'Change of heart on the filibuster, I see'

Reps. Brittany Pettersen and Anna Paulina Luna have gotten the support of half the members of the U.S. House, enough to force a vote on their resolution. by Grace Panetta and Marissa Martinez, The 19thTwo women lawmakers appear to have gotten enough support from fellow House members to force a vote on a resolution to make it easier for new parents to vote and serve in Congress.Rep. Brittany Pettersen of Colorado, a Democrat, and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna of Florida, a Republican, teamed up on a measure to allow new parents to represent their constituents by designating another member to vote for them, commonly known as proxy voting, for 12 weeks after welcoming a child.House Speaker Mike Johnson did not include the measure in the rules package for the new Congress in January and later released a statement stating he believes proxy voting is unconstitutional. Pettersen and Luna are aiming to circumvent House leaders with a procedural maneuver known as a discharge petition, filed by Luna on Monday, to put it to a vote. Historically, discharge petitions have rarely been successful, but as of Tuesday evening, the proxy voting petition had the support of 218 members, including 12 Republicans.Luna said the proposal currently meets constitutional standards.“The Republican Party is pro-family, I'm simply reminding them of that,” Luna told The 19th outside the Capitol. “Not to mention, we’re at the slimmest majority in U.S. history, so we need to be able to give access to parents to actually allow them to vote.”House leadership, specifically the House Rules Committee, controls what legislation makes it to the House floor. Luna and Pettersen are invoking the procedural maneuver to get their resolution out of the Rules panel and straight to the House floor for a vote. House Speaker Mike Johnson opposes the effort to let new parents vote.“There’s a lot of support for this — it makes sense,” Pettersen told The 19th on Monday. “The discharge petition exists [because] if the speaker stops something that’s very popular from coming to the floor, we have the opportunity to force a vote. I’m hopeful that there’s a path.”Pettersen had to stop traveling to Washington in mid-January due to her pregnancy. She gave birth in late January and returned to Congress a month later with her newborn son, Sam, to vote against a Republican blueprint for a sweeping tax, energy and spending package.“Unfortunately, I wasn’t given the opportunity to vote remotely after giving birth,” she said on the House floor, holding Sam. “But I wasn’t going to let that stop me from being here to represent my constituents and vote no on this disastrous Republican budget proposal.” Off the House floor, Pettersen told The 19th that she “didn’t want to miss a moment that I could make a difference.”“There was a point at which I didn’t know if I was going to be showing up in my pajamas with a suit jacket, because he wanted to be held,” she said. “I made, literally the night before I left, the final decision to bring him. I just couldn’t leave him.”Luna in 2023 was advised by doctors not to travel while she was recovering from a difficult birth. In a January video statement, she called not being allowed to vote by proxy while recovering a “slap in the face to every constituent” who elected her to Congress.Democratic Rep. Sara Jacobs of California and Republican Rep. Mike Lawler of New York have signed on to the measure as cosponsors, lending it bipartisan support.During the COVID-19 pandemic, House members could designate another member to vote on their behalf. Members of both parties made regular use of proxy voting, but some Republicans, led by former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, sued to end its use, calling it unconstitutional. Federal courts rejected those arguments, but McCarthy formally ended the practice when Republicans won back control of the House in 2022. “I have great sympathy, empathy for all of our young women legislators who are of birthing age. It’s a real quandary,” Johnson said in a January statement. “But I’m afraid it doesn’t fit with the language of the Constitution, and that’s the inescapable truth that we have.” Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna.When asked about Johnson’s stance, Luna said that while she believes the speaker “supports families,” his earlier argument no longer holds weight after they modified the petition.“He knows that, I know that. I’m right, he’s not right. So, we’re getting it passed,” Luna said.It was nearly 130 years after the drafting of the Constitution that Jeannette Rankin became the first woman to serve in Congress in 1916, three years before the 19th Amendment granted women the right to vote, a right that was still restricted for many women of color. It wasn’t until 1973 that Yvonne Brathwaite Burke became the first member of Congress to give birth in office.In an interview in January, Pettersen said the lack of accommodations for new parents reflects a lack of willingness on the part of institutions to evolve with the times. Pettersen gave birth to her first child while she was serving in the Colorado legislature and needed to get permission from leadership to go on leave and classify her leave as being for a “chronic illness” to get paid. She introduced legislation granting Colorado lawmakers 12 weeks of paid parental leave that passed in 2022.Campaign Action

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is initiating expanded research into understanding autism and potential links between vaccines and autism, a source familiar with the CDC’s planning said, NBC News reported.The CDC is one of the agencies that operates under the umbrella of the Department of Health and Human Services, the federal agency that President Donald Trump picked Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead. The Senate confirmed him to the post in a 52-48 vote last month.The possibility of a link between vaccines and autism has been repeatedly debunked by hundreds of scientific studies. But Kennedy made a profile for himself as an anti-vaccine crusader, criticizing the Covid-19 vaccine and claiming childhood immunizations are linked to autism. He also founded Children’s Health Defense, an anti-vaccine group. Andrew Nixon, a spokesperson for HHS, said in a statement that the CDC is “delivering” on the “high quality research and transparency” Americans expect.The CDC’s research plans were first reported by Reuters.Studies can often take several years, at least. It is unclear what the methodology for such research would be, how it would be funded or when results could be released or published.Roughly $419 million is spent on autism research in the U.S. each year.“As President Trump said in his joint address to Congress, the rate of autism in American children has skyrocketed. CDC will leave no stone unturned in its mission to figure out what exactly is happening,” Nixon said.Speaking to Congress Tuesday, Trump said: “As an example, not long ago, and you can’t even believe these numbers, 1 in 10,000 children had autism. One in 10,000, and now it’s 1 in 36. There’s something wrong. One in 36, think of that, so we’re going to find out what it is,” adding that there is “nobody better” than Kennedy to “figure out what’s going on.”The World Health Organization estimates that over the past 50 years, global immunization efforts have saved at least 154 million lives — the vast majority being infants.The myth that childhood immunizations cause autism was first proposed 27 years ago by a British doctor who was later banned from practicing medicine in the United Kingdom.Kennedy’s anti-vaccine claims were a part of his independent presidential candidacy in 2024. He eventually dropped out of the race and endorsed Trump, who adopted some of Kennedy’s points into a “Make America Healthy Again” movement.Incoming CDC director Dave Weldon and Kennedy go back at least two decades in their joint scrutiny of vaccines as a cause of autism.In a since-retracted 2005 Rolling Stone piece falsely linking vaccines to neurological disorders, Kennedy cited Weldon, a then-congressman, writing: “CDC officials are not interested in an honest search for the truth, Weldon told me, because ‘an association between vaccines and autism would force them to admit that their policies irreparably damaged thousands of children. Who would want to make that conclusion about themselves?’”The news comes during the worst measles outbreak in the U.S. in the past five years. The outbreak in Texas and New Mexico has surpassed 200 cases, and at least 23 people — most of whom are unvaccinated children — have been hospitalized. One 6-year-old died in Texas last week, and health officials suspect an additional measles-related death in an adult in New Mexico. The majority of cases center around a county in Texas with one of the highest vaccination exemption rates in the state.In an opinion piece published Sunday on Fox News, Kennedy called the decision to vaccinate “a personal one.” The HHS secretary did not direct the public to get the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine, instead urging parents to consult with their own healthcare providers.Liz Szabo contributed.This article first appeared on NBCNews.com.

Abbott is in Washington this week to lobby Congress for $11 billion to compensate Texas for money spent on his Operation Lone Star, to secure the border during the Biden Administration.by Matthew Choi, for Texas TribuneSign up for The Brief, The Texas Tribune’s daily newsletter that keeps readers up to speed on the most essential Texas news.More than 100 miles of Texas’ borderlands could be leased or sold to the federal government as part of the state’s partnership with President Donald Trump to harden the border, Gov. Greg Abbott said in an interview with The Texas Tribune on Thursday.Abbott is in Washington this week to lobby Congress for $11 billion to compensate Texas for money spent on his Operation Lone Star initiative, which he said was needed to fill gaps in the Biden administration’s immigration enforcement. The three-term Texas governor said he was ready to hand over to the federal government more than 50 miles of constructed border wall, nearly 20 miles of planned border walls, 100 miles of easements to build more walls, over 2,000 military beds for National Guardsmen and 4,000 jail cells to detain migrants.The exchange of real estate and working border infrastructure built under Operation Lone Star differentiates this request from past appeals Texas has made to the federal government for border enforcement, Abbott said.“This is not really a reimbursement,” said Abbott during a 10-minute interview at his Washington hotel. “This is a payment for real estate assets and improvements provided by the state of Texas as payment for services rendered by the state of Texas that benefits everybody in the United States of America.”Texas contains more of the southern border than any other state, stretching over 1,200 miles. Texas officials have long boasted having very little federally controlled land relative to its size.Abbott met with Texas Republicans and House Speaker Mike Johnson this week to make his case, as well as White House officials. Abbott also met with Trump last week.Sen. John Cornyn of TexasIt remains to be seen if Congress will allocate the funds or if Trump will support the move. Slashing federal spending is among Republicans’ highest priorities this year. Abbott didn’t say if his meetings with Johnson or Trump yielded support, but he described them as “very appreciative of everything that Texas did, and they thank us for Texas holding the line during the four years of open border policies under [President] Joe Biden.”Texas Republicans expressed unity and optimism about getting the reimbursement passed. Sen. John Cornyn has been one of the leading voices in the effort in Congress and said the Texas delegation can use its large numbers to push the priority to the forefront of Congress’ attention. Texas sends more Republicans than any other state.Cornyn added Abbott’s request is “a unique situation” because the money is for “expenses that were incurred by the state that should not have been incurred by the state, but for the failure of the federal government.”House Budget Chair Jodey Arrington, R-Lubbock, presented a draft budget resolution Wednesday, which would include $300 billion for border security and defense spending. Arrington supports the payment to Texas, calling it “the right and responsible thing” to do. But he acknowledged he would need to make sure whatever mechanism to send out the money is fiscally responsible. That would mean collaborating with members outside of the Texas delegation.U.S. Rep. Chip Roy, one of the most hawkish conservatives on reining in spending, was supportive of the reimbursement, saying Texas invested in infrastructure the federal government should have built.“$11 billion came out of the pockets of Texans. That's money that could be used for roads, for schools, for DPS, who should have been in Austin and Dallas and Dallas and San Antonio and Houston and not down on the border,” Roy said. “They were doing the job the federal government was supposed to do.”U.S. Rep. John Carter, R-Round Rock, serves on the House Appropriations Committee and said he was confident all Republicans on the committee would support the effort. He said it would be an easier sell because the infrastructure is already in place.Abbott launched Operation Lone Star in 2021, saying it was in response to Biden abdicating his responsibility to secure the border by rescinding several border-related executive orders from the Trump administration. Under the initiative, Abbott installed new border barriers and sent the state’s National Guard to the border, as well as bused over 100,000 migrants to cities around the country.Trump has vowed to take a far more hardline approach to border enforcement, including through declaring a national emergency at the border, initiating mass deportations and using military personnel to support border agents. Nearly 1,500 National Guardsmen from around the country have been deployed to the border, joining 5,000 Texas Air and Army National Guard members who are already there.When asked if the new tack of the administration would portend the sunset of Operation Lone Star, Abbott said it would lead “at least to a recalibration of it.”“Under Biden, there was zero resistance about people coming across the border. Now under Trump, there is maximum resistance coming across the border,” Abbott said. “National Guard can work in tandem with Border Patrol, with ICE to make sure we are able to maintain that resistance.”Abbott signed an agreement with the Trump administration earlier this month authorizing Texas National Guard soldiers to make immigration arrests as long as they work in tandem with federal agents. Abbott clarified Thursday that the agreement means they have the same authority as any ICE or Border Patrol agents, including “apprehending, arresting, jailing, and going through the deportation process.” He added Department of Public Safety officers were also working with ICE, embedding with ICE agents in their operations in Texas.“Whatever action that ICE would be going through for the deportation process, the National Guard members who are doing that have those capabilities,” Abbott said. "We have many Texas Department of Public Safety officers and Texas Rangers doing the same thing."His office later clarified that DPS agents were not directly arresting migrants but were partaking in ICE operations by creating security perimeters, investigating and using drones to locate migrants that ICE is targeting.Abbott said he would support whatever further actions Trump would take to enforce the border. He didn’t voice opposition when asked about the prospect of Trump invoking the Insurrection Act, which would open the way for the president to deploy active duty military on the border.“The president needs to do what he needs to do,” Abbott said, adding that Trump and Congress are currently focused on funding for additional personnel. “But the President, obviously, he was elected, primarily to secure the border, and he needs to take whatever actions are needed to make sure he's able to accomplish that goal.”‘Border czar’ Tom HomanAbbott aligned himself with former ICE Director Tom Homan, whom Trump appointed to be his “border czar,” particularly on which migrants enforcement efforts should prioritize: those “who pose a public safety threat, those who pose a national security threat.”But many migrants without criminal records have reportedly been deported. The White House has recently said that all migrants who crossed into the country illegally should be treated as criminals and deported. Abbott said he agrees with Homan, who said migrants without criminal records could be arrested when searching for migrants who do.Democrats have been fiercely critical of Operation Lone Star. U.S. Rep. Vicente Gonzalez, D-McAllen, called Abbott’s request a “reimbursement for a complete and utter failure.” Gonzalez said Operation Lone Star has been ineffective in curbing migrants and that the governor was engaging “political grandstanding” at the expense of tax dollars that could go to veterans or public schools.“Nothing to be proud of, Mr. Abbott,” Gonzalez said.Abbott did not meet with Democrats in the Texas delegation during his visit to Washington. U.S. Rep. Sylvia Garcia, D-Houston, said she was skeptical Texas would get the repayment.“I would never pay a bill without auditing it,” Garcia said. “I doubt that the President will do anything about it, because, as we've said before, it takes $88 billion to deport 1 million people. He's looking for money. The last thing he wants to do is send Texas $11 billion for something we didn't ask him to do.”Abbott shot back at the criticism during his interview, saying border crossings dropped sharply due to his efforts under Operation Lone Star. He cited the sharpest decline in the number of border encounters happening in Dec. 2023, refuting Democrats’ assertion that Biden was responsible for a steep drop off in crossings after issuing a border hardening executive order last June.“What the Democrats are saying is completely untrue. They have to fabricate this to try to protect Joe Biden,” Abbott said. “It didn't begin to decline when Joe Biden took this action in June, it began to decline the year before that, and it began to decline because of the success that Texas was having on the border.”The sharpest decline in border crossings was from December of 2023 to January of 2024, from over 300,000 encounters to about 176,000. Crossings continued to decline into June 2024, hovering around 100,000 encounters a month after then, according to the Department of Homeland Security.Abbott acknowledged the details of how the state would receive the requested $11 billion are still under discussion, whether it be through a lease agreement or a single deposit.“But once we get all the other big pictures items done, that's going to be a piece of cake,” he said.Campaign Action

WASHINGTON — In their quest to pay for President Donald Trump’s policy priorities, Republicans are eyeing Medicaid, the largest health insurance program for more than 70 million low-income Americans, as a program ripe for cuts. But they face obstacles that could block any sort of overhaul to the nearly 60-year-old joint state and federal program.

The House GOP’s budget resolution could be in jeopardy of not clearing the full chamber amid concerns from moderates over likely cuts to social safety net programs — particularly Medicaid — with a handful undecided on whether they will support the key measure.

Members of the Trump administration are apparently pressuring congressional Republicans to fast-track $175 billion in new border money, according to Axios.Trump’s “border czar,” Tom Homan, and Office of Management and Budget Chief Russell Vought told GOP senators during a closed-door meeting Tuesday that the administration is strapped for cash for President Donald Trump’s mass deportations and other inhumane immigration wants. Sen. Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, told reporters that Homan and Vought made clear that “we’re living on borrowed time.” After the meeting, Homan said that his message to senators was “more money, more success,” and he expressed optimism that the administration would find the money needed to continue its immigration operations. President Donald Trump’s “border czar,” Tom Homan.“Hopefully, we won’t run out of money,” he said. “The more money we got, the more bad guys we take off the street, the safer America is.”But it’s not just Homan and Vought who want lawmakers to shore up money for Trump’s immigration crackdown. Attorney General Pam Bondi, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem sent a separate letter to lawmakers requesting money for more border resources.According to Fox News, which also obtained a copy of the letter, the money officials are soliciting will go toward more law enforcement and military personnel, aircrafts and additional means of transportation to facilitate deportations, and materials and workers to finish constructing a “permanent barrier” at the border, among other things.At issue is whether the GOP-dominated chambers of Congress can get on the same page for their approach. Graham, the Senate Budget Committee chair, plans to mark up his own budget resolution on Wednesday, which includes more than $340 million in new funding for border security and the Pentagon, according to Punchbowl News. This amount, he said, provides enough funding for the next four years. Over in the House, however, Speaker Mike Johnson, Republican of Louisiana, pleaded with Graham to hold off. Johnson is apparently hopeful that House Republicans can pass “one big, beautiful [reconciliation] bill,” as Trump has advocated for, which would include various tenets of his agenda and an extension of tax cuts from his first term. But this is at odds with what GOP senators are angling for. Graham’s strategy, in particular, calls for two bills. Meanwhile, Senate Republican Leader John Thune of South Dakota has argued for a border and energy policy bill, while punting a second tax bill to later in the year.Even as Senate Republicans move forward with Graham’s bill, Johnson has said that he will not bring it to the House floor. “I’m afraid it’s a non-starter over here. I’ve expressed that to [Graham], there is no animus or daylight between us. We all are trying to get to the same achievable objectives,” Johnson told a CNN reporter Tuesday.It’s interesting that Republicans can’t seem to find the money needed to fulfill their hardline border and immigration agenda, considering that the federal government, under Trump’s direction, just capped funding for the National Institutes of Health’s research facilities. And if they can’t find the funding there, maybe enough federal workers will take Trump’s so-called buyout offer, vacating their positions with various government agencies.Either way, it’s foolish that the Trump administration is claiming to be low on cash when it has spent the better part of the past month axing federal agencies all in the name of making the government more “efficient.”When it comes to how and whether Republican lawmakers will acquiesce to Trump’s latest request, it seems that things are playing out in favor of Graham and the Senate. According to Axios, White House officials told GOP senators that the money earmarked in Graham’s bill would be enough to deliver on Trump’s border promises for the next four years. Now we just need to see whether Johnson will give up on his want for one big bill—and he might. Especially if Trump becomes so desperate for border money that he reneges on his previous ask.Campaign Action
