A date which will live in infamy.
A quiet dawn. A sudden attack. An enduring legacy of courage. Today, we remember the servicemembers who gave their lives defending our nation at Pearl Harbor. Their sacrifice is woven into the fabric of our freedom.

While Democrats are united in lowering the cost of healthcare for Americans, Republicans are a total mess.
One day, Trump floats a so-called “healthcare plan."
The next, Speaker Johnson forces him to shoot it down.
And the American people are paying the price.

Affordable health care is a top issue for our community. Support Congressman Riley's stance by thanking him for his commitment to amending the cruel GOP budget cuts.

We only need 4 House Republicans to join us.
And we can save healthcare for tens of millions of Americans.

It’s all the more reason for the Senate to conduct vigorous oversight of this Administration’s actions. And we will.

Republicans are determined to let the Affordable Care Act tax credits expire.
These extremists haven’t done a damn thing to address the high cost of living.
And that’s why working class Americans are abandoning the GOP in droves.

If Congress doesn't act to lower health care costs, families like Ashley's will be forced to choose between paying sky-high premiums or going uninsured.
Extending the enhanced ACA tax credits is pro-family, pro-small business, and pro-American.

Calling them the “Seditious Six” & branding their statements “despicable” before review is textbook definition of prejudgment. No panel, judge, or reviewing authority can claim neutrality once the SECDEF declares the accused guilty. This looks like the procedures used in dictatorships, not the US.

Keeping the #NY19 Congressional seat blue in 2026 must be the highest priority for voters who want to protect free and fair elections in our nation.
