If Republicans don’t extend ACA tax credits and premiums double, 7 in 10 people won’t be able to afford their coverage. This is an entirely preventable crisis— it’s time for my colleagues across the aisle to act.

Democrats built Direct File to cut out middlemen like TurboTax that charge ridiculous fees. Trump killed it. Thanks to Republicans, Turbotax wins and you lose.

The White House may have a new gilded ballroom and a new marble bathroom, but hardworking Americans are struggling to afford housing. It's time for the federal government to get off the sidelines when it comes to solving our housing crisis.

It’s clear President Trump’s involvement with Jeffrey Epstein is more than he wants us to know. The answer is simple: release the Epstein files. The American people deserve answers.

I’m more focused than ever on holding Republicans accountable for the health care crisis they created. They have 2 months to keep costs down for millions of Americans. If they don't, the American people will know who’s responsible.

I didn’t vote for this deal. But where do we go from here? I know there are House members from both parties who want to keep our health care crisis from getting worse. It’s on Speaker Johnson to hold a vote, restore these tax credits, and bring down costs.

A 50-year mortgage just shows how shortsighted this administration is. For a slightly lower monthly payment, you end up paying WAY more interest in the long term. We need to pass real solutions to bring down housing costs- not just move costs around to benefit big banks.

May we all take today as an opportunity to pause, reflect, and express our gratitude to those who have served in uniform to defend our country. Wishing everyone a meaningful and blessed Veterans Day this year.

Let Me Be Blunt: promises won’t bring premiums down. The government funding deal that just passed the Senate simply isn’t good enough. But this fight isn’t over.

My full statement on the continuing resolution to end the government shutdown:

The president is willing to try everything - including unproven strategies that undercut Americans’ bargaining power - to avoid extending tax credits that we KNOW will bring premiums down. It’s time for Republicans to get serious about addressing this health care crisis.

It’s unconscionable how hard this administration would fight the court to deny people access to nutritious foods.   But as they leave Americans behind, many of our states are stepping up to fill the gap.   That’s why I introduced the SNAP Back Act— to repay states that do the right thing.

It's unbelievable how hard this administration is fighting to keep millions of Americans hungry.

The only path forward is a deal that protects peoples' health insurance. Trump just needs to get involved in the art of this deal.

Today's Democratic proposal reopens the government, provides immediate relief to millions of Americans whose health care premiums are about to skyrocket, and creates a pathway towards a long-term solution for the tax credits that are critical to health care affordability.

It’s unbelievable that we’re in the longest shutdown in HISTORY… and Donald Trump is still too scared of Democrats to work out a deal and prevent huge premium increases for millions.

This plan is plain and simple: reopen the government, and extend the ACA tax credits as-is for 1 year so families don't have to suffer while we work to negotiate long-term fixes.   We have the chance to make a real impact— I hope my Republican colleagues will join us.

People are already feeling the pain of higher grocery bills, housing costs, and energy costs— they can't afford the cost of health care skyrocketing even further.   They thought Trump's 'Golden Age' meant affordable gold plans, but all they got was an outrageous golden ballroom.

Trump knows Republicans own this shutdown and its impacts on the American people. We all know this needs to end. It’s time for him to bring his party to the table so we can fix the health care crisis they created and reopen the government.

From collapsing people to a collapsing economy, President Trump's reaction has been about the same.

What on earth? You don't need an ID to buy groceries or gas, and every state verifies the identity of its voters. The 'voter ID laws' he's talking about are meant to intimidate and shut people out of our Democratic process— of course we're not just going to let it happen.

During my time in the House, I came to know @pelosi.house.gov as a fierce leader and advocate for American families. She led our caucus during some of the America's most challenging times, from the great recession to COVID-19, championing some of the most consequential legislation in...

This is rich coming from the man who has refused to call the House into session for over a month.

I wish this administration would focus on helping struggling Americans, but this isn't a good sign.

Last night, Americans across the country made it clear: they want leaders who stand up to bullies, work to bring down costs, and fight to protect their access to health care. @democrats.senate.gov are ready.

The administration is only sending partial SNAP payments to families, causing headaches for states and stress for recipients. Hunger is not a game. They need to obey the court and send full payments out immediately.

With open enrollment underway and premiums set to skyrocket, I met with health care advocates in Wilmington to discuss the impacts they're seeing in our state. We must act to end this health care crisis, reform our insurance system, and lower costs. Delawareans can't wait.

This morning, I heard from Reverend Fleshman what skyrocketing premiums mean for our communities   These price hikes leave people with few options, and none of them are good— we need this administration to come to the table and take action to make care affordable for ALL of us.

After kicking millions of Americans off their insurance, Republicans are refusing to take action to prevent outrageous price hikes like this for millions more. They're making our communities sicker and poorer, and they don't even seem to care.

Open enrollment begins today, and folks up and down our state are about to see what Republicans’ refusal to come to the table really costs.   Head to healthcare.gov to see what these skyrocketing premiums could mean for you and your family.

Millions of Americans are about to see their premiums double. Let’s see what the President is working on:

When open enrollment begins tomorrow, a 61-year-old in Georgetown will see a premium that’s *446% higher* than it was last year - $1,192.45 per month. With everyday costs already high, this is simply unaffordable. We cannot let this stand.

As the Trump admin. refuses to use emergency funds to help folks on SNAP, states like ours are stepping up. I just introduced legislation that would make sure states aren’t left footing the bill.

Let Me Be Blunt: congressional Republicans are about to let our friends and neighbors go hungry. 42 MILLION people are about to lose access to food assistance. It’s time for Republicans to come back to the table and help us fix this.

Thanks to Republicans in Washington, a 50-year-old couple in Middletown will see their premiums go up by 224% this Saturday. Are there any Delawareans who want to spend more than $1,200 extra PER MONTH for their health coverage?

This administration let nearly 100 million pounds of food go to waste rather than deliver it to food banks. It’s like they WANT millions of Americans to go hungry.

The government has been shut down for 28 days. Senate Republicans:

There’s no doubt, we have important business to get to here in the Senate, but we can’t ignore the basic fact: we can’t credibly take on the issues facing our nation until Republicans come to the table and reopen the government.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Countless farmers in Delaware and across the country are suffering the consequences of this administration's recklessness. They don't need fake sympathy from a man worth half a billion dollars. They need an administration focused on putting them first.

Just this year, Republicans… -Cut funding for SNAP, and now are trying to use hungry families as political leverage -Cut funding for affordable health care, and now are trying to use higher premiums as political leverage They're playing politics with people's lives.

Energy costs are up Housing costs are up Food costs are up And soon, health care costs will skyrocket. The President said on day one he would lower costs, but the reality is he's making things more expensive for everyone.

Well, at least they're finally being honest about their priorities.

They may not act like it, but even Republicans know we have to take on skyrocketing health care costs.   To prove it, @mcbride.house.gov and I got together to connect Republicans with their own words about this crisis.   It's time for them to put their money where their mouths are.

Proud to join @merkley.senate.gov on the floor to break down some of this administration’s MOST corrupt acts and help raise the alarm. Here, the voices of our communities hold weight and I’ll never stop speaking out.

Republicans’ Big Ugly Betrayal sold out working people AND small businesses, all to pay for permanent tax cuts for the ultra rich.

Exactly right. This is an incredible threat to our nation, and @merkley.senate.gov has been holding the Senate floor for hours to call it out. Tune in ⬇️ www.youtube.com/live/ymDt1Xe...

This weekend, I joined Rev. Al Sharpton on Politics Nation with a simple message: the President and Speaker Johnson need to call House Republicans back to work. We can’t negotiate with people who aren’t even in the CITY, much less the Capitol.

First, Republicans gutted health care access for millions of Americans. Then, they shut down the government for 21 days— with no end in sight. Now, they’re throwing themselves a party to celebrate. Up next: YOUR premiums go up because of their inaction.

Trump promised to lower costs and help working class Americans. Now, costs are higher than ever, and no one can find a new job. His economic leadership has been nothing short of a disaster.
