BREAKING: The House just passed the Inflation Reduction Act. After more than a year of negotiations and even longer campaigning on these issues, the Democratic majority is sending legislation to tackle climate action, tax fairness, and expand health care to the President’s desk.

In August, @POTUS cancelled up to $20,000 in student debt for 43 million people. On Tuesday, the Supreme Court will decide if this desperately needed relief can finally be delivered. This is a matter of economic and racial justice. The President's executive order must stand.

Reminder that Congress has never authorized deploying troops in Syria to protect their oil fields. This is dangerous and unconstitutional.

The CPC also ensured inclusion of the $15 minimum wage in the House plan. We remain extremely disappointed that the minimum wage bill was not included. The minimum wage remains essential policy and we must deliver on this issue.

Yemen was already the site of the worst humanitarian crisis in the world — 16M people on the brink of starvation. Now, with 30% of Yemen's wheat coming from Ukraine, we could see hunger increase 5x. Recent Saudi airstrikes have killed and injured 4x more civilians than in 2021.

And we're going to pay for it all by finally making the wealthy and corporations pay their fair share in taxes. These are the urgently needed, long-overdue investments for working families that we're fighting for. It's time to deliver.

The House Rules package just passed and it included big reforms to PAYGO, the Motion to Recommit & Truth in Testimony. For months, @USProgressives have worked to negotiate these changes so big ideas don’t get bogged down by procedural hurdles or harmful austerity measures.

Progressives understand our mandate in this governing moment: Deliver for working people, and leave no one behind. We've made important progress, but the work isn't done. Our communities need relief now. That's why today we're releasing our executive action agenda for @POTUS .

In recent weeks, the risk of nuclear war has increased, fighting escalated, and global economic insecurity deepened. Thousands of people are dead and tens of millions more impacted. Skyrocketing prices in wheat, fertilizer, and fuel are driving global hunger and poverty.
