Happy Black History Month!

This month and every month, we honor the contributions and extraordinary achievements of Black Americans. Our country is a better place because of it.

Food prices are up. Electricity costs are up. And health care costs are skyrocketing.

This is Donald Trump’s America.

This is the reality of the Republican health care crisis.

Americans are choosing to go without health care because of reckless Republican policies that cut funding for health care and made premiums more expensive.

Trump promised to β€œrapidly bring down costs” but all he’s managed to do is Make America Expensive Again.

Americans are struggling to afford groceries, health care, rent, utilities and more.

House Democrats are focused on making life better and more affordable.

Trump claims to be β€œAmerica First”.

But he’s inflaming tensions and increasing costs here at home.

America needs a real leader who is focused on the issues Americans care about. That isn’t Donald Trump.

29.01.2026 20:24 β€” πŸ‘ 162    πŸ” 46    πŸ’¬ 68    πŸ“Œ 11

Trump and Republicans are more focused on Greenland, ballrooms and private jets, than they are tackling the affordability crisis Americans are facing.

Working families across the country are being crushed by rising costs and Republicans won’t do anything to help.

28.01.2026 21:20 β€” πŸ‘ 89    πŸ” 30    πŸ’¬ 41    πŸ“Œ 2

πŸ””Americans paid more than $1,600 last year because of Donald TrumpπŸ””

His reckless policies have only made life more expensive for working families.

28.01.2026 20:35 β€” πŸ‘ 72    πŸ” 29    πŸ’¬ 13    πŸ“Œ 3

If Trump and Republicans cared about solving the affordability crisis, they could do something about it today.

They control the House, Senate and White House.

They have the power to lower costs. They choose not to.

Republican policies are forcing families to pay more for food every day.

28.01.2026 17:35 β€” πŸ‘ 65    πŸ” 29    πŸ’¬ 15    πŸ“Œ 2

Trump and his administration have been inflaming tensions at home and abroad.

Trump is about himself. His priority isn’t America or the people he was elected to serve.

Each day that Senate Republicans don’t bring Democrats’ bill to extend the ACA tax credits to the floor means that more and more Americans have to make difficult decisions.

Food or health care. Housing or health care.

No American should have to make these kinds of choices.

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the millions of lives lost in the Holocaust.

House Democrats recommit to standing up against antisemitism and ensure that the horrors of the Holocaust are never forgotten.

Donald Trump must fire Kristi Noem immediately.

Or Democrats will initiate impeachment proceedings against her in the House.

We can do this the easy way or the hard way.

House Democrats mourn the loss of Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good.

We are grateful to local law enforcement for their work during this horrific tragedy.

We are calling for an independent investigation into their killings without interference or obstruction from DHS.

Trump has made America MORE EXPENSIVE and LESS SAFE over the past year.

And Republicans have rubberstamped his reckless policies each and every time.

This Republican majority has brought nothing but chaos and corruption.

Republicans have created a full blown health care crisis in America.

Hear from @energycommerce.bsky.social Dems about what this crisis means for working families and how we’re fighting back.

23.01.2026 17:47 β€” πŸ‘ 60    πŸ” 24    πŸ’¬ 75    πŸ“Œ 5

Leader Thune should bring House Democrats’ legislation to extend the ACA tax credits to the Senate floor for a vote immediately.

People’s lives are on the line.

Donald Trump is prioritizing Greenland and Venezuela over the needs of everyday Americans. That's shameful.

Today is the 53rd anniversary of Roe v. Wade, which enshrined a woman's right to choose into law.

But four years ago, Republicans tore it away.

House Democrats won't stop fighting to protect reproductive freedom.

The President of the United States of America should try to focus on America and lowering costsβ€”not on Venezuela or Greenland.

Reckless Republican policies are forcing Americans to pay more for food, housing, transportation, health care and more.

Americans are struggling, and Trump and Republicans are doing nothing about it.

Donald Trump is bad for America.

Costs are up across the board more than 1 million people were laid off in 2025.

And Trump's biggest accomplishment in 2025? The Big Ugly Law that pushed millions off their health care.

21.01.2026 23:38 β€” πŸ‘ 76    πŸ” 36    πŸ’¬ 101    πŸ“Œ 14

Health care premiums are skyrocketing for millions of American families across the country.

While Republicans stand still and do nothing, House Democrats passed a bipartisan bill to extend the ACA tax credits.

We care and we’re fighting to protect health care.

21.01.2026 18:20 β€” πŸ‘ 46    πŸ” 18    πŸ’¬ 37    πŸ“Œ 2

Trump wants to run Venezuela but he can’t even run the country he was elected to govern.

Inflation is up. Job creation is down. Grocery prices and health care premiums are spiking. Americans feel less safe.

America always comes in last with this president.

House Democrats’ are in the minority yet we successfully forced a vote on a bill to extend the ACA tax credits with bipartisan support.

We only need a handful of Senate Republicans to join us to pass this legislation and help lower Americans’ health care costs.

Today, we remember the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

House Democrats are committed to upholding his legacy to achieve equality for all Americans.

Trump’s so-called β€œGreat Healthcare Plan” is a great disappointment.

It does nothing to extend the ACA tax credits that millions of Americans rely on.

The only real solution is Democrats’ bill to extend the tax credits. The Senate should pass it immediately!

16.01.2026 21:54 β€” πŸ‘ 87    πŸ” 21    πŸ’¬ 40    πŸ“Œ 5

While Trump and Republicans let health care costs SKYROCKET, House Democrats came together and passed legislation to extend the ACA tax credits and help lower health care premiums.

House Democrats will always work to make life better and more affordable for working families.

Preview
ACA enrollment sinks sharply as coverage costs soar in 2026 Roughly 1.4 million fewer Americans have signed up for an Affordable Care Act plan as expiring tax breaks drive up premiums.

Because Trump and Republicans refused to extend the ACA tax credits at the end of last year, millions of Americans will go without health insurance this year.

While Donald Trump is focused on running foreign countries, Americans' pocketbooks are hurting.

Trump promised to lower costs on day one, but instead, the price of groceries, child care, housing and health care is only going up.
