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.
“This year, it’s $295 per month.” “And if the [ACA] subsidies go away Jan. 1, the price will be $1,216 per month, a 312% increase.” By killing ACA tax credits, Republicans are driving up the health care costs of hardworking Missouri families. missouriindependent.com/2025/11/26/m...
We’re now a full month into ACA Open Enrollment—and Republicans still don’t have a plan to prevent health care costs from skyrocketing on working-class families. It’s time they joined with Democrats to extend ACA tax credits that lower costs for the people.
Republicans promised a vote before the end of the year on expiring health care subsidies. Several have offered proposals, though it is not clear whether they can achieve sufficient support to pass the Senate.
On World AIDS Day, we remember the friends and loved ones lost to HIV/AIDS. Let us honor their memory by renewing our commitment to ending the stigma, advancing innovative treatments, and finding a cure.
70 years ago today, Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to give up her seat on a city bus in Montgomery, Alabama. As we remember this key moment in the Civil Rights Movement, may we honor her courage by recommitting to advancing equality and justice for ALL Americans.
We have so much to be grateful for in the United States of America. Today, I’m wishing everyone in #MO05 and across the country a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends.
For 10 months, Republicans in Congress have sat back and allowed this administration to move forward with countless unethical, unconstitutional, and deeply harmful actions without saying a word. But when it comes to helping American families afford health care, they decide to push back.
Exclusive: Speaker Mike Johnson cautioned the White House that most House Republicans don’t have an appetite for extending enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies.
Republicans could have extended ACA tax credits earlier this year—but they chose to extend tax breaks for billionaires and giant corporations instead. Now, working-class families are seeing their health care costs skyrocket.
Republicans are in a bind of Trump’s making: After voting to end the shutdown, they’ve yet to come up with a plan to tackle the upcoming spike in health care premiums.
We saw this same story during the president’s first term. American farmers need open, stable markets—not empty promises from the CCP and the administration. Instead of continuing the harmful tariffs and handing bailouts to Argentina, the president should provide relief to America’s farmers.
CNBC: My understanding is the White House said that China was gonna buy 12 million tons of soybeans from the US by January. That's approaching and they've only purchased 332,000. China has not confirmed that pledge. BROOKE ROLLINS: Your point is salient. We've got a significant way to go
Family farms and specialty farmers are hurting worse than ever because of the president’s reckless trade wars. That’s why I joined dozens of House Democrats in calling on the administration to provide immediate relief to these hardworking farmers nationwide. cleaver.house.gov/media-center...
