Congressman Hurd will tell you that he’s an against-the-grain politician. But take one look at his record on immigration and it’s clear that’s just empty rhetoric to cover up the truth: he’s in lockstep with Washington Republicans working against fixing our broken immigration system. Take DACA for example: Hurd voted to end protections against deportations […]

Not only did Republicans just announce an amendment to their destructive healthcare repeal bill that will allow health insurance companies to charge higher premiums on people with pre-existing conditions, but they named it after its architect: Representative Tom MacArthur. Make no mistake: the MacArthur Amendment breaks years of Republican promises—including those from MacArthur himself—that any […]

Vulnerable Rep. Jason Lewis is full of excuses when it comes to his refusal to hold a live town hall meeting in Minnesota’s 2nd Congressional District. Lewis, who has pledged to hold an in-person town hall for months, just wrapped up a two-week recess break without making good on his promise. Instead, he had more […]

This is not how Rep. Andy Barr wanted his town hall to go last night. But with his “adamant” support for the Republican health care repeal bill in the spotlight, Barr should not have been surprised.

NBC: “The Affordable Care Act is now more popular than it was throughout Obama’s presidency, and support for a complete elimination of the law remains at its lowest.” In case you missed it, two recent national polls have put an exclamation point on the political disaster that awaits Republicans as they pursue another attempted repeal. […]

In case you missed it, House Republicans are desperate to strike a morally bankrupt deal to pass a new repeal bill – but this time they are going to essentially throw out protections for people with pre-existing conditions by pricing them out of the market. Nearly every House Republican has guaranteed that any ACA replacement […]

**Similar releases went to Republican districts across the country** The reckless House Republican healthcare repeal bill that failed last month in the House of Representatives is back and Republicans have managed to make it worse by effectively eliminating protections for Americans with preexisting conditions. In Pennsylvania’s 7th Congressional District, 300,600 residents have a pre-existing condition. […]

With zero achievements to speak of after the first few months of Republican-controlled Washington, vulnerable House Republicans limped home to widespread backlash over their attempted repeal of the Affordable Care Act.
