Statement “Our state’s tax code is broken and that is creating a budget crisis that threatens the education, health care, and child care systems Washington’s working families rely on. Our budget crisis is putting moms, working families, small businesses, and our state’s economy in peril. The Millionaires Tax, now before the state legislature, is a long-term fix our state needs. It would help repair our state’s broken tax code by providing an estimated $3.7 billion annually to fund early education, schools, and health care, while cutting taxes for working families and small businesses.

Statement “Congress passed the Family and Medical Leave Act 33 years ago today, guaranteeing about three in five working people in our country unpaid, job-protected leave when a new baby or child arrives, a serious medical condition strikes, or a seriously ill family member needs care. That law was an important first step that generated enormous benefits. But in the 33 years since, lawmakers have failed to take the next step by passing a comprehensive paid family and medical leave program. Working people, families, businesses, and our economy are suffering as a result.

Statement “It is absolutely outrageous that the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) arrested Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, and other journalists for covering a protest against the Trump administration’s deadly immigration enforcement. These arrests are chilling, by design – but they will backfire. In Minnesota, Chicago, Los Angeles, Charlotte, Portland Oregon and Portland Maine, and so many other places, moms and other Americans have made clear that we will defend our fundamental rights every time the increasingly authoritarian Trump administration violates them.

Statement “Alex Jeffrey Pretti. Renee Nicole Good. Liam Ramos, the 5-year-old boy in the bunny hat. And countless others in Minnesota, Chicago, Los Angeles, Charlotte, New Orleans, Portland Oregon and Portland Maine, and dozens of other U.S. cities have had their lives upended – or ended – and their families torn apart by the immigration agents the Trump administration has unleashed on our communities, too many of whom are untrained and lawless. It has to end.

Statement “The commitment by newly elected New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and New York Governor Kathy Hochul to invest an additional $1.7 billion in child care is a huge step forward that will benefit moms, families, children, businesses, and New York’s economy. It’s a shining example of what government can do when lawmakers make it a priority to address the needs of working families, and it stands in stark contrast to the Trump administration’s decision to sacrifice urgently needed federal child care funding to its anti-immigrant bigotry.

Statement “The U.S. House took one very welcome, long overdue step today to alleviate the health care crisis tens of millions of families are facing by voting to extend the expiring ACA premium tax credits for three years. America’s moms thank every representative who voted for that bill today – and we are counting on the U.S. Senate to also pass a clean three-year extension of the ACA premium tax credits immediately.

Statement “More sick children – some of them desperately ill. More hospitalizations. More pressure on our already-stressed health care system. More medical expenses for families. More struggles for the tens of millions of working parents without paid sick time they can use to care for their ailing sons and daughters. More uncertainty and confusion for parents.
