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.

NEW: I introduced legislation with Rep. Ciscomani and @repmcgarvey.bsky.social to help our veterans seamlessly transition to civilian life and receive the benefits they’ve earned without unnecessary gaps in care.

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.
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.

Democratic Representative Don Beyer of Virginia wrote, “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.”

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.
Relatedly, guess whose taxes Trump and the Republicans are about to cut?
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.

Folks, the ACA is now covering historic numbers of Americans, and open enrollment is going on right now.

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.

My name is still Tim. I’m still a U.S. Senator from Virginia. Now I’m also on Bluesky. And it’s good to be here.
