Rep. Veronica Escobar

Tejana. Fronteriza. Proudly representing El Paso in the U.S. House of Representatives.
As we come to the close of debate on the bill that creates the biggest transfer of wealth in American history - from the poor to the very rich - the American people are about to get a barrage of disinformation and half-truths from Republicans. Let’s fact check these claims 🧵
NEW: Our team @immcouncil just released a major new report on Trump’s first six months. We look at three big immigration questions: - Who are we allowing into the US and who are we excluding? - How are we treating the immigrants here? - Who are we forcing to leave, and how?
If you’re one of 17 million people about to lose their health care, Republicans have some good news: they’re renaming the Kennedy Center Opera House after Melania Trump.
Simpson: Yes, we renamed the opera house at the Kennedy Center for the First Lady… an excellent way to recognize her support and commitment to promoting the arts
ICYMI: Speaker Johnson and Republicans wrote a toothless resolution on the Epstein files and now won't even bring *that* up for a vote so that they can give Donald Trump more time to distract the American people from his broken promises and secrets
News —Speaker Mike Johnson shuts the door on a House vote before August recess on a resolution calling for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files. “No,” he told me when asked if there’d be a vote before recess. Says wants to give administration “space” to deal with issue
If only there was bipartisan legislation to provide legal protections for the very immigrants all of these Republicans are quietly advocating for!
Trump administration officials insist there will be “no amnesty.” Republicans told NOTUS that behind the scenes, they’re advocating for some immigrants to stay. notus.org/immigration/re…
but America, have you said thank you?

"Capito’s father, Arch Moore, was a member of the House of Representatives who voted to create public broadcasting on Sept. 21, 1967."
Last year, Capito received an award for her support of public broadcasting. On Thursday, she voted to eliminate its federal funding. wvpublic.org/story/governme…
GOP Sen. Markwayne Mullin just blocked Dem Sen. Ruben Gallego’s attempt to unanimously pass a resolution to release the Epstein files:
.@SenRubenGallego asked unanimous consent that the Senate consider and pass S. Res.325 Epstein Transparency Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) objected.

SOLID 8-MINUTE INTERVIEW with @RepEscobar about Dignity Act 2.0 and the future of relief policies for migrants.
Today members of Congress did something unusual; a bipartisan group of legislators got together and introduced a comprehensive immigration reform bill. For @immcouncil.org's blog, I summarized the bill and flagged some changes from last Congress. Read the whole blog post below.
Our immigration system is broken and hasn’t been meaningfully updated in decades. That’s why today I introduced a comprehensive, bipartisan immigration reform bill known as the Dignity Act. 🧵 escobar.house.gov/news/documents…
