Today, a GOP-appointed federal judge ruled to eliminate free, life-saving preventative health care – like cancer screenings & immunizations – guaranteed by the ACA.
Every day, MAGA Republicans prove that they will stop at nothing to rip away health care from America’s families.

When Democrats enacted the Inflation Reduction Law, our nation took a landmark step to rescue the planet.
Republicans' legislation threatens the progress we're making to fight the climate crisis, ignores the needs of America's working families and puts Polluters Over People.

Yesterday, it was my privilege to meet with Chairman Richard Gere and @SaveTibetOrg.
The Tibetan people continue to suffer oppression at the hands of the CCP, and I am proud to support their work defending their faith, their language and their way of life.

One year ago, a major step forward in our fight for equality was taken when @POTUS signed the Emmett Till Antilynching Act into law.
We must continue to fight against racism, hatred and violence in all its forms and for a future free of fear and discrimination.

Today, @HouseDemocrats called on our Republican colleagues to join us in taking action to protect our children from gun violence.
It is our mission to save lives and build safer communities – and Democrats will not stop until the job is done.

While Republicans say that there's nothing we can do about mass shootings, Democrats have a plan to protect America's children: reinstate the assault weapons ban.
Your political survival is nothing compared to the survival of our Nation's children.

Just days after we celebrated the Affordable Care Act’s thirteenth anniversary, North Carolina became the 40th state to join in expanding Medicaid under the ACA!
This means that thousands more families will now have affordable, quality health coverage.

My prayers are with the families who have lost a loved one in the violent, horrific mass shooting at Covenant School today and with the entire Nashville community.
The assault weapons ban must be reinstated to protect our children.
Let us pray! Let us act!

Today, it was my privilege to stand with brave young activists for gun violence prevention, because Generation Lockdown’s leadership has been crucial to our fight.
We must renew the assault weapons ban to protect America’s children.

Since Democrats enacted the Affordable Care Act 13 years ago, we have built on its strong foundation.
In the last Congress, we passed legislation saving families an average of $2,400 a year on their premiums, while slashing the cost of prescription drugs for our seniors.

13 years ago today, America took a giant leap forward as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was enshrined into law.

The Affordable Care Act has stood the test of time, welcoming millions of families onto affordable insurance plans and driving down out-of-pocket costs.
And when Republicans tried to repeal the ACA, Democrats, advocates and activists defeated their monstrous plan.

The ACA has stood for the last 13 years as a pillar of health and financial security for America’s working families.
Now, America is healthier, because in America, health care is more affordable and accessible than ever before.

On this day in 2010, @BarackObama signed into law the Patient Protection & Affordable Care Act: a shining achievement that presidents had strived toward for more than a century.
Today, and every day, Democrats are working to ensure that health care is a right – not a privilege.
