The day the Affordable Care Act passed was one of my proudest moments as president, because it meant that millions of Americans would have access to health care, some for the first time.

Sixteen years ago, the Affordable Care Act was signed into law— a historic victory that allowed millions of Americans to access health care.
Today, health care is under attack by Republicans. House Democrats are fighting to keep health care affordable and accessible for all Americans.

16 years ago today, President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act into law, clearing the way for millions to access affordable health care.
Democrats won’t stop fighting for health care to be a reality for all.
By 2025, the Affordable Care Act helped provide health care coverage for 45 million Americans.
Republicans have since taken a sledgehammer to the ACA to pay for tax cuts for the wealthiest among us. It's wrong, but Democrats continue to fight to protect access to health care.
It's important not to shy away from candidly discussing the President's increasingly erratic behavior. His worsening instability is a clear and growing threat, not only to the American people but to the world.
Robert Mueller served our nation with integrity and a commitment to the rule of law. My deepest condolences to his family and all who knew and respected him. May he rest in peace.
This is Trump looking to create more problems rather than find a solution.
The solution here is to pass @delauro.house.gov bill to fund the law abiding parts of DHS.
Trump: "If the Radical Left Dems don’t immediately agree to let our Airports be FREE & SAFE again, I'll move our patriotic ICE Agents to Airports where they will do Security, including immediate arrest of all Illegal Immigrants, w/heavy emphasis on those from Somalia, who have totally destroyed MN."
With the National Cherry Blossom Festival and America 250 celebrations approaching, NPS must immediately end any effort to intentionally cut off public access to DC and the National Mall.

@eleanornorton.bsky.social, @mikethompson.house.gov, and I are demanding that NPS immediately halt any plans to remove this bike lane, which is a vital commuter route for DC-area residents.
Our GUARDRAILS Act would prohibit Trump's previously announced AI executive order from taking effect to ensure states can enact commonsense safeguards in the face of rapidly evolving AI technologies.

I've introduced the GUARDRAILS Act with @schatz.bsky.social @dorismatsui.bsky.social @reptedlieu.bsky.social @sarajacobs.house.gov @repaprildelaney.bsky.social to ensure that.

But until federal action ensures safe and responsible AI development, deployment, and use, states must retain the ability to implement policies to protect the American public.

The WH National AI Policy Framework reinforces the Trump administration’s commitment to preempting state-level AI laws without the establishment of clear, enforceable federal guardrails to address the urgent risks posed by AI systems. It even seeks to limit Congressional regulatory action.

Eid Mubarak to all celebrating the end of the holy month of Ramadan! May this time be filled with love, joy, and peace.
Instead of working on policies to make health care more affordable, the Trump Administration is promoting a sham Trump Rx website with access to drugs that already have cheaper generic options or can be found for the same or lower price through other discount services.

Between tariffs and a war with Iran, Trump keeps delivering what people didn’t ask for: higher prices and more uncertainty.
Americans didn’t ask for this. And they shouldn’t have to bear the cost of it.
A relief to see the courts uphold science, public health, and evidence-based medicine. This is hopefully the first of many steps to undo the damage done by RFK Jr. and his team of quacks.

If Republicans know negotiations remain ongoing and if they truly cared about shutdown impacts, they’d move with Democrats to fund FEMA, TSA, cybersecurity, Secret Service & Coast Guard.
My bill does that while keeping ICE & CBP negotiations separate.
They are out for themselves, with no regard for ethical and honest public service.
We've never seen anything like it, and the rot comes from the very top.
The corruption in this Administration is the worst in American history, and my Republican colleagues continue to turn a blind eye.
Before they were even sworn in, senior Trump appointees and their families viewed their positions as a license to steal.
