U.S. Congressman representing South Carolina's 6th Congressional District.
This is decades of Republican health care policy in a nutshell.

They are in lockstep when it comes to taking away Americans’ health care, but can’t manage to come together to offer any ideas that would make health care more affordable for all.

Children in underperforming schools and the lowest income communities are going to suffer greatly from this.

What is Trump proud of hurting American children?

$1T is about equal to Saudi Arabia’s annual GDP.

This is what the Trump admin does: announce some massive, unworkable foreign investment—no details, no timeline.

Foreign leaders know that Trump prioritizes talking points for himself over actual benefits for the American people.

Let me get this straight: The Trump admin. is taking in billions of dollars from tariffs—which are paid for by Americans in the form of higher prices—and are now talking about giving the money back, but people shouldn’t spend it?

What is the point of all this?

During the Biden Administration, the Department of Justice was investigating Epstein’s co-conspirators.

Trump’s DOJ killed the investigation.

The victims are now demanding justice by releasing the files. Trump has tried to kill that too.

What is the Trump Administration hiding?

Trump’s “concept of a plan" is to give money directly to Americans for health care—without the ACA protections that have enabled more than 20 million Americans to afford high-quality insurance.

The likely result would be increased costs for those most in need of care.
November 18, 2025 at 6:09 PM
After nearly a year in office, what is the Trump Administration’s message to Americans facing high costs?

Better luck next year.
November 18, 2025 at 12:11 AM
The Trump administration is trying to convince you that they are lowering food costs by removing the tariffs that increased prices in the first place.

Don’t believe their lies.
November 15, 2025 at 12:17 AM
Blame the former President, and try to convince Americans that costs are down, not up.

That’s Trump’s “strategy” to bring down prices.

When my hometown of Sumter, SC is mentioned, I need to set the record straight.

1. That plant was initiated under Biden, not Trump.
2. It's tied to EVs, which Trump calls a hoax.
3. Trump's "big, beautiful bill" will kill thousands of EV jobs.

Facts matter.
November 14, 2025 at 1:42 PM
Yes, there is a split screen.

Democrats who are fighting to lower health care costs.

And Republicans who refuse to do anything to address costs, and are in fact kicking millions of Americans off their health care.

The contrast really couldn’t be clearer.
November 13, 2025 at 10:30 PM
Trump put tariffs on things not grown in the U.S. (coffee, bananas, etc.), causing prices to go up.

Then they turn around and remove the tariffs and claim they are lowering prices.

Scott, the American people aren’t stupid.

Trump is sounding like a broken record. When is he going to stop lying?

Undocumented immigrants can’t receive health insurance subsidized by the federal
government. Plain and simple.
November 8, 2025 at 3:02 PM
This government shutdown is about 20 million Americans being faced with huge monthly premium increases or losing health care entirely.

That might be “nothing” to Republicans, but that’s definitely something to everyday people.
November 6, 2025 at 10:23 PM
Yesterday Trump said he’d violate court orders and continue holding SNAP benefits hostage, forcing Americans to go hungry.

Thankfully, members of his own administration ignored his rant and are issuing partial payments as directed by courts.

Trump is out of control.
November 6, 2025 at 12:15 AM
Does anyone feel like their wages are rising at record pace while their energy and grocery bills are coming down?
October 30, 2025 at 2:19 PM
Rosa is right. The Trump administration is saying it lacks authority to use the SNAP contingency fund for November benefits.

Not true. They’re illegally withholding the funds to put further pain on Americans during the shutdown.

They have the money, but refuse to use it.
October 28, 2025 at 10:35 PM
The SNAP crisis could actually be resolved if the White House would stop illegally refusing to use a reserve fund to continue SNAP payments.

If Americans lose their SNAP benefits, it’s because Trump wanted them to.
October 28, 2025 at 8:48 PM
I get a real chuckle out of Republicans saying year after year they are coming up with a health care plan, but never actually showing us what it is.
Republicans gutted Medicaid. Now they want to gut the ACA too. That’s their health care plan.
October 28, 2025 at 7:48 PM
He then pardoned a crypto company founder convicted of enabling crimes tied to terrorist groups and child exploitation, after the company helped boost Trump’s own cryptocurrency.

Refused to meet with Democrats to end the government shutdown and save health care.
October 25, 2025 at 1:43 PM
Let’s recap Trump’s week:

Demolished the East Wing of the White House—without any Congressional approval—to make room for a $300 million ballroom funded by wealthy donors.
October 25, 2025 at 1:43 PM
Senate Democrats introduced two bills that would have paid ALL federal workers, from military and law enforcement to Social Security workers.

Republicans blocked both of them.
October 24, 2025 at 8:29 PM
The cornerstone of Obamacare is the subsidies—the tax credits that help Americans afford health insurance.

They are precisely why the law works so well for 20 million Americans.

This incoherent question is just Jim Jordan trying to wrestle away Americans’ health care.
October 24, 2025 at 7:41 PM
The White House (or what’s left of it) is working hard to persuade the American people that Trump’s $300m ballroom is a great idea, and spending zero time trying to save Americans’ health care premiums from skyrocketing.
October 24, 2025 at 2:03 PM
Give me a break.

Republicans’ “big beautiful bill” strips Medicaid from 7.5million and weakens the ACA to cut care for millions of others. The cuts were so drastic they had to include funds to try to keep hospitals from closing.

Now they want to cut the ACA even more.
