Republicans have already created the worst healthcare crisis ever, but every decision by the Trump Administration is designed to keep making it worse. As if making coverage harder to access through skyrocketing premiums and more red tape wasn't painful enough, they're doubling down to take it away entirely.

House Democrats are rock solid in our support for Ukraine, but the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia And Iran Act would do more harm than good. … [It would] dramatically expand presidential tariff authorities while failing to mandate sanctions on Russia. … [These flaws would] raise Americans’ prices while undermining support for Ukraine in the long term.
