News release Leader Jeffries: Good afternoon. Today we stand together as House Democrats with the American people to push back against this reckless Republican budget. This is a critical moment in the American journey. Everything we care about is under assault. The economy is under assault. The safety net is under assault. Our very way of life as a country is under assault. Democracy itself is under assault. Donald Trump, the administration and House Republicans are hurting the American people.

Statement “It’s hard to imagine anyone more vulnerable than a migrant child, alone, without parents, who’s in the United States to escape gangs, sexual or domestic violence, trafficking, abject poverty, or other horrors. Denying legal representation and orientation services to those children as they try to navigate the immigration court system is cruel and unethical and will leave them at grave and unnecessary risk for trafficking and other forms of exploitation.

Statement “America’s moms want a U.S. Secretary of Education with an unshakable commitment to protect all students and set them up to succeed by making our schools stronger and more effective. Business leaders want that too, because our economy depends on having a well-educated workforce now and in the future. Linda McMahon, President Trump’s nominee to serve as U.S. Secretary of Education, has a very different agenda.

Statement “There are dozens of rock-solid reasons to refuse to confirm Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (RFK) as Secretary of Health and Human Services, and only one reason to confirm him: Because groveling to President Trump matters more to you than the health and wellbeing of your constituents.

Media advisory WASHINGTON – On Wednesday, February 12, parents, educators, community leaders and elected officials will gather outside the U.S. Capitol to take a stand for students and public schools ahead of Secretary of Education nominee Linda McMahon’s confirmation hearing.

Statement “It’s been 32 years since Congress passed the FMLA, guaranteeing about three in five of the country’s working people unpaid, job-protected leave when a new baby or child arrives, a serious medical condition strikes, or to care for a seriously ill family member. That law was designed as a first step in boosting working families, businesses, and our economy, and it’s done that. But in all the years since, Congress has failed the country by not taking the next step and passing a comprehensive paid family and medical leave program. That needs to change.

Statement “The pause on federal funding the Trump administration announced last night has created massive fear and chaos nationwide. Moms are asking if their schools will be able to provide lunch to their kids tomorrow, if Head Start and child care programs will open, if WIC will still be available for infants and toddlers, and if SNAP will be accessible for groceries.

Statement “It is hard to contemplate a candidate more unfit, unqualified, and problematic to serve as U.S. Secretary of Defense than Pete Hegseth. Hegseth has made numerous comments about women and moms serving in the military that are disrespectful, sexist, ignorant, insulting and truly outrageous. There are credible allegations that he has committed sexual assault and domestic violence and that he has a history of serious alcohol abuse and financial mismanagement. He is not only utterly unqualified, he has clearly exercised horrible judgment time and again.

Statement “America’s moms condemn many of the executive orders President Trump has issued in his first days in office, which will lead to less access to health care, expand the spread of disease, embolden discrimination, and increase fear and hardship. His executive orders do nothing to lower costs, make housing and groceries less expensive, or to make child care more affordable, paid family and medical leave more available, reproductive health care more accessible, gun violence less commonplace, or to reverse our devastating maternal health crisis.
