If Republicans allow the Affordable Care Act premium tax credits to expire, nearly all marketplace enrollees will face significantly higher premium costs.
On average, premiums will more than double.

By refusing to extend ACA premium tax credits, Republicans will cause health care costs to skyrocket for 24 million Americans across the country.
Democrats won't stop fighting to prevent working families' costs from rising.

In response to yet another GOP shutdown, @bobbyscott.house.gov & @repbonamici.bsky.social are introducing a bill to protect WIC benefits from partisan gridlock.
The WIC Benefits Protection Act will guarantee mandatory funding so pregnant women & infants don’t lose access to healthy food and care.

If Republicans allow ACA tax credits to expire, it would be the largest single-year price hike in history.
In fact, there is no historical precedent for such a significant increase in out-of-pocket premiums for health insurance that covers tens of millions of Americans.

Before the shutdown, @bobbyscott.house.gov urged USDA to minimize any impacts to WIC.
Since then, USDA has released additional funding and provided states with guidance on how to prevent interruptions.
This shutdown should not impact WIC benefits for pregnant women and infants.

The Trump Administration is threatening to unnecessarily cut WIC benefits — taking away food and resources from pregnant women and infants — while making sure construction continues on their $200 million ballroom during the government shutdown.

Once again, the Trump Administration is threatening to hurt the well-being of pregnant women and children if they don’t get their way.
Russ Vought is wrong. The Trump Administration *can* support states to keep the WIC program running during a government shutdown.

Trump just "mafia-style" threatened to cut programs like WIC.
Roughly 500,000 pregnant women and 40 percent of babies in the US depend on WIC for access to healthy food.
Republicans would rather take food away from women and children than reduce the cost of your health care

This would require coaches to report to Title IX coordinators anytime they have reason to believe a student is being abused, which could have prevented the abuse of many athletes at Ohio State University.

Heat remains the leading weather-related killer, yet there is still no federally enforceable heat standard.
Today, a group of bipartisan, bicameral lawmakers reintroduced the Asunción Valdivia Heat Illness, Injury, and Fatality Prevention Act to protect workers from heat.

The high cost of child care is a burden on families and the economy.
Under @bobbyscott.house.gov and @murray.senate.gov Child Care for Working Families Act, the typical family will pay no more than $15 a day for child care.

Since returning to office, President Trump has routinely prioritized the wealthy over the needs of working people. And the results are clear.
During President Biden’s first five months in office, the economy created 2.9 million jobs. Comparitively, Trump has created 671,000.

Raising a child was already expensive. Now, thanks to Trump's tariffs, new parents are paying 24% more on baby products.
Families need relief. Committee Democrats are committed making child care and health care more affordable.
