If Congress doesn't act to lower health care costs, families like Ashley's will be forced to choose between paying sky-high premiums or going uninsured. Extending the enhanced ACA tax credits is pro-family, pro-small business, and pro-American.

These ceremonies are as patriotic as you can get. I got to participate in a Tompkins County naturalization ceremony a few years back and it was incredibly joyous. Everyone was so excited to become an American and that should be celebrated

Mike Johnson tells eight lies in 32 seconds. This has got to be some kind of record.

Infuriating. As @hillaryclinton.bsky.social put it, “It’s not his house. It’s your house. And he’s destroying it.”

Senate Republicans are willing to make hard-working Americans choose between buying groceries and accessing health care. That's just wrong.

"In one of the largest single-day nationwide demonstrations in U.S. history, nearly seven million Americans gathered today, 2 million more than June, in over 2,700 cities and towns standing together in nonviolent defiance of authoritarianism..." to say #NoKings

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Tompkins County showed up for Ithaca’s #NoKings! @amannakelles.bsky.social fired up the crowd! Thank you to @tompkindivisible.bsky.social for bringing the community together for a peaceful protest, inspiring words, and beautiful music.

Have fun today friends! #NoKings www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvOZ...

One of my favorite things about monitoring actions throughout the day is seeing the international solidarity start trickling in early 💙💙💙

See you tomorrow!

The world is getting its energy more cheaply and cleanly. But not the United States. Here our electricity bills are skyrocketing. Here’s why.

This is not about saving democracy. It is about protecting our people. On October 18, we rise. Not to defend broken systems, but to defend each other. Because our communities deserve more than fear, silence, and billion-dollar bailouts for the powerful. No Thrones. #NoKings

Trump and the Republicans are trying to take away Medicaid, dismantle the Affordable Care Act, and slash Medicare for millions of Americans. If Republicans don't act now, thousands of people in #NY19 will see huge premium increases.

Thank you, @senatorleawebb.bsky.social!

New polling from Hart Research shows that this is EXACTLY what 71% of Americans want to see, with the added qualification that they want Congress to "get to work" on lowering the unaffordable cost of living. #GOPShutdown

Have you signed up? We'll see you at 1PM on 10/18. You know what to do, Tompkins County!

ABC pulled Kimmel. Disney bowed to President Trump. Media silenced at the president’s request is authoritarianism, not freedom. Now, Disney has reinstated Kimmel, because in America, the power belongs to the people. No Thrones. No Crowns. #NoKings social.demcast.com/s/meQp1hAg

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system. I am not fearful — I am fearless. We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

While 750,000 federal workers go unpaid Trump’s out playing golf—on our dime. Families are rationing formula while he’s working on his handicap. The only thing he’s leading in is hypocrisy. ⛳️ #TrumpsHealthCareShutdown

Senate Democrats continue to hold the line to protect healthcare for millions of Americans and stop health insurance costs from doubling this winter. More votes are expected today, and your senators need to hear from you. Encourage Democrats to keep fighting: act.indivisible.org/sign/funding...

Rural Americans are staring down a 107% spike in health insurance premiums if ACA tax credits expire. Republicans chose billionaire tax breaks over farmers & working families. Everyone pays the price for #TrumpsHealthCareShutdown. Tell a friend.

New Democratic View in the Tompkins Weekly. Shawna Black urges communities to end political hostility by promoting civility, dialogue, and safety for public servants. Read her full op-ed here: tompkinsweekly.com/articles/end...

Thank you, @senatorleawebb.bsky.social and @amannakelles.bsky.social!

Republicans are threatening to shut down the government unless they can take away health care from millions of workers and families to fund billionaire tax cuts. In the #NY19 this would mean thousands will lose their health coverage or see their premiums skyrocket.

We won our lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Energy to stop major cuts to state energy programs. My office will keep fighting to protect our families, their wallets, and our move toward clean, affordable energy.

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake.
