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.

We are deeply concerned that the Trump Administration is considering an illegal and unconstitutional military intervention in Venezuela. It's concerning to us that the hawks in the Trump Administration – including John Bolton, Mike Pompeo, and Elliott Abrams – are threatening to embroil the United States in another ill-advised and poorly-considered war.

House Democrats stand against bigotry in all forms, including anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, and all forms of racism and xenophobia. Today's historic and comprehensive resolution made our Democratic values abundantly clear at this critical time.

We need to create an economy that works for every family – and that starts by making college affordable and accessible to all students who want to attend. Graduates beginning their lives shouldn't have to take on crushing debt. By passing the Debt-Free College Act, we can ensure that everyone, regardless of their background, race or zip code, can afford a four-year degree.
