Today, a radical, Republican-appointed federal judge ruled that employers can deny coverage for PrEP: a drug proven to save lives from HIV/AIDS and a key strategy for ending the epidemic.
This disturbing decision amounts to open homophobia: unleashing unthinkable suffering and death specifically among the LGBTQ community.
This decision also threatens vital preventative health services guaranteed under the Affordable Care Act, including birth control, vaccinations and routine health screenings.
This extreme MAGA ruling comes just months after the Republican-controlled Supreme Court discarded precedent and privacy in overturning Roe v. Wade.
Since then, House Republicans have plotted an unhinged, dangerous campaign to punish our most personal decisions, from abortion care to birth control and more.
With the GOP’s utter disdain for our health, safety and freedom, it is only a matter of time that another drug, treatment, vaccine or health service becomes the next target of their extremism.
As extreme MAGA Republicans work to rip away life-saving drugs, Democrats are fiercely defending health freedom, protecting access to health care and lowering the cost of prescription drugs.  Every day, Democrats are putting #PeopleOverPolitics. speaker.gov/newsroom/9722

On #LaborDay, our nation honors the skill, devotion and solidarity of the hard-working Americans who make up the heart of our economy and the foundation of our country’s strength. Image
This year, while marking the transformative achievements of America’s labor movement throughout our history, we celebrate an organizing wave that is reaching workplaces across the nation – from coffee shops and warehouses to newsrooms and ballparks.
.@POTUS and Congressional Democrats are proud to fight alongside a burgeoning labor movement as we put #PeopleOverPolitics.

Because we know that the middle class is the backbone of our Democracy – and the middle class has a union label on it.

The August jobs numbers show that America is continuing its strong & steady job growth. Under @POTUS, our nation has powered record-setting job creation: helping millions get back to work, while empowering Americans to get off the sidelines & rejoin the workforce.
This robust and ongoing jobs recovery was sparked by Democrats’ American Rescue Plan and furthered by our Infrastructure Law. Now, we are building on this momentum to lower kitchen table costs and create more opportunities for our workers.
Our CHIPS & Science Act will create good-paying jobs in American semiconductor manufacturing & technological innovation. Our #InflationReductionAct will deliver 9 million new jobs in clean energy, while slashing prescription drug costs for seniors & energy bills for families.

Tonight, @POTUS Biden, in his inspiring and optimistic remarks, made crystal clear that our rights, our freedom and our Democracy are on the line.
Every American who cares about the integrity of our Democracy, the fairness of our economy, the safety of our communities and the health of our planet is grateful to the President for his values-based vision and patriotic leadership.
Extreme MAGA Republicans are orchestrating a sinister campaign. By criminalizing women's health care, ending Social Security & Medicare & undermining our elections, the GOP is working to turn back the clock on fundamental liberties while fanning the flames of violence & division.

The Energy and Commerce Committee is to be commended for its work on federal data privacy legislation.  Importantly, Democrats won the right for consumers for the first time to be able to seek damages in court for violations of their privacy rights.
However, Governor Newsom, the California Privacy Protection Agency and top state leaders have pointed out the American Data Privacy and Protection Act does not guarantee the same essential consumer protections as California’s existing privacy laws.
Proudly, California leads the nation not only in innovation, but also in consumer protection.  With so much innovation happening in our state, it is imperative that California continues offering and enforcing the nation’s strongest privacy rights.

Today, the American people mark the 102nd anniversary of the 19th Amendment: a hard-won victory secured by generations of women bravely fighting to build a more perfect union.
In winning the right to vote more than a century ago, trailblazing suffragists tore down a seemingly immovable barrier to women’s full and equal citizenship in our Democracy.
Too often unsung in the American story, courageous women of color continued advancing that struggle for decades after – moving us ever closer to realizing our founding promise of liberty and justice for all.

.@POTUS’ bold action is a strong step in Democrats’ fight to expand access to higher education.

By delivering historic targeted student debt relief to millions of borrowers, more working families will be able to meet their kitchen table needs as they recover from the pandemic.
This action will help those most in need, easing a financial burden disproportionately harming women and people of color.

Guided by @POTUS' commitment to justice and equity, Democrats are opening the gates of higher education for those who have long been left behind.
Our American Rescue Plan invested nearly $40 billion in colleges and universities – with substantial funding for Minority Serving Institutions.

Democrats secured a $400 increase in the maximum Pell Grant, and our CHIPS & Science Act is widening the pathway to a STEM education.
