Last week's ACA ruling by an extreme right-wing judge would throw tens of millions of Americans off their health care. We cannot allow Republicans to eliminate health care protections and access for American families, including people with pre-existing conditions.

The last major #GOPShutdown in 2013 cost the American economy 120,000 jobs and $24 billion. Republicans need to recognize they lost election & stop trying to hold the nation hostage to their radical demands.

The Senate is expected to vote today to make Thomas Farr a federal judge in North Carolina. Who is Thomas Farr? For starters, he was a lawyer for then-Senator Jesse Helms’ campaign, where he defended the campaign in its efforts to disenfranchise African American voters.

House back in session today. Right-wing advance has been halted. Now we will fight to Lower Healthcare Costs, Increase Pay and GO ON OFFENSE #ForThePeople

My heart sinks as the death toll from the California wildfires continues to grow and homes continue to burn. To our friends on the West Coast, we are thinking of you and the federal government must be fully prepared to provide the relief these disaster survivors deserve.
