Last week, House Democrats delivered a win for millions of Americans and forced a winning vote to extend ACA tax credits.

The Senate needs to pass this NOW. 500,000 Pennsylvanians are counting on it!

BREAKING: Senate Republicans just blocked the clean ACA tax credit extension that the House passed to save millions of people thousands of dollars each.

If you’re paying double or even triple for health insurance, blame Trump and the Senate GOP.

As millions of Americans drop their health insurance coverage because of this Republican-created crisis, the impacts will ripple through our ENTIRE health care system.

ERs will be overwhelmed. Hospitals will close. And costs will spike for everyone.
Fewer Americans sign up for Affordable Care Act health insurance as costs spike
The 3.5% decline in enrollment is linked to expiring subsidies and rising health expenses.

Paying more for your morning cup of coffee? Thanks to Donald Trump and his chaotic tariff-taxes, coffee prices are up over 20% compared to last year!

22 million Americans- including 500,000 Pennsylvanians- are counting on the Senate to act NOW!

The House already did its job by passing a bipartisan bill to extend ACA tax credits for 3 years. Our constituents can’t afford to wait any longer!

Americans are struggling to afford the ever-rising cost of groceries, housing, and health care.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump is more focused on building himself a new ballroom and running other countries. America deserves better.

First, the Trump-Vance administration let tax credits that help millions of Americans afford health care expire. Now they’ve stopped considering how many lives are at risk when setting pollution limits.

How do these policies ‘Make America Healthy Again’?

Donald Trump is a bully looking for anyone else to blame other than his own reckless policies for our faltering economy.

Trump’s abuse of power will cause more economic instability, jeopardizing working Americans’ jobs, mortgages, and retirement savings.

The Senate must act NOW to extend ACA tax credits!

As I said today at Temple University Hospital with @congressmanboyle.bsky.social - 500,000 Pennsylvanians rely on these critical tax credits to afford their health care. This is a matter of life or death!

Just as the Trump-Vance Administration weakens flu vaccine recommendations, in Philadelphia, and across the country, we are seeing a rise in flu cases.

Let’s be clear: vaccines save lives and are an essential way to keep you, your family, and our community healthy and safe.

Donald Trump is focused on his ballroom and sending out $100,000 checks for Greenlanders.

Democrats in Congress remain focused on making health care affordable and lowering costs for YOU.

Right now, nearly 500,000 Pennsylvanians are seeing their premiums skyrocket. 70,000 Pennsylvanians have already been forced to drop their health care coverage.

That’s why today, House Democrats forced a vote to end this shutdown of health care.

Today’s vote to restore the ACA tax credits that make health care affordable for millions of Americans was an easy YES for me.

I’ve said it before, and I will say it again — this is not a game! The Senate must join us to stop this health care crisis.
January 8, 2026 at 10:20 PM
Years?? Americans want a president actually focused on running *our* country and making life affordable for us here at home — not taking control of another country!

Once again, Speaker Johnson and most House Republicans' priorities are clear— and protecting your health care is not one of them.

Carrie and Jamie rely on ACA tax credits to pay for Jamie’s cancer treatment.

But now, thanks to GOP inaction, they're now seeing their premium skyrocketing by $1,302!

As Carrie said, cancer patients “should be worrying about getting themselves better, not how they’re going to pay for it.”

I condemn this brutal murder in Minneapolis by ICE agents.

There should be bipartisan outrage about this tragedy. The Republican majorities in Congress need to join with Democrats to demand reform and accountability. This violence cannot and should not be normalized.

The real plaque is required by law to be hung, yet on the fifth anniversary of this tragic day, Speaker Johnson and House Republicans still refuse to put it up. Shameful. (3/3)

We are forever grateful and indebted to the sacrifices of the brave law enforcement officers who defended the Capitol on January 6.

We cannot remain silent or try to erase this history. That’s why outside my DC office there is a replica plaque honoring their heroism. (2/3)
