t safely return to the dictatorship they fled?

Millions just protested Republican corruption, cruelty and chaos. Democrats fight for more middle class tax cuts, health coverage and safer communities. That’s what America wants.

Trump’s costly military response wasn’t about safety. He’s stoking fear, violence and chaos. Senator Padilla saw it firsthand. Members of Congress have a right to conduct oversight & demand answers. Trump’s intimidation tactics won’t stop us.

Trump's deployment of the National Guard in LA inflames and divides, and distracts law enforcement from focusing on real criminals. Militarizing our communities doesn't solve problems, it creates them.

As he tries to rip away healthcare coverage from millions and guts budgets for other vital services, Trump just wasted $45 million on a military parade. It’s peak hypocrisy.

Republicans already caved to Trump's tariff taxes that raise prices on families. Tonight, they refused to even find out what Trump's erratic tariff policies will do to drive up military construction costs. What are they so afraid of?

@SouthFloridaPBS educates millions of our kids, provides fact-based programming, warns families about hurricanes, and so much more. Congress will vote on eliminating their funding this week. But I'll oppose it. We should expand access to quality programs - not limit it.

Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Congressman Vern Buchanan (R-FL), Co-Chairs of the bipartisan 30-member Florida congressional delegation, will co-chair a bipartisan hearing with the delegation Wednesday, April 9, to discuss hurricane recovery efforts and improving Florida’s infrastructure to prepare for future hurricanes. This follows three back-to-back hurricanes that devastated Florida last year and ongoing conversations about federal hurricane relief efforts. “Thousands of Florida ...

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz raises her concerns on @msnbc regarding Trump and his OMB’s actions against federal law and against Congress that pause funding for programs that support crucial housing, healthcare, childcare, meals, transportation, and more resources for the American people. #HouseAppropriations #OMB #PowerofthePurse #MSNBC #AlexWitt #Project2025 #FundingFreeze #RepublicanRipOff
