All you've done for the last 15 years is try to repeal, defund, deauthorize, and dismantle the Affordable Care Act with no alternative. No alternative. Give me a damn break.

Mike Johnson: "Let me look right into the camera and tell you very clearly: Republicans are the ones concerned about healthcare. Republicans are the party working around the clock everyday to fix healthcare. This is not talking points for us: we've done it."

This is the merger that would put TikTok, CNN, and CBS under the control of one mega business and force prices up, wages down, and people to lose their jobs. But Paramount’s CEO David Ellison has been wining and dining Trump and his cronies so of course the DOJ approves it.

Today, Elon Musk became the world’s first trillionaire.  It's a ridiculous amount of money for one person to be sitting on and comes as countless Americans are struggling to afford food, housing, and health care. We need to tax wealth – immediately.

This is yet another step in the Trump admin's campaign to silence dissent in our country. Mohsen Mahdawi is a lawful permanent resident whose constitutional rights must be protected.  This is why I stood with @RepDeborahRoss to introduce the Land of the Free Act - the

We've got fewer choices, we've got higher costs. We’ve got services that used to be free, and now they all come with a fee.  It’s time for Congress to get serious about antitrust enforcement and come in clutch for sports fans in Vermont and across the country.

I want to talk about the bombshell reporting in the New York Times about the Trump admin’s coverup of the Epstein files. They met in the situation room - not to address a national security issue but to do all they could to ensure Trump and his friends don’t face the

Americans have been clear. They want states to be running their elections, and they want guardrails on ICE. Yet again, we have the president and his Republican allies in Congress not listening to the American people.

This problem is only going to get worse as AI becomes more powerful and more widely used. Congress needs to address AI and how it can be used to sway our elections. We should start with passing the NO FAKES Act.

A political opponent recently posted a deepfake video of me on social media. It was generated using AI and fabricated my voice and image to put words in my mouth. While it represents a new - and dangerous - low, it was not unpredictable. It just drives home why we need to act

Today, I led the @HouseDemocrats in wearing orange to honor Hadiya Pendleton and every life stolen by gun violence. Orange was Hadiya's favorite color, and now, it's a bright beacon for gun violence awareness. We owe survivors more than thoughts & prayers. We owe them action.

It’s abundantly clear by this point that Trump lives in a golden bubble.  He only watches his favorite cable news shows, his team tells him what he wants to hear, he has more money than he knows what to do with, and he certainly isn’t speaking with everyday Americans. There's

Pursuing a more progressive tax system is a start, but it’s not the end when it comes to ensuring the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share. We need to be taxing wealth.

DWC member @RepBeccaB is an incredible advocate for her community and for women and families across the community. Videos like the one posted about her are deceptive, confusing, and dangerous. We need transparency and accountability around when AI is used in political

The accusations against the @splcenter are absurd. This THIRD hearing on the topic was clearly part of a broader effort built on a pathetic, blind loyalty to Donald Trump.
