I’ve created a Starter Pack of House Democrats (and committee) accounts! I’ll continue adding as more of us join.

No matter what dysfunction we may face in the coming months and years, House Democrats are here in the People’s House to fight for the people — it’s simple.

Democrats get criticized for even talking about threats to our democracy in the abstract, much less specific examples.

Let what’s happening now be a lesson that the modern Republican Party is full in on authoritarianism.

Republicans caused this health care crisis.

We’re trying to clean up their mess.

Republicans just cut millions of Americans off of health care to pay for tax goodies to billionaires.

As for "working around the clock," they’ve sent themselves on a taxpayer funded vacation while Democrats are in D.C. waiting for them to come to the table and save Americans’ health care.

Mike Johnson: "Let me look right into the camera and tell you very clearly: Republicans are the ones concerned about healthcare. Republicans are the party working around the clock everyday to fix healthcare. This is not talking points for us: we've done it."

Project 2025 co-author Russ Vought is leading the charge to weaken Social Security benefits.

Oh, and they’re planning to use AI to determine eligibility.

Republicans want to leave Americans sicker, poorer and struggling to live with dignity.

Exclusive: The Trump administration is preparing a plan that will make it harder for older Americans to qualify for Social Security disability payments, part of an overhaul that could result in hundreds of thousands of people losing benefits.

Trump plan would limit disability benefits for older Americans

Trump administration officials are considering eliminating age as a factor in deciding whether someone is capable of working.

Rick Scott was forced to resign as CEO of the hospital company he is referencing here, and pay a then record breaking $1.7 billion fine to settle a Medicare fraud scam.

Why would the GOP or cable have him on as a voice for delivery of affordable health care?

No warrants, no probable cause, detaining citizens. Zip tying children, using flash bangs, repelling through people’s windows and destroying their homes at night.

This Administration is lawless and abhorrent to our Constitution.

We are the frogs in the boiling pot.

Here are the actual factuals of yet another GOP shutdown.

Republicans expect Dems to greenlight a spending bill that 1. continues to permit Trump to slash funding Congress approved and 2. that fails to address the GOP health care affordability crisis.

Republicans once again showing they’re willing to throw their own constituents under the bus.

They’d rather keep the government closed than come to the table and work to help keep health care affordable for millions of Americans.

I’ve had a chance to review the recent framework to bring peace to the Middle East.

It’s time to end the needless suffering of the people in Gaza, and I implore the children of Abraham to let peace prevail.

Curious about the impacts of expiring ACA tax credits and cuts from the Big, Beautiful Bill in your district?

These are unmistakably the actions and aspirations of an autocrat and simply not consistent with American values.

Military service members take an oath to defend the Constitution and not a man for good reason.

Trump continues abusing the military as a political tool and damaging the reputation and moral of our fighting men & women.

I'm here in D.C. but my Republican colleagues in the House have skipped town.

They have a TRIFECTA yet are still unable to govern.

Donald Trump can block the BLS job reports all he wants, the private sector still shows a clear trend: Donald Trump’s economy is failing American workers. Job growth is stalling, wages are lagging, and families are paying higher price at the register.

Abortion remains LEGAL in Wisconsin, but Republican’s Big, Beautiful Bill has drastically reduced access to care.

If you thought this legislation wouldn’t have an immediate impact on the health care system, well here it is.

House Republicans are shutting down the government in about 12 hours, and they've all skipped town.

House Democrats are in D.C. because there's no time for a break when American's health care is on the line.
