It has been 12 years since the lives of 20 children and six educators were taken by a gunman armed with an AR-15 rifle at Sandy Hook School in Newtown, CT. Their legacies live on in the enduring movement that has been built over the last 12 years to end our nation’s gun violence crisis.

Democrats secured lower health insurance premiums, and more than 20 million Americans benefitted from enhanced premium tax credits. Republicans want to allow these credits to expire, forcing millions to lose access to affordable health insurance. thehill.com/policy/healt...

Today we celebrate two years since President Biden signed the bipartisan Respect for Marriage Act into law, protecting same-sex and interracial marriage. A huge milestone for equality, love, and civil rights!

A month after the election Trump admits his promises on voters' top issue were lies. He will not lower costs, in fact his plans will lead to Americans paying higher prices.

Direct File is a clear success story of making government better. The IRS made a free, easy-to-use way to file taxes directly. People who used it loved it. But wealthy corporate donors are losing money, so Republicans are trying to kill the program and make filing taxes harder.

new republican day one priority: making it harder and more expensive to file your taxes
NEW: Reps. Adrian Smith and Chuck Edwards wrote Trump a letter today urging him to terminate the IRS’s new free tax filing service, otherwise known as Direct File, on “day one” through an executive order. It’s co-signed by 27 House Republicans. https://adriansmith.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/adriansmith.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/Letter%20to%20President-Elect%20Trump%20re%20IRS%20Direct%20File%20-%20Version%20%232%20-%2012-10-2024%20%40%2005-22%20PM.pdf

Whether Trump "guarantees" it or not, the truth is that the tariffs he is threatening WILL raise prices for the American people. That's just a fact.

Welker: Economists of all stripes say that ultimately, consumers pay the price of tariffs. Trump: I don't believe that. Welker: Can you guarantee American families won't pay more? Trump: I can't guarantee anything..

Women make up more than half of the population of this country but House Republicans didn't elect a single one to lead a House committee.

"No Republican women lawmakers will serve as elected committee leaders next year" in the House, per Punchbowl. Ann Wagner was passed over last night for a House Foreign Affairs gavel after Brian Mast's "impassioned pitch" overshadowed Wagner's focus on why she was "qualified for the job." 🧐

Trump plans to continue transacting foreign business deals with an even worse ethics plan than his first term. He's tapping wealthy investors and billionaires to make decisions on regulations and contracts they may profit from—without divestment. A clear recipe for corruption.

What exciting morning at the FUSE Building opening with @georgemasonu.bsky.social which will be a game changer for learning, research, innovation in robotics, AR/VR, and data visualization. Thrilled to see this incredible resource in the heart of the 8th District!

With over three years remaining in IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel’s term, Donald Trump's announcement nominating former Rep. Billy Long to lead the IRS is a terrible mistake. My statement:

RFK Jr.'s running HHS means more kids could die from preventable diseases, stymying progress towards life-saving cures, and rolling back progress we’ve made to lower costs and provide better care. I joined Protect Our Care VA to emphasize the threat he poses to American health care.

I am awed by the bravery of all the Koreans who stood against the attempted coup. Our alliance with The Republic of Korea is strongest when centered around democracy and the rule of law.
