Cancer is not a Democratic or Republican concern—it touches all Americans from every background. Tragically, President Trump and Congressional Republicans are undermining cancer research for all to fund more tax breaks for their billionaire donors.

As President Trump’s tariff taxes continue to raise costs on everyday goods, local food banks are already struggling to keep food on the shelves. It won’t help that Congressional Republicans are trying to cut $300 billion from America’s food assistance programs to pay for more.

My heart breaks over the passing of @GerryConnolly—a close friend and a champion for hardworking families across Virginia. My heartfelt condolences go out to the entire Connolly family as they grieve the loss of Gerry. May he rest in peace and may his memory be a blessing.

Enabled by President Trump and Congressional Republicans, the richest man in the world is gutting the Social Security Administration and undermining essential services that seniors rely on to obtain their earned benefits. This isn’t about waste or fraud—it’s about funding cuts.
Many of the major changes the U.S. DOGE Service pushed at Social Security have been abandoned or are being reversed after proving ineffective, while others are yielding unintended consequences and badly damaging customer service and satisfaction.

Thankful to @Rep_Magaziner for his leadership in the fight to ban congressional stock trading. As an original cosponsor of his TRUST in Congress Act, we’ll keep working to ensure lawmakers are focused on the well-being of the American people—not their personal stock portfolios!.
Baseball players can’t bet on games because there’s too much opportunity to cheat. So why are Members of Congress allowed to trade stocks? . I’m glad to have @repcleaver on our team to ban stock trading in Congress once and for all.

More than 90,000 Missourians could lose their healthcare if the Republican budget betrayal is passed into law—all so billionaires can get another massive handout. @HouseDemocrats will continue fighting to protect the healthcare of working class families.

This despicable politicization of the law is yet another page out of the authoritarian playbook. President Trump and MAGA Republicans think they can intimidate lawmakers from upholding their lawful oversight duties by filing baseless charges. It won’t work. I stand with.
BREAKING: U.S. Justice Dept. says charges have been filed against a New Jersey congresswoman, alleging she assaulted law enforcement at a Newark ICE detention center.

For the first time in history, Moody’s has stripped the United States of it’s top-of-the-line credit rating due to our rising debt. So why are Republicans moving forward with legislation that would add $5 TRILLION to our national debt, while ripping healthcare away from nearly.

Shirley Chisholm was a champion for working class families in every community across the nation. I’m thankful to @NatUrbanLeague and @MARCMORIAL for awarding me their 2025 Shirley Chisholm Award for Housing. Together, we’ll keep fighting to ensure every American has a safe,

In the dark of night, Republicans took another step in their effort to rip healthcare away from nearly 14 million Americans, take food off the table of millions more, and shower billionaires with more tax cuts using the savings. @HouseDemocrats won’t stop fighting to.
The House Budget Committee advanced President Trump’s multitrillion-dollar domestic policy package Sunday night, two days after a group of conservatives voted to reject it.

Today, I’m praying for President Joe Biden, Dr. Biden, and the entire Biden family as President Biden begins his fight against cancer. I join the American people in wishing the former president a swift and full recovery. Get well soon, Mr. President!.

The GOP's "One Big Beautiful Bill" is a disaster in the making. Slashing Medicaid, cutting food aid, and repealing clean energy credits-all to fund tax breaks for the wealthy. This isn't budgeting; it's cruelty disguised as policy. While Republicans scramble, every House.
BREAKING: The House Budget Committee votes to reject a massive bill for President Trump's agenda, dealing a major setback to GOP leaders.
