This is long overdue. However, this doesn't change the fact that DHS needs serious reforms, & impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens need to be conducted. We must defend the rule of law & the basic civil liberties that define our democracy. abcnews.com/Politics/tru...
After cutting Medicaid and Medicare and refusing to extend the ACA enhanced credits, President Trump is now proposing changes that would increase your deductibles. If they can cut taxes for the wealthiest Americans, they can make health care more affordable.
For most people with ACA coverage, this deductible eats more than HALF of their income. This is the wealthiest nation on Earth. Why are Republicans asking people to fork over more than half of their income for basic care?
My Democratic colleagues on the @waysmeanscmte.bsky.social sat through a 17-hour markup of Trump's One Big Ugly Law. Believe us when we say it was 17 hours of talking about tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans, not the middle class.
What does the "golden age of America" look like under Trump? Grocery prices are up, & SNAP benefits are cut to finance a tax cut for billionaires. Health care costs are up, & Medicare & Medicaid are cut to finance a tax cut for billionaires. It's golden for billionaires, not for working families.
President Trump is using his State of the Union address to try to sell the American people on the idea that we’re in a "golden age." But I’ll be right here in my office, putting in the work to deliver real results for the American people.
Republican billionaire handouts are putting lives at risk. Their wealthy giveaways slashed 12 years off of Medicare benefits, impacting our nation’s seniors most. Democrats are doing everything we can not only to reverse course, but chart a better path. fortune.com/2026/02/23/h...
Just hours after the Supreme Court rejected unlawful tariffs that hit working families with higher prices, Trump unveiled a new 10% tariff. He will stop at nothing to raise costs on the American people.
BREAKING: President Donald Trump said Friday he will sign an executive order imposing a new 10% “global tariff,” hours after the Supreme Court struck down his sweeping “reciprocal” import duties in a major rebuke of his trade agenda.
Today’s decision is a victory for the American people, the rule of law, and our standing in the global economy. Congress writes trade law, and today’s ruling restores that fundamental truth. Democrats fought hard for this win for the American people, but our work to lower costs doesn’t stop here.
🔴 BREAKING: The highest court in the land has affirmed what we have long argued: Trump never had the authority to unilaterally jack up costs by hundreds of dollars on the American people. Democrats will never stop fighting for the rule of law and to lower costs for workers and families.
This is why Dems have been making the case that Trump’s tariffs are illegal. Our economic policies should be rooted in credible data and facts, not the ego of one man who refuses to admit his policies are failing the American people.
ICYMI: I joined the Spencer community to celebrate a $960,000 earmark I secured for their sewer collection systems project. This investment will ensure families, businesses, and residents in Spencer continue to have access to safe, reliable water. Read more⤵️ neal.house.gov/2026/01/27/n...
For months, Democrats warned about Republican cuts to Medicaid and Medicare. Now we’re seeing the consequences. Like hospitals across MA-01, Baystate depends on this funding to care for seniors, working families, & vulnerable residents. Without it, jobs will be lost, & health care costs will rise.
Wishing a blessed Ash Wednesday to all who observe. As Christians around the world mark the beginning of Lent, may this season be one of reflection and renewal.
Happy Lunar New Year, MA‑01! Wishing everyone happiness, good health, and prosperity in the year ahead. As we welcome the new year, we honor the significant contributions of Asian communities throughout the country and the rich traditions that strengthen our nation.
Rev. Jesse Jackson dedicated his life to fighting for a better America. From the Civil Rights Movement to the Affordable Care Act, he championed justice and equality, paving the way for generations of leaders who carry that work forward. My thoughts and prayers are with the Jackson family.
BREAKING: Rev. Jesse Jackson, civil rights icon and two-time presidential candidate, dies at 84.
