The American people have a right to know the truth about their government and members of the press have a right to report it. Trump just showed us the extreme lengths he will go to thwart that. That isn’t the hallmark of a courageous leader, it’s cowardice and un-American.

Neal Statement on Trump’s Latest Health Care Sabotage

Richard E. Neal@neal.house.gov2d ago(source)

As if making coverage harder to access through skyrocketing premiums and more red tape wasn’t painful enough, Republicans are doubling down to take it away entirely. It’s clear that Trump is perfectly okay with that, as long as those at the top can keep cashing in.

The Washington Post

Breaking news: Vice President JD Vance is set to announce that the administration is removing hundreds of thousands of people from Affordable Care Act coverage, saying that they were fraudulently enrolled in the government health program.

Read my letter with Rep. John Larson and Rep. Danny Davis:

Neal, Larson, Davis Demand Bisignano Answer for Social Security Staffing Crisis

WASHINGTON, DC— Ways and Means Committee Ranking Member Richard E. Neal (D-MA), alongside Social Security Subcommittee Ranking Member John B. Larson (D-CT) and Worker and Family Support Subcommittee R...

Richard E. Neal@neal.house.gov3d ago(source)

Social Security Commissioner Bisignano told Congress he has “the right amount of staff.” Meanwhile, field offices are described as “ghost offices” & record-low morale has created the worst staffing crisis in SSA’s history. His failure to respond after 3 months leaves serious questions unanswered.

The Kennedy Center is a beacon of performing arts & a memorial to one of our greatest presidents. Demolishing it would be illegal & un-American. Imagine a president adding their name to the Washington Monument or Lincoln Memorial. Only weak leaders grift their names onto the legacies of great ones.

Trump's track record speaks for itself. The American people can't afford for Congress to hand more price-hiking tariff power to the most corrupt president in history.

Richard E. Neal@neal.house.govSep 15(source)

If this sanctions bill passes, $6.2B worth of imports into Massachusetts could face tariffs as high as 100%. That means higher costs at the grocery store, gas station, & everywhere in between. Massachusetts already faced an estimated $3.7B tariff tab. This is the last thing families need.

Where Trump's tariffs hit Massachusetts the hardest

States bear wildly different burdens from President Trump's $342 billion in tariffs.

Richard E. Neal@neal.house.govSep 11(source)

House Democrats stand with Ukraine. But giving Trump even more tariff power while people are struggling to get by isn’t the answer. We need a bipartisan bill that holds Russia accountable without risking higher costs for the American people.

It was also a reminder of how close they hold these individuals to their hearts, and how deeply the memory of their loved ones endures. We will never forget.

Rep. Richard Neal@neal.house.govSep 11(source)

This morning, I joined the Westfield community and the families of four Westfield residents who were taken from us 25 years ago. Hearing their stories was a poignant reminder of how much time has passed and the many milestones their loved ones should have had the chance to witness.

Today, as we commemorate the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001, we remember the nearly 3,000 lives that were lost, and honor the brave men and women who answered the call not just that day, but in the days, months, and years that followed.

Richard E. Neal@neal.house.govSep 9(source)

Trump promised you he’d cut costs on day 1. Nearly 600 days later, and you’re footing the bill for his costly war, thoughtless tariffs, and grandiose vanity projects. Workers and families in Massachusetts deserve better.

Richard E. Neal@neal.house.govSep 8(source)

Trump is taking his war on child care one step further, making it even harder for parents to find child care while keeping their jobs. His latest move will strain resources, limit access to benefits for workers, and threaten the funding that providers rely on to keep their doors open.

Rep. Richard Neal@neal.house.govSep 4(source)

Republicans decided to give up and go home after handing you the most expensive August at the gas pump and for diesel on record. The Trump Administration's message? Be grateful it isn’t worse. Republicans made this economy too difficult to get by in, never mind get ahead.

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

For Republicans, there’s never a problem giving those at the top every advantage money can buy. But when it comes to everyone else, they’ll go out of their way to kick the ladder out. Democrats won't stop fighting until these racist attacks are put to a stop once and for all.

Breaking News: The Trump administration released new rules that could revoke tax-exempt status from schools offering targeted support to minority students, a new front in the president’s campaign against higher education.

Rep. Richard Neal@neal.house.govAug 27(source)

John F. Kennedy was a son of Massachusetts who dedicated his life to serving our nation. The Kennedy Center has carried on his legacy and continues to serve as a beacon for performing arts around the world. That legacy cannot be demolished to satisfy Trump’s vanity.

Trump administration says it might demolish the Kennedy Center if court blocks renovations

The DOJ attorneys called the Kennedy Center “structurally unsound, fundamentally unsafe, and embarrassing to the Nation’s Capital.”
