Higher premiums. More uninsured Americans. Less affordable care.
This is exactly what happens when Republicans sabotage the Affordable Care Act instead of strengthening it, in order to line the pockets of billionaires.

Trump called making housing more affordable a “big yawn.” I call it one of the most important challenges facing working families.
We passed a bipartisan, bicameral housing bill. It’s time for the President to sign it.
This is not the flex he thinks it is.
Americans need serious, steady leadership, not reckless rhetoric.
A confident democracy doesn’t fear history.
It embraces the full American story – the triumphs, the failures, and the people who fought to make our Union more perfect.
A new White House report accuses current Smithsonian leadership of imposing a “radical, activist ideology” on the museums and refusing to tell “the noble, honest story of the great country we know and love.”

Reconciliation 3.0?
They just cut health care and food assistance to pay for tax breaks for the wealthy. Working families haven’t even recovered from Reconciliation 1.0 and now they want another $350 billion.
Dr. Oz math: A $1 trillion cut somehow becomes “$200 billion more.”
Americans can do the math. And they’ll be the ones paying the price when hospitals close, nursing homes struggle, and millions lose health care. The numbers don’t lie, even if this administration does.
Americans deserve lower costs and better care, not policies that leave more people uninsured.
More than 2.5 million Americans have lost Affordable Care Act coverage in the past year – including 86,000 Missourians.
Republicans promised to lower costs. Instead, they’re making it harder for families to afford the health care they need.

We can protect the Second Amendment while taking meaningful steps to keep our communities safe.
I’ve met with too many families whose lives have been forever changed by gun violence.
Rolling back commonsense gun safety protections doesn’t honor their stories, it increases the risk that more families will have to live them.

Republicans love to claim they’re the party of work.
But under their watch, more than a million Americans have left the labor force while families face higher costs and growing economic uncertainty.
It’s time to put working people – not partisan politics – back at the center of our economic agenda
Republicans promised affordability and then governed for billionaires. Americans families are paying the price every time they fill up their tank, pay their electric bill, check out at the grocery store, or navigate the healthcare system.
“A year after OBBBA, four Trump policies have raised costs on American families by $2,072 to $3,569, and a Republican-led Congress gave him the votes to do it.”

If you think Americans can’t afford life right now because they “don’t work as hard,” you’re completely out of touch with the people we were sent here to serve.
Republicans aren’t just out of touch, they’re telling working Americans their hardship is their own fault. And that’s not true – Republicans passed a bill that makes life more expensive for working families, then mock the very people struggling to make ends meet.
Imagine saying this to the nurse working a double shift.
To the warehouse worker pulling overtime.
To the teacher with a second job.
To the parent working two jobs and still struggling to afford groceries or the roof over their head.
July is Disability Pride Month, a time to celebrate the achievements, contributions, and leadership of people with disabilities. This month, we reject disability stigma and ableism and will come together in service of ensuring an accessible and inclusive society.
Wishing everyone in #MO05 a safe and happy Fourth of July. Today, we celebrate our country, our community, and the shared values that bring us together as we continue to fight for a more perfect union. 🇺🇸🎆
Workers built this economy.
They deserve a bigger piece of it.
Instead, their share of the nation's income is at its lowest level in nearly 80 years while corporations and billionaires continue to cash in.
That’s not a healthy economy, it’s a rigged one and it ain’t right.

“No forever wars” became another broken promise.
Instead of keeping America out of another prolonged conflict, Trump has left us with uncertainty abroad, higher costs at home, and no clear path forward.
