Turning programs meant to help families into another way to harvest your data is beyond unacceptable. That's exactly what this Administration is trying to do through the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program.

Over 70% of Americans have negative feelings about the economy, nearly half say they're worse off than a year ago, and Trump's economic approval rating is 43 points underwater.
Where's the golden age?

Republicans created this health care crisis. Don't look to them to lower your costs or put health care back in reach.
Ranking Member @neal.house.gov:
Republicans say we can't afford health care, child care, or paid leave. Yet they always find the money to deliver handouts to the ultra-wealthy or spend billions of taxpayer dollars on failed wars.
They don't have to tell you you're not a priority. Their actions already have.

As your costs grow, so does Trump’s portfolio. That's not serving the American people.
Ranking Member @neal.house.gov:
Democrats are committed to the promise of Medicare and Medicare and will make sure its promise delivers for generations to come.
My full statement: democrats-waysandmeans.house.gov/media-center...
Medicare & Medicaid reflect our belief that everyone deserves dignity & security.
61 years later, Republicans are moving us in the opposite direction. After making the biggest Medicaid cuts in history, they're not satisfied & are finding new ways to hike costs and shut down more hospitals.
Tomorrow marks Medicare's 61st anniversary.
Instead of building on Democrats' successes at lowering Medicare costs, Trump is unraveling it.
The truth: more seniors are finally filling the prescriptions they need because Dems capped out-of-pocket costs.
That's exactly how Medicare should work.
Trump promised Massachusetts families lower costs.
Instead, they're paying more than $4 a gallon for gas, $70 more for electricity, and facing health care premiums that have climbed more than 50%. Trump's policies aren't working.
Laying off a third of the IRS workforce was never about cutting waste. It was sabotage.
Now phones go unanswered, problems go unsolved, and fraud goes unchecked while Trump and Republicans refuse to acknowledge the consequences, hoping you'll simply accept them.
Republicans expect you to pay over $4 a gallon for gas, cut back on groceries, and skip back to school shopping for your kids.
If they didn't, they'd use their majority to lower your costs instead of enabling Trump's failed policies.
The Republican agenda has left workers and families paying more for less.
Higher costs, fewer jobs, 8 million people and counting without health care. You deserve better.
Today, we celebrate another year of the oldest Committee in Congress. Where we spend our money shows what we value as a nation—and @waysmeanscmte.bsky.social is where those priorities take shape.
As we celebrate 237 years, its jurisdiction demands nothing less than the best for the American people.
It wouldn’t be a day in Washington without the Trump Administration trying to jack up your costs even further.
Forced labor is a real and pervasive problem and it should never be cheapened into a pretext for Trump’s unrelenting attempts to keep his tariffs.
Today, the House once again sided with the American people and rejected Trump’s reckless war with Iran.
This war is costing lives & driving up costs. Americans rightly don’t want another forever war in the Middle East & the President has shown he can’t find his way out.
It’s time to end it.
Congress must be held to the standard our constituents demand, grounded in trust, accountability, & integrity.
Republicans put a bill on the Floor that appears to be reform but settles for a half-measure that allows more abuses. They also poisoned it with voter suppression.
That's why I voted no.

Republicans are about to leave DC for a month. And they're spending their last week ignoring the number one issue on Americans' minds: rising costs.
Ranking Member @neal.house.gov:
Republicans keep finding billions of dollars in the couch cushions for Trump’s war but can’t manage to dig out a nickel to make your health care cheaper.
Their priorities are staggering.
It was a privilege to be in Blandford to announce more than $1 million in federal funding I secured for water treatment and distribution system upgrades.
Everyone should be able to trust the safety of their water system, and projects like this make us healthier.
