The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

You just know that “Did Women Ruin the Workplace?” bit would have done NUMBERS in this little clique

AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social : A swastika is one of the clearest symbols of hatred in all of humanity… to remove that designation… indicates a possible collaboration with those very elements, which I think is genuinely frightening to any American.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

[email protected] : Were you satisfied with the answers you’ve gotten so far in this classified briefing on Venezuela? AOC: Oh, hell no. It was a joke. This was not a serious intelligence briefing. This was the communication of an opinion.

Washington’s refusal to regulate AI is a corruption story. Just ask Donald Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson.

AIPAC also knows this. That’s why none of their political ads discuss their actual issue at all and why they use vaguely named Super PACs so people don’t connect them with their own stated political mission and intent.

place themselves at odds with our responsibility to represent the electorate and the views of the majority of Americans, who find the genocide in Gaza an appalling affront to American values and do not want to see US taxpayer funded weapons used to perpetuate it.

I hope Dems begin to see that moderate or progressive, AIPAC is not our friend. They endorse January 6th insurrectionists. Yet if you so much as suggest the US uphold its own Leahy laws, no matter your record, they will work against you.

Ocasio gang rise up 🙌🏽🇵🇷

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Not only were the files that were supposed to be made available to Members of Congress still redacted, but we also learned that Pam Bondi has been keeping track of what Members have reviewed. Clearly, this is one big cover-up led by Pam.

Let’s be clear: these protections help keep our air breathable, our water drinkable, and our communities healthy. However, Trump decided to prioritize the interests of fossil fuel companies over the health and safety of Americans. Climate change isn't a scam; he is. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/c...

This isn’t “government efficiency”. It’s neglect—plain and simple.  Our communities deserve far better than an administration that treats their lives as an afterthought. (3/3)

For 36 years, leaders from both parties have recognized this day. But this year, Donald Trump didn’t think it was even worth a few minutes of his time. Instead, his administration is slashing lifesaving funding and stripping essential resources from the very people who depend on them.   (2/3)

Today is World AIDS Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness and supporting the individuals, families, and communities impacted by HIV.   (1/3)

Trump and Republicans promised to lower costs on day one—and as we can see, that was a lie. Prices shot up, and health care will spike again because they refuse to extend the ACA credits. Now they claim “affordability” is a con job. Since when is feeding your family or seeing a doctor a scam?

Rep. Crockett’s Statement on the Supreme Court’s Ruling on Texas’s 2026 Map

You don’t need to be a Democrat to know this is wrong — you just need a conscience. If you can hear what these people survived in ICE custody and feel no outrage, then we are not standing on the same side of right and wrong.

This is about truth and justice—for victims and survivors. These subpoenaed photos from the Epstein estate are deeply disturbing and raise serious questions about who knew what, and when—which is exactly why the files need to be released. The Epstein Files Act is law. Trump can release them today.

We all deserve to live in a world where we feel safe to learn, worship, and gather in community. The violence must stop. (2/2)

Violence has no place in our communities — whether it happens here at home or across the world. What we saw this weekend is heartbreaking, and my thoughts are with the victims and their loved ones. (1/2)

If you’re telling Head Start programs they can’t say “disability”, “Black”, “female”, or “Tribal” in order to get funded—you don’t care about kids. Period. This administration is attacking the very protections that keep children safe and supported. Our kids are not political props.

218 members signed the discharge petition to force a vote to extend ACA tax credits. If Speaker Johnson refuses to bring forth the vote, he’s telling the American people loud and clear that rising health care costs are acceptable to him.

Trump’s immigration agenda is rooted in racism. Ending Temporary Protected Status for predominantly Black and Brown nations tells you exactly who this administration is targeting. Racism is not immigration policy, and we deserve better.

We have the signatures needed to bring a vote to extend the ACA tax credits—but MAGA Mike is canceling votes for the rest of the week, turning his back on the American people. Millions of Americans will soon see their health care premiums skyrocket because Republicans refuse to do their job.

Today is the deadline to release the Epstein files. The DOJ is refusing to comply. This is about justice for survivors and holding participants and co-conspirators accountable. The Epstein Files Act is the law, not a suggestion. Release the files. Immediately.

They ignored a lawful subpoena, recycled public records, and conveniently left out Donald Trump. This is not transparency.

Did Trump’s DOJ really think dropping hundreds of blacked-out pages counted as complying with the law? I know it’s a bunch of unqualified folks with no backbone over there, but this is next-level.

The Epstein Transparency Act is the law. Clearly, this DOJ is willing to defy it to protect Donald Trump and the rich and powerful. The survivors deserve truth and justice. Release the files.

Tonight, I’m hosting my final telephone town hall of the year. This is your chance to ask questions, share concerns, and be part of the conversation. I hope you’ll join us.

Wishing you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas and a season filled with peace, joy, and love.

Look, everything about Trump and his Administration has made it harder for the American people. Costs are up. Jobs are gone. People are fed up.

Clocked in all year. Prepared. Unafraid. Always with the receipts. Keeping that same energy all 2026.

Trump promised no “new stupid wars,” yet he’s starting one with Venezuela without congressional approval. People can’t afford groceries and millions are losing healthcare, but this is where his focus is. This is unconstitutional and not what the American people asked for.

Since then, Trump and his allies have tried to deny the facts and whitewash the truth. I will not be complicit in lies designed to protect his ego and escape accountability. (2/2)

Five years ago today, Donald Trump incited a violent insurrection to overturn the results of a free and fair election he lost. Calling it anything else is a lie. (1/2)

I’m saddened to hear of the passing of Congressman Doug LaMalfa. I extend my condolences to his family, loved ones, staff, and constituents as they grieve this loss. Wishing them comfort and strength during this time.

If Republicans REALLY cared about fraud, they’d start with the billions being funneled to donors, billionaires, and Trump’s businesses—instead of using hearings to distract us while they rip healthcare from working families.

ICE just murdered a U.S. citizen. This violence is the direct result of racist rhetoric coming from Donald Trump and his allies. This is dangerous state-sanctioned violence. We will not stay silent while unqualified masked federal agents terrorize our communities.

Renee Good was murdered in broad daylight, and Republicans are acting as if it is ok. Where is your decency? Where is your humanity? When will y’all develop a backbone and actually represent the people that sent you here?

It’s a shame that this is something that had to be forced because MAGA Republicans keep putting politics over people instead of actually governing. (2/2)

Last month, House Democrats forced a vote to extend the ACA tax credits for three years—and today, it passed. Millions of families depend on these tax credits to afford healthcare. (1/2)

Congratulations to the men of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. on 112 years of brotherhood, scholarship, and service. Your legacy continues to make an impact.

If you’re looking for champions, look to TX-30! I was honored to celebrate South Oak Cliff and DeSoto High School Football teams on the House floor for their incredible championship seasons. Go Bears and go Eagles!

The DOJ has smoke for Jerome Powell, but none for the people in the Epstein files? 👀 Also, investigating possible criminal activity everywhere except the White House? Bold move, Pamela.

113 years later and Delta women are still on the frontlines — organizing, advocating, serving, and leading. I am beyond thankful for this amazing sisterhood, and the legacy that we continue to build! Happy Founders Day to my Sorors of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc! 🔺
