Planned Parenthood provides vital, trusted services to Americans. But Republicans are trying to defund it. How can they defend taking away cancer screenings, STI treatment, and birth control from people who often have no other healthcare options? I’ll tell you how. They can’t.

While Republicans work to slash health care for Americans with their budget proposal, I connected with Sara — the mom of Cameron, a 16-month old pediatric stroke survivor — to hear in her words the importance of Medicaid in caring for her son. #ProtectMedicaid

In defending Medicaid, the stakes couldn’t be higher for kids like Cameron, a 16-month-old pediatric stroke survivor and one of my constituents.

Republicans in Energy & Commerce Democrats passed a budget that rips healthcare away from Americans. But the fight isn't over. I won't stop pushing for my GOP colleagues to reverse course & protect Medicaid for people like Samantha—who has dealt with chronic health issues since she was 12.

I’ll keep fighting against Republican attempts to gut Medicaid for constituents like Rossiluz—who told me that Medicaid means her “peace of mind” and that, without that vital coverage for her family, “we wouldn’t make it.”

We just voted down the immoral, irresponsible, GOP budget betrayal in committee. Republicans couldn't agree on just how many vital services to rip away from Americans. While this is a win, the fight continues to pass a budget that truly meets the needs of our communities.

Republicans in our Budget Committee just tried to shove through Trump's 'Big, Beautiful' budget betrayal. They FAILED. I voted against this cruel proposal and will continue to stand against any budget that makes everyday, working Americans sicker, hungrier, and poorer.

House Republicans are pushing a cruel budget scheme that guts Medicaid to pay for more billionaire tax breaks. I shared stories from families in our Capital Region to show the real human cost of their plans. Read more in my latest newsletter: tonko.house.gov/news/email/sho…

Sending my thoughts and support for President Joe Biden and his family during this difficult time. Throughout his life, President Biden has shown true courage, character, and resilience in the face of great adversity. Praying for his swift recovery.

Late Sunday night, Republicans jammed their budget though committee that rips away healthcare and food assistance from millions. As they work under cover of dark to finalize these painful cuts—Democrats and I will be fighting them every step of the way.

I stand behind Congresswoman McIver 100%. These unprecedented accusations are a blatant attempt by this administration to distract and intimidate those attempting to hold them accountable. It won't work.

House Republicans are so ashamed of the GOP Tax Scam that they are planning a 1 AM committee meeting tonight to jam it through Congress.   In today's Democratic Daily Download, Rep. Jim McGovern breaks down what's in this ugly bill and what Democrats are doing to stop it.

Republicans are planning to meet in the dead of night to nail down just how much to slash from Medicaid, SNAP, and other programs that serve as a lifeline for working families. We won't let them get away with this. Not without a fight.

It was a true honor to serve alongside Congressman Connolly. As leaders together on the Sustainable Energy & Environment Coalition, he fought powerfully for cleaner air and water and to protect our nation’s environmental treasures. His light and leadership will be dearly missed.

In the House Rules Committee today, I offered two amendments to prevent Republicans' cruel Medicaid cuts from ripping away treatment for those struggling with addiction & to ensure the GOP's war against clean energy does not deny families cost savings on their energy bills.

At a time when Republicans are working to strip away healthcare from millions with their cruel budget, they are also trying to pass a resolution that gives polluters carte blanche to spew cancer causing toxins into our communities.

My statement on Republicans’ Big, Ugly Budget:

Horrified and heartbroken by the killing of two Israeli embassy officials last night. Antisemitism and violence in any and every form are unacceptable and must be rooted out. My heart goes out to the victims, families, and loved ones impacted by this tragic attack.

This week, I stood firmly against a cruel GOP budget that slashes food assistance programs, drives up energy costs, and guts health care to fund tax breaks for billionaires — and the fight isn’t over. Read more in my latest newsletter:  tonko.house.gov/news/email/sho…
