On today's Democratic Daily Download, @EqualityCaucus Chair @RepMarkTakano celebrates Pride Month! House Democrats will never stop fighting for freedom and equality for all Americans.

This four-year-old girl and her family should have never been caught in the middle of this literal life or death situation to begin with. I am thankful to my colleagues for joining me in urging @DHSgov @Sec_Noem to reverse her decision and keep this family in the United States to receive care. This situation is a prime example of the Trump Administration being unfit, unprepared, and unqualified to handle immigration policy decisions with empathy and compassion. No one should have to go through what this Administration just put this family through. We can, and must, do better to take care of our most vulnerable and defenseless.

I was a federal prosecutor for 10 years. I worked with ICE agents, who were dedicated patriots. I’ve never seen officers hide their faces. Trump is using authoritarian fear tactics to terrorize our immigrant communities. They are targeting people trying to enter the country lawfully, and they’re hiding behind masks because they’re ashamed.

On today’s Democratic Daily Download, @RepSylviaGarcia highlights how Republican cuts to SNAP in the One, Big Ugly Bill will strain our food banks and leave families in our communities behind.

Every year, I have the privilege of nominating students to represent our district at one of the five prestigious service academies in the nation.

Parents are welcome to attend too! To learn more and RSVP, click here ⤵️ juliabrownley.house.gov/serv…

On today’s Democratic Daily Download, @RepBeatty breaks down Trump’s One Big Ugly Bill — a nightmare ripping food and care from millions. House Republicans pushed it through while you were sleeping because they don’t want you to know what’s in it.

The Trump Administration hailed DOGE as the solution to eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse, with Elon Musk promising to slash $2 trillion in government spending. Now, Elon is walking away claiming he cut $150 billion – just 7.5% of what he promised – with no proof to back it up. Meanwhile, he burned through $135 billion in taxpayer dollars doing it. If anyone’s a fraud, it’s Elon Musk. And if we’re talking about abuse of power, Musk is the poster child – making false claims, wasting billions, and walking away with zero accountability. If the Trump Administration really wants to stop fraud, they need to start by addressing their own failures first. Oh, and by the way: Musk continues to pocket money from government contracts that total $8 million a day. washingtonpost.com/politics/…

On today’s Democratic Daily Download, @RepRobertGarcia discusses the GOP's latest attack on the American people, handing huge tax breaks for billionaires while slashing health care and basic needs programs for working class people. Democrats will keep fighting to stop this scam.

The Trump Administration’s decision to revoke humanitarian protections for a four-year-old girl in Bakersfield is heartbreaking and unconscionable. Two years ago, Sofia legally came to the U.S. so she could receive critical, around-the-clock care for a rare and life-threatening condition. Thanks to treatment at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, she’s been able to survive. But now, her family is facing deportation and putting her life in immediate danger. Revoking Sofia’s legal status in the U.S. and denying her access to medical care is a cruel and inhumane act that violates our most basic values. I’m calling on the Trump Administration to reverse its decision and allow Sofia and her family to stay in the U.S. on humanitarian grounds. Her life depends on it. latimes.com/politics/story/2…

On today's Democratic Daily Download, @USRepKCastor explains how the GOP Tax Scam will increase electric bills for families and small businesses by ripping away investments in clean energy.

On top of massive cuts to health care and food assistance, Republicans hid several provisions in their tax scam that will spell disaster for working families. On today’s Democratic Daily Download, @RepSalinas breaks down what the GOP doesn’t want you to know about their reckless bill.

“Though the debt we owe them can never be repaid, we must strive every day to live up to the principles they defended.” Today and every day, we honor our fallen and recommit ourselves to the enduring values of freedom and justice they stood for, and to protecting our democracy and American way of life they gave their lives to uphold. Their sacrifice calls on us to come together as a nation, to support our veterans and their families, and to carry forward their legacy with gratitude and resolve.

This week, Republicans tried to jam through their tax scam in the dead of night. Democrats fought back to expose this bill's cuts to Medicaid and SNAP.   In today’s Democratic Daily Download, @RepJeffries explains how we will keep standing up for hardworking American taxpayers.

For over 29 hours, @HouseDemocrats stood united against the GOP's tax scam. I joined my colleagues in the Rules Committee to call out the outrageous and shameful Medicaid cuts in this bill. Over 265,000 people in #VenturaCounty rely on Medicaid, and I won’t stop fighting to protect their care.

House Democrats spent all night on the House Floor fighting against the GOP Tax Scam that takes away health care and school meals from Americans to give billionaires and big corporations a tax break. @RepSaraJacobs breaks down what this bill means in today’s Democratic Daily Download.

As the House Rules Committee enters its 17th hour of considering one of the largest Republican rip-offs and redistributions of wealth, House Republicans are pushing a dangerous bill that would strip health care from nearly 14 million Americans and slash $300 billion from food assistance programs that 42 million people rely on – all to pay for tax breaks for billionaires. They called the meeting at 1:00 AM, hoping the American people wouldn’t notice. But @HouseDemocrats are still here. We’ve filed 537 amendments to defend the programs working families depend on. We’re fighting back, and we are not backing down. youtube.com/live/b9FdGjsN_bE…

I am deeply saddened by the passing of my colleague and dear friend, Congressman Gerry Connolly. A true public servant, Gerry spent every day working to improve the lives of all Americans and represented the very best of us in Congress. For decades, he was a steadfast advocate for his constituents in Northern Virginia. He will be remembered for his leadership, his fierce commitment to America’s federal workers, and his unwavering dedication to good governance and transparency. Gerry was a friend to all who knew him. He extended kindness to colleagues, constituents, staff, and even strangers throughout his time in Congress. It was an honor to serve alongside him. His remarkable service, his unique and unmistakable voice, and his unfailing friendship will be deeply missed. Gerry’s legacy lives on in the countless lives he touched. My heart is with his family, his staff, his friends, and everyone who had the privilege of serving with him as we grieve this tremendous loss.
