Here’s an excerpt of Congressman Horsford speaking on the House floor, calling for putting people over politics.

As a member of the House Ways and Means Committee, Congressman Steven Horsford has been rightfully incensed by the mfg’s tariffs and has called for an investigation for market manipulation.

x This morning, my colleagues and I on Ways and Means spoke on the alarming signs of market manipulation. Retirements tanked. Small businesses got hit. Billionaires cashed in. This isn’t policy, it’s exploitation. And I’m calling it out. pic.twitter.com/VfliQFiF1U — Rep. Steven Horsford (@RepHorsford) April 10, 2025

x The House Ways & Means Committee is supposed to have a say in trade policy. That’s why I was so frustrated last week—because in real time, the Trump administration announced a tariff pause, and the top trade representative didn’t even address it. This is complete chaos. pic.twitter.com/v4jp1l6B1E — Rep. Steven Horsford (@RepHorsford) April 14, 2025

x I’m leading a letter with Rep. Terri Sewell and 131 colleagues demanding answers from the White House, USTR, Treasury, Commerce, and the SEC. Who knew about Trump’s tariff reversal? When did they know? How did they know? $300B didn’t move by accident. This is market manipulation. — Rep. Steven Horsford (@repstevenhorsford.bsky.social) 2025-04-11T18:43:48.547Z

See Congressman Horford’s powerful questioning of US Trade Rep. Jamieson Greer.

x Trump’s trade rep admitted he had no idea the President was pausing tariffs until we told him…..in the middle of a hearing. WTF? This is reckless, pathetic, and dangerous. Small businesses are getting crushed while this admin plays games. Amateur hour needs to end. Now. https://t.co/fQWr3XsVnZ — Steven Horsford (@StevenHorsford) April 10, 2025

This week’s news from the CBC

Congress is in recess until April 28.

Thursday (Apr 17):

House Democrats held a Medicaid Matters Day of Action.

x The Medicaid Matters Day of Action is underway throughout America. We will stop these far right extremists from taking away your healthcare. — Hakeem Jeffries (@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social) 2025-04-17T19:00:39.319Z

x Medicaid is under attack…depending who you ask Republicans say it’s here to stay. Democrats say it’s under threat. So…what’s the truth? Swipe through to see how any budget cuts to Medicaid could impact Nevada. #MedicaidMatters #HandsOffMedicaid — Rep. Steven Horsford (@repstevenhorsford.bsky.social) 2025-04-17T20:54:39.379Z

x The administration is trying to gut Medicaid—putting 811,000 Nevadans at risk. I’ve been visiting health centers across my district. I’ve heard the fear. These cuts are already creating chaos. This isn’t policy. It’s cruel. And I’m fighting back. — Rep. Steven Horsford (@repstevenhorsford.bsky.social) 2025-04-17T16:16:52.331Z

x 39% of children in PA rely on Medicaid for health coverage. Kids like Hallie, who was born 4 months prematurely.

x Republicans have replaced the trope of “welfare queens” with unemployed young men playing video games. They will always find a nonexistent scapegoat to justify their attempts to cut your social safety net, and Medicaid is first up on the chopping block. — Congresswoman Gwen Moore (@repgwenmoore.bsky.social) 2025-04-17T20:12:43.387Z

Congressman Glenn Ivey appeared on MSNBC.

x On Saturday, I joined @theWeekend to discuss President Trump’s disregard for Supreme Court rulings & absurd & likely illegal proposal to send imprisoned US citizens to jails in El Salvador.

Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett appeared on MSNBC.

x I’m glad SCOTUS stepped in & stopped that plane from taking off. Deporting folks with no record & no due process isn’t justice—it’s cruelty. Meanwhile, the Republicans follow a convicted felon like he’s the Second Coming. You can’t scream “law & order” while breaking the law at every turn. — Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (@repjasmine.bsky.social) 2025-04-19T16:50:24.167Z
