America has a housing crisis, and we need to work to make sure everyone has a safe, affordable place to call home.
The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act would do just that.
By cutting red tape, we can lower costs for our communities.
America is in a full-blown housing crisis. For too long, the federal government has been asleep at the switch.
That changes today. x.com/i/broadcasts/1mxPaanQR…

The historic 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act will address our nation’s housing crisis by boosting housing supply, bringing down costs, and — for the first time ever — stopping private equity from buying up homes.
This bill will be the biggest housing bill in more than 30 years.
Let’s get it done.

No one should have to question how they’ll afford the care they need.
It's time for Republicans to come to the table and find bipartisan ways to rein in out-of-control healthcare costs.

Healthcare costs are projected to rise 9% in 2027, the most in nearly two decades.

DACA was created to help children of immigrants build a life in the only country they’ve ever known. 14 years later, and the attacks on their safety and stability persist.
To all the Dreamers, know that you belong here and we’ll never stop fighting for you.

Republicans CHOSE to let the ACA tax credits expire.
Republicans CHOSE to drive up costs and force families to drop insurance.
They chose tax cuts for giant corporations and billions for ICE over health care for American families.

Forcing our loved ones to take out loans to cover care is not a solution.
Health care costs are already too high and this proposal by the Trump administration will only set us further back.
Jun 11
The Trump administration is quietly moving to change the Affordable Care Act to let health insurers offer people loans to pay for their care.
Deep in a document over 1,000 pages long about how the Affordable Care Act market will operate next year, the administration suggests that insurers consider offering loans to cash-strapped customers.
Under this approach, people who develop a costly disease or need unexpected emergency care would turn to their health insurer for loans.
A third of American households already have medical debt, and this approach would mean even more debt that patients owe to their health insurance companies.
The insurers, who already make billions, would stand to make even more.

President Kennedy put a man on the moon. President Trump put a UFC fight on the White House lawn.
I think we have a different understanding of what “achieving the impossible” looks like.
Rubio: President Kennedy announced that we were going to put a man on the moon. We did it. We are a nation founded on doing what no one else dared to do. And at some level, that's what this whole company, what UFC has been

250 years ago, Delaware declared independence from both the British Crown and Pennsylvania. It also serves as a reminder that democracy has no kings. Excited to celebrate this historic day with my fellow Delawareans at the Separation Day Parade in New Castle.

Climate change doesn’t just have costs for the planet, it has costs for our families.
We must act now before it’s too late.
A new study finds that 67% of American voters said they think global warming is affecting the cost of living in the United States, while 64% said it is affecting their own cost of living

The role of Secretary of Health and Human Services is to advise on public health matters NOT further your own agenda.
Secretary Kennedy continues to prove he’s not in it for us. He’s in it to push his own misinformed policies.

250 years ago, our founders took a risk and I’m sure what we’ve built is beyond what they imagined.
I'm thrilled to be a part Netflix’s “The American Experiment,” and share our nation’s history at such a pivotal moment— I can’t wait for you to see it.

These are your tax dollars hard at work. Are you happy with how he's spending them?

The project ultimately took six weeks and cost more than $10 million, far more than Trump initially projected. wapo.st/4uspV4H

This is insane.
Last month, families saw the largest jump in prices since 2023, and Trump's only response is: "I love it."

You've been paying into Social Security your entire life.
You deserve the peace of mind of knowing it'll be there when you retire, but Republicans in Congress are standing in the way.
Social Security is on track to become insolvent by the end of 2032, putting benefits at risk of a 22% cut. cbsn.ws/4umfAHh

Regardless of how hard our communities work we can’t get ahead.
We need a leader committed to solving the problem but we’ve been left with one who just keeps making more.
