During the August recess, members of @cbc.house.gov heard from constituents how the policies of the Trump Administration’s Big Ugly Law have made the cost-of-living crisis even worse as costs continue to skyrocket. Last night, I anchored a Special Order Hour to share what we heard.

“For too long, leaders in Washington and around our nation have weaponized the issue of public safety with a failed 'tough on crime' approach that drives fear and division while fueling a cycle of mass incarceration, instead of delivering real solutions that make communities safer.”

Tonight, Trump delivered his State of the Union address, claiming that our country is ‘bigger, better, richer, and stronger than ever.’   But for Black Americans, the reality behind these blatantly racist lies, disrespect, and outright distortions tells a very different story.

Arresting journalists and activists for documenting or protesting an out-of-control government’s abuse of power is an attack on the First Amendment and democracy itself. We are on a slippery slope into authoritarianism. Pam Bondi is a disgrace and needs to be held accountable.

One year ago today, the world watched as Donald Trump took his oath of office as the 47th President of the United States. Since then? Trump has unleashed chaos; stoked division with his war on DEI; traumatized our federal workforce; intimidated immigrant communities; and sowed fear in our country.

Five years later, it is not lost on our Caucus that the efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election with false claims of illegitimate voting occurred during a year when we saw historic participation from Black voters. The fight to protect our democracy is far from over.

Healthcare tax credits for working families expire in 5 days. Republicans refuse to extend them. Earlier this month I asked a Republican Congressman a simple question -- why can't his constituents have the same health care coverage he does?

After months of inaction, Republicans introduced a last-minute package that fails to address the health care crisis they created. I anchored a @cbc.house.gov Special Order Hour demanding the permanent extension of the ACA enhanced premium tax credits before they expire at the end of the year.

Donald Trump lied when he promised to lower costs. And as shoppers hit the stores today, they're seeing higher costs for the goods they want to purchase. His economic policies are failing us. Billionaires are wealthier than ever. And working people are footing the bill.

Democrats are holding the line on health care because this issue impacts ALL of us. Even if you have the best health plan on the market, Republicans' gutting of Medicaid and ending ACA tax credits will cause your costs to go up by an average of $2,320 in CA-12. (1/2)

At Orchard Gardens, a public school in Roxbury, I asked the school nurses what the #1 issue is for kids who come to them. Their response? Hunger. Republicans are worsening this crisis every day through their government shutdown and policy CHOICES. This is 100% preventable.

Still need proof a shutdown was always Trump’s plan?   Americans don’t want soaring health costs, lost jobs, or disrupted services. For Trump, a shutdown is just an excuse to keep dismantling the government and gutting the programs people rely on.

Politics is supposed to be about compromising to do what’s best for the American people. But right now, the other side of the aisle is empty. Republicans aren’t here—because they don’t care about you, your health care, or even doing their jobs to keep the government open.
