Lower healthcare costs. Re-open the government. Do what's best for the country.

Let’s speed it up—high speed rail! 🚅
🚆 I rode the train from Pittsburgh to DC last month. It's a slow journey, but honestly not noticeably long. With plenty of room to stretch out, tons of food, and a movie or two downloaded, it was very pleasant. It's also very cheap. My tips below ⬇️

At yesterday's @TransportDems meeting, I heard from @NATCA about how this government shutdown is pounding federal workers who keep our airspace safe—and how a sustained shutdown could hurt the training pipeline for new controllers.

I'm here in the Capitol, working and ready to hash out a deal to re-open the government and stop healthcare costs from getting even higher. But House Republicans are nowhere to be seen—they're not even pretending to want to negotiate with Democrats for the good of the country.

I put out a survey asking folks a basic question: Should Speaker Johnson bring back the U.S. House of Representatives so we can vote to reopen the government? Over 1,300 people responded, and the results are overwhelming: 93.5% say YES. The poll is still open if you'd like to

The Republican government shutdown is hurting folks in Western PA and across the country. I'm down in Washington ready to get to work to re-open the government and stop healthcare costs from skyrocketing—and I'm holding a Telephone Town Hall to talk with you about it. Sign up

Indigenous Peoples’ Day is a time to celebrate those who first called this land home. America’s unions recognize the struggles and tragedies they have endured, and we honor the many indigenous communities and cultures that have contributed to the story of our labor movement.

Happy 250th birthday to the men and women of the @USNavy! Going to the @NavalAcademy and serving in our Navy was one of the best decisions I ever made—proud to be a part of two and a half centuries of honor, courage, and commitment.

Our country has real problems that people are mad about. Let’s take on the corruption and more that make life so much worse and expensive for hardworking Americans.

Urban Institute predicts that 267,000 fellow veterans will lose health coverage if the ACA healthcare tax credits expire. Those are the stakes in this fight.

It's Banned Book Week. I'll always stand up for freedom—and that means fighting back against boneheaded efforts to ban books, like at my alma mater the U.S. Naval Academy earlier this year.
If we're gonna trust adult Midshipmen at the US Naval Academy to lead Marines & Sailors in harm's way, we can trust them to read books. It's indefensible to ban books from the library there—my alma mater—especially when you're hiding writing by Maya Angelou, but not Adolf Hitler.

Federal workers like Air Traffic Controllers, TSA agents, and more will get a smaller paycheck because Congressional Republicans refuse to do anything to lower healthcare costs and re-open the government.

This one is simple. Our troops put their lives on the line for our great country. They shouldn't lose their paychecks just because Republican politicians in Washington chose to shut down the government. I'm joining lots of my colleagues in calling on Speaker Johnson to bring a

Healthcare costs are already too high and it's about to get way worse. Congressional Republicans should join with Democrats and work to do something about it.

Another reason Republican politicians need to re-open the government: we should get the folks shining light on corruption back to work.
The Office of Government Ethics says it can't fulfill requests for ethics documents due to the shutdown. That means that some executive branch officials' documents — their annual disclosures, their stock trades, ethics agreements — won't be made available for public scrutiny.

This new report from Pitt shows yet another reason why we can't trust the railroads to regulate themselves ⬇️ We need to pass rail safety legislation to make freight rail safer. https://t.co/HUqft5ko6u
