It's worth repeating: in 30 days the ACA tax credits will expire leaving millions of Americans without health care.
It's up to Trump to figure something out, while @housedemocrats.bsky.social are ready to lower your healthcare costs today.

Hegseth should’ve never been confirmed as Secretary of Defense. Trump may have looked the other way, but our servicemembers won’t.

Trump’s proposal with Russia is utterly unacceptable.
It’s a disgraceful and incomprehensible capitulation that disrespects Ukraine’s sovereignty and mirrors Russian talking points.

At the Department of the Interior, I worked to limit offshore oil and gas drilling.
My first bill in Congress was to ban offshore drilling.
This year, I joined @carbajal.house.gov to ban future drilling in California.
