Open enrollment for Marketplace health insurance ends today — but Senate Republicans still have no plans to bring down costs for millions of families.

This health care crisis is on their hands—they had every opportunity to extend ACA tax credits but turned their back on Americans.

Under Trump's EPA, the agency is no longer taking health effects into account for clean air regulations—only focusing on the costs to businesses.

This is the antithesis of why the EPA was created and a slap in the face to Americans across the country.

RFK Jr. is using his position to carry out his decades long anti-vax agenda—in the middle of the worst measles outbreak in decades.
