This is about affordability. Senate Democrats are fighting to lower health care costs and make sure Americans get the care they need.
President Trump has the power to end this. But he won't lift a finger to make your life more affordable.
Grocery prices are up, SNAP benefits are delayed, and President Trump is still refusing to end this shutdown.

My daily blessing today is Jilly Stephens and the folks at City Harvest working around the clock to help provide meals for New Yorkers in need.
Last night’s results show the Senate is in play for a Democratic majority. Let's get to work!
President Trump has the money to fund SNAP, and the courts ordered him to use it.

It's simple, he needs to follow the court order and get Americans the food assistance they need -- now.
I'm back in D.C. fighting to lower health care costs for New Yorkers.
Groceries are more expensive, housing costs are rising, and health care premiums are about to spike.

And President Trump isn't lifting a finger to help working Americans.
Good luck to everyone gearing up for the NYC marathon tomorrow! Here's a pic from my run back in 1992.

Remember to pace yourself and enjoy the views!
President Trump had to be ordered to help hungry Americans. It's truly unbelievable.
President Trump’s priorities are building a White House ballroom and renovating a bathroom with marble, not feeding Americans or keeping their health care costs down.
One of my favorite eras! Maple as Taylor Swift and her puppy friend Fred as Travis! 🪩

Happy Halloween! #throwback
The clock is ticking, and health care costs are set to skyrocket.

Congressional Republicans work for you, and we can't let them forget it.
We're already facing a cost-of-living crisis in this country. And now working Americans have to pay the Trump Tariff Tax too.​
First President Trump unleashed his tariff chaos on our small businesses and now congressional Republicans are refusing to extend the enhanced ACA tax credits that small business owners rely on.

That's a one-two punch small businesses can't afford.
President Trump sent $20 billion dollars to his buddies in Argentina but won't use emergency funds to pay out food assistance for hungry Americans.

President Trump is Argentina first, American families last.
President Trump is bailing out Argentina while letting millions of Americans go hungry.
Inflation is up and health care premiums are set to skyrocket. And what is President Trump doing? He's breaking ground on his ballroom and sending billions to Argentina.
President Trump is ballroom first, American families last.
Millions of Americans like Nancy depend on key Affordable Care Act tax credits to pay for health insurance, and nearly 80% of the public want us to extend them.

But instead of working to bring down health care costs, congressional Republicans shut down the government.
Supporting small businesses means extending the key Affordable Care Act tax credits.

It's time for Republicans to stand up for our communities.
Prices are up. Health care premiums are set to skyrocket.

It's clear that Trump and Senate Republicans aren't lifting a finger for working Americans– that's why I'm working non stop to elect Democrats who will.
No American should be forced to choose between medical care and groceries.

Senate Republicans know it doesn't have to be this way. And they still refuse to bring down health care costs for their own constituents.
Without key Affordable Care Act tax credits, a person making $65,000/year in Tompkins County, NY would pay close to $10,000/year for health insurance. And that's the cheapest plan available.

If Senate Republicans let the tax credits expire, people won't be able to afford health insurance. Period.
