“We are here to build, not tear down, our shared future. Muchas gracias.” - Congresswoman Grijalva, AZ-07 💪

This “deal” that came from the Senate is an absolute sham. My vote is “Hell No.”

JUST IN: Nearly 2 months after her election, Adelita Grijalva still hasn’t been seated. Chair @repespaillat.bsky.social again calls on Speaker Johnson to act immediately, sending a letter earlier this morning demanding her swearing-in.

Out now, "Tu Caucus" Season 2 Episode 1: Adelita With @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social and @repespaillat.bsky.social youtu.be/JM-0ReU_uwU?...

My statement on the Retirement of Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi

In yesterday’s elections, the American people made clear that they are sick of the Republican agenda that is keeping the government shut down and jacking up costs for health care and everything else.

This is urban warfare. I spoke with MSNBC’s @theweekendprime.bsky.social about the Trump administration’s ongoing assault on American cities, including the latest in NYC. See the full segment here:

This morning, members of the @hispaniccaucus.bsky.social and @democrats-judiciary.house.gov are holding a field hearing in Chicago to shine a light on Trump's assault on this great American city. We are keeping tabs and we will have accountability. Watch here:

Speaker Johnson, what happened? 2024: No more CRs 2025: The Democrats have no choice but to vote for the CR we made

(1/2) It’s unconscionable that Donald Trump is focused on tearing down the White House as health care tax credits will expire for 22 million Americans, bailing out Argentina for $40 billion while farmers in America face bankruptcy,

Wishing all New Yorkers a joyous Diwali. May your holiday be filled with joy and light!

Same message, different day. Americans know Republicans are responsible for the shutdown. Break the cycle, bring the House back, and negotiate a way to open the government without ripping affordable healthcare away from millions of American families.

My statement on the Trump administration’s indictment of New York Attorney General Letitia James

A federal judge confirmed what we already knew: ICE’s warrantless arrests in Chicago broke the law. The @hispaniccaucus.bsky.social is keeping watch and demanding accountability.

Thank you Governor Hochul for recognizing Hispanic Heritage Month and the impact of Latino communities to our state. I look forward to continuing our fight to ensure protections and opportunities for all who call New York home.

Democrats are holding the line. We remain willing to meet anywhere and anytime to negotiate a bipartisan government funding agreement that meets the needs of the American people and addresses the health care crisis. Until then, Republicans own every day of this shutdown.

This is the GOP plan: kick Americans off of their healthcare plans, raise premiums, and threaten public servants for being public servants. Healthcare and mortgages don’t care about government shutdowns, and apparently neither do House Republicans (otherwise they’d be in DC).

Two weeks too long. Chair @repespaillat.bsky.social has called on Speaker Johnson to do his job — seat Rep.-elect Grijalva. Act now.

How much do you want to bet they’re pushing it off because she’ll be the 218th signature on the Epstein files discharge petition?

The Trump administration is making the most brazen attack on working-class New Yorkers and neighbors in Harlem by targeting the Second Avenue Subway funding. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/01/n...

The White House’s decision to threaten the Gateway Project and Second Avenue Subway, our nation’s most critical infrastructure projects, is another exhibit of the reckless partisanship and bad governance that triggered this Republican government shutdown. espaillat.house.gov/media/press-...

Despite the shutdown, my staff and I will continue working on your behalf and will remain available to assist you as usual–although we may not be able to get answers from federal agencies that are experiencing closures or staff furloughs.

Families across my district will be adversely affected by the existing Republican plan for funding the government. I have and am prepared to continue to vote “no” on any legislation that fails to restore the funding for healthcare coverage in my district.

With just a day left before the government funding deadline, Democrats are ready, willing, and able to reach a bipartisan agreement to keep the government open while lowering health care costs for everyday Americans, including the nearly 12,000 constituents in my district.

No matter what wool they try to pull over your eyes, Republicans own any government shutdown.

We are immensely proud of our colleagues recognized in this year's @thehill staffers who make Capitol Hill run.

(1/2)🚨 Nearly 5 million English Learners across the U.S. are at risk. The Administration’s decision to roll back protections and dismantle support programs undermines decades of civil rights law.

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! We are celebrating the rich and vibrant culture of Hispanic communities across the nation and recognizing their invaluable contributions to our nation’s history and society.

The Trump administration is QUIETLY KILLING DACA. Immigrant youth are our teachers, neighbors, farmworkers, and parents. They contribute billions to our economy. We will not stay silent as this administration dismantles DACA. #ProtectDACA

Bookmark this for future reference: House control -> Republicans Senate control -> Republicans White House control -> Republicans Just putting this here as we head straight towards a government shutdown. Make sure everyone you know sees this.

The Epstein coverup is real, and the White House is pulling all stops to distract Americans from seeking the truth. This is how accountability dies, and how Trump seems to get away with everything. Not this time 🧵

Why is Trump so scared of releasing the Epstein files?

We owe it to all of our students to address the horrific gun violence that continues to impact communities around our nation. These tragedies are unacceptable and unconscionable as a nation. We need ACTION NOW.

The Second Avenue Subway extension is one step closer to realization and I’m proud to have secured funding for a project of this magnitude that will deliver subway service to residents of East Harlem, one of the most transit-dependent neighborhoods in New York City. This is a generational win 💯

The Trump Administration is doing everything it can to attack Hispanic communities across the nation from every angle possible. We will not sit idly by.

Big win for East Harlem 🗽! Supported by Congestion Pricing, the @mta.info is extending the 2nd Ave Sub — bringing cleaner/faster transit to 110,000+ riders every day. Thx @governor.ny.gov & @repespaillat.bsky.social for this long-awaited step toward equity, climate progress & community investment!

Over the weekend, Chair @repespaillat.bsky.social joined the Reencuentro Taíno Conference on #IndigenousPeoplesDay to honor the living legacy of the Taíno & Indigenous peoples worldwide. Their language, culture & history live on in our words, traditions & fight for justice. Pa’lante siempre.

Read my letter to the CDC urging support and oversight to curb future Legionnaires’ disease clusters in New York City and parts of my district. My office will continue to monitor this situation and guidance for best practices for prevention to ensure community safety.

For 60 years, Medicaid and Medicare have been vital lifelines to help Americans in every zip code access high-quality, affordable health care. However, Trump’s Big Ugly Bill will cause more than 15 million people to lose their health care and make health care costs skyrocket for millions more.

HISTORIC MOVE: CHC Members are suing DHS—the first-ever lawsuit from Members of Congress against the Trump administration this Congress. Why? Because obstruction of oversight, mass detention, and abuse of power cannot go unchecked.

Unsurprisingly, many economists are predicting the Big Ugly Bill to be a disaster for future generations. We have a responsibility to leave the world better than we found it, but thanks to Republicans in Congress, that seems to be improbable.

Our hearts are with the families in Texas who lost loved ones and all those impacted by the devastating flooding this weekend. We’re holding the entire community in our thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time.

Donald Trump’s One Big Ugly Bill: ❌ 17M lose health care ❌ Families go hungry ❌ Costs go UP for everyone ✅ Billionaires get tax breaks Why would anyone vote for this?

As we celebrate 56 years since #Stonewall, we must also recommit to the fight for equality.
