Lisa gets her health care coverage through an ACA marketplace plan and relies on a tax credit from my Health Care Affordability Act to keep costs affordable. If Republicans let these tax credits expire, her premiums will skyrocket & she may be priced out of coverage entirely.

Let me be very clear — we live in a democracy. We have a fundamental right to vote. We will NOT be silent. And Donald Trump will NOT steal this midterm election, nor the 2028 election.

With their gutting of the Voting Rights Act, SCOTUS is ushering in a new confederacy. First they strike down the voting rights amendment, then they strike down legally drawn democratic maps. Power belongs in the hands of the voters — not unelected elites. From me and @aoc:

I am SO pumped that my bill, the three-year extension of the ACA tax credits, passed the House. The time is always right to do the right thing.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

👀 Did you see the news? I introduced two new pieces of legislation! The Farmers to Families Act & New Markets for Farmers and Families Act would expand opportunities for farmers to sell their products and increase our community’s access to healthy, fresh, and local food.

We need to have an honest conversation about the Callais decision, the state of voting rights, and where we go from here. One thing I know for sure — I'm done with this court. Their corruption. The lifetime appointments that protect them. Their abuse of power has to end.

Medicare cuts are already affecting folks like Ron, who received TWO bills for $481*each* for allergy treatments that were previously covered. These are the real consequences of Republicans selling out their constituents to give the billionaires like Elon a tax break.

Donald Trump is unfit and unable to carry forward his duties as Commander-in-Chief. That’s why I have called for the 25th Amendment to be invoked.

Trump’s Department of Education has moved to strip nurses of our professional status and make school more expensive — but there's still time to push back. From now until March 2, we need you to raise your voice and submit a public comment in opposition:

I just spent 3 hours reviewing the unredacted Epstein files — here's what I saw. We passed legislation over 100 days ago mandating the FULL release of these files, and it's long past time for the DOJ to do its job and deliver justice for the survivors.

We must take Donald Trump’s threats to unlawfully detain and deport U.S. citizens seriously — because he means it.

Medicaid covers HALF of children in the United States, and nearly 30% of Illinoisans. The Republican plan to gut this essential program in order to fund a tax cut for the rich is a disgrace. I will never vote to take health care away from you.

If advanced nursing degrees are no longer classified as professional, we’ll witness an even greater shortage of health providers — meaning higher costs and less access to care for patients. The Trump Administration MUST reconsider this disastrous decision.

Donald Trump is using authoritarian fear tactics — deploying troops into major U.S. cities with Black mayors — to intimidate U.S. citizens. It’s not about “crime” or homeless encampments.

Instead of backing Trump’s bill, I’m fighting to extend the tax credits from my Health Care Affordability Act—the very credits that helped more than 24 million Americans sign up for coverage this year. Now, because of Republican inaction, your health care costs are going up.

Last week I had the opportunity to speak with the Texas House Democrats and Texas Women's Health Caucus to thank them for their sacrifice as bold freedom fighters, and to talk about one of the most important issues to me — maternal health care. Take a look at our conversation:
