I was proud to join my Democratic colleagues in Chicago this morning for a #NationalDayofAction rally to demand a vote on legislation to address gun violence. Following our 26 hour sit-in on the House Floor, House Democrats will continue to call for a vote on commonsense bills to prevent those on the terror watch list from buying guns and to expand background checks. #DisarmHate

VIDEO: Today I spoke on the House Floor in opposition to a permanent, unpaid-for tax extenders package. This package will raise deficits by approximately $622 billion over the next ten years, undercut investments in priorities that grow jobs and opportunity, and undermine our ability to achieve comprehensive tax reform. Instead, we should vote on a straight-forward, two-year extension and then commit ourselves to a meaningful tax reform. http://bit.ly/1maGv6S

Today’s report by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office underscores why so many Americans from across the political spectrum are outraged by Republican plans to move forward with a repeal of the Affordable Care Act without a workable replacement. The report finds that monthly premiums for Americans in the individual market would increase by at least 20% in the first year and double by 2026 – and that 32 million Americans would lose their insurance coverage by 2026, including 18 million in the first year of repeal alone. http://bit.ly/2jGoc9A
I was honored to join constituents throughout the Fifth District today to celebrate the enduring legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. As we honor Dr. King, let us rededicate ourselves to the important work he and so many of our civil rights leaders, such as my dear friend Rep. John Lewis, championed for our nation. Let us continue the work of Dr. King to ensure all Americans have a voice in our democracy. http://bit.ly/2j1BVHy
This year, as we celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., we reflect on his legacy and his commitment to nonviolence in the ceaseless pursuit of justice and opportunity for all. May Dr. King’s memory serve as a blessing and inspiration to us all to live our lives as instruments of the progress and change we need in our time, so that we can leave our children and grandchildren a more perfect union on which to build in their own. http://bit.ly/2jFkvjV
This afternoon, I sent a letter to Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, urging him and his colleagues in the Republican leadership to ensure that any legislative efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act take place within regular order and in a fully transparent process, complete with public committee hearings, markups, and CBO scoring. Read the letter here: http://bit.ly/2iQQBJk
Instead of launching a partisan retaliatory attack against our government’s nonpartisan ethics watchdog, Republicans in Congress ought to be insisting that the President-Elect abide by the highest standards of ethics and take steps to prevent conflicts of interest from casting a dark cloud over his presidency. http://bit.ly/2jgLSDQ

WATCH: Today, I joined MSNBC ahead of House Republicans’ vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act without offering a replacement. After voting to repeal the ACA 65 times, Republicans still don’t have an alternative. Their effort to repeal the law without a replacement will affect 30 million Americans who will lose coverage and millions more who will see costs increase. http://bit.ly/2jMkQFs

For the 150 million Americans who have employer-based insurance coverage, repealing the Affordable Care Act without a replacement will increase health care costs by ending requirements that insurance companies provide preventive care services, wellness visits, contraception, and vaccines without copays. http://bit.ly/2ihW3c0
