Republicans' cuts to Medicaid would force millions of American families to lose coverage and access to vital care. Their efforts to cut Medicaid to fund tax cuts for the wealthy is cruel and catastrophic for the health of hard-working Americans and our nation.

House Republican proposals to slash government spending on Medicaid could devastate the insurance program that covers 40 percent of District residents.

Trump brought back his politics of revenge & retribution while his promises that got him elected – to lower costs, fix immigration, make government more efficient – remain unfulfilled 100 days later.

From standing up for his constituents in VA-11 to battling his cancer diagnosis, my dear friend @connolly.house.gov has always been a fighter. I am proud to have served alongside Gerry in the House for 16 years, & his departure at the end of the 119th will be a great loss to our Congress & country.

On #WorkersMemorialDay, we remember those we've lost to workplace-related injury or illness. Today, my thoughts are with the families of victims in the Key Bridge collapse. We honor their memories by continuing the fight to improve and reinforce protections for workers to lead long, healthy lives.
