Note to Trump and his Republican sycophants: Taking healthcare and food away from Americans does not make America great or healthy again.

Trump's pre-election propaganda campaign is a desperate attempt to make people love him and the GOP despite everything they have done to make life more costly and difficult for Americans. To make taxpayers pay to air this garbage is yet another abuse of power.

Fourteen months after going dark because the Trump Administration cruelly cut its services, the dedicated 988 LGBTQI+ Youth Crisis Line has finally been restored. It's critical that LGBTQI+ youth who call the crisis line are able to speak with someone who is specially trained to meet their unique needs. Thank you to @SenatorBaldwin and my @EqualityCaucus colleagues for their efforts to restore this lifesaving resource.
šGREAT NEWSš
988 has resumed specialized services for LGBTQI+ youth in crisis after Congress forced the Trump Admin to restore these lifesaving services.
Trump cruelly cut these servicesābut CEC founder @SenatorBaldwin and our members fought back, and got them restored!
ALT Equality Caucus celebrates return of 988's specialized services for LGBTQI+ youth in crisis. Read more at the link in our bio.
ALT āFor years, young LGBTQI+ people in crisis could turn to the 988 hotline for help from someone specially trained to meet their unique needs, but the Trump Administration made a cruel, conscious choice to cut those services last year. Now, thanks to the work of Congressional Equality Caucus Founder Senator Tammy Baldwin and our members, 988ās specialized services for LGBTQI+ youth in crisis have finally resumed. The bill mandating the restoration of these services became law in Februaryāit should never have taken this long for the Administration to restore these lifesaving services. They dragged their feet however they could, even though they knew young LGBTQI+ people out there were in crisis. As we celebrate the restoration of these services, we will continue fighting to pass bipartisan legislationāled by CEC Vice Chair Krishnamoorthi, Co-Chair Davids, and Rep. Moulton in the Houseāto ensure this lifeline never goes dark again.ā Rep. Mark Takano, hair of the Congressional Equality

Israeli settlements are illegal land grabs that are violently displacing Palestinians from their homes. The US must use our leverage to stop settlement expansion and attempted annexation of the West Bank. I support @JoaquinCastrotx's bill to crack down on these illegal settlements and those who facilitate their construction and expansion.
Under Netanyahuās government, settlers are engaged in a violent land grab thatās ripping Palestinians from their land.
Sanctions can help stop it.
The Stop the Settlements Act gives any person or company looking to take Palestinian land in the West Bank or Gaza a choice: if you pursue settlements, you canāt do business with the United States.

Starting Oct. 22, a new Trump Admin rule could disrupt Americansā ability to get lifesaving, affordable medications from licensed pharmacies abroad. @RepSchakowsky and I led 71 Members of Congress in calling on the administration to protect Americans' access to affordable meds.

Salah Sarsour is a legal resident of the United States, has lived here more than 30 years, and is a pillar of the Milwaukee community. Yet he is being threatened for deportation for no apparent reason other than his advocacy on behalf of Palestinian rights.

ProPublica just reshared this 2021 story from its archives, and it is as true now as it ever was. The Trump Administration has only made life more cushy for its billionaire buddies. Democrats believe in tax fairness and put workers and families first. Billionaires must pay their fair share.

Life is far more expensive for Americans who are not billionaire buddies of the GOP.
Yet the Trump Administration and Republicans who prop up its corruption are wasting millions of your taxpayer dollars on absurd vanity projects for Trump, countless luxury golf trips, and now running taxpayer-funded ads hoping you'll forget the GOP's failures.

The thousands of beagles confined in inhumane conditions at Ridglan Farms was a wake-up call, for our community and the country. We also witnessed what is possible when people come together to demand change. This legislation honors that commitment.

Now Trump wants to pick your major in college if you need a student loan. If your career doesn't make enough money to please him, he apparently wants to end it before it even begins.

Healthcare is a right and access to abortion is part of healthcare.
Today's #InternationalSafeAbortionDay is also the 26th anniversary of the FDA approval of Mifepristone, which has been found to be safe and effective. We must keep fighting back against efforts to take away access to safe and essential healthcare.

We live in a country under Republicans and Trump where working people are barely getting paid enough to survive while the ones getting big raises are the CEOs who take more money than they know what to spend it on.
Inequality is warping our economy and society.

Rep. Quigley and I led a letter signed by 41 members of Congress calling on Secretary Rubio to work with Israel to ensure the release of Palestinian healthcare workers. They are arbitrarily being detained without formal charges or due process.

The ongoing detention of Palestinian medical workers does further harm to Gazaās already devastated healthcare, further eroding access to care in the West Bank. The doctors and healthcare workers are being held in deplorable conditions which threatens their own health and safety.
Release these Palestinian medics now!

Members of Congress and presidents, who can influence the stock market with a single sentence, need to be banned from trading stocks because we have access to confidential information. Using our public service for personal financial gain is called corruption, plain and simple.

I am glad to work with Rep. Langworthy on this important legislation
Dogs and cats are living, feeling animals, not laboratory equipment. I'm proud to sponsor the bipartisan Companion Animal Protection Against Cruel Testing (COMPACT) Act. This stops @HHSGov taxpayer dollars from funding biomedical research using live dogs and cats. Your tax dollars should never fund this caged cruelty. This is an important issue that unites Republicans and Democrats.
