A new KFF study reports: 24 million Americans will see their health care premiums under the Affordable Care Act DOUBLE.

Further, 15 million people will be thrown off their health care entirely.
 
Unacceptable. We can’t subject millions of Americans to this unnecessary suffering.

YouTube video by Senator Elizabeth Warren Democrats want a deal that will help families struggling with high costs.

Why would Democrats throw our support behind a budget deal that any day, any time, Donald Trump could just decide he doesn’t feel like honoring — and without getting anything in return to help families struggling with high costs?

That would be a betrayal of the American people.

Do we say a man is sane when he calls in the military to fight a war when there is no war? If such a man is not sane, do we have a solution to stop the madness if he’s in the White House?

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.

I still think it’s backwards that every mass shooter owning an AR-15 is considered a right while their victims’ healthcare is considered a privilege.

Jimmy Kimmel and other late-night comedians have certainly said things about me that I found offensive, even outrageous.

It never crossed my mind to call up the networks and say, "Hey, get rid of this guy."

Because that's not how America works.

In a moment like this, when tensions are high, part of the job of the president is to remind us of the ties that bind us together.

This is precisely the kind of government coercion that the First Amendment was designed to prevent — and media companies need to start standing up rather than capitulating to it.

Why are electric bills increasing so fast?

Because the Trump Administration is strangling supply with stop work orders and tax increases on wind and solar.

The bipartisan Restore Trust in Congress Act is a necessary step to ban Members of Congress and their families from engaging in insider trading.

It is time to pass this bill and make it clear to the American people that their elected officials put them first.

There is no moral justification for today’s extraordinary concentration of wealth.

It is distorting politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people.

Closing our staggering wealth gap is crucial to the survival of our economy and our democracy.

Massie files Epstein discharge petition Live updates and analysis from POLITICO’s Congress team.

GOP Rep. Thomas Massie has filed a discharge petition to force the disclosure of Justice Department investigative files related to the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts.

But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy.

In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states.

This is why unions are vital.

If you enjoy…

Weekends

Retirement benefits

Breaks at work

This Labor Day, never forget: the sitting President said we have "too many non-working holidays."

Happy Labor Day, workers.✊

Opinion | Trump Is Building His Own Paramilitary Force

This interview, which is also available to listen to as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends we’ve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions.

Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond. 

Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around.

Those who have the power to stop mass shootings can go to hell with their "thoughts and prayers."

Do something about it, you evil bastards.

The second amendment guarantees the right to a militia to guard against federal tyranny. But if a president can use that force against its own state, against the wishes of that state, then it is no militia at all and a clear violation of the second amendment.

NEVER FORGET — when the National Guard WASN’T called, and that he lied when he said he couldn’t.

The crime scene in D.C. most damaging to everyday Americans is at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

Every activated Guardsman has a family, a job, school, or something that they are leaving to do their duty.

It’s one thing when it’s a war… or a real mass civil disturbance, which those only last a few days.

But to rip these people from their lives for a show… is awful.

What if we put the same amount of resources into fighting wildfires as we put into fighting each other?

If the everyday American can’t profit off of insider information, politicians shouldn’t either. That’s why I voted to ban them from trading stocks.

So congress going home for vacation early! Because of Epstein. Demand a town hall now, they have free time!
