We strongly oppose the new rule from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services that singles out home health workers to deny them their fundamental right to support their union and collectively bargain for retirement and health care benefits. Make no mistake: this is a direct attack on home health workers – disproportionately low-income and minority women – who do the heroic work of caring for seniors and people with disabilities in their own homes.

President Trump should heed the constitution and refrain from promoting regime change in another sovereign country. Additionally, it is clearer than ever that Congress must do its job to prevent this administration from engaging in illegal, ill-advised and open-ended wars.

Today, the Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) announced its endorsement of H.R. 1046, the Medicare Negotiation and Competitive Licensing Act of 2019, introduced by Congressman Lloyd Doggett (TX-35).

By vetoing this bipartisan resolution to end the war, President Trump has signaled to the Saudi and Emirati regimes that U.S. military participation and diplomatic protection for their military campaign will be unwavering – even as more than 140 Yemeni children die of war-related hunger and disease every day.

The passage of the Save the Net Act is the culmination of a years-long Congressional campaign spearheaded by the Progressive Caucus, and represents a victory for activists, organizers, innovators, small business owners, and everyday families.

We are pleased that leadership has decided to postpone floor consideration of a budget caps agreement until we can address some of the persistent and deep-seated concerns of progressives. The outcome today allows us to develop a stronger proposal that fulfills our promise to invest in communities and families.

Despite our active participation in this war, Congress has never voted on or authorized U.S. military intervention in Yemen. The passage of the War Powers Resolution today, after a years-long campaign by the Progressive Caucus, signals a major shift in our foreign policy and makes it clear that we will not tolerate U.S. involvement these horrors.

Today, members of the Progressive Caucus condemned President Trump's embrace of far-right president of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro.

This budget sells out the American people. It's a mean-spirited, morally bankrupt proposal written to benefit military contractors, polluters, and health insurance executives at the expense of the poor

Today, House Democrats took a big step to make our government more transparent, accessible, and representative of the people. For far too long, the power of the people has been drowned out by dark money and special interests. H.R. 1 restores access to the ballot box, takes on the corrosive influence of money in politics, and ensures that our elected officials serve their constituents, instead of themselves.
