Today, we brought together lawmakers, advocates, caregivers, and experts for the first-ever Dads Caucus National Summit on the Caregiving Crisis.    Because the truth is simple: care is the backbone of our economy, and families shouldn’t have to carry it alone.

Millions of aging Americans and people with disabilities want to live independently but can’t access the care they need.    Rep. Horsford moderated a panel on expanding home and community-based services so people can age and live with dignity in their own communities.

No one should have to choose between their job and caring for the people they love.    Rep. Pettersen moderated a discussion on building a national paid family and medical leave program so every worker can take time to care for a new child, a sick family member, or themselves.

Aging Americans and people with disabilities deserve the dignity of living safely and comfortably in their own homes.    We need real solutions to bring down costs and make home- and community-based care affordable for the millions of Americans who depend on it.

Care workers hold our communities together, yet too many are underpaid and undervalued.  I moderated a conversation on strengthening the care workforce by improving wages, benefits, and career pathways across child care, home care, and health care.

70% of private-sector workers still don’t have access to paid leave.    Having a baby, caring for a sick parent, or recovering from an illness shouldn’t push families out of their jobs or into debt.

Child care costs are skyrocketing, and families are paying the price.    Rep. Derek Tran led a panel on expanding access to high-quality early childhood education and lowering costs so parents can work while knowing their kids are safe, learning, and thriving.

63 million Americans provide family caregiving, not as a profession, but out of love and responsibility for their families.    They shouldn’t have to do it alone. It’s time to build a system that supports caregivers the way they support the people they love.

Care touches every family in America, but our economy still treats it like an afterthought.    At the National Summit on the Caregiving Crisis, I moderated a conversation on how caregiving shapes our economy and what policies we need to make life easier for families.

HAPPENING NOW: Members of Congress are speaking out on America’s caregiving crisis. From child care costs to the need for paid family leave, the Dads Caucus National Summit press conference is laying out the path forward. Watch live ⬇️ www.youtube.com/live/8AET6Vs...

Each year, the cost of child care pushes 134,000 American families into poverty.    It’s past time to expand access to high-quality child care and lower the costs that are forcing parents to choose between staying in the workforce and caring for their kids.

If you want to know what Republicans actually prioritize, don't listen to what they say, watch what they do. They launch foreign wars, push tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy, and put programs like Medicaid and SNAP, lifelines for millions of working Americans, on the chopping block.

You can’t bullsh*t your way out of a war. When the story keeps changing, people stop believing what they’re told.

Toddlers = master negotiators My son is 3½ and already negotiating like a pro.

My 3-year-old had the same idea last week.

Americans are being SLAMMED by the affordability crisis in this country. Many families spend nearly 60% of their monthly budget on housing and childcare alone. On March 17, the Dads Caucus is bringing together advocates & leaders for the first-ever National Summit on the Caregiving Crisis.

My 3-year-old son had the same idea last week.

Even Trump can't remember his own reasons for this war with Iran. He's getting people killed and shifting the narrative all while Americans continue to struggle at home.

“It’s not just a question of affordability, many families have no choice.” That’s how Rep. Schneider describes the caregiving crisis in America. Parents across the country are spending a third to half of their income just on daycare so they can go to work, and the cost of raising kids rising.

Even Trump’s own MAGA party is calling out this tragedy.

7 dead. 140+ injured. And Republicans are silent. The longer they refuse to act, the more American service members will pay the price. All because they won’t stand up to a President who launched a war of choice with no clear rationale and no exit strategy.

Trump's unhinged war of choice with Iran is coming home to roost. Oil prices have skyrocketed, and things are getting so bad that even Fox News can't figure out how to spin it.

Hate in its purest form. Every Republican must condemn Andy’s bigotry. He doesn’t deserve to hold public office.

Trump’s war with Iran is a war of choice. Americans won't support risking our service members' lives when the commander and chief can't even explain why we're at war in the first place.

Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth, and everyone in this administration lied to the American people. And we’re going to expose it. Period.

BREAKING: 92,000 jobs LOST in February, but here’s Trump LYING to the country that “we can’t stop winning.”

92,000 jobs LOST in February, but here’s Trump LYING to the country that “we can’t stop winning.”

The moment you hear ICE Barbie got FIRED.

Trump fired DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and replaced her with a Senator who once said kids born in the U.S. should be deported alongside their parents. Every senator who votes to confirm him owns the consequences.

A new name on the office door doesn’t change the agenda. I won’t vote to give DHS another dollar while they keep targeting people as guilty before proven innocent based on how they look, their accent, or the job they do.

I support the Iran War Powers Resolution because Americans deserve the truth, and Congress must have a say before our country is dragged into another forever war with Iran. This is a war of choice disguised as a war of necessity.

The truth is the Trump administration doesn’t want Congress or the American people to know what’s really going on.

As working families struggle to afford groceries, healthcare, and housing, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem is spending MILLIONS of taxpayer filers to fly around in fancy private jets with fully furnished bedrooms. This entire administration is as corrupt and out of touch as it gets.

NEW. Rep. Jimmy Gomez, a Democratic member of the House intelligence committee, tells me that if the Ds win the midterm, there's likely to be an investigation of the Iran intelligence and Trump's misuse/use of it. He says: “There are things we have to look at that people don’t even know about.”

Kristi lied, Cricket died.

After COVID rent protections were lifted in Florida, @frost.house.gov says his rent shot up 33% in a single month, pricing him out of his apartment. He ended up sleeping on friends’ couches, in his car, and staying late at the office just to have somewhere safe to rest.

My heart is with the loved ones of the three American service members killed. Their families are grieving tonight because of a decision that never came before Congress for a vote. The American people deserve a say before their sons and daughters are sent into war.

What Trump promised vs what we got.

When asked about skyrocketing U.S. banana prices caused by Trump’s reckless tariffs, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said that if bananas were "build in America," there wouldn’t be tariffs. News flash: more than 90% of the bananas Americans eat are imported from Central and South America.

CBP abandoned a blind father at a donut shop miles from his home with no notice to his family. He died trying to make his way back home in freezing temperatures. You don’t leave a blind man in freezing cold unless you’ve decided his life doesn’t matter. CBP made that decision.

America was built by immigrants. When we see the Trump administration’s lawless attacks on immigrant communities, it shows us that America has lost its way. It’s time to get back on track and focus on what really makes America great.

I’m proud of my team and grateful to our partners at the Women’s March Foundation for helping us host a powerful Legal Observer Info Session. This work is about community and making sure no one stands alone. If you’re interested in the next one sign up here: gomez.house.gov/forms/form/?...

Americans are desperate for real solutions that stop Trump’s deportation machine and build a better future for working families. I introduced the Make Housing Affordable and Defend Democracy Act, which takes away Trump’s $175 billion DHS slush fund and puts that money where it belongs: housing.

Two hours later, and Trump didn't mention Epstein once. To the survivors in the room, it was a reminder of who he protects and who he forgets.

I can see JD sweatin’ from here.

"strange things happen" = you lost

Trump's glazing his shitty tariffs again. Reminder: the trade deficit increased under Trump.
