100 days of chaos. 100 days of cruelty. 100 days of broken promises. For 100 days, the Trump Administration has done nothing but wreak pain and havoc on working families. @housedemocrats.bsky.social and @democrats.senate.gov are standing up to Trump's antics and protecting the American people.

Costs are up under Donald Trump and the Republican Budget will make it worse. On today’s Democratic Daily Download, @repluzrivas.bsky.social explains how slashing Medicaid and food assistance will make life harder for working families already struggling with the high cost of living.

Rest in Peace to Pope Francis, the People's Pope and the first Latin American Pope. We have a duty to ensure our government upholds his legacy of leading with love, showing empathy toward the immigrant community, and compassion for our most vulnerable. abcnews.go.com/Internationa...

I just got off the Senate floor where @booker.senate.gov is going on hour 19 of his filibuster against the harmful actions Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and DOGE are taking. He is standing against their cuts to Medicaid and Social Security. We stand with him and the American people.

As a result of their short-sighted and illegal mass firings of the federal science workforce, Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and DOGE put the public health of Americans, the safety of our communities, and our global competitiveness at risk. I co-sponsored 5 bills to halt the chaotic mass firings.

Instead of addressing the widening academic achievement gap, preventing school shootings, or making college more affordable – issues all families care about – the Trump Administration is choosing to steal from our children and their futures to give more tax breaks to billionaires.

Rep. Luz Rivas @repluzrivas.bsky.social · 19/03/2025
To pay for tax cuts for their billionaire donors, Republicans' budget would cut Medicaid for over 370,000 people in CA-29. This includes over 133,000 children and 45,000 seniors. @housedemocrats.bsky.social are fighting back to protect Medicaid for working families across the country.

The Republicans' spending bill is a reckless attack on the services and programs that support families, seniors, and veterans across the country. @housedemocrats.bsky.social will continue to stand with the American people to lower their costs and protect Medicaid and Social Security.

I joined @congresstran.bsky.social and more than 60 of my colleagues in urging Senator Schumer to reject the Republican CR that would make life harder for working families. We need to come together to pass a 30 day CR so we can work on a bill that benefits all Americans.

The extreme budget plan Republicans passed tonight shows us exactly where their values and priorities lie. In their rush to give out more tax breaks to their billionaire donors, House Republicans failed to outline plans to protect Medicaid or lower the costs of living for working families.

Rep. Luz Rivas @repluzrivas.bsky.social · 25/02/2025
If budgets are a reflection of values, then House Republicans' values are clear: they would rather betray the middle class so billionaires can have more tax breaks. @housedemocrats.bsky.social will keep fighting to protect Medicaid, veterans' benefits, SNAP programs, & healthcare for all Americans.
