The administration just announced new tariffs that will drive up everyday costs for working families. Now tariffs are being used to pressure our NATO allies over Greenland.

The Admin. just made an appeal to the Supreme Court because it does not want to feed hungry Americans.
And the Supreme Court just agreed!
It is unconscionable that the Admin. is fighting this.
And for the Court to not realize that hungry people can't wait days for food ... Just unbelievable.

A nurse, cancer survivor, and mother from our district shared the many ways she depends on ACA tax credits. Without an extension, she’ll lose access to critical care.
We have a responsibility to protect affordable, accessible health care for her, and for every family who depends on it.
