December is here, and we have only 9 legislative days scheduled before ACA enhanced premium tax credits expire at the end of the month.

Here are some highlights from the week.

As our veterans transition from active duty to civilian life, they deserve educational resources that meet their unique needs.

Today, I presented my bill to modernize the VA Work Study Program to the Veterans Affairs Committee to help do just that.

All communities regardless of zip code deserve reliable broadband today and in the future.

As the Trump Administration prioritizes low-cost tech, I joined @energycommerce.bsky.social Democrats to ensure broadband projects don’t leave communities with service that fails to meet their needs.

Republicans claim clean and renewable energy can’t meet the growing energy demands of data centers. That’s simply false.

During today’s Energy subcommittee hearing, I pushed back on these false claims.

I led my @cbc.house.gov colleagues to sound the alarm for millions of Americans covered by the ACA marketplace who stand to lose their health insurance because Republicans refuse to extend enhanced premium tax credits.

Today is #RuralHealthDay, a chance to reaffirm our commitment to filling health care gaps in rural communities.

Yet the Trump Administration and Congressional Republicans have only made it harder for rural patients to access care and rural providers to keep their doors open.

Preterm birth is dangerous — and preventable.

As premiums skyrocket for millions without the ACA enhanced premium tax credits, I joined @protectourcare.org VA and other preemie moms to share our stories and highlight the importance of affordable health insurance to a healthy, full term birth.

Every year, I choose to recognize one veteran in Virginia’s Fourth District who embodies honor, dedication and service to our community.

This year, join me in recognizing Col. William Butler as the VA-04 Veteran of the Year.

Republicans have all the wrong priorities as they make tax credits for millionaires permanent while stripping credits that lower families’ energy costs.

I joined @energycommerce.bsky.social Democrats to call out this disconnect as Republicans advanced bills that don’t address energy affordability.

Today, Republicans advanced reform bills in subcommittee that fail to address barriers to broadband deployment, but impose strict deadlines on overburdened local permitting officials.

I joined @energycommerce.bsky.social Democrats to introduce an amendment to help them comply with these deadlines.

Lester Johnson is a husband, father, Richmond business owner — and one of millions who would struggle to keep his health insurance without enhanced premium tax credits under the ACA.

I shared Lester’s story as I anchored a @cbc.house.gov Special Order Hour on the cost of expiring ACA tax credits.

My daughter Samantha was born nine weeks early. We both almost died. Preterm birth is preventable, but the US has a 10.4% preterm birth rate. We can do better!

This #PrematurityAwarenessDay, I’m fighting to improve birth outcomes for all Americans.l

The longest government shutdown in U.S. history has ended, but Republicans still haven’t taken action to address the looming health care crisis.
