Come January, ACA tax credits that help millions of Americans afford their premiums will expire.
Every House Democrat has signed a discharge petition to prevent health care costs from skyrocketing—but we need a handful of Republicans to join us in the fight.

The American people overwhelmingly support the Affordable Care Act.
So why are Republicans in Congress working every day to eliminate ACA tax credits that help working-class families afford quality health care?

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.

The president started a trade war that has crushed American farmers across the heartland and raised grocery prices on hardworking families.
Now he’s attempting to put out the fire he started.

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.

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.
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.
“Artificial Christmas trees will cost an estimated 10% to 20% more this season than they did last year because of increased tariff costs”
The president and his tariff taxes are stealing Christmas joy from families across the country

Republicans are actively choosing to drive up health care costs on hardworking families nationwide.
@housedemocrats.bsky.social won’t stop fighting to extend Affordable Care Act tax credits that will provide relief to millions of our fellow Americans.
There are only TWO DAYS LEFT in Medicare Open Enrollment.
Make sure you take some time to check out your options and see if there are any updates to your current plan by December 7th!

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.

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.
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.
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.

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.
There are tens of thousands of families in #MO05 who will see their health care costs skyrocket on January 1 if ACA tax credits are not extended.
But Republicans in Congress don’t care.

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.
“It really is all about tariffs”
The president’s tariff taxes were meant to support American manufacturing.
Instead, they have led to NINE straight months of contraction in the industry, while driving up prices for American consumers & small businesses.
