Statement “Yesterday’s narrow, 5- 4 U.S. Supreme Court decision to lift the nationwide injunction that was blocking the cruel, anti-immigrant public charge rule from taking effect was deeply disappointing and truly harmful. Upending the judicial review process allows the Trump administration to create terror and hardship among low-income immigrants and immigrant families of color, threatening their health, housing and nutrition, in ways the Court may ultimately not allow.

Statement “It is disgraceful that President Trump plans to divert $7.2 billion in funds allocated to the Pentagon this year to build his border wall, in addition to the $1.375 Congress authorized for this ill-advised project. If President Trump is once again able to divert these additional funds, a total of $18.4 billion in taxpayer dollars will have been used to build an environmentally harmful wall the nation neither wants nor needs – a wall that would stand forever as a symbol of hate and division.

Statement “The U.S. House of Representatives did its duty by impeaching President Donald Trump for trying to use his influence and taxpayers’ money to coerce Ukrainian leaders into interfering in our election. This was an egregious abuse of power and a clear violation of the President’s oath of office. The House conducted a thorough investigation that produced a mountain of evidence that the U.S. Senate must consider at a fair trial that includes testimony from witnesses and consideration of the evidence.

Statement “The fiscal year 2020 budget the U.S. Senate passed today, and the U.S. House of Representatives passed earlier this week, is a mixed bag for America’s moms. It contains appalling funding streams that reward immigration agencies that have been responsible for the mass separation of children and families and the deaths of children in detention, and missed opportunities to address surprise medical bills and reduce prescription drug costs.

Statement “President Trump’s abuse of power, the ways he covered it up, and his undeniable obstruction of the congressional investigation left responsible, fair-minded members of the U.S. House of Representatives no choice but to vote to impeach him. The House did its duty today. We commend every representative who voted to impeach.

Trump’s Victory on the Affordable Care Act Puts Coverage for America’s Moms and Families in Jeopardy
December 18, 2019
Statement “The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals should have soundly rejected the arguments made by Republican-led states and the Trump administration and ruled conclusively that the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is and will remain the law of the land. Instead, it ruled the law's individual mandate unconstitutional, and sent the case back to a hostile lower court to reconsider whether that should invalidate the entire law.

Statement “America’s moms are appalled by President Trump’s abuse of power, the lies he and members of his administration told to cover it up, and the many ways he violated the law by obstructing the congressional investigation into these crimes. We commend the U.S. House of Representatives for its thorough and fair investigation, which confirmed beyond any doubt that President Trump tried to use his influence and taxpayers’ money to coerce Ukraine leaders into interfering in our elections and then tried to cover up his self-serving actions.
