I don’t think middle-class families should be paying THOUSANDS of dollars more per year for health insurance. Why is that so controversial?

I’d be happy to work across the aisle with ANYONE who wants to get serious about fixing our health care system. But we’re facing down a health care emergency that has real consequences for people right now. Extend the subsidies and my door is open.

Who are Republicans in DC fighting for? They’d rather shut it all down than spend money on helping middle-class families with ridiculous insurance premiums. Keep in mind: This is happening just months after they spent trillions on tax cuts for corporations and the ultra-wealthy.

Where is the plan? Republicans in DC have been talking about a forthcoming plan to fix health care for decades! Nothing has ever materialized except various attempts to take health care AWAY from people in order to cut taxes for the rich.

This is a new low. We just learned that the President is once again REFUSING to fund SNAP despite a court order to do so. He’s literally holding hungry children hostage to gain political leverage. It's craven and deeply immoral.

Today is Election Day. There are statewide and local elections happening in Georgia so get out and vote!

First this admin decided to withhold SNAP all together. Now, they're trying to get away with partial payments. Stop playing political games with people's food. Leave hungry families out of it.

I visited Goodr this morning, a grocery store for low-income families in ATL. The bottom line is people are struggling to afford food in this economy. This admin needs to stop dragging hungry families into their political games. There are real consequences for real people.

Republicans in DC are demanding that I vote for a budget bill that fails to fund health care. I’m happy to work across the aisle to fund the government. But I can’t vote for a budget that does nothing about our health care crisis.

We’re staring down a health care crisis in this country. It’s real and it’s happening right now. Premiums are skyrocketing for millions. The time to fix it is NOW.

We have to address the immediate crisis caused by Republican health care cuts. Then, we need to have a serious conversation about how the status quo is not working. The cost of health care is out of control.

It’s good news that the courts are forcing the Trump admin to release funds for SNAP. However, the fact that a court order was even needed is emblematic of the moral rot in DC. This admin insists on playing political games with peoples’ lives.

It’s a sad day when a judge has to order the President of the United States to feed vulnerable families and hungry children with funds already designated for that very purpose.

Happy Halloween! Wishing everyone a spooky, safe, and fun filled night of trick-or-treating! 🎃

Republicans in DC have settled on a new political strategy: Pit people who rely on SNAP against people who rely on the ACA. Just when I thought DC gutter politics couldn’t get any worse, they’ve hit a new low.

The Trump admin is making a CHOICE to cut off SNAP. They think it gives them political leverage. I can’t think of something more craven and cynical than this.

This makes me sick. Republicans in DC are manufacturing a crisis. They’re choosing not to send out SNAP benefits in a cynical attempt to gain political leverage. This is truly Washington at its worst.

GM just announced that they are cutting hundreds of Georgia jobs. This is a direct result of the reckless and harmful policies coming from the admin in DC. Enough is enough.

The House hasn’t shown up for work in weeks. They all would have lost their health coverage by now if they were subject to the same bureaucratic work reporting requirements Republicans put in place for folks on Medicaid.

A new report shows that Georgia has lost almost $3 billion in energy investments because of this admin's cuts to these Georgia jobs. Power bills are skyrocketing in our state and Republicans in DC are making it worse.

The President has been promising a new health care plan since 2015. 10 years later, there’s still no plan besides gutting Medicaid, attacking the ACA, and doubling premiums for millions of people.

I’m not going to sit around and let health care premiums double for Georgians. People can’t afford housing. They can’t afford child care. I won’t allow premiums to double on top of all that.

All of God’s children deserve health care.

The House hasn’t shown up for work in weeks. Members of Congress should be required to meet work requirements to maintain their own health benefits. Can we see how that'd go?

We live in the richest nation on earth. No one should be going bankrupt paying for their health insurance.

Starting Nov 1, SNAP benefits will be delayed in Georgia. This admin could send out benefits if they wanted to but they are CHOOSING not to. It’s a craven attempt to gain leverage in their fight to rip health care away from millions. I will fight this.

In addition to millions no longer being able to afford their coverage, premiums doubling overnight is terrible for business and the economy. We must extend these credits. It would be negligence not to.

The $20 billion the President is spending to bailout his friend in Argentina is almost enough to extend your health care credits for a whole year. If they wanted to find the money they could. We don't suffer from a lack of resources, we suffer from leadership who fails to put people first.

We have reached the point where the President is extorting payments from his own Justice Department. He is demanding his own political appointees hand over YOUR taxpayer dollars to enrich himself.

Plenty of money for private jets. No money for your health care.

Truth.

A new report revealed that health care cuts are going to cost tens of thousands of Georgia jobs. If we don't act, workers across our state will be laid off. Higher costs, fewer jobs. GOP health care cuts are bad news.

Happy Diwali to all in Georgia celebrating, and to all celebrating across our country and the world! Celebrating the victory and triumph of good over evil, Diwali reminds us that evil always goes too far. I hope this year’s Festival of Lights brings happiness, peace, and light to your lives!

Republicans in Washington keep choosing the politics over the people, again and again. When will they put people first? End this shutdown AND fund health care for the middle class.

I will not act like millions of Americans seeing their health premiums double overnight is business as usual. Let's pass a funding bill that funds health care and ends this shutdown.

President Trump came to Georgia and promised he would lower prices. Now, he's pushing a government funding bill that would let health insurance premiums DOUBLE overnight for thousands across our state. He betrayed the people of Georgia.

Georgians call my office every day, worried about how they will be able to afford their health care next year when premiums skyrocket. We're facing down a health care crisis and the time to do something about it is right now.

Spoke at the No Kings rally in Atlanta this morning. It's inspiring to see so many across our state coming together to use their voices and exercise their American right to peaceful assembly. We create the context for change.

We've voted on a bill to reopen the government AND fund health care multiple times. I've voted YES every time. Unfortunately, Republicans in DC have blocked it over and over again. Why?

It's Day 16 of the government shutdown. How long will Washington Republicans let this go on until they restore health care for Americans?

It’s Day 16 of the government shutdown. The time to fix health care is right now. The time to reopen the government is right now.

Voters should pick their representatives, not the other way around. Overturning key parts of the Voting Rights Act will leave more voters without a voice. It isn’t complicated: Congress MUST ban gerrymandering.

“It will break me.” That is what Georgians are saying about their health care premiums skyrocketing. Washington Republicans did this. We must undo it.

Tomorrow, six more states will be able to view their 2026 health care costs. On average, they'll find their premiums have doubled. It's not complicated: Washington Republicans spiked health care premiums for 22 million Americans.

Sara is a farmer from Covington, Georgia. Her monthly health care premiums for her and her husband will TRIPLE in 2026. I'm voting for legislation to reopen the government AND fund health care. I'm calling on my Republican colleagues to join me.

If you get your health care through Georgia Access, log on today to check your monthly payment for next year. A million Georgians will see that their health care premiums have doubled. The Republican funding bill allows this. I won’t stand for it.

I join all Georgians in celebrating the release of the remaining living hostages from Gaza. Strength to them and their families. I pray for the return of the remains of the deceased to their families, and for a lasting peace that protects Israeli and Palestinian children.

I have been very clear: I cannot and will not vote for a budget that fails to fund health care. Costs are out of control and hard-working Americans can’t afford to pay double their already-expensive monthly health costs.

Happy Pride, Atlanta! I'll always fight for a world where all of God’s children can be their authentic selves. Be safe, and have fun!

Thanks to the incredible students at Vidalia Heritage Academy for joining me for a Capitol tour!
