I joined @demwomencaucus.bsky.social today to demand that Republicans get back to work with Democrats to prevent catastrophic increases in health care costs. Millions of women are at risk of losing health care due to skyrocketing costs—Congress can and must prevent that from happening.

It turns out that illegally firing federal workers as a negotiating tactic is bad for everyone.
These are the moves of someone who believes there are no checks on his power.
Come to the table, lower the cost of health care, open the government.
