My friend @libradunn1.bsky.social and I got together today to reflect on January 6th:

House and Senate Democrats came together for a moment of silence to honor the lives lost on January 6, 2021.

January 6th made it painfully clear: indifference and inaction lead to insurrection.

The violent mob that attacked the Capitol on January 6 was not peaceful.

Stop lying to the American people.

Five years later, it is not lost on our Caucus that the efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election with false claims of illegitimate voting occurred during a year when we saw historic participation from Black voters.

The fight to protect our democracy is far from over.

Healthcare tax credits for working families expire in 5 days.

Republicans refuse to extend them.

Earlier this month I asked a Republican Congressman a simple question -- why can't his constituents have the same health care coverage he does?

Millions of Americans are about to see their health care costs skyrocket, but instead of voting on my bill to save health care, the Republican Speaker sent the entire House home for the holidays.

Life is too expensive in the United States.

And Republicans have done nothing about it.

You deserve better.

After months of inaction, Republicans introduced a last-minute package that fails to address the health care crisis they created.

I anchored a @cbc.house.gov Special Order Hour demanding the permanent extension of the ACA enhanced premium tax credits before they expire at the end of the year.

There is still time to extend the Obamacare credits before premiums spike next year.

To my colleagues on the other side of the aisle: Put partisan politics aside and do the right thing.

Every single House Democrat has signed onto legislation to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits.

We just need 4 Republicans to join us.

The clock is ticking, and House Democrats are racing to save health care.

I led my @cbc.house.gov colleagues to sound the alarm for millions of Americans covered by the ACA marketplace who stand to lose their health insurance because Republicans refuse to extend enhanced premium tax credits.

When the Republican-led Education & Workforce committee holds more hearings on “American boxing” than school safety or teacher pay.

Make it make sense 🤦🏽‍♂️

House Republicans have used their majority to do great harm to everyday Americans.

Complete frauds.

Deeply saddened that heroic National Guard Spc. Sarah Beckstrom of West Virginia has died.

Praying for her family and Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe as he valiantly battles for his life.

Together we must find a way to better protect those patriots who bravely defend and serve our nation.

House Republicans have presided over the most unproductive Congress since the 1930’s — literally.

Donald Trump lied when he promised to lower costs.

And as shoppers hit the stores today, they're seeing higher costs for the goods they want to purchase.

His economic policies are failing us. Billionaires are wealthier than ever. And working people are footing the bill.

Democrats are holding the line on health care because this issue impacts ALL of us. Even if you have the best health plan on the market, Republicans' gutting of Medicaid and ending ACA tax credits will cause your costs to go up by an average of $2,320 in CA-12. (1/2)

29 days into this shutdown, families are feeling the pain. Health care costs are rising. SNAP funding is on the line. It’s time for Trump and House Republicans to stop weaponizing hunger and start working with us to reopen the government and lower costs for everyone.

Millions of Americans are learning that the cost of their health care plan is rising because of inaction from Republicans.

But rather than extend ACA tax credits that lower health care costs, Republicans have shut the government down.

At Orchard Gardens, a public school in Roxbury, I asked the school nurses what the #1 issue is for kids who come to them.

Their response? Hunger.

Republicans are worsening this crisis every day through their government shutdown and policy CHOICES.

This is 100% preventable.
