Republicans control the White House, Senate, and House of Representatives. If premiums skyrocket for millions of Americans because they fail to extend Affordable Care Act tax credits, they all will share in the blame.
GOP blame game: House Republicans are divided heading into a big health care vote this week.
The president said that he would lower costs on “Day One” Instead, the chaotic Trump Tariffs have cost American families an average of $1,200 so far this year. That’s why I’m fighting to reverse these reckless policies and lower costs for hardworking Americans.
On Bill of Rights Day, we celebrate the first ten amendments to the Constitution, which guarantee many of our rights as Americans. Now more than ever, we must uphold our shared values and work together to protect the rights and freedoms that define our democracy.
My heart breaks for the victims and those traumatized by the horrific mass shooting at Bondi Beach. As we grieve with those devastated by the latest act of antisemitism and gun violence, let us also stand with our Jewish brothers and sisters by continuing to condemn hate in all forms.
Australia’s deadliest mass shooting in almost 30 years has sparked an outpouring of grief, anger and solidarity from the country’s roughly 120,000 Jews, which include the highest per capita population of Holocaust survivors outside of Israel. https://wapo.st/48DyZfp
I will continue working with my Financial Services Committee colleagues and my partners across the aisle until we provide the relief that working-class families deserve. Because every American deserves a real chance at the American Dream.
From revamping the HOME program to revitalizing our federal rural housing programs, the legislation includes sweeping reforms and multiple bipartisan bills I have championed as the Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Housing & Insurance.
This bipartisan, comprehensive housing package will streamline housing development and affordability by updating outdated programs, removing regulatory roadblocks, and increasing local control. It’s time that Congress took action to lower housing costs for American families.
“The tax guidance is the latest win for large corporations and would provide additional tax benefits to companies” Meanwhile, the administration is allowing ACA tax credits to expire, ensuring health care costs skyrocket for working-class families. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
Our legislation would require a detailed study to grow our understanding of artificial intelligence (AI), its impact on the economy and workforce, and determine the skills necessary for workers to succeed.
It is essential that we take steps today to prepare our nation and our workforce for the economic consequences that are rapidly approaching with the growing adoption of AI. That’s why I’ve introduced the Workforce of the Future Act with @replamonica.bsky.social. cleaver.house.gov/media-center...
Senator Durbin is absolutely right: the power to declare war lies with Congress. The American people want the administration to focus on lowering costs for hardworking families—not instigating another regime change war to secure more oil reserves for Big Oil.
Durbin: "Any president before he engages in act of war has to have the authorization of the American people through Congress ... this president is preparing for an invasion of Venezuela. Simply said. And if the American people are in favor of that, I'd be surprised."
It is deeply disappointing that Congressional Republicans continue to block an extension of Affordable Care Act tax credits that help working-class families afford health care. Tens of millions of Americans, including 48,000 Missourians in #MO05, will see their premiums sky rocket because of it.
BREAKING: The Senate rejected legislation to extend Affordable Care Act tax credits, as costs are set to rise for millions of Americans in 2026.
The president’s extreme and inhumane mass deportation agenda undermines the civil liberties of American citizens and endangers beloved members of our community. We all must continue to stand up, speak out, and demand accountability for these abuses of power.
MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”
After securing $15 million in federal funding to support the redevelopment of Parade Park, I’m thrilled that the Missouri Housing Development Commission has approved a package of federal and state support, demonstrating significant backing for affordable housing. www.kctv5.com/2025/12/10/s...
