On January 1, Republicans allowed the Affordable Care Act tax credits to expire, doubling health care premiums for millions of Americans. More than a dozen Republicans joined Democrats to vote for these tax credits because they know their constituents are hurting.

What are Democrats doing about ICE in Minneapolis? I’m a co-sponsor of the Protecting Sensitive Locations Act to stop ICE from arresting law-abiding people near hospitals, schools, churches & courthouses. Americans shouldn’t fear ICE while going to work, worshipping or raising their families.

Trump’s speech at the National Prayer Breakfast yesterday wasn’t about faith—it was about partisan division and petty grievances.

It’s not enough that this vile, racist video was deleted. I call on my Republican colleagues to condemn this repulsive behavior and for the White House to explain how such hateful garbage was spread on Trump’s account.
BREAKING: President Trump's racist post about Obamas is deleted after backlash. The White House had defended it but now blames staffer.

Even if we don’t fund DHS, ICE still has a $75B budget. That’s more than the entire Marine Corps. So, I’m a co-sponsor of the Public Safety Act to move that money to state & local law enforcement that knows our communities and follows the law.

Republicans love to say—pay attention to what Trump says, not what he does. As the UK, Canada, and the EU move towards China due to Trump's erratic behavior, my new op-ed in TIME has my advice: it's time to pay attention to what our allies are doing, too.

Every week, I hear from Delawareans whose health insurance bills have skyrocketed—up hundreds or thousands of dollars per month. Families are already suffering under Trump’s economy, and these price hikes are unacceptable. I won’t stop fighting until we have real solutions that bring costs down.

We're already seeing the damage from Republicans' refusal to extend health care tax credits last year: 1 million fewer Americans signed up for ACA coverage this year. It’s only going to get worse as Americans realize that they can no longer afford their health insurance in Trump's America.

Good news – This reverses Trump’s brutal cuts to medical research and housing programs and forces Republicans to negotiate on ICE. If they don’t agree to real reforms in two weeks, DHS will shut down.
BREAKING: The House passes a bill to end the partial shutdown, sending the measure to Trump and setting the stage for Homeland Security debate.
