On the first day of Diwali, I am wishing all who celebrate a joyful festival filled with light and prosperity.

Throwback to when I visited the students and educators at Reynoldsburg City Schools. Many of them rely on affordable care and wanted to know why the govt. is shut down. I told them —no health care, no vote. Republicans know what needs to happen: a deal that protects care, so we can get back to work.

Rep. Joyce Beatty@repbeatty.bsky.socialOct 17(source)

Republicans are lying again. We don't have time — NOW is the time to reach a deal that opens the government and saves health care for the American people. Stop the cuts, lower the costs, and save health care. Period.

Rep. Joyce Beatty@repbeatty.bsky.socialOct 16(source)

The next generation of Ohio’s leaders are in our public schools. I’m thankful to have served as Principal for a Day with Reynoldsburg City Schools, meeting students, answering their questions, and sharing my passion for public service. 🧑🏽‍🏫🍎📚 Thank you to the RCS team for having me!

"People have confused 'underserved' with 'undeserving'..everyone is deserving of proper health care." Dr. Ellison, the physician I spoke to during today's hearing, couldn't have said it better. Democrats agree. Why don't Republicans? Watch the full clip here: https://bit.ly/4okyfkf

Arizona’s 7th District elected Adelita Grijalva, yet Speaker Johnson REFUSES to swear her into Congress. She would be the final signature needed to release the Epstein files. He has already sworn in three others. I joined DWC Chair Fernández and Grijalva to demand that we #SwearHerIn.

Rep. Joyce Beatty@repbeatty.bsky.socialOct 15(source)

Instead of being in Washington to get government reopened, House Republicans are on a FOURTH week of vacation. It's just wrong. There's no question — Democrats are here and ready to reach a deal that includes YOUR affordable health care.

Rep. Joyce Beatty@repbeatty.bsky.socialOct 14(source)

Republicans shut down the government instead of working with us to lower health care costs. Now, premiums will skyrocket if they don't act. We're focused on what matters: working to reopen the government and lowering costs for the American people. 🔗Watch the full clip here: https://bit.ly/4haCUmA

Honored to join this year’s Ohio Civil Rights Hall of Fame ceremony as one of last year’s inductees. Congratulations to the 2025 honorees, and thank you to the Ohio Civil Rights Commission and its sponsors for continuing this powerful recognition and for advancing the ongoing pursuit of justice.

Pleased to join my HBCU family at Central State University to discuss protecting higher ed funding, affordable health care, and reopening our government. Wonderful connecting with President Kuti, students, and my sorors—and proud to provide scholarships to two outstanding Marauders.

Our right to vote isn't negotiable. I joined Senator Padilla, Skye Perryman from Democracy Forward, and Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon, to advocate for Ohio voters and discuss our bill, which will establish stronger voter protections. 🏛️More about it here: bit.ly/3W03i8Z

My heart is with the families and workers hurting right now, and with every person who believed their government was meant to serve, not punish. Trump/Republican contempt for public servants is straight from Project 2025. Democrats will keep fighting for the dignity & health of our fellow Americans.

What Republicans won't tell you: everyone will be affected by pricey health care premiums. Democrats are fighting to keep costs low for Americans, because it hurts everybody when Republicans fail to act. Stop the cuts, lower costs, and SAVE health care. 🔗Full conversation here: http://bit.ly/473ltzN

I joined Senator Padilla to reintroduce a bill that establishes critical voter protections. 'Use-it-or-lose-it’ voter purges have stripped countless Americans of their voice at the ballot box. This bill is a crucial step toward preventing antidemocratic purges. 🔗Read more here: http://bit.ly/3W03i8Z

Republicans are waging a war on America’s health care. They cut Medicaid, and now, they're trying to hike up YOUR health care premiums! Bottom line: they're refusing to open up the government to provide the affordable care that belongs to YOU. It's simple: no health care, no vote.

Rep. Joyce Beatty@repbeatty.bsky.socialOct 7(source)

Today, we honor the lives lost on October 7 and in the devastating days that followed. We continue to pray for peace, compassion, and healing for all who have been affected in the region.

Republicans can’t defend their shutdown or skipping negotiations to reopen the government, so they’re spreading lies about our plan to lower costs and save health care. Unlike the Big Ugly Bill’s tax cuts for the rich, our fight for health care credits help middle- & low-income families.
