Republicans are trying to rip away health coverage from 14 million Americans. I've heard from constituents who are terrified of what this bill would mean for them & their health care. We should be expanding access, not gutting it. #GOPTaxScam

The best investment we can make is in our children, but the Republican CTC leaves out 17M kids. In the @waysmeanscmte.bsky.social, I offered a proven solution to support our kids & dramatically cut childhood poverty, but Republicans rejected it while giving massive tax breaks to billionaires.

A mom from Kirkland wrote to me recently to share how she was able to raise her family because of the support of Medicaid, food assistance, & the Child Tax Credit. Republicans are trying to take these programs away from hard-working Americans. #GOPTaxScam

Republicans’ budget bill would rip coverage away from American families to pay for massive tax cuts for the wealthy. I'm fighting to protect & expand Medicaid & Affordable Care Act coverage so Americans can get the care they need.

Trump is asking drug companies to voluntarily lower their prices. Democrats, on the other hand, empowered Medicare to negotiate for lower prices. One of these things is actually delivering savings to seniors. The other is not.

Trump’s tariffs are raising costs for small businesses & limiting where they can sell abroad, forcing job cuts. A local manufacturer told me he’s worried about being “tariffed out of business.” Congressional Republicans could end this chaos whenever they want but choose not to.

A new report from the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office makes it clear that Republicans’ Medicaid cuts would take health care away from millions of Americans. There’s no more hiding from the truth. I’m fighting to prevent them from kicking families off health coverage.

Washington is already seeing the impact of Trump’s trade war with higher prices for consumers & higher costs for manufacturers to build products. This could threaten jobs in sectors across the region.

No president should be able to single-handedly weaponize the government as a way of intimidation & retribution against an organization he disagrees with. Revoking tax status without cause is clearly illegal. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Trump’s tax bill is a good deal for billionaires. But for the middle class? It’s loaded up with cuts to healthcare, SNAP and other essential programs—all to pay for tax cuts for people at the very top. Today, @magaziner.house.gov highlights how the Republican Budget Bill hurts working people.
