The average price of gas in the U.S. surpassed $4.50/gallon, up more than $1.50 since Trump's war began. This is the "small price to pay," as the President described it, for his reckless & illegal war. Add gasoline to the growing list of things Americans can no longer afford under Trump's economy.

The more that's exposed, the worse it gets. First, it was DOGE. Now, it's Medicare and Social Security numbers being exposed in a half-baked government database. The people need answers.

Medicare portal database exposed health providers’ Social Security numbers

It is the latest technical problem related to the Trump administration’s push to create a national directory of health providers.

Don’t let Republicans convince you that they’re the party of fiscal responsibility.

U.S. Debt Tops 100% of GDP

Federal debt exceeding the size of the economy is a potent symbol of the gathering fiscal stresses on the U.S.

Neal Statement on the Failure of the Big Ugly Law

WASHINGTON, DC—Ways and Means Committee Ranking Member Richard E. Neal (D-MA) released the following statement marking the end of the 2026 tax filing season:

Rep. Richard Neal@neal.house.govApr 15(source)

This Tax Day, it’s clear: Republicans handed tax cuts to the wealthy and higher costs to workers and families. Over 2 million refunds delayed, sky-high inflation, and a stretched-thin IRS that Trump is suing for $10 billion. Americans were promised relief but got higher bills instead.

Rep. Richard Neal@neal.house.govApr 6(source)

To all those who celebrated today, happy Easter! I hope your day was filled with hope, renewal, and time spent with those who matter most.

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

There are few times in history where we can so clearly trace so much economic calamity back to one day. But President Trump has made it easy for us.

Neal Statement on One-Year Anniversary of Trump’s Liberation Day

SPRINGFIELD, MA—Ways and Means Committee Ranking Member Richard E. Neal (D-MA) released the following statement ahead of the one-year anniversary of Trump’s “Liberation Day”:

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

One year after the President’s so-called ‘Liberation Day,’ all the President has to show for it is higher costs, stalled growth, and a weakened job market. Workers and families are paying for his failed trade policies every day and at every turn.

One year ago today, Trump slapped tariffs on everything money can buy. And since then, it’s only been chaos, higher prices, and fewer jobs.

Chag Sameach to all those celebrating Passover in MA-01 and around the world. May this season be filled with prosperity, joy, and peace.

How Americans Are Navigating Higher Energy Costs on Every Front

They are borrowing Costco memberships, cutting back on nights out and skipping road trips. “You better watch your account to the penny.”

Rep. Richard Neal@neal.house.govMar 26(source)

The American people didn't ask for the war in Iran, yet they are paying the price. Health care costs and grocery prices were already skyrocketing, and now the national average for gas is nearing $4 per gallon—and climbing. This is the reality of Trump's "Golden Age."

Republicans fired 27% of the IRS workforce—now, the refunds of 1.4 million Americans are being held hostage. The GOP delivered more headaches and fewer resources, not efficiency. Ranking Member @neal.house.gov:

It’s another day of Republicans pretending it’s business as usual while Americans struggle with the very crises they helped create. Ranking Member @neal.house.gov:

16 years ago today, President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act into law, clearing the way for millions to access affordable health care. Democrats won’t stop fighting for health care to be a reality for all.

16 years ago, Democrats made history and showed what’s possible when you invest in people. 16 years later, Republicans made history with the largest cut to health care. Dems believe families should never have to choose between rent or their doctor. Our fight won’t waver until that’s a reality.

Rep. Richard Neal@neal.house.govMar 12(source)

Antisemitism has no place in America, and no one should ever have to fear for their safety because of their faith. We must confront antisemitism and stand firmly with our Jewish neighbors.

Rep. Richard Neal@neal.house.govMar 12(source)

I am horrified by the antisemitic attack that took place in West Bloomfield, Michigan. My heart goes out to the Temple Israel community and Jewish communities around the world that are reeling from yet another act of senseless violence.
