Donald Trump’s policies created a healthcare affordability crisis – and now his administration is encouraging Americans to borrow money from their own insurers just to afford the care they need.

Republicans continue to stick with a president who says he "loves inflation” instead of doing anything to lower costs for you.
It’s time they start explaining why.
Reposted byCongressman Don Beyer
Inflation has overtaken wages for the first time in 3 years.
That means Americans’ incomes are shrinking in real terms, largely because of the Iran war.

The public comment period is open through Monday, June 15.

The National Park Service is accepting public comments on President Trump’s proposed “Triumphal Arch.”
Curious what people thought, I started reading through the responses.
Here’s what they say:

10 years ago today, 49 lives were stolen at Pulse Nightclub — a safe haven for Orlando’s LGBTQ+ community turned into a site of unimaginable horror.
Let's honor the victims, survivors, and their loved ones by continuing to build a future free from gun violence, hate, and bigotry.

Happy Loving Day! 59 years ago, Virginia couple Mildred and Richard Loving won a landmark Supreme Court case that ended state bans on interracial marriage. Today, let’s celebrate their love, strength, and perseverance, while committing ourselves to fight against racism and discrimination.
We should modernize and strengthen America’s rail system.
I’m introducing legislation to provide the research and frameworks to move our rail systems into the next generation.

Unlike Republicans, Ways and Means Democrats see Social Security and Medicare as promises to keep – not programs to cut.
Poet Galal El-Behairy has been imprisoned since March 2018 on baseless charges related to his writing of lyrics critical of President El-Sisi.
The Egyptian government should release Galal immediately and end its systematic crackdown on free expression.

Leaving this here, in case anyone is wondering why we have screwworm in the US for the first time since the 1960s.
The DOGE stupidity from Trump and Rollins will end up COSTING taxpayers money.

NBC 4 Washington: “Virginia Democrat Rep. Don Beyer is cosponsoring a bill to block President Donald Trump's proposed Triumphal Arch that would stand 250 feet tall between Arlington National Cemetery and the Memorial Bridge.”

I’m grateful for emergency personnel's swift response to ensure the safety of everyone at the Pentagon and for the coordination among our federal and local partners.
I’m relieved no hazard was identified and appreciate the public’s cooperation while safety protocols were carried out.
The American people do not want this war.
Putting American boots on the ground would be a catastrophic mistake.
4 Republicans joined our war powers resolution, but we need a veto-proof majority to put American lives and our national interest over their fealty to a mad king.

As more AI data centers are built, Americans are concerned about their energy, water, and land use, as well as air, noise, and light pollution.
Little reliable information is public, so @markey.senate.gov and I introduced our AI Environmental Impacts Act to bring it to light.
When President Kennedy signed the Equal Pay Act into law, women were making 30% less than their male counterparts on average.
In the decades since, the Equal Pay Act has cut this gap in half, but we need to keep working until there is no pay gap at all!
Donald Trump just said “I love the inflation.”
I guess he doesn’t care if you're being squeezed by higher costs as long a he and his cronies get richer.
