Three weeks ago, twin earthquakes devastated Venezuela — over 600 lives lost and 40,000 still missing. The headlines are fading, but the need is not. We can't forget them. @HispanicFed's Ayuda a los Pueblos: Venezuela Disaster Relief is delivering food, clean water, and shelter to survivors through trusted partners on the ground like AID for Life. Give today. Venezuela's families can't be left behind. Donate: hispfed.info/venezuela

Birthright citizenship is more than a law...it is a promise that if you are born here, you belong here. On the eve of America's 250th birthday, may we always keep this promise: "We The People" means all of us.

Thank you @repmaxwellfrost for listening to your Puerto Rican constituents and standing up for our loved ones in the island and Florida. #EndAct22

Wealthy investors shouldn't get tax breaks while Puerto Rican families get pushed out of their homes. I'm standing with the residents of Hacienda Grande community in Loíza against displacement, environmental destruction, and a housing system that puts profits over people.

Ramos: A few years ago, I went to Venezuela and talked to Maduro. He didn't like the questions. He arrested me and he deported me. I cannot believe that right now in the United States, we're talking about a reporter that is asking tough questions and that the government decides to arrest him. That's exactly what's happening. The same thing that happened in Venezuela.

Both @ZohranMamdani & @BadBunny proclaim NY & Puerto Rico are not for sale. When the rich avoid taxes, it hurts our communities. In time for the Super Bowl, we write in @thenation how we must #AbolishAct22, the worst tax break scheme in the world. archive.ph/2026.01.13-152621…

I watch in distress all the ways our society normalizes violence particularly gun violence. Every American needs to follow @giffords_org & @gabbygiffords. Her story of resilience and unrelentless commitment is truly inspiring.

Today marks 15 years since a gunman tried to assassinate me. He shot 19 people and killed six. I almost died, and think of those who did every day. As I look back on the years since I was shot, I’m reminded of how much is possible when we reach across divides and find common purpose. Together, we built a movement to end America’s gun violence crisis and have passed more than 820 gun safety laws across the nation. I’ll never stop fighting. This mission is for Christina-Taylor, Gabe, John, Phyllis, Dorothy, and Dorwan—and every single victim and survivor of gun violence. We will build the safer future they deserved. I’m sure of it.

Growing up in Back of the Yards in a Mexican immigrant family, nothing was ever handed to me. I’m running for Congress to fight for the community that raised me, and to give voters in the 4th district a choice in this election.

Our communities rely on essential public health programs from affordable care access to health education to be safe, healthy and productive. As you debate next fiscal year’s budget, @RepDarrenSoto @SenRickScott @SenAshleyMoody vote to secure these programs. #ProtectPublicHealth

"¡Mucho habían tardado! The NRCC’s rhetoric demonizing an upstanding Latino member of the U.S. House of Representatives by using words like ‘illegal’ and ‘radical’ is nothing new or innovative. It’s the same old tired playbook, and it would be boring if only it wasn’t dangerous and wrong."--@KPichardoNY Latino Victory's full statement: bit.ly/3D7XCnH

Shameful. I thought I had seen a lot, and now this comes from the desk of @SecRubio & @StateDept 👇🏾

JUST NOW: Projects supporting political prisoners in Cuba, church groups opposing strongman Daniel Ortega in Nicaragua and activists fighting Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela were canceled after a State Department review concluded they are not in the “national interest” of the US.

The Trump tax on Mexico, Canada and China are going to cost a typical household $1,200 way more then they would get from his 4.5 trillion tax cut. You know who gets the most money back: the richest 20% of Taxpayers

All Americans except for the richest 20% will pay more in tariffs than they will get back from Trump's tax cuts.
