Take it from the doctors and patient advocates who serve our community. They are letting us know what is at risk if Congress fails to prevent the imminent skyrocketing of healthcare premiums. People’s lives are at risk. Our hospitals and nursing homes are at risk.

Federal workers are vital, from the VA and our military installations to our city and county offices helping support housing, agriculture, food safety, and more!
I am in Macon and Warner Robins today to talk about how the Big Ugly Bill gutted affordable healthcare for Georgians and the ongoing attacks on federal workers who are vital to our communities.

In the coming days, Georgians will be slammed with skyrocketing healthcare insurance premiums. Congress needs to act now to help save affordable healthcare for millions of Georgians.
Instead of working with Democrats to fix this, Congressional Republican leaders are holding the federal government hostage in a shutdown and refusing to end this ongoing healthcare crisis.
That is forcing many hospitals and nursing homes to eliminate services or close outright across the country. It means millions of families will soon lose healthcare and the ones that still have it will likely have to travel farther to get it.
Today, I was at Samaritan Clinic in Albany and at the Woodruff Park Veterans Memorial in Columbus with healthcare providers and advocates. The Big Ugly Bill that the President signed into law in July gutted Medicare, Medicaid, and ACA healthcare affordability.

... end this shutdown, prevent the healthcare costs from skyrocketing for millions of Americans in the days ahead, and support programs like IDEA so that every child has the resources to learn, graduate, and be the best they can be.
I stand with students with disabilities and their families. Speaker Johnson should stop preventing the U.S. House of Representatives from coming into session and voting so that Congress can...
After firing about half of the Department of Education’s workforce earlier this year, President Trump is laying off even more staff under the cover of the government shutdown. This makes it increasingly difficult to enforce special education and civil rights laws that serve and protect our children.
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) was passed into law 50 years ago to help ensure that every child in every ZIP code could receive a quality, affordable education that helps prepare them for life. But rising costs & cuts to federal education programs are jeopardizing that vision
I stand with Georgians against efforts to strip away their lifesaving healthcare. With healthcare premiums set to skyrocket in the days ahead because of the Big Ugly Bill, millions of Americans need Congress to act now.

(2/2) A glimmer of hope now exists that all hostages taken will be released & an end to this devastating war will be negotiated. America stands ready to help both the Israelis & Palestinians build a future together based on shared values of security, economic opportunity, freedom, & mutual respect.
(1/2) As the Jewish community gathers around the world to celebrate the holiday of Sukkot, we pause to remember the nearly 1,200 Israelis who were killed 2 years ago today when the terrorist group Hamas launched its savage attack.

Unfortunately, Albany State U & other HBCUs were once again targeted with violent threats this month. I will work with my colleagues to ensure these institutions have the resources they need to keep teachers, students, & their communities safe.
America’s teaching & research universities help drive innovation, boost local economies, & keep our country at the forefront of industry. Last week, I met with Albany State University President Dr. Scott to discuss how Congress can remain a reliable partner in its mission.
