This holiday season, remember that rather than do anything to lower costs, Donald Trump recommended getting your kids fewer toys this year.
His priority is his billionaire donors, not the American people.

While you slept, the Trump administration banned abortion care for millions of veterans —including in cases of rape, incest, or to save their lives. Veterans who served our country will be less safe and less protected because of this cruel policy.

In just 7 days, Affordable Care Act tax credits expire. Speaker Johnson could have held a vote to extend them after 4 Republicans joined all Democrats on a discharge petition.
He refused, and now health care premiums will double for many Coloradans. We will force a vote to lower these costs.

House Democrats secured 218 signatures to force a vote on extending the ACA tax credits for 3 years.
We stood on the Capitol steps today with one message for Speaker Johnson: Bring this to the Floor immediately.
Instead, he sent Members home for the rest of the year. It is shameful.

While Donald Trump and Speaker Johnson claim to have a ‘concept of a plan’ and ‘hundreds of ideas’ for health care policy, the truth is much simpler: they have no real plan to address the health care crisis they created.

Yesterday’s attack at Brown claimed two lives, with eight students still fighting for theirs. I am praying for them and their families, and grateful for the officers who responded swiftly to stop the shooter. This epidemic of gun violence in our schools must end—enough is enough.

I am horrified by this morning’s antisemitic attack against the Jewish community in Sydney. Hate has no place in our society, here or abroad, and we must condemn it wherever it appears.
I’m praying for the victims’ families and expect the perpetrators to be held accountable.

House Republicans just unveiled their so-called “health care plan,” which is nothing but a collection of failed policies hastily strung together in order to hide the fact that they are solely responsible for premiums that are going to double in the new year.

I've NEVER traded individual stocks throughout my time in public office.
I signed the discharge petition to ban Congressional stock trading because public service isn't about profit. It's about trust. Speaker Johnson should bring this bill to the floor, and Donald Trump should sign it into law.
