The Progressive Caucus
The voice of progressives in Congress since 1991. Fighting for working families over corporate interests. Advancing racial and social justice. Working for peace. ✊
- Deputy Chair @repilhan.bsky.social : “Trump’s invasion of Venezuela is blatantly illegal and unconstitutional. He has no authority to deploy U.S. forces into foreign countries to bomb them, capture heads of state, and overthrow governments in regime-change wars.”
- Reposted by The Progressive CaucusWe now have a bipartisan majority of members of Congress demanding a vote to extend ACA tax credits and keep health care affordable for all Americans. Speaker Johnson, bring this legislation to the House Floor immediately or step out of the way.
- Reposted by The Progressive CaucusCongress went home without extending the Affordable Care Act tax credits. Now, over 20 million people are going to see their health insurance costs more than double. Everything is already expensive. Working families can’t afford this health care crisis. wapo.st/3L96AVy
- Reposted by The Progressive CaucusFor a GOP president—after the Iraq War—to say outright that invading Venezuela is all about oil is wild. But it is. It’s also about corruption, power, graft, and land. And we should take him at his word. @msnowevents.bsky.social
- Reposted by The Progressive CaucusI joined @cnn.com to discuss the release of the videos of boat strikes.
- Reposted by The Progressive CaucusThis will definitely help the economy.
- Reposted by The Progressive CaucusToday 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.
- CPC Deputy Chair @repilhan.bsky.social: "Today’s vote on House Republicans’ warmed-over partisan policies was a disgrace. It did nothing to protect the 22 million Americans who will see their monthly premiums double on average."
- “We demand that Speaker Johnson keep the House in session to schedule a vote to pass a clean, three-year extension of Affordable Care Act tax credits to provide ordinary Americans with the healthcare they need.”
- If Johnson could move heaven and earth to deliver tax cuts to the richest and most powerful donors to Trump and the Republican Party, he can keep the House open to protect millions of Americans’ healthcare and which now has support from the majority of Congress.”
- “The CPC will not stop fighting for affordable healthcare and more importantly, insurance that will move us away from a privatized for-profit system. The real solution to this crisis is a truly universal system, like Medicare for All, that provides healthcare as a human right.”
- CPC Deputy Chair @repilhan.bsky.social: “Tonight’s razor-thin, 211-to-213 vote on the bipartisan War Powers Resolution to end these illegal hostilities puts Trump on notice. America has no kings, and Trump has no mandate to push his unconstitutional military campaign against Venezuela."
- “Nearly a quarter-century ago, the American people were misled by a lawless president promoting lies about weapons of mass destruction, all to invade an oil-rich country that posed no threat to us. Trump is pursuing the same course today in Venezuela.
- "If Trump continues to carry out oil-tanker seizures, impose a naval blockade and put U.S. servicemembers in harm’s way for an illegal regime-change war, he can surely expect a vote to immediately stop this disastrous conflict. The Progressive Caucus is committed to its passage."
- NEW: The Progressive Caucus announces the creation of the Rebuilding and Reimagining Government Taskforce led by CPC Vice Chair @repbonnie.bsky.social to restore federal agencies gutted by Trump and also develop bold ideas to ensure that they better deliver for ordinary people.
- Reposted by The Progressive CaucusHanukkah is a story of resilience and hope. After the horrific attack in Australia this weekend, we need that light now more than ever. We can do better. We must do better.
- Reposted by The Progressive CaucusNot extending ACA subsidies means millions of our people will have to choose between seeing the doctor and buying groceries or paying rent. GOP cruelty is not good for public health.
- Reposted by The Progressive CaucusI’m saddened and shocked by the loss of Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele. Rob’s films shaped generations, and together they gave so much back to LA through their philanthropy & unwavering commitment to democracy. Our hearts are with their loved ones during this devastating time.
- Reposted by The Progressive CaucusHorrific terrorist attack in Australia that killed at least 15 innocent people as they celebrated the first night of Hanukkah. Joy and community should never be shattered with such terror.
- Reposted by The Progressive CaucusMany states have recognized the harm of seclusion and inappropriate restraint in the classroom and banned these practices, but this remains an issue that requires a federal solution. Our Keeping All Students Safe Act would enact critical protections for students.
- Reposted by The Progressive CaucusTrump’s trade war is hitting small businesses especially hard: more than 2,200 entrepreneurs and small firms have filed for bankruptcy this year, up 8% from last year, “Trump’s economy is in free fall,” says our @alexsjacquez.bsky.social. 🔗: groundworkcollaborative.org/news/consume...
- Reposted by The Progressive CaucusChag Sameach, #MA7! Wishing a bright first night of Hanukkah to all! May these next eight nights be filled with peace, light, & joy.
- Reposted by The Progressive CaucusHappy first night of Hanukkah! To everyone celebrating, may the coming 8 nights bring peace, light, and countless blessings. Happy Hanukkah to you and your loved ones!
- CPC Deputy Chair @repilhan.bsky.social and Whip @chuygarcia.house.gov along with the Progressive Caucus are supporting two resolutions to end Trump’s brutal military campaign in Venezuela that has killed 87 people.
- Deputy Chair @repilhan.bsky.social & Whip @chuygarcia.house.gov : “As Trump threatens land strikes on Venezuela, every U.S. Representative will face a simple, up-or-down choice on the House floor this week: Will you stand up for the Constitution and vote to stop Trump’s illegal warmaking or not?”
- “These are illegal hostilities that could destabilize the entire region and fuel mass migration. Congress must stop this unconstitutional military campaign by passing these War Powers Resolutions.”
- Our deepest condolences go to the victims of this horrifying mass shooting at Brown University. America’s shameful cycle of gun violence needs to end. Enough is enough. Congress must pass commonsense gun safety laws NOW.
- We send our solidarity and sympathy to Australia’s Jewish community after this horrific mass shooting against Hanukkah celebrators. We are more determined than ever to fight and defeat antisemitism worldwife. Our deepest condolences go to the victims and their families.
- Reposted by The Progressive CaucusI’m keeping Brown students, faculty, staff, and families close to my heart during this horrific tragedy, so close to the holiday season. No parent should have to fear for their kid’s safety at school — or anywhere. We cannot normalize this, and we cannot continue to do nothing.
- Reposted by The Progressive CaucusViolence 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)
- Reposted by The Progressive CaucusHappy Hanukkah to everyone who will be celebrating in Philadelphia and beyond. May these next eight nights be filled with joy, lightness, and peace. Chag Sameach!
- Reposted by The Progressive CaucusHeartbroken and horrified by the shooting at Brown University. Gun violence has no place in our schools or our society. I’m praying for the entire community, but prayers aren’t enough. It’s long past time the government acted on compressive gun control reform.
- Reposted by The Progressive CaucusAbsolutely devastated by the news of a mass shooting at Brown University. My heart breaks for every single person impacted by this tragedy. It is unacceptable we keep finding ourselves here as a country. We have the power to end this horrific cycle of gun violence and must act.
- Reposted by The Progressive CaucusOn what should be a joyous first night of Hanukkah, we are mourning the victims in Sydney. May your gatherings tonight be a reminder that a little bit of light dispels a lot of darkness. Hanukkah Sameach!
- Reposted by The Progressive CaucusThe horrific attack in Australia is a senseless reminder that we must root out antisemitism & all forms of hatred everywhere. I’m praying for the families impacted, our Jewish neighbors, & those in mourning.
- Reposted by The Progressive CaucusWhile the tragedy at Bondi Beach weighs heavily on our minds and hearts, I pray our Jewish neighbors know only a happy and peaceful first night of Hanukkah. May this Festival of Lights bring them joy at a time when it is most needed.
- Reposted by The Progressive CaucusI’m outraged and heartbroken by the shooting at Brown. I’m praying for all those impacted. It’s long past time to act to save lives. No one should fear going to school, the grocery store, or the movie theater. Congressional inaction to prevent gun violence is unconscionable.
- Holiday gifts are set to rise 26% from last year. Trump’s reckless tariff policies have been a problem since Day 1 — and now he’s stealing the holiday season away from working people trying to provide for their kids and families.
- Reposted by The Progressive CaucusDonald Trump’s presidency has been great for rich people and corporations – but not the small business owners who are facing rising costs and are forced to lay off their workers to try to keep their doors open.
- Reposted by The Progressive CaucusI joined every House Democrat in demanding a vote to extend crucial Affordable Care Act tax credits that help lower health care costs. If just four Republicans joined us, we'd be able to stop premiums from skyrocketing for millions of Americans at the end of the month.
- Reposted by The Progressive CaucusFriends—there’s 10 days until Congress leaves for the holidays and a LOT is happening—from the Epstein files, to the NDAA, healthcare, and a slough of GOP “permitting” bills that would gut environmental protections, to bills we are introducing. There’s a lot on tap! ⬇️
- Reposted by The Progressive CaucusI joined @CNN last night to discuss the video of the boat strikes in the Caribbean.
- Reposted by The Progressive CaucusICE is zip-tying kids and going after your hardworking friends and neighbors – not violent criminals. Just look at the data.
- Reposted by The Progressive Caucus@repespaillat.bsky.social, @velazquez.house.gov, & I introduced the Immigration Court Due Process Protection Act to stop DHS from ambushing immigrants who are showing up to their hearings and appointments. No more fear at the courthouse. No more separating families. Everyone deserves due process.
- Reposted by The Progressive CaucusThis isn't "putting farmers first" — it's a bandaid on a problem he created. Farmers don't want a bail out, they want to sell their crops. bit.ly/3YheCyt
- Reposted by The Progressive CaucusWhile millions scrounge to pay for groceries and medical procedures, FBI Director Kash Patel flies his taxpayer-paid private jet to “date night” with his girlfriend and the “Boondoggle Ranch” (its real name, I kid you not). House Judiciary Democrats demand reimbursement to the taxpayers.
- Reposted by The Progressive CaucusTrump can talk himself hoarse while insisting otherwise, but he cannot change the reality hardworking Americans are facing. His tariffs are driving up costs, health care prices are soaring, and families are feeling the squeeze. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/08/u...
- Reposted by The Progressive CaucusYes. We must extend the ACA tax credits so that over 20 million Americans don't see a doubling in their health premiums, on average. But we must do more. We cannot remain the only major country not to guarantee health care for all as a human right. We must pass Medicare for All.
- Reposted by The Progressive CaucusMy constituent traveled to DC from Pittsburgh to share how the Republican-manufactured healthcare crisis and increased premiums will harm her as a small business owner. I'm grateful to Tori for coming to share her story, because we know thousands of others in Western PA face the same challenges.
- Reposted by The Progressive CaucusFor more than 125 years, the Supreme Court has affirmed what the Constitution plainly states: anyone born on U.S. soil is a citizen. Trump’s hateful effort to end birthright citizenship is unlawful & rooted in bigotry. We must defend this bedrock principle. The 14th Amendment isn’t a suggestion.
- Reposted by The Progressive CaucusIllegal boat strikes, health care anxiety, judge rules on immigrant detention, and the Tennessee special election. Here are 3 good things and 3 bad things you need to know!
- Reposted by The Progressive CaucusAs Trump attempts to impose a new Monroe Doctrine on the Americas, it’s more important than ever that we stand together to call out and resist these violations.
- Reposted by The Progressive CaucusWhen auto executives stand with the president to weaken fuel efficiency standards, they are choosing to concede the global market for electric vehicles to China. China already leads the world in EV manufacturing and sales, and it is moving faster every year.
- Reposted by The Progressive CaucusTrump’s economy is in free fall & working families know it. 🏦 72% of Americans expect Trump’s tariffs to make 2025 the most expensive holiday season yet 🚫🛍️ 56% are cutting back on gifts just to pay the bills 😟 68% say the holidays now feel more financially stressful than joyful
- Reposted by The Progressive CaucusDonald Trump and Elon Musk forced out 7,000 of the public servants who make Social Security work. Americans are paying the price.
- Reposted by The Progressive CaucusThe cost of living is too damn high. Too many hardworking Americans live paycheck to paycheck, because everything seems more expensive under Trump and House Republicans — including health care.
- Reposted by The Progressive CaucusJust landed in Albuquerque ✈️ to breaking news of the Supreme Court upholding Texas’s gerrymandered maps. They know their agenda gutting healthcare, food, and education is so unpopular they can’t win—so they’re trying to cheat. This is why the work cannot not stop! youtu.be/Y60qQo6IQY8
- Reposted by The Progressive CaucusRepublicans have had 15 YEARS to show their work on healthcare and yet they remain stuck on “concepts of a plan.” Meanwhile, millions of their own constituents have health insurance through the ACA and rely on the tax credits to keep premiums down.
- Reposted by The Progressive CaucusNovember saw the biggest monthly private sector job losses in 2 1/2 years, driven by small businesses that are grinding to make it in this economy. We need to get our government in the business of unrigging an economy that huge corporations have manipulated to crush competition.
- Reposted by The Progressive CaucusLast night, I spoke with @msnowreports.bsky.social's Chris Hayes about boat strikes in the Caribbean.
- Reposted by The Progressive CaucusThe shipwrecked men who survived the first U.S. strike on September 2nd were clinging to their burning boat for survival and had no radio and no means to fire back. Firing on them again is illegal under both U.S. and international law.
- Reposted by The Progressive CaucusThe presidential pardon system has reached a breaking point, which is why I have joined Reps. Cohen, Lieu, and H. Johnson in proposing a Constitutional amendment that finally puts guardrails on abuse.
- Reposted by The Progressive CaucusSec. Kennedy must appear before the HELP Committee to explain why his vaccine advisory committee, in strong disagreement with the medical & scientific community, voted to end a decades-long recommendation that newborns receive the hepatitis B vaccine. This vaccine saves lives.
- Reposted by The Progressive CaucusThe chairman is being diplomatic about the GOP's health care plan- but after 15 years there isn't one. A simple extension of the ACA tax credits would end this GOP-created crisis and prevent the shutdown of health care for 24 million Americans.
