They just passed an extension to the Affordable Care Act subsidies that expired last month.

The bill now heads to the Senate, which MUST PASS this bill and provide relief to the millions of Americans facing skyrocketing health care costs.

The Senate just passed a bipartisan vote signaling deep concern about Trump’s continued military actions regarding Venezuela. Americans don’t want us to “run” Venezuela and they deserve to have their voices heard.

We've heard your concerns, Illinois.

Families are paying more to keep the lights on, and Trump's only making it worse.

With the steps we're taking, residents today will benefit from new jobs and lower prices and residents tomorrow will benefit from a stronger power grid.

Despite the bluster and the bullshit it’s clear his powers are ebbing….

Commentators have to stop describing these rebukes of Trump as rare. The Senate voted to roll back his tariffs. Both chambers delivered a historic rebuke on the Epstein files. The House is voting this week to undo part of his health care agenda and override two vetoes. His coalition is fraying.
NEWS: Senate votes 52-47 to advance a measure restricting Trump's power to use military force in Venezuela.

A rare warning shot from Congress to Trump as he dials up foreign rhetoric.

Voting YES: Democrats + Rand Paul, Collins, Murkowski, Young, Hawley.

New Yorkers built a movement around the belief that every family should be able to afford a dignified life. Today, as Governor Kathy Hochul and I mark our commitment to universal childcare, we're proving that a movement of the people can transform how government serves the people.

2025 saw 71 lawsuits filed, 51 cases ruled on, 40 wins secured. That means billions in education, research, FEMA, and SNAP funding protected. That means troops off the streets in LA, Portland, and Chicago. That means birthright citizenship remains the law of the land. And so, so, much more.
