People are already feeling the sticker shock of their skyrocketing 2026 health care premiums. We're here in Washington ready to do something about it, but Republicans need to be here too.
Trump’s attempts to politicize the Fed were always wrong and self-dealing. Today’s rate cut is an example of why it’s important for the Fed to make decisions that are economically responsible—not politically convenient.
The Federal Reserve on Wednesday approved a widely anticipated rate cut and signaled that two more are on the way before the end of the year as concerns intensified over the U.S. labor market. cnb.cx/4nFCFSG
If a government agency has put the privacy of millions of Americans at risk, it owes the people answers. That’s why we’re introducing a Resolution of Inquiry to get to the bottom of the mess DOGE has made at SSA.
When 300 million people are at risk of identity theft at the hands of their government, people deserve accountability and answers. That’s exactly what Ways and Means Democrats are calling for. Our latest Resolution of Inquiry: democrats-waysandmeans.house.gov/media-center...
Graphic with AP headline: After Trump's DOGE action, 300 million people's Social Security data is at risk, whistleblower says

Beneath the headline is a red container with text:

NEW:
Ways and Means Democrats are demanding answers

Under the text are pages of a Resolution of Inquiry.
2/ We're forever indebted to the first responders for their immense sacrifice. September 11, 2001, is a day that forever changed our nation's history, but it's their strength and resolve that defined the final chapter.
1/ While 24 years have passed since the terrorist attacks of 9/11, the memories of that day, and the ones that followed, have not diminished. May we always hold close the memories of all those who lost their lives 24 years ago today.
Political violence is a cancer on our society and has absolutely no place in America or our political system. My thoughts are with Charlie Kirk and his family, and I hope that everyone on the Utah Valley campus is safe.
States should not have to protect themselves from conspiracy theories. I'm grateful to @massgovernor.bsky.social for putting the safety of the people of Massachusetts over politics. RFK Jr.'s pseudoscience has no place at the top of what should be the world's model health system.
NEW: Massachusetts becomes first state to impose its own vaccine coverage rules
Survivors and the American people deserve the full truth. But last night’s heavily redacted files—97% of which we’ve seen before—fall well short. That is why I signed the discharge petition to force a House vote on legislation to release the Epstein files. clerk.house.gov/DischargePet...
The President's assault on science will have lasting repercussions for our nation. Freezing $1.4 billion in NIH grants only serves to harm America's innovative edge, while China and other global competitors are doubling their efforts on scientific research. www.masslive.com/politics/202...
President Trump is unleashing an economic assault. With his illegal firing of Federal Reserve Governor Dr. Lisa Cook, he is threatening the financial security of every American. Politicizing the central bank threatens more inflation, higher rates, unstable retirement accounts, and more uncertainty.
Social Security is a promise America made that no senior would be left to face old age alone. That promise for 90 years has been expanded so that none of the nation’s most vulnerable is left behind. Republicans want to break that promise. But Democrats will ensure we keep it.
90 years ago, from the dais of the Ways and Means Committee to the stroke of FDR’s pen, the promise of Social Security was born. Since then, it has protected seniors after a lifetime of work, given families a source of stability in their darkest hours, and offered peace of mind to millions.
2/ As we commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, we are reminded now more than ever just how important it is to continue the fight to ensure equal access to the ballot box.
1/ Free and fair elections are the bedrock of our democratic system, providing an equal voice for every American, no matter their race, gender, or zip code.
Texas Democrats are standing up to an unconscionable attack on the bedrock of our democratic system: free and fair elections. My full statement on the gerrymandered congressional map proposed by the Texas State Legislature ⤵️
First the Fed, now the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Trump would rather cook the books than clean up the mess he's made. But no amount of manipulation will hide what Americans are feeling: higher prices and a tough job market.
President Donald Trump on Friday fired the Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner, hours after the agency reported that job growth in the U.S. had slowed to a near-halt.
The American people didn’t ask for this. Hiring has stalled, prices are surging, and this administration is actively undermining the labor market Democrats rebuilt. This goes beyond failed Republican leadership, it's actively making life harder for people.
NEW: The labor market is worse than previously thought, with the latest data showing the U.S. created about 106,000 total jobs in the past three months, the weakest pace of growth since the onset of the 2020 pandemic.
