Republicans throw the American people to the wolves with their Big Ugly Bill. Our country is not better off when millions have health care stolen from them.

🩺 Millions lose healthcare 🏥 Hospitals face closures 🥪 Kids, seniors & veterans lose food assistance 👷🏻 Millions of jobs killed 📈 Debt skyrockets 💣 Deficit explodes All of this to hand huge tax breaks to the rich

Republicans' Big Ugly Bill steals health care from millions of people and still manages to blow a $4 trillion hole in our national debt, all to give tax breaks to billionaires. Congress is supposed to help people. This bill just hurts people.

I filed an amendment last night to ensure SNAP or Medicaid cuts in the Big Ugly Bill can’t take effect unless Secretary Rollins certifies it won’t affect eligibility for free school lunch. Republicans voted no, and shot it down.

Yesterday, I filed an amendment to ensure ICE and DHS can’t use taxpayer dollars to blindly put detention facilities in ecologically sensitive areas like the Everglades if it causes environmental harm. Republicans rejected it.

I filed an amendment yesterday to ensure Secretary Kennedy’s HHS certify that cuts in the Big Ugly Bill will not affect cancer patients and their care. Republicans voted it down.

We need to do everything we can to stop this Big Ugly Bill. We can’t give billionaires handouts at the expense of working Americans.

The Big Ugly Bill is an abomination. We come to Congress to help people, not hurt them.

Proud to join Rep. Yassamin Ansari's Read-In to show the American people exactly what's in Republicans' Big Ugly Bill, and now I'm headed to support my colleagues in the Rules Committee. Our job is to make life better for people, not worse like the Big Ugly Bill does.

FEMA saves lives and helps Americans rebuild after devastation. We can improve FEMA through legislation. But if Trump gets his way, families will be left to suffer longer without support.

Blaming past administrations for America's moral failings is not enough. We need to fix them. The Republican Homeland Security bill defunds the Family Reunification Task Force. So House Appropriations Democrats fought back to right this wrong and bring families back together.

We want to be safe as hurricane season kicks in. Yet Trump froze $800M headed to Florida for past hurricane damage, and it’s hurting our ability to prepare for future extreme storms. Florida is less safe under Trump.

Trump's family separation policy took children from their parents. Some still haven't been brought back together. I led an amendment with House Appropriations Democrats to continue efforts to reunite these families. Republicans defeated it by one vote.

Our communities want and need disaster preparedness funding, but Trump cut the BRIC program that fills that need. The hurricanes that devastate Florida are our new normal. House Appropriations Democrats fought to keep this program alive, but Republicans voted it down. This fight won't end here.
