House Republicans are trying to take away health care from nearly 14 million Americans and force community clinics to cut services or close. They also want to take away food assistance from kids, seniors, and veterans. @levin.house.gov explains more in today’s Democratic Daily Download.

It is imperative that we address our nation's deep deficits and debt and ensure Americans do not continue to bear the brunt of this administration's fiscal irresponsibility. Let us keep working to rebuild the economic strength & stability of our country.

Sadly, Republicans remain focused on forcing through their "big, beautiful bill" that rips health care coverage away from millions of Americans and explodes the national debt in order to pass their massive tax cuts for the wealthiest individuals.

This shift comes as no surprise as the Trump Administration's trade & tax policies will add trillions to our debt and slow our economy according to a multitude of warnings from analysts and experts.

I was saddened to learn of my good friend & former President Joe Biden's cancer diagnosis. Joe has persevered through the many challenges, and I know he'll continue to do so as he endures this battle. I extend my support to the Biden family and pray for a full recovery.

Who is even running HHS? Secretary Kennedy or Elon Musk? It is clear that the Trump Administration is making decisions to appease billionaires with little consideration of the consequences these cuts are having on the American people.

The Federal Trade Commission needs to be loyal to the country & the oath that we take to the Constitution, not to any individual or administration. I will continue working to ensure the FTC remains nonpartisan & is able to maintain the public's trust & its credibility.

Trump's funding cuts to the U.S. Department of Labor does little to support our workers and ought to concern us all. Watch @democrats-appropriations.house.gov as we push against the Trump Administration's budget that would eliminate job training and critical protections for the nation's workforce.

I join to mourn the loss of my friend, former Senator Kit Bond. Kit was a skilled legislator who was never afraid to work across the aisle or buck his own party to deliver results for Missourians and the American people. My prayers are with his loved ones.
