The White House may have a new gilded ballroom and a new marble bathroom, but hardworking Americans are struggling to afford housing.
It's time for the federal government to get off the sidelines when it comes to solving our housing crisis.

It’s clear President Trump’s involvement with Jeffrey Epstein is more than he wants us to know.
The answer is simple: release the Epstein files. The American people deserve answers.

I’m more focused than ever on holding Republicans accountable for the health care crisis they created.
They have 2 months to keep costs down for millions of Americans.
If they don't, the American people will know who’s responsible.

I didn’t vote for this deal. But where do we go from here?
I know there are House members from both parties who want to keep our health care crisis from getting worse.
It’s on Speaker Johnson to hold a vote, restore these tax credits, and bring down costs.

A 50-year mortgage just shows how shortsighted this administration is.
For a slightly lower monthly payment, you end up paying WAY more interest in the long term.
We need to pass real solutions to bring down housing costs- not just move costs around to benefit big banks.

May we all take today as an opportunity to pause, reflect, and express our gratitude to those who have served in uniform to defend our country.
Wishing everyone a meaningful and blessed Veterans Day this year.

Let Me Be Blunt: promises won’t bring premiums down.
The government funding deal that just passed the Senate simply isn’t good enough.

My full statement on the continuing resolution to end the government shutdown:
The president is willing to try everything - including unproven strategies that undercut Americans’ bargaining power - to avoid extending tax credits that we KNOW will bring premiums down.
It’s time for Republicans to get serious about addressing this health care crisis.

It’s unconscionable how hard this administration would fight the court to deny people access to nutritious foods.
But as they leave Americans behind, many of our states are stepping up to fill the gap.
That’s why I introduced the SNAP Back Act— to repay states that do the right thing.

The only path forward is a deal that protects peoples' health insurance. Trump just needs to get involved in the art of this deal.

Today's Democratic proposal reopens the government, provides immediate relief to millions of Americans whose health care premiums are about to skyrocket, and creates a pathway towards a long-term solution for the tax credits that are critical to health care affordability.

It’s unbelievable that we’re in the longest shutdown in HISTORY… and Donald Trump is still too scared of Democrats to work out a deal and prevent huge premium increases for millions.

This plan is plain and simple: reopen the government, and extend the ACA tax credits as-is for 1 year so families don't have to suffer while we work to negotiate long-term fixes.
We have the chance to make a real impact— I hope my Republican colleagues will join us.

People are already feeling the pain of higher grocery bills, housing costs, and energy costs— they can't afford the cost of health care skyrocketing even further.
They thought Trump's 'Golden Age' meant affordable gold plans, but all they got was an outrageous golden ballroom.

Trump knows Republicans own this shutdown and its impacts on the American people.
We all know this needs to end.
It’s time for him to bring his party to the table so we can fix the health care crisis they created and reopen the government.

You don't need an ID to buy groceries or gas, and every state verifies the identity of its voters.
The 'voter ID laws' he's talking about are meant to intimidate and shut people out of our Democratic process— of course we're not just going to let it happen.

Trump: "All we want is voter ID. You go to a grocery store, you have to give ID. You go to a gas station, you give ID. But for voting they want no voter ID. It's only for one reason: because they cheat."

With open enrollment underway and premiums set to skyrocket, I met with health care advocates in Wilmington to discuss the impacts they're seeing in our state.
