Sunrise, FL – The 2025 hurricane season’s tragic effects are already being felt as the remnants of Tropical Storm Barry contributed to the deadly flash floods in Texas. Yet Republicans in Congress and President Trump are gutting the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) with staff and funding cuts, and deeper reductions are proposed for an agency that provides critical, timely climate research and weather forecasting that our communities count on to be safe. On Wednesday, Member...

Trump outright abandoned our veterans by gutting the VA & firing more veterans than any other president. My commitment to our veterans: I'll fight nonstop to ensure you get your hard-earned benefits. Proud to join State Representative Marie Woodson at tonight's veterans town hall.

Republicans' Big Ugly Bill is an abomination. Millions stripped of health coverage and food aid, hundreds of hospitals and nursing homes face closure – all rushed and passed under cover of night to give handouts to billionaires. I fought it nonstop and proudly voted against it.

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.
