Sánchez on Republican tax bill: Don’t buy the bullshit

Source: United States House of Representatives – Congresswoman Linda Sanchez (38th District of CA)

WASHINGTON – Congresswoman Linda T. Sánchez (D-Calif.) delivered an opening statement during the Ways and Means Committee’s markup of the Republican tax bill.

Video of her opening statement is available HERE and the text follows:

“Well, here we go again.

Republicans are once again choosing billionaires and big corporations over working families. This bill that we are marking up today is an insult to every hardworking American. It sends a very clear message: that you’ll pay more, and you’ll receive fewer services – just so that billionaires can pocket another tax cut that they really don’t need.

American families, in case you have noticed, are struggling. Under President Trump and Republican leadership, they have seen nothing but chaos. They’ve watched Elon Musk gleefully take a chainsaw to vital programs that they rely on, like Social Security, Medicare, and the VA. Travel is less safe at airports because they are left in disarray due to the cuts to our air traffic control systems.

Prices for everyday necessities – like food, clothing, diapers, and formula – keep rising because of Trump’s tariffs. Premiums for health insurance, car insurance, and housing are going up, making it harder and harder for families to make ends meet.

And now, rather than providing real relief, Republicans want to look at this chaos, put it into law, and call it ‘one beautiful bill.’ All to pay for more tax cuts for the rich while adding [trillions] to our national debt.

Nearly $20 trillion in debt over the next ten years by Republicans’ own members’ own estimates. Not our estimates – their estimates. Americans are worried about their future. Consumer confidence is at a record low. People are afraid of losing their jobs, their health care, student aid, and food assistance.

And this bill today compounds that pain. 14 million people will lose health care coverage under this plan. And for what? Again, so billionaires can get even richer while we all drown in debt. This is outrageous. Billionaires already have more money than they could ever spend. They can afford to pay their fair share.

What’s equally disturbing is you’re not being honest about the fact that you are meting out crumbs to the most needy while you are helping the most wealthy. And don’t buy the bullshit that tax cuts for the rich create more jobs or better wages. It’s been the excuse under every Republican administration in the last half-century to pass more and more tax cuts to the rich.

And it has failed to deliver on that promise each and every single time. The wealthy just got richer while the working families got harmed. All while piling on more debt that families will have to pay off.

I’m outraged that this committee is focused on doing more for the richest in this country while destroying the means of survival for the poorest. And this bill doubles down on that assault on those seeking the American Dream by stealing tax benefits and services to working people who are paying taxes!

It would deny the Child Tax Credit to 2 million U.S. citizen children. Even worse, it would deny Medicare coverage to those who’ve worked and paid into the system. How dare Republicans say they are for the working class when they’re making it harder for those struggling to get by?

Enough is enough. My constituents are fed up. They’re sick and tired of Republican tax cuts that only benefit the ultra-wealthy. Our tax code needs to be about fairness. It needs to be about balance. It should support families, not the rich. But this bill does the exact opposite.

To my Republican colleagues, I say: please just stop this insanity. You have to lie about what is in this bill; otherwise, probably, your constituents would be rioting in the streets. Here is an idea: how about you think about putting your constituents first for once, rather than the people who donate to your campaigns?

But I guess that is asking a little too much from people who have completely lost their moral compass. I will be voting ‘no’ on this bill. I hope some on that side of the aisle see the light and do the same.”

Sánchez statement on Pope Leo XIV

WASHINGTON – Congresswoman Linda T. Sánchez (D-Calif.) released the following statement on the election of Pope Leo XIV:  

“This is a historic moment for the Catholic Church as American-born Cardinal Robert Prevost has been elected our next pope. At a time when many are turning away from the global community, it’s heartwarming that someone who embraces the world, speaks many languages and is committed to social justice has ascended to the papacy.

“Pope Leo XIV arrives at a time when the Church faces both challenges and opportunities. I’m hopeful he will follow Pope Francis and continue to be a vessel for peace, dignity and inclusion in the world. I pray he is granted the strength and wisdom necessary to serve humanity.”

Trade Ranking Member Sánchez: UK deal lazy attempt at claiming victory

Source: United States House of Representatives – Congresswoman Linda Sanchez (38th District of CA)

WASHINGTON – Ways and Means Trade Subcommittee Ranking Member Linda T. Sánchez (D-Calif.) released the following statement in response to President Trump announcing an unfinished trade agreement with the United Kingdom:  

“This is a lazy attempt at a trade agreement. President Trump is desperate to claim a win, hoping it will deflect from the rising costs and economic pain caused by his reckless trade policies.

“His so-called trade deal won’t help working families, farmers, or small businesses. Where is the U.K. market access for American poultry? What, if any, are the environmental, anti-corruption, and labor commitments? How will we uphold these commitments without any enforcement mechanism? And will President Trump follow the law and bring his deal before Congress so the American people get a say? Another attempt to weaken accountability and transparency

“This is what President Trump does. He claims these ‘huge’ victories but after the headlines are written and the details come out, they fall short of his hype. Despite his attempt at distraction, his economic agenda is clearly failing.”

Background

Ranking Member Sánchez introduced the Stopping a Rogue President on Trade Act, a bill that would turn off the global tariffs imposed on April 2, turn off the tariffs imposed by executive order for Mexico and Canada, and require congressional approval for tariffs imposed by the president. The bill has the support of all Ways and Means Democrats.

Sánchez: Congress must reclaim trade authority before Trump plunges economy into recession

Source: United States House of Representatives – Congresswoman Linda Sanchez (38th District of CA)

WASHINGTON – Ways and Means Trade Subcommittee Ranking Member Linda Sánchez (D-Calif.) released the following statement in response to the U.S. economy shrinking due to President Trump’s trade policies:  

“President Trump inherited a strong, growing economy that was the envy of the world. But in just 100 days, his reckless trade policies have sent our economy spiraling downward and we’re now staring at the very real threat of yet another Republican-led recession. 

“That means lost jobs, rising prices, and working families once again forced to bear the brunt of this administration’s failures – all due to self-inflicted wounds by a president dangerously out of control. Congress must reclaim its authority over trade and tariffs before President Trump plunges us into a recession.”

Background

Ranking Member Sánchez earlier this month introduced the Stopping a Rogue President on Trade Act, a bill that would turn off the global tariffs imposed on April 2, turn off the tariffs imposed by executive order for Mexico and Canada, and require congressional approval for tariffs imposed by the president. The bill has the support of all Ways and Means Democrats.

Sánchez, Davis, DelBene champion bill to reduce child care costs for working families

Source: United States House of Representatives – Congresswoman Linda Sanchez (38th District of CA)

In contrast to GOP effort to slash child care funding, this bill increases maximum child care credit by nearly 400 percent

WASHINGTON – Representatives Linda Sánchez (D-Calif.), Danny K. Davis (D-Ill.) and Suzan DelBene (D-Wash.) introduced the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit Enhancement Act to permanently expand the child care tax credit. The bill would raise the maximum credit from $1,050 to $4,000 for one child and from $2,100 to $8,000 for two or more children. 

Senators Tina Smith (D-Minn.), Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and Patty Murray (D-Wash.) introduced companion legislation in the Senate.

“Working parents shouldn’t have to choose between earning a paycheck and caring for their kids,” said Sánchez. “Expanding the child care tax credit will make child care more affordable and accessible, so parents can focus on their work knowing their kids are being cared for.”

“High-quality, affordable child care is essential to the economic well-being of families, businesses, and our country,” said Rep. Davis. “I am proud to lead the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit Enhancement Act that would restore the 2021 credit so that families can receive up to $4,000 for child care for one child or up to $8,000 for two or more children, much better than the almost $600 that the typical family receives currently. This bill would strengthen the financial well-being of families and grow our economy. It is critical that Congress acts now to help working families.”

“Access to affordable child care is one of the biggest barriers families face. Enhancing the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit will give parents the relief they need by supporting both families and care providers,” said DelBene. “This bill is a commonsense step toward making child care more accessible and affordable for every family.” 

The Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit (CDCTC) is the only tax credit that helps working parents offset the rising cost of child care. In 2021, Democrats successfully enhanced both the CDCTC and the Child Tax Credit because both credits are essential to support parents’ ability to provide for their families. While 100 percent of the CDCTC reimburses parents for actual child care costs paid to work, parents mostly use the Child Tax Credit to defray other significant costs of caring for a child, such as food, rent, and clothing. 

As currently structured, the CDCTC unfortunately fails to meet the needs of tens of millions of working families. Very few families receive meaningful benefit from the credit due to the extremely low phase-out level of $15,000, the low expense limits, the non-refundable nature, and the loss of benefit due to inflation. For example, the Tax Policy Center estimates that only 13 percent of families with children claimed the CDCTC in 2022. The Child Care and Dependent Credit Enhancement Act will increase the maximum credit amount to $4,000 per child up to $8,000 for two or more children, expand eligibility to low-income families, make the credit available to married couples who file separately due to high student loan debt, and retain the credit’s value over time by indexing it to inflation. Compared to 2019, low-income working parents quadrupled their credit received in 2021. 

High-quality, affordable child care is essential to the economic well-being of families, businesses, and our country. Yet, child care places a major financial burden on American families. The price of child care can range from $5,357 to $17,171 per year depending on location and type of care. Astoundingly, the cost of center-based care for two children is more than the average mortgage in 41 states and more than the average annual rent in all 50 states plus DC. Households under the poverty line spend nearly one third of their income on child care, and increases in median child care prices are connected to lower maternal employment rates. Further, the child care crisis hits families of color disproportionately hard. For a single parent who has never been married who is Black, Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, or American Indian/Alaska Native, child care can cost 36 percent, 41 percent, or 49 percent of the median income, respectively, compared to only 31 percent for single white parents. Further, Latino and American Indian and Alaska Native parents disproportionately live in child care deserts.

Statements from Supporting Organizations

The bill is endorsed by state and national child and worker advocates, including: Center for Law and Social Policy, Child Care Aware of America, Early Care and Education Consortium, First Five Years Fund, First Focus Campaign for Children, MomsRising, National Association for the Education of Young Children, National Women’s Law Center Action Fund, Save the Children, Start Early, Society for Human Resource Management, and ZERO TO THREE.

“Often conflated with the child tax credit, the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit is one of the only tax incentives that helps working families with their child care expenses. As the cost of care increases, many families must contend with whether their current job pays enough to justify their child care expenses,” said Radha Mohan, executive director, Early Care and Education Consortium. “For families where one parent must leave the workforce because they cannot afford the cost of care, this often hurts the family from an economic standpoint in the long run. The CDCTC Enhancement Act helps ensure that families do not have to make this choice by providing a credit to offset the cost of care. When paired with programs such as the Child Care and Development Block Grant, this bill will ensure that many families will have reduced their child care costs by over 50 percent.”

“As almost any working family with young children will tell you, the cost of child care is a major source of financial stress, putting immense pressure on already tight budgets,” said Sarah Rittling,executive director, First Five Years Fund. “The Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit Enhancement Act would make essential updates to the CDCTC to ensure more parents are able to keep more of what they earn to offset the high cost of care. We are grateful to Reps. Danny Davis, Suzan DelBene, and Linda Sanchez for their leadership and commitment to supporting families with young children.” 

“For families with young children, the cost of childcare is often unaffordable and impacts their economic opportunity – the cornerstone of child and family well-being. The Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit Enhancement Act of 2025 is an important effort to update the CDCTC to ensure that more families can offset their child care costs. We are grateful to Rep. Danny Davis and his longstanding efforts to support children and families in his district and across the country, and also extend that appreciation to Reps. Suzan DelBene and Linda Sanchez., said Diana Rauner, president, Start Early.

“Affordable child care isn’t a luxury – it’s the backbone of our economy,” said Yelena Tsilker, senior government relations and advocacy director, ZERO TO THREE. “Parents of infants now face child care bills that top $16,000 a year – higher than in-state college tuition in many states. The Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit Enhancement Act tackles that crisis head-on by making the CDCTC fully refundable and increasing the maximum credit, so families of every income can choose the high-quality care their babies need. This relief will keep parents in the workforce and help millions of children thrive. We applaud Representatives Davis, DelBene, and Sánchez for championing legislation that hard-working families have long awaited.”

THOMPSON WELCOMES HOME FOURTH DISTRICT DACA RECIPIENT DENIED ENTRY BACK INTO U.S.

Source: United States House of Representatives – Congressman Mike Thompson Representing the 5th District of CALIFORNIA

Washington – Last week, U.S. Representative Mike Thompson (CA-04) sat down with a constituent and DACA recipient from California’s Fourth Congressional District who was denied entry back into the U.S. for weeks after a trip to Mexico due to a clerical error by U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services. The constituent, who is identified only as Jane Doe to remain anonymous, sat down with Rep. Thompson to discuss the harrowing incident and how Thompson and his team were able to intervene to bring her home. Watch the video HERE. 

“Through no fault of her own, Jane was wrongfully denied re-entry from Mexico into the United States due to a paperwork error made by U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services. It’s sad that the federal government can make an error that causes a legal resident of the United States — in this case, my constituent — to have to miss three weeks of work, stay in a foreign country, and leave her family without their sole breadwinner for weeks. It took my office, my staff, and myself to intervene to get her home,” said Rep. Thompson. 

“Constituent services are an important part of my job and my staff and I are dedicated to helping all of our constituents on any matters they have with the federal government.” 

“When I was stranded in Mexico, I reached out to Congressman Thompson, him and his team listen to my story, they supported me and provided me with help to solve my situation. If not for them, I don’t think I would be here today. Thank you for everything,” said Jane Doe. 

BACKGROUND 

On March 26th, Jane Doe contacted Representative Thompson’s Washington, D.C. office to ask for help from the Congressman and his team. 

Jane had traveled to Mexico legally after being granted an I-131 petition which allows a DACA recipient to leave the country and return for a justified reason. Jane filed her paperwork on time and without errors, and was granted the petition before leaving for her trip.  

At the conclusion of her trip, Jane was denied entry onto the plane to fly home to the North Bay. Border patrol officials pointed out that the paperwork sent to Jane by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) listed the wrong dates for her return, despite Jane filing for the correct dates.  

Thompson’s office intervened to inquire with the USCIS San Francisco office as well as Customs & Border Control. Thompson and his team worked through USCIS to have Jane’s documents reissued and coordinated to have them couriered to Jane in Mexico. She was able to fly home on Saturday, April 27th.   

Fourth District residents who face issues with passports and visas, veterans’ benefits, IRS issues, agricultural issues, small business assistance, immigration, Medicare and Medicaid, or any other problem navigating the federal government are encouraged to contact Rep. Thompson’s nearest office for support: 

  • Napa: (707) 226-9898
  • Santa Rosa: (707) 542-7182
  • Woodland: (530) 753-3501

THOMPSON, STEUBE FOUND BIPARTISAN NATURAL DISASTER CAUCUS

Source: United States House of Representatives – Congressman Mike Thompson Representing the 5th District of CALIFORNIA

Washington – Today, Rep. Mike Thompson (D-CA-04) and Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL-17) announced that they have founded the bipartisan Natural Disaster Caucus. Members of the Natural Disaster Caucus are dedicated to natural disaster preparation, response, and relief. Reps. Thompson and Steube will serve as co-chairs of the caucus, which will provide resources for Members of Congress and their staff to help districts across our country prevent, prepare for, and respond to natural disasters.

“Every community across our country is at risk of natural disasters, whether it’s wildfires, hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, or other disasters. It just makes sense that we work together to improve the ways in which we prepare for disasters, respond to them, and ultimately deliver relief to survivors,” said Thompson. “It’s great to partner with my colleague Rep. Greg Steube to establish this bipartisan caucus to continue our work preventing and responding to disasters.” 

“Millions of Americans are impacted every year by natural disasters. When trials come, our constituents deserve to know their leaders are working together on their behalf in order to help them rebuild. I am pleased to partner with my colleagues on the Natural Disaster Caucus to advance common sense policies that will better prepare our communities for when the next natural disaster strikes,” said Steube.

BACKGROUND 

Natural disasters continue to impact Americans around the country. In 2024, there were 27 natural disasters in the United States, including droughts, floods, severe storms, cyclones, wildfires, and winter storms. These disasters led to over 500 deaths and incurred losses exceeding $180 billion. We must work to prepare for and respond to natural disasters to mitigate the widespread impacts. 

Reps. Thompson and Steube founded the Natural Disaster Caucus following their successful effort to deliver disaster relief to survivors of wildfires in California’s 4th District and hurricanes in Florida’s 17th District.  

Last Spring, Rep. Thompson and Rep. Greg Steube (FL-17) led a bipartisan group of 218 Members of Congress to successfully advance a discharge petition which forced House Speaker Mike Johnson to bring their bill, the Federal Disaster Tax Relief Act, to the House floor for a vote. The Federal Disaster Tax Relief Act supports the nearly 70,000 qualified survivors who suffered significant losses during three major federally declared California fires in 2015, 2017, and 2018 who received related settlement payments.

At the time, the historic advancement of Rep. Thompson and Rep. Steube’s petition marked only the third time a House discharge petition had succeeded in the 21st Century. Their efforts succeeded as the Federal Disaster Tax Relief Act passed the Senate and was signed into law by President Biden at the end of 2024.
