From every corner of the country, Dems showed up for work—traveling long days to do our jobs, to reopen the government, to save healthcare, to support our communities, and to save our democracy. Because, that is what we do. But, where are our GOP colleagues? Nowhere to be found.

It’s @housedemocrats.bsky.social Health Care Costs Week of Action! As women in Congress, @underwood.house.gov and I standing up for women’s and girls’ health nationwide. From safeguarding reproductive freedom to prioritizing maternal health, we’re fighting back against Trump’s Big Ugly Bill.

People don't need higher prices. They need affordable healthcare. That's why the fact that Republicans won't extend the Affordable Care Act premium tax credits will be devastating for families who will see their premiums increase by $720 per year.

Take it from a registered nurse: RFK Jr. is unfit to serve. His leadership has been a disgrace, and he needs to resign.

With record flooding nationwide, securing the 100-year-old Sylvan Lake Dam to protect Lake County homes is critical. I worked in Congress to bring home $1.3 million in federal funding for this project and was honored to join the ribbon cutting!

I had so much fun celebrating all the students who completed my summer Congressional Readers challenge and read at least 10 books this summer. Reading was one of my favorite hobbies as a kid. It’s great to see so many young bookworms in our community!

Republicans in Congress are cutting environmental protections, crippling the agencies that keep our water clean and our air safe to breathe, and raising your power bill. And for what? To protect corporate profits and give polluters a free pass.

Rep. Lauren Underwood@underwood.house.govJul 28(source)

Farmers in northern Illinois are on the front lines of the climate crisis. My bipartisan bill - the Strong Farms, Strong Future Act - will make sure farmers in our community earn more as costs go up & helps them fight climate change.

Politicizing health care with junk science in an effort to restrict our freedoms is unacceptable.

Rep. Lauren Underwood@underwood.house.govJul 19(source)

218 House Republicans voted to strip health care from 17 million Americans to pay for a tax break for the wealthiest 1% of Americans.
