This is the disastrous impact of the Republican health care crisis.

Because of Trump and congressional Republicans’ inaction, insurance premiums are skyrocketing and tens of thousands of Pennsylvanians are being forced to go without health insurance.
85,000 Pennie customers dropped health plans as tax credits shrank and costs spiked
The number of people dropping coverage is expected to increase in the next few months, Pennie warned.

Right now, thanks to GOP policies, millions of Americans are struggling to afford the rising cost of their health care.

Trump’s latest response- a smoke and mirrors website that does nothing to lower health care costs for most working families.

Yesterday was National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day. Let us recommit to ending the disparities in HIV and AIDS prevention, education, and treatment facing Black communities across the country.

We can only end this epidemic when we ensure EVERYONE has access to prevention and treatment care.

Donald Trump said he would lower prices on “day one.”

But more than a year into his second term, new data shows his reckless economic policies and tariff-taxes have cost Philly families $2,020 — that’s over $168 a month!

House Democrats led a successful effort to extend the ACA tax credits.

All we need is a few Senate Republicans to join us to pass this bill.

Hear from @waysmeanscmte.bsky.social Democrats about what the GOP health care crisis means for families.

Donald Trump is a bigoted, small-minded man who has long spewed racist remarks and tried to whitewash our nation’s history. Today he finds a new low.

His recent post is vile, disgusting, and abhorrently racist. Every elected official should speak up and condemn this hate.

Is this Trump’s A +++++ economy he keeps talking about?

Simply put - Donald Trump is not connected to reality.

Working people in Philly and beyond are enduring higher costs because of Trump’s tariff-taxes and his letting health-care tax credits for 22 million Americans expire. But his billionaire buddies continue to get by just fine!

The effects of Trump’s #ReverseRobinHood budget are ALREADY rippling through our community.

Starting this month, thousands of families in Philly are beginning to lose their critical SNAP food assistance - while the rich are enjoying huge tax breaks from the same law.

The Trump administration's "Big, Beautiful, Bill" changed the rules surrounding SNAP eligibility and will result in fewer people across the state receiving food aid

It’s been over three weeks since House Democrats forced a winning bipartisan vote to restore ACA tax credits and lower health care costs for 500,000 Pennsylvanians.

But thanks to Senate Republicans’ inaction on these credits, health-insurance bills are skyrocketing for millions of Americans.

It is clear DHS must undergo real change and reforms. After over a year of empty promises, I believe we cannot trust promises of reform from this administration.

I first need to see much-needed guardrails and protections being put into law- and therefore will be voting no on this funding package.

I stand with the vast majority of Philadelphians against the hate that was on display at a disgusting, antisemitic pro-Hamas rally yesterday at Rittenhouse Square.

I stand with both our Jewish and Muslim neighbors for peace and against violence.

Black History is American history. Period.

No matter this administration’s continued attempts to whitewash and erase our nation’s history- this month and every month, let us honor our history through our advocacy and actions.

Rather than working to make your life more affordable, President Trump is suing the IRS for $10 BILLION of your taxpayer dollars. That’s enough for a $6,353 check for every Philadelphian, including every child!

I and my Democratic colleagues will keep fighting his backwards, corrupt priorities!

Like I said today in a press conference with @congressmanboyle.bsky.social: DHS funding should NOT pass the Senate in its current form.

Americans deserve real accountability, oversight, and reforms for this department’s lawlessness under Trump! (1/2)

Working Philadelphians have seen their costs going up as Trump spent his first year back in office imposing tariff-taxes on food, clothing and more.

But he has made sure to take care of his billionaire buddies!
This week marks the beginning of tax filing season.

Don’t forget who Republicans prioritized in their tax bill.

Yesterday’s attack on Rep. Omar and last week’s attack on Rep. Frost are completely reprehensible. Let’s be clear- Donald Trump’s and his allies' dangerous rhetoric has real consequences.

I’m relieved my colleagues are safe. Political violence must have no place in America- period.

Budgets are a statement of priorities and values.

In his Big Ugly Budget, Donald Trump slashed funding from Medicaid and SNAP food aid. That same law created a $75 BILLION slush fund for an agency operating without guardrails and terrorizing our communities.

As ICE and CBP continue acting lawlessly, placing lives at risk — we need real accountability and reform.

Donald Trump must fire Kristi Noem immediately.

Or Democrats will initiate impeachment proceedings against her in the House.

We can do this the easy way or the hard way.
