It was great to be in Charlemont to announce federal funding for a new pumper fire truck that enhances public safety for local residents. Investing in rural communities is the work Congress should be doing. I’m proud to secure funds that support those who serve our communities & keep them safe.

Berkshire Flyer Summer Sale

Trade city crowds, traffic-lined streets and the work week for a weekend getaway in the Berkshires.

Since retaking office, Trump has added billions to his net worth while you're stuck paying higher bills. Republicans are letting the president profit from power while you struggle to refill your prescriptions and put food on the table. This should never have happened.

Rep. Richard Neal@neal.house.govJul 8(source)

Mr. "art of the deal" strikes again. Reminder that this war continues to cost the American people billions of dollars – not him.

Oil prices spiked on Wednesday to the highest level in weeks and stocks dropped after President Trump said he thought the cease-fire with Iran was “over.”

Wishing everyone a safe and happy Independence Day! Today, we mark 250 years of American progress and celebrate our shared commitment to freedom, opportunity, and equality for all.

The Big Ugly Bill has made life MORE expensive for American families. That's the legacy of the Trump-Republican majority.

Ways and Means Committee Democrats@waysmeanscmte.bsky.socialJul 3(source)

It’s been one year since Republicans pushed their One Big Beautiful Bill through Congress. One year on, Democrats still believe that families shouldn’t have to sacrifice their health care for billionaire tax breaks. Ranking Member @neal.house.gov:

Neal Statement Ahead of Another Cancelled Celebration of the Big Ugly Law

SPRINGFIELD, MA— Ways and Means Committee Ranking Member Richard E. Neal (D-MA) released the following statement ahead of tomorrow’s anniversary of the Big Ugly Law passing the House of Representative...

Rep. Richard Neal@neal.house.govJul 3(source)

Republicans promised their Big Ugly Law would lower costs, strengthen growth, and put more money in pockets. Instead, it gave handouts to the wealthiest few and stuck you with paying more for groceries, housing, energy, and health care. Republicans own this law, just as they own its consequences.

Rep. Richard Neal@neal.house.govJul 2(source)

There are plenty of ways to honor our nation’s 250th birthday, but none of them should include more vanity projects for Trump on your dime. Turning the Social Security card into a billboard for his brand is just Trump’s latest move to make this special time all about himself.

To commemorate America’s 250th birthday, the Social Security Administration will issue limited-edition Social Security cards to babies born from Thursday to the end of the year.

My full statement on the Trump Administration’s decision to not renew USMCA:

Neal Statement on the Trump Administration’s Decision to Not Renew USMCA

WASHINGTON, DC—Ways and Means Committee Ranking Member Richard E. Neal (D-MA) released the following statement marking the six-year anniversary since the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) ...

Rep. Richard Neal@neal.house.govJul 2(source)

USMCA is an example of what’s possible through cooperation that puts workers first, rather than scoring cheap political points against our allies. People can’t afford more trade chaos, higher prices, and missed opportunities. We must follow the review process and deliver for them.

Rep. Richard Neal@neal.house.govJul 2(source)

The consequences of Republicans’ failed economic agenda and illegal tariff scheme are catching up with them.

BREAKING: The U.S. added a meager 57,000 jobs in June, a worrying sign as wage growth also lags inflation.

Neal Statement on Supreme Court Affirming the Fed’s Independence

Rep. Richard Neal@neal.house.govJun 29(source)

Today’s Supreme Court decision affirms that the Fed works for the people, not Donald Trump. Trump’s policies have already strained wallets and drained savings. The last thing the people need is for their finances to be further threatened by his dangerous politicization.

Breaking news: The Supreme Court blocked President Trump from immediately firing Lisa Cook, a Democratic appointee to the Federal Reserve Board, a major ruling that preserves the independence of the central bank.

Rep. Richard Neal@neal.house.govJun 28(source)

Republican policies have resulted in over 5 million people losing access to affordable care – the largest loss of health coverage in American history. My constituents and the American people deserve better.

Medicaid and ACA enrollment falls by more than 5 million, new report finds

The decline over the last 12 months stems in part from President Donald Trump’s Medicaid cuts and the expiration of enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies.

Rep. Richard Neal@neal.house.govJun 28(source)

It was an honor to join veterans, community leaders, and state & local officials for an unveiling ceremony of the new Veterans Memorial Garden in Forest Park. A fitting tribute to those who served to protect our freedoms, this garden is a reminder of the sacrifice made by veterans & their families.
