More than 20 million Americans are staring down the barrel of skyrocketing healthcare costs in the new year.
Instead of holding a vote to extend the ACA tax credits and stop this crisis in its tracks, Speaker Johnson chose to shut Congress down early and go home.
How cruel is that?

If Congress’ goal is truly to protect kids online, the best way to do so is through a federal data-privacy standard that prioritizes their safety today and can adapt to the technologies of tomorrow.

On Trump’s orders, DHS has condemned countless of our migrant neighbors to horrific detention centers where they've suffered abuse, faced vile conditions, and even lost their lives.
I joined @jayapal.house.gov's shadow hearing yesterday, because these atrocities cannot remain hidden in the dark.

No matter how many masked thugs Donald Trump sics on our immigrant neighbors or how desperately he tries to dehumanize their families, New York City and communities like it are going to stay sanctuaries to the oppressed and the powerless.

Our committee has had at least 5 hearings over 5 years on the many threats to kids online.
How long do we have to keep restating the obvious?
It’s past time to stop talking and start acting.

THE Dr. Una S.T. Clarke is many things to many people: a trailblazer, a bold visionary, a true servant of the people – the list goes on. She’s all that to me, as well. But most importantly, she’s also my mom. Please join me in wishing her a very happy 91st birthday!
I love you, mom! Happy birthday!

Had she yielded then, many of us would not be here now – and that is why I am so very proud to co-sponsor Rep. @sewell.house.gov’s legislation to permanently establish this day as Rosa Parks Day.
Because hers is a name that deserves to be celebrated.

For more than 104 years, Viola Fletcher lived without ever receiving justice for the crimes committed against her and her community during the Tulsa Race Massacre.
May the shame of that failure forever stain our nation.
And may Mrs. Fletcher rest in eternal power and paradise.

Starting today, 40 American airports are reducing their traffic due to the Republican Shutdown.
That means longer lines, delays, and cancellations across the country, including at JFK, LaGuardia, Newark, and other airports that countless New Yorkers travel through every single day.

Superstorm Sandy was an unimaginable nightmare when it first struck the northeast 13 years ago.
But today, extreme weather events have only grown more devastating, more frequent, and tragically, more normal.
It doesn’t have to be that way.

Duty and decency brought @replamonica.bsky.social to the Delaney Hall ICE detention facility.
I was proud to give her my support at her hearing this week, and she will continue to have it until and beyond she is acquitted of these ridiculous charges against her.

While Trump gets a Cadillac Plan on the taxpayers’ dime, the millions of Americans who will lose their care because his party refuses to extend the ACA enhanced premium tax credits are not so fortunate.
It's a tragedy that he'll never be capable of understanding that.
