One year ago today, the world watched as Donald Trump took his oath of office as the 47th President of the United States. Since then? Trump has unleashed chaos; stoked division with his war on DEI; traumatized our federal workforce; intimidated immigrant communities; and sowed fear in our country.

Five years later, it is not lost on our Caucus that the efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election with false claims of illegitimate voting occurred during a year when we saw historic participation from Black voters. The fight to protect our democracy is far from over.

Healthcare tax credits for working families expire in 5 days. Republicans refuse to extend them. Earlier this month I asked a Republican Congressman a simple question -- why can't his constituents have the same health care coverage he does?

Millions of Americans are about to see their health care costs skyrocket, but instead of voting on my bill to save health care, the Republican Speaker sent the entire House home for the holidays.

There is still time to extend the Obamacare credits before premiums spike next year. To my colleagues on the other side of the aisle: Put partisan politics aside and do the right thing.

Every single House Democrat has signed onto legislation to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits. We just need 4 Republicans to join us. The clock is ticking, and House Democrats are racing to save health care.

Donald Trump lied when he promised to lower costs. And as shoppers hit the stores today, they're seeing higher costs for the goods they want to purchase. His economic policies are failing us. Billionaires are wealthier than ever. And working people are footing the bill.

Democrats are holding the line on health care because this issue impacts ALL of us. Even if you have the best health plan on the market, Republicans' gutting of Medicaid and ending ACA tax credits will cause your costs to go up by an average of $2,320 in CA-12. (1/2)

29 days into this shutdown, families are feeling the pain. Health care costs are rising. SNAP funding is on the line. It’s time for Trump and House Republicans to stop weaponizing hunger and start working with us to reopen the government and lower costs for everyone.

At Orchard Gardens, a public school in Roxbury, I asked the school nurses what the #1 issue is for kids who come to them. Their response? Hunger. Republicans are worsening this crisis every day through their government shutdown and policy CHOICES. This is 100% preventable.

The American people continue to see that Republicans are not fighting for their healthcare. Millions of Americans might loose their healthcare entirely but the likes of Speaker Johnson and the Republicans keep ducking and not doing their job. It's time to come to DC and negotiate.

This Administration wants to repurpose our government to benefit the billionaires. And only the billionaires. That’s why Republicans shut down the government and want to raise your health care costs.

Still need proof a shutdown was always Trump’s plan?  Americans don’t want soaring health costs, lost jobs, or disrupted services. For Trump, a shutdown is just an excuse to keep dismantling the government and gutting the programs people rely on.

Let’s be clear: undocumented immigrants aren't covered by the ACA or Medicaid—period. We want to protect American’s healthcare after Republicans voted to strip over 10 million people of their healthcare in the Big, Ugly Bill.

Today, our country is facing a crisis entirely of the Republican Party’s making. Unfortunately, Black communities will be forced to bear the brunt of their political games. Make no mistake: President Trump and the Republican majority in Congress own this shutdown.

Politics is supposed to be about compromising to do what’s best for the American people. But right now, the other side of the aisle is empty. Republicans aren’t here—because they don’t care about you, your health care, or even doing their jobs to keep the government open.
