.@POTUS' action to designate Baaj Nwaavjo I'tah Kukveni honored the struggle of Indigenous peoples who sought to protect these sacred lands. Yesterday was a day of remembrance and recognition for generations of those who fought and advocated to preserve them. My full remarks⬇️
A statement from the Office of Raúl M. Grijalva.
President Trump’s latest reckless decision to fire thousands of employees at the Department of Education jeopardizes critical student aid programs, weakens protections for students’ civil rights, and undermines essential support for students with disabilities. This move severely…
Corporate profits are at an all time high but a majority of Americans are still underpaid. The bipartisan #PROAct protects and strengthens the basic right of American to stand together and negotiate higher wages, better benefits, and safer working conditions. My full statement…
Millionaire earners stop paying into Social Security today. They should pay in ALL year long on ALL of their income, just like the rest of us. Then, we can protect and expand benefits! #ScrapTheCap
Last night, Trump demonized the LGBTQI+ community with lie after lie about lifesaving medical care, trans servicemembers, foreign aid funding, & more. We see through his lies. Americans see through his lies. The world sees through his lies. And we're standing up for truth.
In true form, President Trump spent the entirety of his Joint Address lying to Americans that his last six weeks burning the U.S. government to the ground will some how benefit them. Read my full statement on last night's Joint Address. grijalva.house.gov/rep-grijalva-b…
In only in Trump’s reality is America back again… ➡️ Rising costs of living everyday for our working and middles class. ➡️ The slashing of crucial government agencies & programs hardworking Americans rely on. ➡️ Constant attacks to our immigrant and LGBTQIA+ communities. ➡️…
The reality is that in the 43 days he’s been in office, Trump has illegally stolen funds promised to the American people, killed crucial government programs, and is weakening our healthcare system.
ABOLISH DOGE. ABOLISH DOGE. ABOLISH DOGE.
Trump proudly just listed all the ways in which his policies will create dirtier air and water, and threaten our children and grandchildren's future. He just doesn't care. #JointAddress
Trump’s words do not match his actions. He claims to care for the working class, yet has actively plotted against them, threatening to tear away critical programs such as Medicare and Social Security. #SOTU #DemocraticResponse
“America is back,” says the man who betrayed our allies, raised costs for families, and fired veterans. The only thing Trump is bringing back is chaos and broken promises. #StateOfTheUnion
What Trump won’t say at #SOTU: - Why he let Musk fire thousands of firefighters - Why he’s gutting our National Parks and ruining family vacations - Why his billionaire friends are getting richer while you get left behind
President Trump’s attempt to shutter the Consumer Finance Protection Board (CFPB) shows his determination to steal hard-earned money from the American people and reward billionaire donors and big corporations. The CFPB has saved families $21 billion. The American people cannot…
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau uncovered $21 billion of cheating and returned it directly to Americans. That little agency is proof that we can make the government work for people. Trump and Musk want to take that away, but we won't stop fighting to protect it.
Every American who's able & willing to serve should be allowed to. President Trump's decision to oust servicemembers JUST because they're trans is dangerous, unconstitutional, and threatens our military's readiness.
Late last night, DoD issued guidance on how to implement Trump's ban on qualified & capable people serving in the military--just because they're trans. This ban is morally wrong, unconstitutional, and stupid. Full statement from CEC Chair @RepMarkTakano at the link in our bio.
Gutting the CFPB and tanking a rule that keeps medical debt off credit scores is unacceptable. I’m leading my colleagues in saying loud and clear: Protect this consumer watchdog & protect RIers from the crippling weight of medical debt.
This week, roughly 4,400 U.S. National Park Service and Forest Service employees lost their jobs. These are dedicated public servants who are committed to safeguarding our treasured public lands and historic places. They clean and maintain the parks, conduct search and rescue…
