The Build Back Better Framework lowers your bills for health care, child care, prescription drugs, and preschool. Plus, families get a tax cut.
That's how we’ll give people across our country some breathing room.
The wealthy don’t need another tax cut – the middle class does. It’s about time that working people get the tax cut they deserve. We need to reward work in this country – not just wealth.
Millionaires and billionaires are paying a lower tax rate than teachers and firefighters. We’re going to restore fairness to the tax code, give working people a much-needed tax cut, and make the investments that will grow our economy for years to come.

The Big Lie about the election is just that: a big lie.
Now, we must act to protect the future of our democracy.
Do we want to give the wealthiest people in America another tax cut? Or do we want to ask them to pay their fair share, so that we can build an economy that deals everyone in? I think we all know which is best for America’s future.
Gun violence is traumatizing an entire generation of children in this country. This is a crisis. History and future generations will judge us by how we meet this moment.
Today, the expanded #ChildTaxCredit begins providing an additional $250-300/month per child to working families.
Because of @POTUS and Democrats' American Rescue Plan, help is on the way.
It may feel like ~ deja vu ~ when we keep reminding people to #getvaccinated (and when @RepCasten makes dad jokes)...but getting your shot is the best thing you can do to protect yourself and your loved ones.
The #ChildTaxCredit is coming to working and low-income families on July 15.
House Democrats know these payments will help families:

We are committed to building better lives #ForThePeople.
