These Medicare drug savings are brought to Philadelphians by a 2022 law passed by a Democratic Congress and signed into law by President Biden, the Inflation Reduction Act. I was proud to vote for this law!

“Donald Trump likes to use a big number to anchor his point, especially when he wanders off on a tangent,” Marie-Rose Sheinerman reports. “Often it seems that a specific figure is on the tip of his tongue.”
There’s a 92 Percent Chance Trump Is Making It Up

In compliance with the bill the president signed into law just last month, the DOJ must release ALL the Epstein files TODAY. Not in "the next couple weeks."
This deadline wasn't a suggestion- it’s the law. These survivors and the American people are long overdue transparency and justice.

Trump calls affordability a ‘hoax.’
But thanks to HIS reckless economic agenda, this year, from toys to electronics to clothing and shoes, holiday shopping has become a lot more unaffordable for working families.

House GOP leadership is directly responsible for 24 million Americans seeing a shutdown of their health care.
ACA tax credits expire Dec. 31. And the Speaker just blocked a vote to extend these vital health care tax credits, closing the House floor for the rest of the year.

I support both Congressman Gregory Meeks and @repmcgovern.bsky.social’s resolutions to end U.S. hostilities against Venezuela!
The Constitution is clear — Congress, not the president, has the authority to declare war. It’s past time we put an end to Trump’s ill-conceived, illegal actions.

Why won’t the GOP use the same logic to extend expiring tax cuts that help make health care affordable for millions of working Americans?

24 MILLION Americans are seeing their health insurance premiums skyrocket as the ACA tax credits expire.
Yet House GOP leaders have decided not to let the House even vote on ending this crisis, and so far ZERO House Republicans are using their leverage to force a vote.

The deaths of Rob and Michele Reiner are a horrific tragedy. And rather than simply offering condolences, Trump trashed a murder victim and seemed to blame him.

There are 4 legislative days left this year, and the GOP’s new health care “plan” does nothing to address the expiring tax credits that make health care affordable for 24 million Americans.
We just need 4 House Republicans to use their leverage & join us to force a vote on renewing these credits.
