You can't talk about the cost of living without talking about healthcare. @kellymorrisonmn.bsky.social explains how Republicans are trying to make it harder for Americans to get the care they need, and what New Dems are doing to lower costs and expand access to healthcare.

Nobody should have to worry that their next trip to the hospital might mean they can't afford to keep a roof over their head. That's why New Dems released our Affordability Agenda: to put forward a real plan for how we can lower healthcare costs.

Happy birthday to the U.S. Coast Guard! For 236 years, they have answered every call and are the first ones to head into the storm. New Dems are grateful for the important work the Coast Guard does every single day to keep all Americans safe.

It is absolutely unacceptable that Secretary Hegseth removed the names of four fallen U.S. service members from the official casualty list for the Iran War. New Dems—led by Reps. Marilyn Strickland & Pat Ryan—are demanding that their names be immediately restored.

Healthcare costs keep rising, and the only thing Republicans are doing is making it worse. New Dems actually want to tackle the problem. Read our Affordability Agenda, a comprehensive plan for how we can lower healthcare costs: newdemocratcoalition.house.gov/imo/media/do...

It's the first week of the August recess, and New Dems are already busy meeting with constituents back in their districts. Check out what some of our members have been up to this week!

Every trip to the pump is costing families more because of Trump's war in Iran. New Dems are focused on what matters most: lowering costs and making life more affordable for working families.

In 1965, Medicare and Medicaid transformed healthcare by ensuring millions of Americans could get the care they needed, regardless of cost. It's time to extend that same promise to every American – whether through my bill, the Choose Medicare Act or Medicare for All.

#OTD in 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Medicare and Medicaid Act into law.   Today, these vital safety net programs are under attack.     I will continue fighting to protect and strengthen Medicare and Medicaid because every American deserves access to affordable, quality health care.

61 years ago today, Medicare & Medicaid were signed into law, expanding access to health care for millions. Despite promises to protect Medicare, Trump & Republicans cut nearly $1 trillion from Medicaid, kicking 10 million Americans off the program while funding tax breaks for his wealthy friends.

Medicare and Medicaid were signed into law on this day in 1965. For 61 years, they’ve helped millions get essential care. But now these protections are under attack. Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill enacted the largest cuts to healthcare in U.S. history. (1/2)

For over half a century, Medicare and Medicaid have ensured that Americans can live with dignity and get the care they need. While some in Washington want to take that dignity away, I will keep leading the fight to protect health care for every American.

61 years ago today, Medicare and Medicaid became law. While Republicans are cutting health care for millions of Americans, New Dems are fighting to protect these programs and ensure every American has access to affordable, quality care.

Gas and grocery prices aren't rising by accident. Trump and Congressional Republicans are making them more expensive through tariffs, a costly war in Iran, and historic SNAP cuts. Read more on the New Dem Dispatch, link in bio.

152 days of lies. 18 Americans dead. More than 600 wounded. That's not winning.

Too many Americans are struggling to afford groceries, but Republicans keep pushing policies that raise costs. New Dems are focused on lowering prices and delivering real relief for working families.

This week marks the beginning of the August district work period—a time for members to be in their districts, talking to constituents and working on their behalf. New Dems share what they are looking forward to most this month...and what they'll miss least about DC.

The cost of gas, groceries, and everyday good continues to rise, and Trump & Congressional Republicans continue to ignore the problem or make it worse. @houlahan.house.gov & @repgregstanton.bsky.social explain what they've been hearing and what New Dems are doing to bring down costs.

Innocent children don’t belong in prison. We must #ShutDownDilley and end family detention.

Trump’s war with Iran is adding over $1,200 to household expenses, including at the gas pump and grocery store. Working Americans shouldn’t have to pay the price for this reckless war. While Republicans push policies that will raise costs, New Dems are fighting to lower them.

Americans are tired of rising costs and chaos. New Dems have a plan to drive down the cost of groceries, gas, housing, and more for families who need it most. Read more about our plan to lower costs 👇 newdemocratcoalition.house.gov/imo/media/doc/new_dem_affordability_agenda.pdf

Earlier this week, the Pentagon removed the names of four servicemembers killed in the Iran war from its official casualty list. Their families deserve the truth—not political coverups. Attempts to erase their sacrifice are unacceptable. Statement from New Dem Chair @repschneider.bsky.social.

Another busy week of New Dems working for the American people! Here's what they were up to on Capitol Hill. ⬇️

How well does @repgreglandsman.bsky.social know The Fly-In? From Beyoncé and Whitney Houston to crab feasts and Classic Concentration, he puts his knowledge of past guests to the test on the latest episode—available now wherever you get your podcasts.

Yesterday, House Republicans passed their latest partisan budget proposal, which includes over $70 billion for Trump's war in Iran but NOTHING for healthcare. How does this help working families?

Yeah Trump's negotiations are going REALLY well...

House Republicans are playing politics with the traditionally nonpartisan NDAA and jeopardizing national security in the process. Statement by @repschneider.bsky.social and @cisneros.house.gov.

House Republicans want to spend billions more on Trump's failed war while families struggle to afford gas, groceries, and health care. New Dems are fighting to lower costs—not bankroll another reckless spending spree. Read the statement from New Dem Leadership.

As another government funding showdown looms, House Republicans are doubling down on Trump's agenda instead of negotiating in good faith. @repgreglandsman.bsky.social explains what's at stake on the latest episode of The Fly-In, available now.
