Back in DC with @DebbieDingell.house.gov & @RepHaleyStevens.bsky.social, we are still fighting for a path to reopen government that ensures affordable health care and food assistance will be accessible for Americans who need it most. Proud to be in this fight with them for our region and all of you.

On this #VeteransDay we show our gratitude to millions of men and women who answered the call and served America at home and abroad for the cause of Liberty. Today, veterans will be honored in Ohio and across our country. I urge all to take time to reach out and show gratitude to a veteran today.
50 years ago today, the SS Edmund Fitzgerald sank in Lake Superior during a violent storm. From 1958-75, this Great Lakes freighter carried iron ore from Duluth to Detroit, Toledo, and other Great Lakes ports. Today, we remember and honor the life and legacy of the 29 souls lost.
Celebrating 250 years of the US Marines—a proud tradition older than our nation itself. Today, I think of those who were always faithful to answer the call to serve. As we approach Veterans Day tomorrow, I also think of my own Marine uncles who fought for Liberty for all during WWII #SemperFi #Oorah
If we don’t extend ACA subsidies, premiums are going to double or worse. People can’t afford it. We need to make health care more affordable, not unobtainable and out of reach. Affordability is what we are fighting for. It’s time to come to the table and negotiate a real deal now!
We must protect health care because the GOP hasn’t advanced a health care plan in more than a decade. Yet, come January 1st they would wipe out ACA support for over 185,000 across NW Ohio.
Important to keep our eye on the ball. A devastating shutdown, costs rising, cuts to food assistance coupled with more and more tax cuts for big business and the ultra wealthy. This isn't what people voted for, but it’s what we get time and again.
Since before this government shutdown began, I have been a sponsor of bipartisan legislation in the House to extend the ACA premium tax credits for one year. 15 Republicans—14 Democrats—and no partisan politics. I am glad Senator @Schumer.senate.gov endorses our plan. Let’s reopen the government.
No parents should fear not being able to retire because DC Republicans refuse to extend health care assistance to those with disabilities and complex health needs.
If Congress doesn’t act, families like this will face rising costs they simply cannot afford.
This is what we are fighting for.
The President and the State of Ohio are cold hearted in refusing to act while more than 1.4 Million Ohioans struggle without food benefits. A $25 Million bandaid won’t help cover a $264 Million hole. Billionaires get enormous tax breaks. Ohioans can’t even get scraps. It’s cruel.
The ACA has changed lives and expanded care to many who had been left out in the cold. I will not stop fighting to help feed our neighbors, turn SNAP benefits back on, and to make sure that those tens of millions of Americans most in need of health care can afford it. This is a life and death issue.
Last Congress Kevin McCarthy was removed and the chair of Speaker was vacated. This year Speaker Johnson removed the entire Chamber for 48 days and the chair of the Speaker was vacationed. House Democrats are ready to meet to find the Big Middle and reopen government when he is.
Grocery prices keep going up, childcare and rent are unaffordable, and health insurance rates are about to skyrocket. This is just one of many NW Ohio constituents I am fighting for every single day. We must do everything within our power to bring costs down for those just trying to make ends meet.
On my way back to Washington. Hopefully we’ll be able to find compromise this week, and make sure that the other side of the aisle calls us back to work. The American people expect a whole lot from their members of Congress, and it’s time to settle this impasse which is harming the American people.
We are a nation of laws. I share the President’s desire to get government open again, and I’m ready to negotiate to ensure millions don’t lose health coverage, but the shutdown does not give him the authority to shut off food assistance to millions of working Americans. Court orders must be obeyed.
People are losing their healthcare. Children are missing meals. But in Washington they’re busy knocking down the East Wing and showing off the new marble lined gold embellished bathroom. #OutOfTouch
The government has been shut down for a month, health care costs are skyrocketing, food benefits are being withheld from tens of millions. What’s the President doing? Throwing a fancy party at his private club for Billionaires and Millionaires.
Wishing everyone across NW Ohio a safe and spooky Halloween! May your night be filled with laughter, light, and just the right amount of fright. As our communities come together, let's ensure that our neighborhoods remain safe for all the little ghosts and goblins enjoying the evening! 🎃
Feeding the hungry is a moral imperative. President Trump and the GOP have the authority to ensure hungry children, women, seniors, and veterans are fed but are choosing not to. Now federal judges have said he must tap the contingency fund to keep SNAP available for those in need.
This week, I returned to Washington. As the government shutdown is into its 30th day the vast majority of my colleagues are not here. If Congress doesn't act, millions of Americans will see their health care premiums double or even triple, and 42 million Americans will lose critical food assistance.
