@housedemocrats.bsky.social are fighting to stop 15 million Americans from losing their health care, to lower premiums and costs, and to get the government back open.
The American people deserve leaders who show up — not ones who take vacations while working families suffer.

It’s Day 15 of the Republican government shutdown – and House Republicans have done nothing to reopen the government.
Republicans have delivered:
No paychecks.
No health care.
No leadership.
Donald Trump and Speaker Johnson would rather play politics than protect the American people.
Reposted byCongresswoman Julia Brownley
The Affordable Care Act tax credits help keep health care affordable, saving lives.
Democrats are fighting to permanently extend them, because you shouldn’t have to dread opening the mail knowing your premiums will go up.
Democrats are in Washington – ready to negotiate, ready to govern, and ready to deliver a fair, bipartisan deal for the American people. It’s time for Speaker Johnson to get serious about the real harm this shutdown is causing and call the House back into session now.
Now, their strategy is simple: keep the government closed and keep House Republicans on paid vacation for another week instead of taking responsibility for this chaos.
They had a strategy when they left town without taking action to prevent health care premiums for millions of Americans from rising exponentially.
Let’s be clear: Speaker Johnson and Congressional Republicans did have a strategy when they cut Medicaid for 15 million Americans to fund tax breaks for billionaires.
It’s Day 14 of the Republican government shutdown – and Speaker Mike Johnson admitted he has "no strategy" to reopen the government.
I will always fight for stronger federal investments in our food assistance networks, and I remain committed to ensuring #VenturaCounty families have access to the healthcare, nutrition, and resources they need and can count on.
That partnership between local organizations and federal resources is exactly what keeps communities like ours strong – and why protecting and expanding these investments is so critical.
I recently joined the incredible volunteers and staff at Meals on Wheels in the Simi Valley Senior Center to help prepare and deliver meals to seniors in our community. Programs like Meals on Wheels rely on federal funding to keep their doors open and their delivery routes running.
Republicans’ One Big Ugly Bill already gutted critical food assistance programs that help keep our communities fed. Now, their refusal to end this shutdown is inflicting even more harm on children, seniors, and families across the nation.
Regional food banks like Food Share Ventura County are stepping up to help, but even federal food assistance programs are beginning to run out of funds, putting more pressure on states and local communities.
As the Republican shutdown stretches on, its consequences are deepening – from families missing paychecks to growing food insecurity across the country.
This administration isn’t protecting the homeland – it’s putting it at greater risk.

The Trump administration’s reckless and cruel immigration campaign isn’t about safety. It’s about fear. It’s about scapegoating hardworking immigrants while undermining the very agencies tasked with keeping America safe.
And instead of focusing on real threats to our national security, Pam Bondi and Kash Patel are reassigning over 3,000 FBI agents to immigration enforcement – diverting resources away from critical priorities like counterterrorism, drug trafficking, and counterintelligence.
Immigrants with no criminal record are now the largest group in ICE detention.
On #IndigenousPeoplesDay and every day, we reaffirm our commitment to honoring, learning from, and supporting indigenous communities across the nation.
Here on California’s Central Coast, we are proud to be home to tens of thousands of Indigenous people, including the Chumash people, who have played an instrumental role in the stewardship of our lands and waters.
