Here are just 10 of the worst things House Judiciary Republicans voted on this Congress. And that's just one Committee. How are any of these votes making life better, safer, or more affordable for the American people?

Trump’s Big, Ugly Law is creating uncertainty & confusion for students pursuing critical health care careers. That’s why I’m supporting @RepTimKennedy’s legislation to raise loan limits to help our future health care workforce afford educational opportunities.

Trump is making it harder for nurses to pay for school – while we face a healthcare worker shortage! His administration said nursing degrees aren’t “professional.” How insulting! Let’s pass @RepTimKennedy’s bill to ensure nurses & all graduate students can afford their education.

Representative Tim Kennedy (D-NY, @RepTimKennedy) said it was "embarrassing" to watch Republicans stand up and applaud the President during last night's State of the Union. "The American people are smarter than what Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans are trying to sell to them right now. People know firsthand that working families in this country are struggling to pay the bills, are dealing with an affordability crisis that is of generational proportions."

Today, I joined @RepJeffries and many of my former colleagues on the House floor as they introduced a joint resolution honoring the six innocent lives stolen 15 years ago today. I’ll always fight for Christina-Taylor, Gabe, John, Phyllis, Dorothy, Dorwan—and Congress should too.

Urgent update. Our bipartisan petition to force a vote on a straightforward extension of the Affordable Care Act tax credits now has 218 signatures. Mike Johnson should bring the bill to the floor immediately.

Today’s decision is disappointing. I am not in this fight only for myself, and I’m concerned that this decision will simply embolden the administration. This case is not over. I am committed to protecting my community, our people, and our country.

This isn’t about me. It’s about all of us. It’s about a justice system which has been weaponized. A justice system which has been used as a tool of revenge. My faith is strong. I have belief in the justice system and the rule of law.
