Millions of Americans will lose their health care if ACA tax credits are not extended. Every @housedemocrats.bsky.social has signed a discharge petition to prevent that from happening—and we won’t stop fighting to protect the health care of working-class families. abcnews.go.com/Health/1-4-a...
We’re 23 days away from ACA tax credits expiring—which will send health care premiums skyrocketing. @housedemocrats.bsky.social have a plan to provide relief to working-class families. We need a handful of Republicans to help us lower costs for millions of Americans. www.notus.org/congress/aca...
Every single House Democrat has signed a discharge petition to extend ACA tax credits that will prevent a spike in health care premiums for tens of millions of Americans. All we need is a handful of Republicans to join us and help save health care for working-class families.
Affordable Care Act subsidies that help millions of Americans pay for health insurance will expire in less than a month. Households will probably face spiking insurance costs next year if a bipartisan deal can’t be reached.
The Trump administration is making it more difficult for families to get essential vaccines that are proven to keep their babies safe. This decision goes against decades of evidence-backed data and will make America less healthy. It’s shameful.
Breaking News: A federal vaccine committee voted to end the decades-long recommendation that all newborns be immunized at birth against hepatitis B, a highly infectious virus that leads to chronic liver disease in most infected children.
With Americans demanding action to lower housing costs, Congress has an opportunity to pass bipartisan, comprehensive housing legislation like my HOME Reform Act to ensure every family has access to affordable housing. I’ll keep fighting until we get the job done. cleaver.house.gov/media-center...
Yesterday, I had the opportunity to speak with members of the National Housing Conference about the work I’m doing with Rep. Flood and @ushousefsc.bsky.social to cut through red tape, expand the supply of affordable housing, and lower housing costs for hardworking families.
Affordability may not feel real to a billionaire president—but it’s everything to working-class families trying to stay afloat financially. Unfortunately, the president is completely out of touch and does not care about the concerns of the American people.
Q: You talk about affordability. Are the American people getting impatient with the reforms you're making? TRUMP: I think they're getting fake news from guys like you. Look, affordability is a hoax that was started by Democrats.
The president’s tariff taxes continue to drive up prices, kill good-paying jobs, and crush American small businesses. Republicans in Congress must join with Democrats to put an end to these reckless trade policies before more damage is done.
🚨 CNBC on latest jobs numbers: "A big miss on ADP payrolls. The private payroll company saying private payrolls shed 32,000 workers in Nov. That's the 4th negative number in past 6 months. The estimate was for +40,000, so the street was off ... this may be coming from being hammered by the tariffs"
Whether it’s a loved one with cancer or a friend with diabetes, someone you know is alive today because of a medical breakthrough or essential research that is funded by the NIH. Cutting this funding will only lead to more unnecessary pain in our communities. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
None of God’s children are “garbage.” This kind of hateful rhetoric is despicable and does nothing to keep our communities safe. In fact, it only inflames tensions and leads to unnecessary violence. Immigrants have always been a vital part of what makes America great—and they always will be.
Trump on Somalis: "We're gonna go the wrong way if we keep taking in garbage into our country. Ilhan Omar is garbage. She's garbage. Her friends are garbage."
President Trump just pardoned a corrupt politician that was convicted of flooding our streets with at least 400 TONS of deadly drugs. Once again, he puts the wealthy and well-connected above the American people.
NEW: In a letter to Trump, Juan Orlando Hernandez cast himself as the victim of “political persecution” by Biden's DOJ & compared his fate to Trump's. Trump announced a pardon of Hernandez hours after receiving the letter. Hernandez was freed from prison yesterday, per the Bureau of Prisons.
