This week, Democrats celebrated 12 years of the Affordable Care Act, which provided access to affordable health care to those who need it. Meanwhile, Republicans are pushing their agenda to gut coverage and make health care more expensive.

Here's your #WeeklyStatesRoundup 🧵:
Republican Senator @RonJohnsonWI has called to repeal the ACA and take health care away from his constituents, but Democrats in Wisconsin are prepared to keep fighting to protect their health care.

This week, they took the fight to his office.

If Republicans take control, there’s a chance they could try to take affordable health care away from millions of people.

Democrats and President Biden will protect your health care and continue working to lower the price of prescription drugs.

The Affordable Care Act has helped women and folks with preexisting conditions across the country afford to see a doctor and get the care they need.
The answer: yes.

If Republicans were to repeal the Affordable Care Act, over 900,000 Pennsylvanians could be at risk of losing their health care. We cannot, and will not, let this happen.

The ACA has helped real people.

Meet Gene, diagnosed with terminal cancer and a heart condition, who thanks the Affordable Care Act for receiving lifesaving insurance.

Why have some Republicans called to take it away?

Today’s jobs report makes it clear: President Biden’s economic plan is working. The economy is booming, and continues to exceed expectations. 🧵
Thanks to the work of Democrats who passed the American Rescue Plan, got millions of Americans vaccinated, and tackled supply chain bottlenecks, the economy has created a record 6.6 million jobs in 12 months.
2021 was the greatest year of job creation under any president in history.

While Republican lawmakers do everything they can to prolong the pandemic, the Biden-Harris administration is rolling up its sleeves and putting in the work to put this pandemic behind us.

Throughout Black History Month and all year long, Democrats celebrate the contributions of Black Americans past and present. 🧵
Both our party and our nation have come so far standing on the shoulders of giants like Fannie Lou Hamer, Jesse Jackson, and Shirley Chisholm, who paved a path for the historic leadership of President Barack Obama and Vice President Kamala Harris.
From the fight for equal rights in order to bend the long arc of the moral universe towards justice to pushing back against modern day Republican anti-voter efforts, Democrats are committed to showing up.

We stand up, and we don’t back down.

My grandpa used to say “if you aren’t man or woman enough to put your name on it & your reputation behind it , then it ain’t worth being said or done.” There is a lot of unnamed bullshit in politics, but no one can ever say that I don’t work my ass off for what I believe in.
I started working at 15 to pay for my own school clothes & help pay bills. Worked throughout college & worked FT on Capitol Hill while getting my degree at Georgetown Law. Worked my way up Capitol Hill as a top staffer, state party chair & now DNC chair.Working hard is in my dna.
I took a race for the senate where no one gave me a shot & turned it into one of the most exciting races last cycles. Started with 100 email addresses and $0, I out-raised & out debated a 20+ year incumbent Senator. Had him begging, crying & gave him the fight of his damn life!

Today, we honor the six million Jews who alongside millions of others—Roma and Sinti, Slavs, disabled persons, LGBTQ+ individuals, and others—were targeted and murdered by the Nazis during the Holocaust. 🧵
It is the memory of these millions of people that remind us we can never be silent in the face of antisemitism and that we must unite to create a country and a world free of bigotry and hatred.
In the face of brazen antisemitic attacks and as we continue to support communities in Texas affected by the hostage crisis at Congregation Beth Israel, Democrats know that we must fight hatred and discrimination wherever they appear and end dehumanizing rhetoric.

For the past 49 years, Roe v. Wade has ensured that every person has a right to safe and legal abortion. Unfortunately, Republicans have undertaken an effort to assure Roe’s legal precedent is dismantled to put abortion access at greater risk than ever before 🧵
We cannot let abortion restrictions, which exacerbate existing health care inequalities for communities of color, go unchallenged. With relentless attacks on access to abortion, the urgency of protecting abortion access by codifying Roe has never been greater.
We commend House Democrats for passing Congresswoman Judy Chu’s Women’s Health Protection Act and commend the president for leading a whole-of-government effort to resist further incursions upon reproductive freedom.

Today, we learned that thanks to President Biden and Democrats’ leadership the economy added over 6.4 million jobs in 2021—the most in a single year—and unemployment is now below 4%, the lowest of the pandemic. 🧵
This is another reminder that President Biden’s economic plan is working. Wages are up, everyone who wants a job can get one, and one of the fastest economic recoveries in history continues to power ahead.
Over the last few weeks alone, the Biden-Harris administration has taken significant steps to drive down the price of food, dramatically ease supply chain bottlenecks, and ensure Americans can safely celebrate the holiday season.
