Democrats’ discharge petition to extend ACA tax credits and prevent health care costs from skyrocketing will now receive a vote in the House! The Speaker should bring it up TODAY—not wait until January when the tax credits have already expired.
BREAKING: Four GOP reps. sign on to Dem health care discharge petition, providing enough numbers for a vote in the House. @alivitali.bsky.social has the latest.
Thrilled that another $9 million in funding is going to support the redevelopment of Parade Park, expanding access to affordable housing on Kansas City’s east side. I’ll keep fighting to lower housing costs and support the construction of affordable housing across #MO05 www.kshb.com/news/local-n...
The Affordable Care Act tax credits that help Americans afford their premiums expire in just two weeks. But House Republicans refuse to even hold a vote on extending these lifelines, ensuring premiums will skyrocket for millions of hardworking families.
LATEST: House Speaker Mike Johnson says he won't call a vote to extend enhanced subsidies under the Affordable Care Act, effectively guaranteeing they will expire at the end of this month.
As more evidence comes in, the data make clear that the president’s tariff taxes are killing good-paying jobs while driving up prices on American families. This is not a hoax—it’s the result of reckless and regressive economic policies.
NEW: The U.S. shed 105,000 jobs in October and added 64,000 in November as the unemployment rate crept up, offering little optimism for the labor market.
Republicans control the White House, Senate, and House of Representatives. If premiums skyrocket for millions of Americans because they fail to extend Affordable Care Act tax credits, they all will share in the blame.
GOP blame game: House Republicans are divided heading into a big health care vote this week.
The president said that he would lower costs on “Day One” Instead, the chaotic Trump Tariffs have cost American families an average of $1,200 so far this year. That’s why I’m fighting to reverse these reckless policies and lower costs for hardworking Americans.
On Bill of Rights Day, we celebrate the first ten amendments to the Constitution, which guarantee many of our rights as Americans. Now more than ever, we must uphold our shared values and work together to protect the rights and freedoms that define our democracy.
My heart breaks for the victims and those traumatized by the horrific mass shooting at Bondi Beach. As we grieve with those devastated by the latest act of antisemitism and gun violence, let us also stand with our Jewish brothers and sisters by continuing to condemn hate in all forms.
Australia’s deadliest mass shooting in almost 30 years has sparked an outpouring of grief, anger and solidarity from the country’s roughly 120,000 Jews, which include the highest per capita population of Holocaust survivors outside of Israel. https://wapo.st/48DyZfp
I will continue working with my Financial Services Committee colleagues and my partners across the aisle until we provide the relief that working-class families deserve. Because every American deserves a real chance at the American Dream.
From revamping the HOME program to revitalizing our federal rural housing programs, the legislation includes sweeping reforms and multiple bipartisan bills I have championed as the Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Housing & Insurance.
This bipartisan, comprehensive housing package will streamline housing development and affordability by updating outdated programs, removing regulatory roadblocks, and increasing local control. It’s time that Congress took action to lower housing costs for American families.
“The tax guidance is the latest win for large corporations and would provide additional tax benefits to companies” Meanwhile, the administration is allowing ACA tax credits to expire, ensuring health care costs skyrocket for working-class families. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
Our legislation would require a detailed study to grow our understanding of artificial intelligence (AI), its impact on the economy and workforce, and determine the skills necessary for workers to succeed.
