1/ The President calling the shooting of Renee Good “justified” before any investigation is conducted, and especially in light of the egregious footage that was made public, is disrespectful to the victim’s family and an affront to due process.
More than 1.4 million Americans opted out of their health insurance because Republicans refused to extend the ACA tax credits before the end of the year. House Democrats forced a vote. We did our part to keep health care affordable and accessible. It's now up to the Senate.
Breaking News: About 1.4 million fewer people have enrolled in Obamacare coverage this year in the face of soaring premiums. That number could increase significantly.
Trump continues to target the independent Chair of the Federal Reserve, AND his own appointee, for following the data and doing right by the American people. Now he’s weaponizing the Justice Department against him. Getting his way matters more than your wallet or economic stability. Pathetic.
The first year of Trump 2.0 has proven to be the worst year for jobs outside of a recession since 2003. Trump has made clear his indifference to lowering costs and creating jobs. But that only strengthens our resolve to keep fighting for the people.
JUST IN: The US economy added just 50,000 jobs in December, capping off one of the weakest years of job gains in decades. https://cnn.it/3Z40dWN
This is a good day for the American family. After Democrats forced a vote, the House passed an extension of the ACA tax credits to keep health care accessible & affordable for millions of Americans. I urge the Senate to consider this bill immediately, ensuring no American goes without coverage.
Breaking news: More than a dozen House Republicans joined every Democrat to pass a bill extending enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies for three years — the sharpest GOP break with party leadership yet.
Republicans and Donald Trump spent all of their legislative might this year cutting taxes for billionaires. Now everyone else is left with higher costs, fewer choices, and an economy that doesn’t work for them.
Almost a year of Republicans in complete control: > Unemployment at its highest since 2021 > Nearly no jobs added since April > US manufacturing has been shrinking for 9 months > Households are paying an extra ~$1,200 for tariffs > Layoffs happening in nearly every sector
The Trump Administration was working behind the scenes to kick thousands of older workers with disabilities off Social Security. We fought back and they backed off. This is why we fight to protect Social Security. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Trump and Republicans have made their priorities clear: they’ll raise costs for everyone else so long as it means another tax giveaway for billionaires. That agenda doesn't earn my vote.
A principled deal was possible, but ignoring the reality of skyrocketing costs doesn’t earn my vote. It’s just another day in Trump’s economy for workers and their families. For that, I'm still a no.
Whether it’s at the grocery checkout, in the doctor’s office, or on their energy bills, Americans know the Trump economy isn’t working for them. Burying a job report won’t change what they’re feeling. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
Speaker Nancy Pelosi is a titan of this institution. This country is stronger because of her patriotism, her example, and her unwavering belief in America’s promise. I wish my dear friend, Speaker Pelosi, and her beloved family every happiness in this well-deserved next chapter.
Today, I watched the legality of Trump's tariffs argued in front of the Supreme Court. This case is about more than that though—it's about bringing down prices and restoring Congress' power.
