Instead, we’re focused on fixing the Republican-created health care crisis by extending enhanced tax credits to protect Americans from skyrocketing premiums and striking cruel provisions in the #BigUglyLaw that gut Medicaid.

Did you know that undocumented immigrants are prohibited from receiving health coverage under the ACA, Medicare, and Medicaid? Nothing in Democrats’ alternative Continuing Resolution government funding bill changes that.

Being LGBTQI+ isn't a disease & it's not something that a therapist should be trying to “fix.” Conversion therapy is opposed by every major medical association in the U.S., & today I’m calling on #SCOTUS to protect young people & uphold states' bans on these cruel, disproven practices for minors.

It’s Day 3 of the #RepublicanShutdown. Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the presidency—yet here we are, still waiting for them to negotiate. I’m fighting for our federal workers, our armed forces, and to protect your health care.

I’m closely monitoring this situation & have made my office available to assist as we await further information.

This government shutdown affects you, so I want to talk directly with you. Join me and #FamiliesUSA tomorrow at 10 AM CT for an Instagram Live, where we’ll discuss Republicans’ healthcare cuts, #ACA tax credits, and what this means for you.

It’s Day 2 of the #RepublicanShutdown & they’re still MIA. It’s time for them to come back, do the right thing, and WORK. Dems wanted to start these negotiations months ago, but Republicans wouldn’t come to the table. I’m here & I’m ready to talk. But I WON’T sacrifice Americans’ health care.

Shutting down the government is reckless and irresponsible. Shame on the Republicans for fleeing town and refusing to negotiate as we fight for the healthcare of the American people. I’m still here with #HouseDemocrats and we’re not leaving.

We can’t allow the dysfunction of government to punish everyday Americans by letting the National Flood Insurance Program lapse, leaving families & businesses without critical protection. I introduced bipartisan legislation to reauthorize the #NFIP ahead of its scheduled expiration at 11:59 tonight.

Politics is supposed to be about compromising to do what’s best for the American people. But right now, the other side of the aisle is empty. Republicans aren’t here—because they don’t care about you, your health care, or even doing their jobs to keep the government open.

We won’t stand by while they play politics with your health care & refuse to come to the table to negotiate.

College football is back! 🏈 While we’re cheering for our favorite teams, we also need to protect young athletes. On episode 5 of What Makes America Tick?, I sat down with #YahooSports’ Ross Dellenger to talk about #NIL, the #SCOREAct, & more.

The war against cannabis has been a failure & nothing short of disastrous for our communities, our economy, and justice. At our #Homeland hearing, I discussed how criminalizing marijuana separates families, strips people of opportunities, and saddles them with criminal records.

From commanding the Joint Task Force during Katrina to leading the security review of the U.S. Capitol after Jan 6, he has remained steadfast in his commitment to keeping our country & its people safe. This week he celebrated another trip around the sun, & I’m wishing him many more to come!
