While Trump meddles in foreign countries and calls affordability “a hoax”, Americans are begging for this administration to lower the cost of living here at home. Unlike Trump, Democrats are focused on the kitchen table issues that people think about every day.

Despite being in the minority, Democrats have continued to deliver results for working families. Last week, House Democrats passed a bill to extend the ACA tax credits to ensure that every American can afford health care. Now, it's up to the Senate to get it to the finish line.

Donald Trump is about one thing: Donald Trump. He doesn’t care about lowering costs or protecting Americans' health care.

House Democrats’ bill to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits has PASSED! Health care costs have skyrocketed for millions of families and this legislation will help bring costs down. This is a win for the American people.

HUGE REBUKE: 17 House Republicans joined Leader Jeffries & all Democrats to pass a bill that extends the expired healthcare tax credits to three years. Quite a stunning rebuke of Speaker Johnson & an indication that the midterms are front of mind:

Prospects for passage in the Senate are unclear. The enhanced ACA subsidies expired at the end of 2025, driving costs up for millions.

Fifteen years ago, former Rep. Gabby Giffords survived a mass shooting in Arizona, which took the lives of six Americans, including Gabe Zimmerman, a dedicated public servant. House Democrats stand with Gabby and remain committed to ending gun violence in the United States.

For more than four decades, @RepStenyHoyer has been a fearless leader for our country and the people of Maryland’s 5th Congressional District. Steny, thank you for your service and dedication to this nation. You will be missed in the halls of Congress.

The American people have been clear for more than a year: they need us to lower costs, and they need us to do it now. But instead, Donald Trump has been breaking his promises to the hardworking Americans who put him in office.

We are grateful to @RepStenyHoyer for nearly 45 years of service in Congress. His years of leadership and mentorship have changed our country for the better. He will be greatly missed in the House Democratic Caucus and we wish him all the best in this next chapter.

Today, the House will vote on Democrats’ bill to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits. This legislation is critical to ensuring millions of Americans can afford their health care premiums. We won’t stop fighting to protect this lifeline for families.

What happened in Minneapolis is a tragedy and the Trump administration's efforts to cover up the killing of Renee Good are shameful. Americans can see the video with their own eyes and know Trump's actions are making our communities less safe. I'm praying for Renee's family.

Trump's first act as president was to pardon 1,500 criminals who were a part of the insurrection on January 6, 2021. It was the wrong decision then, and it’s making our country less safe today.

On the fifth anniversary of the January 6th insurrection, @HouseDemocrats are holding a hearing with testimony from former law enforcement, state officials and Americans who witnessed the attack. Tune in live now:

Five years ago today, a violent mob brutally attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6. Their mission was to overturn a free and fair election. We will never allow extremists to whitewash their treachery.

Democrats have a plan to protect health care. Republicans never have.

Mike Johnson has adjourned the House for 2025 — without a vote to extend ACA tax credits. While millions of Americans are losing health care, Republicans are going on another vacation. Democrats will keep fighting because you deserve better.

The Trump economy is changing people's lives for the WORSE. Families are struggling to afford groceries. Health care premiums are about to skyrocket. And unemployment is at its highest since 2021. Trump's economy = failing economy. https://t.co/igd5T45Ow9

House Democrats' bill to extend the ACA tax credits is the only real plan to ensure that Americans' premiums don't skyrocket by the end of the year.

Per @betsy_klein, members of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts board of trustees voted Thursday to rename the facility to the “Trump Kennedy Center.”

It is time for Republicans to do the right thing and put the health care of the American people first. Speaker Johnson, bring House Democrats’ discharge petition to extend the ACA tax credits to the floor NOW.
