House Republicans just passed a funding bill that does nothing to make health care more affordable. Instead, they doubled down on their Big Ugly Law that rips care from 17 Million Americans, all while prices soar and their donors get tax breaks.
I joined The USO and other Members of Congress to assemble a total of 2,000 care packages for our service members.    Once deployed, access to essential supplies may be limited. These packages can really go a long way.   Today, and every day, thank you for your service!
The First Amendment isn't a privilege granted by the President or the FCC, it's a constitutional right. Corporate media must stand firm against these attacks, not cave to a wannabe dictator & his henchmen. These threats against democracy won’t be ignored. We’ll hold those responsible accountable.
The Affordable Care Act premium tax credits are a lifeline for countless Americans across the country. If Congressional Republicans let these tax credits expire, 22 million people will be forced to pay higher premiums. We can't afford to pay higher health costs.
Hispanic heritage is American heritage! This Hispanic Heritage Month, we don’t just celebrate culture, we celebrate the generations of Latino immigrants, workers, and organizers who’ve built this nation. Let’s commit to protecting the rights and dignity of all who call this country home.
We can't let Trump and Dr. Oz turn traditional Medicare into Medicare Advantage. Each year, millions of seniors on Medicare Advantage are unfairly denied the care they need. We must protect traditional Medicare. Lives are at stake!
Dr. Oz and the Trump administration are planning a pilot program to require prior authorization for traditional Medicare, including using AI to determine who needs care.
Juan López, a tireless leader in Honduras & a well-known environmental defender, was assassinated one year ago today for defending natural resources & opposing corruption in his homeland. This week, I joined my colleagues in calling on Secretary of State Marco Rubio to pursue justice in the case.
Too many communities across the country face a shortage of health care providers. My EMPOWER for Health Act will reauthorize needed funding for workforce training programs to help meet our health care needs.
I applaud the FTC for using the tools granted to them by this legislation to ensure transparency in online marketplaces. We need consistent, bipartisan enforcement and action from the FTC to ensure bad actors are held accountable. Consumers deserve to know their products are safe and legitimate.
For too long, platforms like Temu have operated with little accountability, raking in profits from dangerous and deceptive practices online. This is exactly why I authored the INFORM Consumers Act, legislation that requires platforms to verify the identity of online sellers.
On this day, 24 years ago, our world changed forever. A bright, sunny morning quickly turned into one of the darkest days in our nation’s history. Let us honor and mourn all those lives we tragically lost on September 11, 2001.
Political violence has no place in a democratic society. No matter our political differences, every American deserves to live and speak without fear of violence. We must reject hate in all forms. My thoughts are with Charlie Kirk and his family.
Trump ally Charlie Kirk was shot at an event in Utah, a source familiar with the matter says. The extent of Kirk's injuries was not immediately clear. https://cnn.it/46wT7i4
The Supreme Court just gave police the green light to target you because of your race. This is racism. Plain and simple. We need accountability, and we need it now. It's past time we reform the court. Organize. Protest. Pressure. The power is with the people.
What happened at SCOTUS today is alarming: The right-wing majority allowed the Trump admin, as part of its sweeping immigration raids, to racially profile Spanish-speaking people who look Latino at certain low-wage job sites in the Los Angeles area while litigation challenging the raids is ongoing.
Workers deserve freedom, not handcuffs disguised as contracts. The FTC abandoning the non-compete ban is a blow to workers, but the fight is far from over. Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter's dissent shows exactly why independent commissioners are critical to holding corporations accountable.
Donald Trump doesn’t get to declare war on American cities. Chicago isn’t a threat, he is. We are a hardworking community made up of workers, families, and organizers. We won’t let a wannabe dictator terrorize our city. Not now, not ever.
