Speaker Johnson ignored a bipartisan solution to extend the ACA tax credits and bowed to President Trump instead.
Millions of Americans will see premiums soar, forcing hardworking families to choose between insurance, groceries, or rent.
Without health insurance, people will die.

Instead of fearmongering about the LGBTQ+ community, Congress should use its power to expose those who gave cover to Jeffrey Epstein and his powerful, well-connected accomplices.
The survivors of these unspeakable horrors deserve nothing less.

Today I voted to release the Epstein files.
The victims deserve transparency and justice.

ICE is detaining pregnant immigrants in abhorrent conditions, denying critical prenatal care.
I’m demanding that ICE follow its own policies & release pregnant, postpartum, and nursing women. I’m holding ICE accountable for their cruel actions with the @DemWomenCaucus.bsky.social

Republicans took six weeks off, fully paid by taxpayers, while Americans struggled.
Now that Republicans are back in DC, it's time to get to work. Lower everyday costs, save affordable healthcare, and release the Epstein files.

We've been unpaid for 40 days fighting for affordable healthcare, but the Senate's "deal" is an insult to us and the millions who depend on us.
This crisis was created by Republicans: gutting Medicaid, enriching billionaires, and shutting down gov’t.

Genesis is just 19, raising her sister alone after their mom was detained and kidnapped by ICE.

Why are agents paid with YOUR tax dollars hiding their faces and grabbing people off the streets?

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents weren’t wearing body cameras during the deadly shooting of a Mexican immigrant last week in the suburbs because a program requiring them was scrapped by the Trump administration.

The Trump administration scrapped the agency’s body cam program soon after the president took office this year, according to a former ICE chief of staff in the Biden administration. The Chicago Police Department uses the devices.
