You deserve an America where hard work pays off.

Where health care is affordable and available.

And where the government works for you β€” not the billionaire class.

You deserve better than the status quo.

White House announces new $200M ballroom as part of Trump's latest makeover of 'The People's House' The White House has announced that construction on a new $200 million ballroom will begin in September.

Republicans: We're slashing health care access for 17 million Americans and food assistance for hungry families.

Also Republicans: let's spend $200M on a gold-plated White House ballroom!

Rep. Danny Davis is a legend in the fight for social and racial justice and a champion for the people of Illinois’ 7th district.

Forever grateful for his service to our country and his mentorship to our Caucus.

I wish him and his family all the best in their next chapter.

Treasury Secretary Says Trump Accounts Could Pave Way to Privatizing Social Security

Well, Republicans said the quiet part out loud:

They want to "privatize Social Security".

Your money. Your benefits. Sold to the highest bidder.

So much for standing with seniors.

60 years ago today, Medicaid and Medicare transformed health care in America.

Today, the GOP is rolling back access to care to pad the pockets of the wealthy few.

We won't stand by while they make care less affordable and our families less healthy. You deserve better.

We cannot allow gun violence to continue tearing our communities apart. We must end this senseless cycle.

Judge Indefinitely Blocks Withholding of Medicaid Funds to Planned Parenthood

BREAKING: A federal judge has blocked the GOP's attempt to defund Planned Parenthood.

This is a big win. But we need to keep up the pressure. Republicans want nothing more than to secure a nationwide abortion ban and rip health care away from women.

Trump's Epstein coverup is just a continuation of the GOP agenda.

They defend the powerful while ripping the rug out from working families.

Most US adults say child care costs are a 'major problem,' a new AP-NORC poll finds A new poll shows most Americans see child care costs as a major issue, and majorities support the federal government offering free or low-cost day care and requiring employers to provide paid family l...

Americans agree: our country’s child care system is fundamentally broken.

Democrats' Child Care for Working Families Act would cut the cost of care to just $15 a day.

It's a commonsense solution. So why are Republicans standing in its way?

Thanks to the GOP’s Big, Ugly law, over 300 rural hospitals will close across America.

Patients will be forced to drive hours for emergency care β€” or be left with no options at all.

They're jeopardizing the health and wellness of millions to pad the pockets of a wealthy few.

So they're resorting to the oldest trick in the right-wing playbook: pick your own voters.

I am horrified by the starvation in Gaza.

More food and humanitarian aid must be allowed in to meet the urgent needs of the Palestinian people.

Cutting Medicaid isn’t just bad for public health – it hurts the whole economy. On today’s Democratic Daily Download, @repemiliasykes.bsky.social explains how Medicaid cuts will cause hospitals to close and people to lose their jobs.

24 million women rely on Medicaid to access basic health care.

Routine physicals, maternal and postpartum care, birth control, childbirth, cancer screenings.

Republicans have sacrificed their health to make a handful of billionaires richer.
