Republicans are allowing health care premiums to double for Americans already struggling to afford coverage — and now they're trying to distract us.

It’s as shameless as it is cruel.

BREAKING: President Obama issues a stark warning—authoritarianism isn’t creeping anymore, it’s sprinting.

Around the world, leaders are silencing dissent, controlling media, and twisting justice into a political weapon. His message is clear: democracy won’t survive if we stay silent.

I’m signing SB 41 to lower health care costs for all Californians.

Alongside the 2025 budget and CalRx, this bill marks the most aggressive effort in the nation to drive down prescription drug prices, boost transparency, and ensure savings reach consumers and families.

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 12h

Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois.

We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.

Seriously, they hide behind masks and push around moms and old men.

The great actress Diane Keaton has left us at the age of 79. Too soon to say good-bye to the woman who made us smile at the quirky Annie Hall, and who broke our hearts in Reds. Your charm and talent will be sorely missed.

GOP is incapable of governing like adults.

Representative Becca Balint @balint.house.gov · 10h

The GOP controls the House, Senate, and White House. And they love to remind us when it’s convenient for them. So it's on them to fund the government. If they want our votes, they have to come talk to us.

They know what we want: extend the ACA tax credits so the healthcare system doesn't collapse.
