An #Oregon couple saw their health insurance jump from $443 to $2,224/month—a 500% spike for the same plan. They flew to DC to tell Senators what that means for real families.
We must keep #ACA tax credits in place while they fix this. Families shouldn’t be one letter away from losing coverage.

NEW: You've heard SCOTUS could soon upend the balance in power in Congress by gutting the VRA. But that'd also be a huge blow to Black voting power in *local* governments.
In west Tennessee, Black residents just won a new county map this year—but those gains now look very fragile.
