NEW: We're suing the Trump Administration yet again to protect affordable housing.
I just filed a lawsuit to challenge the Trump Administration’s decision to unlawfully cut over $100 million used to provide access to housing for our most vulnerable Pennsylvanians.

The Speaker said House Republicans are going to "continue" to reduce the cost of health care & prices.
But as 24 million Americans are seeing a shutdown of their health care without ACA tax credits & millions more are feeling the pinch of Trump's tariffs — this talk is cheap. America needs action.

This Thanksgiving, Philadelphians can thank President Trump for higher prices.
Instead of bringing prices down on “day one” like he promised, Trump’s chaotic and destructive economic agenda is making it harder for Americans to afford this holiday season.

One of my constituents, who relies on ACA tax credits, told my office she doesn't know what she will do if her premiums go up anymore.
At this week's @waysmeanscmte.bsky.social hearing, I asked a witness what we need to do.
His response: First thing is to “extend these tax credits today.”

Family caregivers play a vital role in our health care system, but far too often their work is overlooked and undervalued.

Millions of Americans are currently seeing a shutdown of their health care. And thanks to the GOP’s dirty CR, a handful of Republican senators can line their own pockets with MILLIONS of your tax dollars.
