Asked point-blank if he’ll bring ACA extensions to the floor, Speaker Johnson bolted. We know the answer already. He won’t.
Further proof that Republicans don’t care about bringing your health care costs down.

A deal that lets ACA credits expire fails the millions of families counting on us to keep their health care affordable.
Republicans have spent years trying to dismantle the ACA, and pretending Johnson will allow a vote on a clean ACA bill in the House is a fantasy.
I will be a no on this “deal.”

🚨BREAKING: The cruelty of this Administration keeps reaching new extremes. Trump’s USDA is ordering states to UNDO the work already done to feed millions of hungry families, kids, and seniors. It’s abhorrent, it’s chaotic, and it’s indefensible.

After appealing yesterday’s ruling to release *all* SNAP benefits for November, the Administration is backing down.
Remember: These funds are available. They tried to block them anyway.
They’re clearly feeling the pressure. Let's hope this sticks—and every last SNAP dollar is paid out.

While Republicans continue to subsidize fossil fuel giants and sabotage investments in renewables, China is sprinting into the future—and leaving us in the dust.

Of all the (many) wild promises Trump made, claiming he'd cut electricity prices *BY HALF* might’ve been the craziest.
According to new data, electricity costs have increased in 47 of 50 states since 2024.
Maine is one of 10 states where consumers are paying at least 10% more—or ~$200 per year.

Immigrants with work permits are vital to our economy—in health care, agriculture, education, and beyond.

Republicans’ unconscionable assault on SNAP is only making things worse. People still haven’t received their November benefits.
