Because of President Trump, you lose out on compensation if your flight home for Thanksgiving gets delayed and massive airlines get to keep more profit for themselves.
Without extending discounts on health care premiums, a 31-year-old making $50,000 in Senators Deb Fischer’s and Pete Ricketts’s state of Nebraska will go from paying $270 in 2025 to $415 in 2026.

President Trump and Republicans are kicking millions of people off their health care, taking away food assistance, attacking democracy, encouraging corruption, and raising costs. This is Project 2025 in action.
Without extending discounts on health care premiums, a family of five making $165,000 in Senators John Curtis’s and Mike Lee’s state of Utah will go from paying $1,169 in 2025 to $2,421 in 2026.

I congratulate Audrey Azoulay on completing her term as UNESCO's Director General. UNESCO and the world are far better off because of her pragmatic and passionate leadership. The U.S. should build on her legacy by rejoining UNESCO.
Without extending discounts on health care premiums, a 26-year-old making $36,000 in Senators Mike Crapo’s and Jim Risch’s state of Idaho will go from paying $96 in 2025 to $231 in 2026.

A new report from inside CECOT details the torture, sexual abuse, and cut off from lawyers that inmates suffer. The Trump Administration pays El Salvador to hold migrants who've often been sent there without due process. Your tax dollars are being used to finance torture. https://bit.ly/4pcyu1n
Without extending discounts on health care premiums, a family of four making $125,000 in Senators Lisa Murkowski’s and Dan Sullivan’s state of Alaska will go from paying $654 in 2025 to $1,038 in 2026.

No country can be a healthy democracy without free and fair elections. President Trump pardoning his friends who tried to overturn the results of the 2020 election isn’t just an attack on democracy, it’s an attack on your vote.
Without extending discounts on health care premiums, a family of three making $110,000 in Senators Bill Cassidy’s and John Kennedy’s state of Louisiana will go from paying $779 in 2025 to $1,612 in 2026.

Today, we honor and thank our veterans for the sacrifices they made to protect our freedoms. Congress must work together to support America’s veterans and their families.
Quality, affordable health care is a human right. Republicans refused to come to the table to protect millions of Americans from having their health care costs double, triple, or even quadruple overnight. I voted no.
Right now, farmers have to pay for repairs they already know how to do. That’s why I’m leading a bill with my colleagues that gives farmers the ability to fix their own tractor or other pieces of farming equipment to save them time and money.
