Official Twitter of the House Energy & Commerce Committee Democrats. Led by Ranking Member @FrankPallone.
Congressional Republicans claimed they didn't want to "take coverage away from children" during debate on the Big Ugly Bill. Now Trump is ripping health care away from our youngest neighbors. I will intro a bill next week to keep these kids covered despite Trump's heartless and…
👀In the name of “protecting vulnerable Americans” the Trump Administration will rip away Medicaid coverage from babies and toddlers👀 CMS announces Medicaid demos that 8 states are implementing to cover babies and young children continuously w/o gaps will no longer be allowed
In today’s Energy Subcommittee hearing, I reiterated concerns raised by communities across Virginia about the Mountain Valley Pipeline and joined @EnergyCommerce Democrats to call for the federal pipeline safety program to have the workforce and resources it needs to keep our…
The Trump Administration has been skirting pipeline safety protections, choosing when to enforce the law and when to let polluters off the hook. Enough is enough. Today in @EnergyCommerce I’m pushing for accountability and a return to a system that puts pipeline safety first.
.@EnergyCommerce is holding an oversight hearing on our nation's organ donation system today. We owe it to everyone involved to make sure this system is working smoothly and that there is respect for donors and their families throughout the process.
The Republican budget will decimate our healthcare system here in Washington. Hundreds of thousands of Washingtonians will lose their health care, and rural hospitals will be forced to close down – all just to give billionaires a big tax cut. kuow.org/stories/trump-…
Just like Republicans promised for months to release the Epstein files? Yeah, we’re sensing a pattern.
Breaking News: The EPA said it would eliminate its scientific research arm and begin firing hundreds of scientists, after denying that it intended to do so. nyti.ms/4500xIU
It appears CBS’s parent company Paramount will do anything to please Trump. Stephen Colbert’s #1 rated late-night show was canceled yesterday, three days after he called out Paramount for its settlement with Trump. It’s disgraceful!
Again, in the dead of night, Republicans voted to cut $1.1 billion in funding for public radio and television broadcasting. This is an attack on the over 1500 local stations nationwide—and the millions of Americans who rely on them—all to satisfy President Trump’s obsession with…
“I asked ChatGPT” “I asked grok” Well I asked Republicans what they plan to do to make life better for people and they said defund Sesame Street
Republicans love talking a big game about protecting drug and medical innovation. Yet where is their outrage as @USCBO estimates that 53 FEWER NEW CURES will be approved because of Trump’s devastating cuts to @US_FDA and @NIH?
CBO provides information about how changes to funding for the National Institutes of Health and changes in the Food and Drug Administration's review times would affect the development of new drugs. cbo.gov/publication/61…
Republicans chose to make tax breaks for the rich permanent, but let health care premiums soar for the middle class🤔🤔
People who get health insurance through the Affordable Care Act could soon see their monthly premiums sharply increase as subsidies expire and insurers propose a major premium hike for 2026. nbcnews.com/health/health-…
Public broadcasting isn’t just Big Bird and Sesame Street – it’s how families in Massachusetts and across the country get lifesaving emergency alerts, stay connected to their communities, and access trusted, educational programming. Slashing support for public radio and…
1.6 million veterans—and counting—rely on Medicaid. They’re caught in the crosshairs of Trump's Big Ugly Law, too. Republicans’ $1 trillion in health care cuts will be devastating for those who served our country. kff.org/medicaid/issue…
Public TV and radio matter — especially in our small communities. We’re fighting to protect them.

Republicans passed Medicaid paperwork requirements just so they could cut billionaires' taxes. They knew exactly what the consequences would be.
The Medicaid cuts in President Trump’s domestic policy bill could result in more than 1,000 additional deaths every year, according to a newly published report in JAMA Health Forum. nbcnews.com/health/health-…
The Medicaid work requirement “will saddle taxpayers with billions of dollars of new costs and low-income Americans with hundreds of millions of hours of busywork,” @AnnieLowrey argues. An estimated 50,000 people will die each year—many thanks to red tape: theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
