Economic chaos hurts workers the most. Trump’s policies are stalling hiring & putting working families at risk.

Pure ego-driven escalation. Trump is illegally raising your prices even further to strong-arm our European allies into selling Greenland, potentially costing American taxpayers $700B.
Republicans must stop sitting on the sidelines & help rein in this rogue president.

When it comes to women's health, accountability doesn't matter to Republicans.
Republicans voted down my amendment, which would stop federal funding from going to fraudulent pregnancy centers that provide women with misleading or deceptive medical information & endanger their health.

This is not a comprehensive plan to lower health care costs. Trump is trying to distract from Republicans passing the largest cut to Medicaid in history & letting premiums skyrocket by refusing to extend ACA tax credits.
Trump announces "The Great Healthcare Plan," but it's sparse on details
President Trump's proposal comes as the Senate is poised to vote on extending enhanced subsidies under the Affordable Care Act.

Deadly force by federal agents without accountability is a failure of the rule of law.
This investigation will help provide immediate transparency and stronger oversight to end this dangerous pattern and protect civil rights.

Democrats on the House Homeland Security Committee said they will begin their own investigation into Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, a process they say could well lead to her impeachment.

Senate Republicans blocked bipartisan legislation to extend ACA tax credits that lower health insurance premiums—again.
That means higher costs or losing health care for millions of Americans.

Private companies’ AI shouldn’t decide whether seniors get care. I’m pushing to stop new Medicare red tape that will delay treatment. Medicare providers should be able to deliver care when it’s needed.

After nearly a year in office, Trump has failed to get inflation under control because of his tariffs & failed economic policies. While Trump is focused on building his gilded ballroom, American families are forced to pay more & get less.
Price growth held firm in December, capping a year of persistent inflation
Overall, prices were 2.7 percent higher than they were a year ago, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Trump is targeting the Federal Reserve Chair because he wants to blame someone else for our souring economy & job market. The real culprits are Trump’s tariffs & economic policies.
Congress cannot be complicit in this abuse of power & must stand up for the independence of the Fed.

Slashing the childhood vaccine schedule from 17 to 11—without public comment or expert review—is reckless. Parents deserve science-based decisions, not dangerous shortcuts. Alongside @repkimschrier.bsky.social & House Democrats, I’m demanding HHS restore childhood vaccine protections.

Health care costs are skyrocketing because of the Republican health care crisis.
The House passed a Democrat-led bill this week to lower premiums by extending Affordable Care Act tax credits. The Senate must take it up immediately.

The deadly shooting by ICE in Minneapolis is unconscionable. There must be a thorough investigation and accountability. Our communities need to be safe.
An ICE agent shot and killed a person in Minneapolis on Wednesday, federal authorities said. The shooting in a residential neighborhood comes days after the Trump administration ramped up the agency’s presence in the city. Follow live updates. nyti.ms/4qgGgYU

Today marks five years since the January 6 attack on our democracy. I remain grateful to the Capitol Police officers for protecting me, my colleagues, & our democratic institutions. What happened that day was unconscionable. Political violence must never be tolerated or normalized.
