This Veterans Day, and every day, we honor our veterans for their service and sacrifice.
I’ll continue to fight to ensure our veterans and their families get the support they need. That starts with ensuring they get the best healthcare and benefits they deserve.

We’re 36 days into the longest shutdown in American history.
All it would take to end this shutdown is for Republicans to agree to extend ACA tax credits, something that would directly help millions of Americans.
It’s way past time to get to the negotiating table and end this.

No billionaire will ever see their credit score drop because of medical debt but millions of working people will.
This administration would rather give tax cuts to billionaires and side with credit bureaus and corporate interests, while people are penalized for getting sick.

Breaking: Trump just banned states from being able to wipe medical debt from Americans’ credit reports.
The Biden-Harris administration had moved to wipe medical debt from credit reports. Now this new rule will keep $220 billion in medical bills on Americans’ records.

Defunding food banks is a new level of cruel.
The Trump admin cut $500 million in food bank deliveries. These are the very food banks families are being forced to rely on with SNAP funding running out on Nov 1.
96 million pounds of food wasted is heartless.

But we're holding strong - we will not allow millions of Americans to lose access to the healthcare they need.
