Has President Trump delivered on his promise to lower costs for the American people? “No, he hasn’t.”

When Trump fails to fund science and attacks the civil servants who drive discovery and innovation – our brightest minds leave for better opportunities. That means medical cures and breakthrough technologies might never be discovered. Trump's brain drain hurts us all.

Everyday Americans continue to struggle with higher costs while Trump and his wealthy friends continue to benefit from backroom deals. It's a pay-to-play administration built to further enrich the well connected at the expense of everyone else.

ACA tax credits expire in less than 30 days and Republicans still won’t extend them. All my Democratic colleagues and I signed a discharge petition to force a vote and stop major health care cost hikes for millions of Americans. We just need 4 Republicans to join us.

Americans face an affordability crisis and are struggling with higher costs because of Trump’s tariff policies, but it doesn't have to be this way. Republicans should stand up to Trump and do something about it. No more excuses.

This afternoon, the House will be voting on legislation that fails to protect Americans from skyrocketing health care costs and the Trump Administration’s lawlessness. I will be voting NO. The American people deserve real solutions. This legislation fails to deliver that.

Voters in Virginia and across the country just sent a clear message.

Donald Trump and Republicans have repeatedly made life harder for the American people during this shutdown. They should try helping them instead, and work with Democrats to lower health care costs for millions of Americans. That's what the American people are asking for.

Donald Trump's refusal to fund SNAP is heartless. He thinks 42 million Americans don’t deserve to eat this November. But the law, his own shutdown guidance, and past practice dictate that USDA use contingency to cover regular benefits.

Don Beyer joins Jonathan Capehart, Eugene Daniels, and Jackie Alemany on the Weekend on MSNBC to discuss the ongoing government shutdown, Donald Trump's refusal to fund SNAP benefits, and the detrimental impacts on working families.

Democrats are willing to work to end this shutdown, fund SNAP, and get our government running again. This is my call to House Republicans – stop the vacation, let’s get back to work. Families with mouths to feed count on it.

Millions of American families stand to go hungry as federal workers miss paychecks and the Trump Administration refuses cover food stamp aid after Nov. 1. Democrats are ready to address this crisis. Donald Trump and Republicans need to do their job and negotiate a compromise.

When Donald Trump’s immigration agents storm homes, tear gas neighborhoods, and brutalize peaceful protestors, that’s not public safety – it’s authoritarianism. Congress must immediately act to rein in these tactics. This kind of state violence has no place in our country.

Keep an eye on the cost of your health insurance plan for next year. It’s Day 23 of the Republican Shutdown and Republicans still refuse to come back to work to make health insurance more affordable for Americans. They think that families won’t notice $10,000 in added costs.
