On July 1, 1966, Medicare began in the United States, extending health coverage to almost all Americans over 65. Since then, millions of people have access care under these basic needs program.

The Republican budget bill would hurt American families by taking away health care and food to fund tax cuts for the wealthy.
I spoke with @contrariannews.org on Friday about the reconciliation fight and more. Find our full conversation here. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2V3m...
Every child born on U.S. soil is an American citizen, regardless of their background. I remain adamantly opposed to Trump's Executive Order, and I will continue to fight for all Americans.
The Supreme Court's decision on Friday hamstrings the ability of federal courts to block unconstitutional policies from the Trump Administration and only fuels further chaos and confusion.
I urge Congress to work to pass more investments in our education system to support underserved and disadvantaged communities so that we can achieve more equitable outcomes for our future generations.
Two years ago, the Supreme Court struck down affirmative action, heavily restricting how universities consider race in the admissions process. This wrongly ignores the impacts of racism on our society today and abandons the very purpose of the Equal Protection Clause in the U.S. Constitution.
Under the Republican "Big, Ugly Bill," high-income individuals are expected to gain approximately $12,000 per year, whereas working-class Americans may face an additional annual burden of $1,600. This administration is the reverse Robin Hood, taking from the poor to give to the rich.
Today is National HIV Testing Day, an important reminder to check your status and access the necessary care and treatment. I care for the wellbeing of all those in the Ninth District, and this is one way to stay healthy.
I joined CNN last night to talk about the devastating "Big Ugly Bill". youtu.be/SqVAU_TCO98
We’ve seen workers wages go down while corporate profits and shareholder returns go up — to the point that people can’t live in cities like New York City or Seattle.
We need to aggressively go after that concentration of wealth so that we have more broad opportunity for working people.
I joined fellow House Democrats in hanging a replica outside my office, because their dedication to this country will not be forgotten.
Over three years ago, my colleagues and I voted to honor those who bravely defended the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021 with a plaque. Republicans have refused to follow the law and install this in memory of their courage.
I spoke to @cspanwj.bsky.social this morning about supporting a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants.
This ruling is callous and strips aware necessary health care access for many women across the U.S.
The Supreme Court’s decision to let states cut Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood will severely impact millions of people’s access to health care. Planned Parenthood provides care such as cancer screenings, STI testing, and birth control that women rely on.
Thank you to Washington State University President Betsy Cantwell for meeting with me today. Washington State is driving innovation, research, and economic impact throughout the region, and I look forward to seeing what they do next. Go Cougs!
It is deeply troubling that Sec. Kennedy is pulling U.S. contributions to Gavi. These contributions have helped immunize over 1.1 billion kids and has avoided over 18.8 million child deaths. This administration is jeopardizing lives, hurting U.S. interests, and defying science in one fell swoop.
Too much wealth concentration is happening in this country. Corporations and the wealthy have way more power and control than the average working person.
If we want to try to correct that, I'm all for it.

One thing that Mamdani correctly identified in his mayoral race in NYC is that life is too expensive for working people.
Housing is too expensive, child care is too expensive, education is too expensive.
Today marks the 10th anniversary of the Obergefell v. Hodges decision, legalizing same-sex marriage. All Americans, regardless of sexual orientation, should be recognized, and I look forward to many more couples celebrating their love together.
