In your early 20s? You might not know that the Affordable Care Act is the reason you can stay on your parents’ health care plan until you’re 26. Before the ACA, health care companies could kick you off earlier – sometimes right after college.
It’s another reason why we need to… x.com/i/web/status/1…
I was humbled and excited to see my young self portrayed on screen by the incredible Christina Jackson in #Shirley.
I know young women will be inspired by Christina to continue to break barriers as Shirley Chisholm did. Because of her, I am. screenrant.com/barbara-lee-to…
House Democrats are working to put people over politics and move America forward.
Our colleagues across the aisle are doing the opposite.
My thoughts on @TheLastWord 👇🏾
When President Obama was elected in 2008, over 40 million Americans lacked health insurance.
Democrats passed the Affordable Care Act, the biggest healthcare expansion since Medicare.
14 years later, under @POTUS Biden, more than 21 million now have affordable ACA healthcare.
Under @POTUS, more Americans have health care coverage than any other president, and historic gains in coverage have been made in Black communities. The Affordable Care Act has helped to close disparity gaps and give more Black Americans the peace of mind that health care brings.

I wanted to share some of those stories with you and I hope you’ll share your story, too.
It is on Shirley Chisholm’s shoulders that the CBC has continued to fight to dismantle barriers, create opportunities, and make our country live up to its promise that we are all created equal. #ShirleyNetflix
Fourteen years ago today, I signed the Affordable Care Act into law.
Afterwards, one Republican member of the House called the ACA the “most dangerous piece of legislation ever passed in Congress.” Another predicted the country would “never recover from it.”
But then something… x.com/i/web/status/1…
Thanks to the #AffordableCareAct and the #InflationReductionAct, young people are finding that health care coverage is not out of reach, in fact many can find plans for as little as $10 a month – that’s less than a cup of coffee in some cases! #ACA14
We applaud @RepHorsford and @Senlaphonza for their leadership in introducing concurrent resolutions calling on Congress to support the Black Wealth for America Agenda.

Voting rights is the framework in which we get to fight for everything we care about—and I won’t stop pushing until we pass the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act & the Freedom to Vote Act.
Today, I honored the extraordinary career and legacy of fellow Ohioan, Delta soror, and former Congresswoman, @SecFudge, as she retires from her role as Secretary of the @HUDgov. To enjoy the full 5-minute video highlighting her amazing career click here: bit.ly/3vkDaMh
We will always protect a woman’s freedom to make her own reproductive healthcare decisions.
MAGA extremists are preparing to impose a national abortion ban.
They must be stopped.
I am back in Minnesota today for the sixth stop on my nationwide Fight For Reproductive Freedoms Tour.
@POTUS and I will never stop fighting to protect a woman’s ability to make decisions about her own body.
It's been four years since Louisville police killed Breonna Taylor.
We will never stop saying her name.
We will never stop fighting for a world free of police violence.
