Republicans control the House, Senate, and the White House -- their unwillingness to even meet with Democrats until the last minute is careening us toward a government shutdown. I’ll back a funding bill that protects families from rising healthcare costs and stops Trump’s harm. I

The American people are suffering, and the Republican agenda that's relentlessly raising prices, creating uncertainty, and punishing hardworking Americans is making it worse. https://t.co/PohwOA8HNW

I’ve been in Washington fighting against exactly this — skyrocketing health care costs that are simply not affordable.

Today marks SIX WEEKS since I was elected by the voters of AZ-07. For six weeks, @SpeakerJohnson has denied them their voice in Congress. That's not leadership. That's obstruction.

President Trump’s tariffs are jacking up prices, crushing families and small businesses with higher and higher costs. Learning Resources, based in Vernon Hills, is one of those businesses harmed by tariffs. Today, they took Trump to the Supreme Court.

I'm at SCOTUS with Vernon Hills-based Learning Resources, a toymaker that sued the government over Trump's damaging tariff taxes. I talked with CEO Rick Woldenberg about the case, how tariffs have impacted business & what to expect from the court. Watch: https://t.co/IdiA4XM4ik

America is too expensive. Donald Trump and Republicans haven’t done a damn thing to lower the high cost of living. And working class Americans know it.

President Trump's choice to withhold food assistance from hungry families is cruel. His administration knows it has the power to keep SNAP benefits flowing to these kids, seniors, veterans, and families in need -- but instead is letting families struggle to put food on the table.

I worry that our community donations may not meet the increased need we will see as a result of SNAP’s suspension.

ACA Open Enrollment has begun! Unfortunately, this year millions of people across the country are going to log on to update their plans and see that their health care costs are skyrocketing next year.

2 judges have ruled that the President must stop blocking emergency SNAP funds from being distributed to millions of American families. I call on the Trump Admin to immediately release these funds. No family should go hungry because the President wants to play a political game.
Two federal judges ruled Friday that the Trump administration must fund the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, the nation’s largest food aid program, for November — just one day before the food stamp program was set to expire.

FACT CHECK: FALSE Sec Kennedy claims people will pay only $13 more for their healthcare. The truth: a family of 4 making $75,000 will pay $3,368 more than last year, a 134% increase. It's telling that they have resorted to lying.
Q: Unless ACA subsidies are extended, the average plan will increase for Americans by somewhere around 115%. Do you think Congress should extend them? DR OZ: Where did you get that number? Q: The Kaiser Family Foundation DR OZ: They retracted that. Here's the truth. The
