Congrats to Jennifer Heath for being elected to the county council as representative from district 2! #MichiganCity #InDems

REP. MASSIE (a Republican): “Trump will protect you if you vote the wrong way… if you vote to cover up for pedophiles — but I would remind my Republican colleagues this vote is going to be on your record longer than Trump is going to be president.”

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.

Democrats won't create the lasting change or tap into the rage of the majority with Schumer and Jeffries in the lead. Centrists won't get it done, no matter how the establishment wills it. The country has radically shifted. The last 10 years is your evidence.

Right, but my point is that whether or not Chicago is within the 100 mile zone is largely irrelevant for what the Border Patrol are doing in the city right now. They could be doing basically the same thing in the middle of Kansas.

Not ICE. Border Patrol. They’re wearing Border Patrol uniforms with clear Border Patrol patches on them. There are many videos of ICE officers doing outrageous stuff but a lot of the absolute worst videos are of Border Patrol, who are basically Bovino and Miller’s most aggressive tool right now.

🦏 Cutting $900bil from medicaid. 🦏 $2 Trillion in tax cuts for the richest people in the county. 🦏 Adding $2.4 Trillion to the national debt. 🦏 Intentionally starving the poor. Now they want to force a national abortion ban? The party of family values? Which family? Joseph Stalin's? #SNAP

Trump: "Hear me, President Trump, when I say this: to get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us."

AOC: “We have a future to plan for, we have a future to fight for, and we’re either gonna do that together or you’re going to be left behind… This is about: do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now, and the assignment is to come together across difference no matter what.”

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

The entire right-wing propaganda machine came after Zohran Mamdani. The president and his allies came after him. Democratic leaders, by and large, did not have his back until the last minute. He still won, turning out historic numbers and inspiring young voters. His politics can win anywhere.

WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger. Gen Z women aren't playing around.

Hundreds of thousands of Hoosiers will lose SNAP benefits TOMORROW. We're calling on Gov. Braun to keep Hoosiers from going hungry by funding Indiana food pantries throughout the federal government shutdown.

UPDATE: Two federal judges have ruled withholding SNAP benefits to be unlawful. Our caucus will continue to monitor the situation to ensure no Hoosier goes hungry due to the shutdown.

Thank you to all of the individuals who were able to attend one of our ongoing Community Conversations this past Saturday! If you were not able to attend and or have a follow up question, please feel free to contact my office anytime through my website here: mrvan.house.gov/contact

🚨 BREAKING: HOUSE DEMOCRATIC LEADER PHIL GIAQUINTA REACTS TO UPDATED SESSION TIMELINE, CALLS FOR ACTION ON COST OF LIVING 🚨

Calculate how much your health care premiums will go up in January if federal Republicans let health care assistance expire ❤️‍🩹⬇️

Organize. Organize. Organize. (And invest in the people through policy. Child care, healthcare, public transit, public safety)

When Andrew Cuomo loses today, it’ll show that it doesn’t matter how much money and propaganda you throw at an election—the people will always overcome.

Spanberger: To my husband, I love you with my whole heart. And it is very strange to declare my love for you in front of millions of people.

On top of taking food from the poor, now the Indiana GOP wants the president to sick the national guard on Hoosiers. Didn't we stand against Tyrants at one point? Now as long as they're Republican we love them? Nah. www.wthr.com/article/news...

The takeaway couldn’t be clearer: Hoosiers are united in saying no to redistricting this year. Let’s keep up the pressure and make sure lawmakers do what’s right and say no mid-decade map changes. #INForAll

Thank you to everyone who attended my "Fair Maps or No Deal" town hall this past weekend. The event was a huge success! Your energy, questions and commitment made it clear that Hoosiers are paying attention and care deeply about fairness and transparency in our democracy.

Pritzker: "Imagine it. Children who woke up that morning, expectant with joy & excitement to put on their costumes & celebrate with their neighbors in what they thought was a safe place at their homes. Armed, masked agents, terrorizing innocent people, especially children, is unconscionable."

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

If you've already called or emailed about redistricting, ask your friends and family all across our state to get in touch with their state reps and senators. It's all 150 legislators' jobs to listen to their constituents - so let's make sure they've heard from as many Hoosiers as possible!

Time for us to organize to show up Nov 3. @lpcdems.bsky.social apnews.com/article/indi...

This Sunday, we're phone banking to stand up against this hostile takeover of the Democratic process of this state. Please, join us.

🚨 BREAKING: Gov. Braun has called a special session to redraw IN's congressional maps. Hoosiers don't want new political maps. Hoosiers want their utility bills, property taxes, and health care costs fixed.

The oath we take is to serve Hoosiers & uphold the Constitution, not partisan interests. Gov. Braun’s call for a special session to redraw maps mid-decade breaks that oath and erodes public trust. Hoosiers deserve fairness, transparency & a democracy that honors every voice.

Why are we letting D.C. elites order us around when Indiana's cost of living is skyrocketing? Instead of spending taxpayer $ on a fake problem, our state should focus on making life more affordable for Hoosiers. Property taxes, utility bills, and healthcare costs need fixing!

As working families are facing skyrocketing energy costs, the loss of health care and food assistance programs, rising local taxes, and cuts to public safety, it’s unsurprising that Gov Braun has chosen to convene a special session on mid-decade redistricting at the request of President Trump.

Find your legislator and their contact information here: iga.in.gov/information/...

Call the statehouse switchboard. We've been hearing certain representatives are leaving their phones off the hook.

Call Braun. Call your representative.

So it looks like Braun is going to call the special session. He is covering his ass and doing what the boss (Trump) told him to do. Please call him and remind him He Works for Hoosiers, not the orange turd! Let your State Reps and Senators know Hoosiers Don't Cheat! @lpcdems.bsky.social

Reminder for middle and high school students: The deadline to submit an entry to the Congressional App Challenge is next week on Thursday, October 30, 2025.  Additional details below. mrvan.house.gov/congressiona...

I’m ready, willing, and able to find a bipartisan solution to open government, make sure people get paid, and make sure people have access to healthcare.

I’ve often talked to you about how steel is a national security issue.  Well the fact of the matter is, so is farming.  In Northwest Indiana and Indiana it is the heartbeat of our economy.

Hoosiers need a special session to bring down utility bills, not a special session to redraw political maps. Our state leaders should focus on helping you get by, not helping themselves out.

We're staying vigilant.

Grateful to be able to speak earlier this week on WLTH Radio in Gary on the current issues of the day. I will continue to do my utmost to stand with the people of Northwest Indiana and advocate for affordable healthcare and economic opportunity for everyone.

Exciting Update❗ This Saturday at Michigan City City Hall, I’ll be hosting a town hall to discuss the mid-decade attempt to redraw Indiana’s Congressional maps. I’m thrilled to announce that newly sworn-in Rep. Randy Novak will be joining me as co-host! I hope to see you all there! #INForAll

Honored to join stakeholders across Northwest Indiana to celebrate the official certification of the My Brother’s Keeper Alliance in Lake County. I applaud this initiative and look forward to its continued success for the youth and next generation of leaders in our region.

State Senator Rodney Pol will be in Michigan City discussing the insane redistricting attempt by the INGOP this Saturday! 10-25-25 @ 10am!

Welcome, State Representative Randy Novak! "Public service has been my life’s passion. I’ve always believed in working hard, staying accountable and putting people first. I’m committed to representing our community with integrity, transparency and a common-sense approach." - Rep. Novak

Congrats Randy!
