Arctic security is a serious strategic issue, but Donald Trump is not a serious president. I'm glad that he's backing down from his threats, but this should never have happened in the first place.

Republicans are adding $4 trillion to the national debt so billionaires can get more tax breaks — all while they cut health care for working Americans. Their unconscionable cuts are forcing families to choose between their health and keeping a roof over their heads.

Rena Bumbray-Graves cares for others every day. Because Republicans let the ACA tax credits expire, she’s now losing her own health care—along with millions of Americans. I asked her what this crisis means for her family. @seiuva512.bsky.social @seiu.org

I've got a novel idea for President Trump: instead of giving Americans Greenland, how about giving them health care?

Today marks one year since Trump returned to the White House, and the damage has been immense. So today I gathered with local leaders in North Philly to detail all the damage his policies have done to Philly and America.

Trump's crazy actions are uniting the world — against us. His tariff on 6 of our closest NATO allies does more damage to NATO than any outside attack ever could. NATO is the bedrock of US security. It must be protected.

On MLK Day we celebrate the profound impact of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's legacy. His memory continues to challenge America to answer our highest calling — delivering justice and prosperity for all people.

As the Lead Democrat of the U.S. Delegation to the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, I completely oppose President Trump’s threats against the sovereignty of a NATO ally. He is doing more damage to this important alliance than any attack from outside ever could.

I'm using every tool at my disposal to reverse Trump’s health care cuts. Republicans know cutting health care to enrich billionaires is unpopular — that’s why 17 Republicans voted with every Democrat to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits.

As the top Democrat on Congress's delegation to NATO, I am uncompromising in my support for this alliance. This week, I introduced the NO NATO for Purchase Act & No Funds for NATO Invasion Act. Both would prevent Trump from betraying our allies and making us less safe. (1/4)

Trump and his Republican enablers want Congress to be nothing more than a rubber stamp for all of Trump's whims. It's pathetic — they’re supposed to fight for their constituents, not bend the knee to their dear leader.

Trump's new health care plan if it was honest:

Trump's platitudes are worthless — look at his record. If he cared about bringing down costs, he wouldn't have sent health care premiums skyrocketing, imposed a national sales tax with his tariffs, or blown up the deficit to give tax breaks to his billionaire friends.

For decades, the President's Budget Director has always testified annually before the Budget Committee. But now, as the Trump administration raises costs on working Americans, Russell Vought refuses to testify. Maybe he's too afraid to defend his record.

Trump's tariff taxes haven't just raised prices on consumers — they're hurting American manufacturing. The data is clear: over the past year, America has lost 68,000 manufacturing jobs.

Trump's tariff taxes continue to keep inflation above benchmarks. Instead of addressing the problem, he's abusing the Department of Justice's power to attack the Fed. Trump's chaos continues to literally cost families money and creates even more economic uncertainty.

The independence of the Federal Reserve might sound wonky — but it's critically important to our economy's health. Trump must stop pressuring the Fed, or he risks raising costs even higher.

The Senate must immediately pass our extension of Affordable Care Act tax credits. If they do not act, millions of Americans might not be able to afford their care, and hospitals across our commonwealth will face devastating cuts.

The odds were against House Democrats — but we were able to pass a clean extension of the Affordable Care Act tax credits. The Senate must come to its senses and act so that millions of Americans don't suffer the full consequences of Trump's health care cuts.

Trump is targeting the nonpartisan Chair of the Federal Reserve because Powell won’t bend to his demands. Trump’s political interference is an abuse of power and a threat to our economy. American families can’t afford more of Trump’s economic sabotage. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/11/u...

Invading Greenland would not make America safer. It would play into the hands of our fiercest adversaries and betray an alliance that has kept us safe for nearly 80 years. My thoughts in @inquirer.com today: share.inquirer.com/FLLiWa

The House has done its job. Led by Democrats, a bipartisan majority voted to extend the ACA tax credits families rely on. Now, it’s time for the Senate to act and make sure millions of Americans don’t lose their health care.

A year into President Trump's second term, and he hasn't delivered for working Americans. The job market is a mess, he's imposed a national sales tax, and he's trying to kick millions of Americans off their health care. Trump simply doesn't care about working families.

If we don't stop Trump's health care cuts, health insurance costs will skyrocket for our neighbors. The Senate, including Pennsylvania's two Senators, must step up and support our plan to avert this crisis.

NEW: The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office just put out a new forecast for our economy. They found that Trump's tariff taxes are raising inflation and hurting American families. Donald Trump promised to lower costs "on day one" — he broke that promise and cut taxes for billionaires instead.

Republicans are hurting Pennsylvanians — cutting health care, raising costs, giving tax breaks to billionaires, and risking new forever wars. But I go to Washington to work for my neighbors: the hardworking people of Pennsylvania. Philly doesn't raise quitters.

As the top Dem in Congress's NATO delegation, I'm hearing from many of our allies who are deeply concerned by Trump's threat to invade Greenland and attack a NATO ally. Republicans must back up their words with action and use Congress's authority to stop Trump's recklessness.

My Democratic colleagues and I just took the first step to force a vote on extending the tax credits that help millions of Americans afford health care.   While Republicans keep driving costs up, I’m fighting to bring them down.

The Republican health care crisis is hurting our neighbors right now. Millions are at risk of losing coverage, and millions more are seeing their costs skyrocket. This didn’t happen by accident. Republicans chose tax cuts for billionaires over the health care of millions of Americans.

If Donald Trump invades Greenland, it would be the end of NATO as we know it and a devastating blow to the historic alliances that keep Americans safe. We must not betray our allies for the petty ambitions of one man. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Five years ago today, Donald Trump incited a violent attack on the U.S. Capitol in an effort to overturn a free and fair election. More than 140 law enforcement officers were injured, and five officers lost their lives. (1/4)

I asked to hear stories from people across Pennsylvania, and they have been loud and clear: the Republican health care crisis is having a real impact on our neighbors. Stories like these are why I won't stop fighting to deliver affordable care for every American.

Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas to all! I hope this season brings peace, comfort, and joy to you and your family.

An overwhelming majority of the American people don't want to see millions of our neighbors lose their health care. It's time for Republicans in Congress to care more about their own communities than they do about appeasing Donald Trump.

For nearly every person I speak to, their top concern is health care. They know that while Republicans gave billionaires more tax breaks for Christmas, millions of working Americans are getting their premiums raised, or are losing their coverage entirely.

Trump can tear down the White House or put his name on buildings in a matter of weeks. But apparently when it comes to being transparent with the American people and following the law, that’s a no-can-do. What is he afraid of?

A bipartisan majority was ready to extend health care tax credits and keep premiums down. Instead, Republican leadership sent Congress home—allowing costs to rise and abandoning millions of Americans who needed relief.

Trump's big announcement last night is that he's taking money from our military and then putting his name on it. That's not a dividend. This is like wrapping somebody's stuff and gifting it back to them for Christmas. Everything this president does is a con.

Instead of extending the ACA credits, Republican leadership pushed a health care scheme that does nothing to fix the very crisis they caused. They are ignoring millions of Americans whose health care premiums are skyrocketing.

Calling the Republican “plan” a solution to the health care crisis is like saying 2+2=170. It’s nonsense. Their scheme actually kicks even more Americans off their coverage—on top of the 15 million already losing health care because of Republican policies.

The American people have been loud and clear: don't allow health care premiums to skyrocket. Speaker Johnson must immediately schedule the vote.

Republicans in Congress, including the so-called moderates, voted to cut health care for millions of Americans this summer. Now, they have a new scheme. Instead of fixing the crisis they created, their new bill would actually kick even more Americans off their health care.

Honored to meet my constituent Latanya Morrison, who walked 179 miles from Philadelphia to Washington to demand more funding for pediatric cancer research, in memory of her grandson, Ahmad, who died of brain cancer. I was proud to greet her and her family at the finish line.

The number one concern I hear from people is about their health care coverage. Even if you aren't on Medicaid, Medicare, or an Affordable Care Act plan, the Republican health care crisis will impact you. Their cuts will make premiums rise and hurt health care for everyone.

With every passing month, the data makes it clearer and clearer that Trump's chaos is hurting working people. His backwards policies are raising prices and costing Americans jobs. But the president doesn't care so long as his billionaire friends are doing well.

I worked damn hard to secure historic investments for the Chinatown Stitch, all for Trump and Republicans to rescind the funding in a partisan vote. But I'm not giving up. I met with local leaders today and will not rest until this project is completed.

Trump’s tariffs are a national sales tax that drives up costs for consumers and runs small businesses into the ground. Trump's been terrible at business his whole career. This is the same guy who owned a casino and somehow found a way to lose money. Sad!

Enjoyed speaking to a packed house in Scranton this weekend. Met and spoke with so many great Pennsylvanians who care deeply about our country and are worried about the way things are going. It’s time to finally make government work for them, and not the billionaires.

Wishing a wonderful and joyous Hanukkah to all who celebrate. May the warmth of the menorah bring peace, love, and happiness to your homes. Chag Sameach!
