Trump’s Big Ugly BIll cut health care by $1 trillion — the largest cut in American history. The impacts are already being felt — millions losing coverage, premiums skyrocketing, and hospitals closing all across the nation.

Four weeks before the midterm elections, Trump has his FCC puppet geared up to unleash political, AI-generated robocalls on you and your neighbors. They are desperate. apnews.com/article/fcc-...

Some bad ideas don't die; they just go into hibernation. RFK Jr.'s CDC is resurrecting a vaccine trial that experts condemned as unethical and unnecessary, while raiding global health funds to pay for it.

The No Surprises Act put an end to a medical billing nightmare for Americans, but private equity-backed bad actors are taking advantage of the system and driving up your premiums. Ranking Member @pallone.house.gov's new bill fixes that.

Federal methane regulations protect public health, curb the climate crisis, create jobs, & bolster national energy security. Repealing them makes it easier for fossil fuel companies to prioritize profits over health & safety. It's a step in entirely the wrong direction, at exactly the wrong moment.

President Trump is living in a bubble. People have real concerns about what data centers could do to their communities. We need federal guardrails that make sure people are heard and they are not forced to foot the bill for these projects.

Surprise medical billing was a nightmare for Americans. The No Surprises Act ended those surprises, but now a handful of bad actors are exploiting the law to make huge profits and drive up your premiums. RM @pallone.house.gov sat down with @cbsmornings.bsky.social to discuss his plan to fix it.

Trump’s agenda not only means higher health care costs, but also air pollution that could cause up to 37,000 additional premature deaths. His policies aren’t just hurting your wallet, they’re costing you your health too.

Donald Trump and House Republicans promised to lower costs on day one. Instead, they gave their billionaire friends tax cuts and left working families to pick up the tab. So when Americans feel pessimistic about the economy, they have every reason to ask: Who is this economy actually working for?

From a new ballroom to the Kennedy Center to the reflecting pool, Trump's vanity projects are expected to cost over $1.8 billion. That's more than it would cost to cover a month of groceries or electricity for every San Diego household. Affordability was never a priority for him, and this is proof.
