Some families in America are on track to pay over $22,000 more per YEAR for their health insurance.

Where are their Republican senators?

Three panels of Senator Elizabeth Warren saying:

Thanks to Republicans in Congress, a 60-year-old couple making $85k/year will have to pay over $22,000 more EVERY YEAR to keep their coverage.

TWENTY TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS.

For families already hanging on by their fingernails, that could be a matter of life and death.

Today must also be an important step toward lasting peace in the region — peace for both Israelis and Palestinians. We must end the war in Gaza, surge humanitarian aid, and negotiate a two-state solution now.

I'm thinking of them and their families on this joyful day and praying for their full recovery. I'm also grieving for all those who can't come home today.

For two excruciating years, I have called for the return of the hostages brutally kidnapped on October 7th and held in Gaza.

Today is a good day. Surviving Israeli hostages are finally home and reuniting with loved ones.

While major questions remain about the future of Hamas and Gaza, the exchange of hostages and prisoners marked a key step toward ending the deadliest war ever between Israel and the militant group.

Because of Republicans’ massive health care cuts, millions of American families will see their premiums skyrocket. That could mean having to choose between paying for health care or electricity.

That's how dire our health care crisis is.

That's why Democrats are not giving up.

Democrats are not giving up.

Donald Trump is making it easier for you to get discriminated against when trying to rent or buy a home.

Housing is out of reach for too many Americans and Trump is making it worse.

Billionaire corporations are already seeing the money roll in from the giant tax giveaways Donald Trump and the Republicans stuffed into their Big, Beautiful Bill.

What about working Americans? They're losing their health care, and their costs just keep going up.

It's shameful.

This is our moment to fight back.

It’s about health care for millions of people, and saying we’ve had enough.

We’re in a health care crisis.

Hospitals and clinics will close from Trump’s cuts.

15 million people will lose their health care.

Now Trump’s CDC layoffs are making it even WORSE by gutting our ability to stop emerging health threats.

Democrats are fighting to stop this.

$22,000.

That could be a matter of keeping health care coverage or just giving up—and for some people, life and death.

Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans ripped health care away from 15 million people and are raising costs for millions more.

The numbers are damning.
