Virginia families are paying the price for Republican inaction. They can’t continue to wait longer – it’s time for Republicans to join Democrats in extending ACA subsidies that make health care more affordable.

Americans are facing an affordability crisis and struggling with higher costs because of Trump’s tariff policies, but it doesn't have to be this way.
Republicans should stand up to Trump and do something about it. No more excuses.

We’re a full month into ACA Open Enrollment.
Families are scrambling to figure out how they’ll afford to pay double, triple, and even quadruple in premiums.
But Republicans are still uninterested in joining Democrats to stop these disastrous price hikes.
Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you and your families have a peaceful and relaxing holiday.
The House wasted a crazy amount of time this week on measures to punish each other.
That isn't what the American people sent us here to do.
I'm introducing a reform with Rep. Don Bacon to fix this broken process and raise the level of sanity in the House.

Donald Trump should keep his reckless mouth shut.
The BLS jobs report released today shows the unemployment rate rose in September to its highest level since 2021.
It also shows that the U.S. economy *lost* jobs in August, after losing jobs in June.
Prior to this year, we hadn't seen a negative monthly jobs number since 2020.

The US continues to lose manufacturing jobs—payrolls are down 94k over the last year, & another 6k jobs were lost in September
Transportation (especially auto manufacturing) and electronics/electrical manufacturing are the biggest losers, but almost no subsectors are doing well

This is the highest the unemployment rate has been since October 2021, when the economy was still emerging from the COVID pandemic.
Republicans enacted the largest cut to health care access in U.S. history, stripping health care coverage from 15 million Americans to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy. And by refusing to extend ACA subsidies, they're raising health insurance costs for 24 million more.
The Trump Administration killed over 383 active clinical trials and directly harmed more than 74,000 Americans with lasting future impacts for the public at large.
Trump' s war on scientific research and public health is costing Americans lives and livelihoods.
Congress has been slow to respond to AI; in the absence of action states are taking the lead to create guardrails and protect the public.
Trump's ban would kill responsible safety reforms to give AI companies a Wild West environment, putting Americans at risk.
A terrible idea.
I signed the discharge petition to force this vote on releasing the Epstein files, which I strongly support. I woke up today with a bad bug, but would've voted yes had my vote been needed for passage. Happy to see it pass nearly unanimously, and I look forward to returning soon.

We can’t hand Saudi Arabia the keys to nuclear tech while ignoring its desire for nuclear weapons. I’m urging the Trump administration to insist on the “gold standard” safeguards—enrichment bans and full inspections—before any deal.

“Things happen.”
Jamal Khashoggi was a journalist and Washington Post columnist who was literally murdered and dismembered by agents of the Saudi government inside a Saudi consulate.
Shameful. So shameful.
No surprise Trump rolled out the red carpet for MBS.
The Saudis invested billions in Trump family businesses, so giving Saudi Arabia our most advanced fighter aircraft and maybe a NATO-esque security guarantee is the least he could to pay them back.
The corruption is endless.
Congress must reclaim its constitutional responsibility to regulate trade, and end Trump's trade wars.
Far too few Republicans in Congress are willing to stand up to Trump, or to stop his tariffs and lower Americans' costs.
Our economy will suffer until they find a backbone.
This move may alleviate some of the cost increases Trump caused, but it won't end the larger problems of rising inflation, business uncertainty, and economic damage done by Trump’s tariffs.
Only Congress can do that by putting a stop to Trump's trade wars once and for all.
Republicans just want credit for something they think the Supreme Court will force them to do anyway, after oral arguments suggested the Court will rightly rule that Trump's tariffs are illegal.
Trump is keeping most of his tariffs in place now, and even planning new ones.
After getting drubbed in elections because voters are furious that Trump broke his promises to fix inflation immediately, the White House is trying to cast this tariff retreat as a "pivot to affordability."
That's a bunch of hogwash and nonsense.
