As the administration slashes investments in renewable energy and federal programs that help low-income residents pay for heat, families are facing another surge in energy costs this winter.
The American people deserve better.

A bipartisan majority of the House of Representatives supports a 3-year extension of ACA tax credits that help working-class families afford health care.
@housedemocrats.bsky.social are demanding a vote on that legislation TODAY to prevent health care costs from skyrocketing.
After a year of good-faith negotiations, I’m thrilled that we have successfully gathered the bipartisan support necessary to advance comprehensive and meaningful housing legislation out of the Financial Services Committee.

Americans do not want to send troops into another foreign war so that the president’s Big Oil benefactors can further enrich themselves.
The power to declare war lies with Congress—and we will not support another reckless regime change war.
I'll be voting for war powers resolutions affirming that.
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.
The administration’s shortsighted decision to slash investments in renewable energy is causing utility bills to skyrocket on working-class families.

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

American families in every community want Congress to take bipartisan action to lower housing costs.
That’s why I introduced the Housing for the 21st Century Act with Ranking Member Waters, Chairman Flood, and Chairman Hill.

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.
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.
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.
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.
Another community in America has been devastated by another mass shooting.
While we must pray for those who were killed and those who have lost a loved one, we must also push for ACTION that will prevent these tragedies, save lives, and keep our communities safe.

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.
Ranking Member Waters, Chairman Flood, Chairman Hill, and I have worked on legislation that cuts unnecessary red tape, accelerates the development of affordable housing, and reduces costs for families.
We’re proud to introduce the Housing for the 21st Century Act.
