Higher health care cost increases for next year are already arriving in mailboxes. DC Republicans sure seem to want you to pay hundreds of dollars more per month and get nothing new in return. Dems have a plan to prevent unfair price hikes.

Politicians shouldn’t run taxpayer funded partisan ads. There’s even a law that bans it. Too bad Kristi Noem & DHS don’t want to follow it, so @SenBlumenthal & I are calling it out:

They want to know if it violated the Hatch Act and how it was paid for.

It doesn’t matter if you’re in a blue or a red state; health care premiums are set to skyrocket. Democrats are fighting to lower those costs, no matter where you live or who you voted for. Meanwhile, Republicans seem to only care about securing tax breaks for the top 1%.

When people can’t afford desperately needed health care, they suffer. That’s why this fight is so serious. It’s a matter of life and death.

There are a lot of falsehoods circulating around who benefits from ACA enhanced premium tax credits. So let’s clear it up in simple terms: two truths and a lie ⬇️

NEW: The Trump administration recently cut funding to Rhode Island for special education teacher training, part of the ongoing effort to root out DEI "The word ‘diversity’ has been weaponized in such a way that it’s become a political grenade." https://t.co/KGwOiDJ2t9

The federal grant was helping educators who are teaching students with disabilities to read.

Trump is using the shutdown as an excuse to fire Americans who help students with disabilities around the country. He must reverse course and ensure no student is denied a quality education because of a disability.

Pres. Trump wants to keep Argentina’s government open with a $20+ BILLION bailout but refuses to make any effort to protect your health care & get the American government working again.

Democrats are the only ones to offer a concrete plan to reopen the gov't & keep health care prices down. Trump-GOP cut $1 trillion from Medicaid & now millions of Americans will see their health costs skyrocket or lose coverage. Open enrollment is days away. Time to act is

The Pentagon press corps plays a vital role in holding military leaders accountable. Hegseth’s effort to censor reporters is an affront to the military’s tradition of integrity and to the First Amendment.
Pete Hegseth has set a 5PM deadline for media organizations to agree to unprecedented new restrictions on their coverage. Dozen of prominent outlets — including conservative ones — have said they'll refuse to sign: WaPo, NYT, Newsmax, The Atlantic, WSJ, NPR, the Guardian, The

Joined @RepGabeAmo to chat w/ local #smallbiz owners this morning & it’s clear: Democrats are fighting to lower health costs for every single American. With just 18 days until open enrollment begins, there’s no time to waste.

A sure sign GOP knows it’s losing public support & on the wrong side: They will no longer allow a vote on lowering your health care costs. Meanwhile, people’s health insurance premiums are skyrocketing. Congress must act!

Instead of lowering prices for Americans, Donald Trump pledged $20 billion of your tax dollars to this guy. https://t.co/rnh2kUVKoR

Time is of the essence. Open enrollment is less than a month away & millions of Americans could soon see their health care premiums double. Democrats have a plan to keep the gov’t open & protect your health care.

Coffee should come with cream and sugar, not expensive tariffs! Trump’s economic policies are driving up prices – roasting consumers & businesses alike & harming the U.S. economy.
Fox: Roasted coffee prices are up 22% in the past year. There's a 50% tariff on coffee from Brazil. That's the nation's biggest coffee supplier. Take a look at this bag right here. The container that bag came in is costing this coffee shop $68,000 more than it did over the

President Trump’s big beautiful bill has resulted in a health care crisis that is now upon us. Next year, everyone is either at risk of losing their health care or paying more. So, we did a little math to estimate what that might look like for a couple in Lansing. Their health

As Trump-GOP shuts down the federal gov’t & tries to ignore health crisis they created, open enrollment starts Nov. 1. Millions of Americans will soon have their premiums skyrocket – many will see it double. Congress must act w/ urgency, but GOP is playing partisan games.
