After months of Trump’s disastrous trade wars and self-serving tax policies, American families are already paying more – from the grocery store to the gas pump to the pharmacy. This shutdown is only making things worse.

Economists are sounding the alarm that this shutdown will have particularly damaging effects on an already fragile economy.
Under Trump and the Republican majority, we’ve hit the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. It’s jeopardizing food assistance, halting critical services, and threatening access to affordable health care for millions of Americans — all while draining $15 billion from our economy every week.
It’s Day 36 of the Republican shutdown — and the so-called party of “fiscal responsibility” is bleeding our economy dry.

42 M Americans — including 1.2M veterans — stopped receiving SNAP benefits. Trump has the ability to fully fund and issue all SNAP checks, which he was court-ordered to do. Trump chooses not to. Hunger shouldn’t be a political weapon. Veterans and families are not pawns.
No matter how you vote, your participation strengthens our democracy – and our county election officials make sure every vote is counted and every voice is heard.
Whether it’s by mail, through a drop box, or at a voting center, your vote counts because of the professionalism and commitment of Ventura County’s election staff to maintaining fair and free elections.
She gave me a behind-the-scenes look at how ballots are processed, verified, and counted in this special election. Her dedicated team works tirelessly to uphold the highest standards of accuracy, transparency, and security in every election.
Ahead of today’s deadline to vote on Prop. 50, I met with Michelle Ascencion, Ventura County’s Clerk-Recorder and Registrar of Voters.
As this shutdown drags on, I urge this administration and Congressional Republicans to end their politics of inaction, call the House back, and join Democrats in passing legislation to protect health care, food assistance, and early education programs that millions of families depend on every day.
Letting Head Start programs close is not just cruel – it’s shortsighted and shameful.
It gives low-income kids the chance to start school healthy, nourished, and ready to learn, and it gives parents the peace of mind to work, provide, and build a better future for their families. Nationwide, more than 830,000 children rely on Head Start.
Head Start is one of the most successful and transformative investments our nation has ever made in children.
In fact, some Head Start programs announced they’re closing their doors because federal grant payments they rely upon for operations did not arrive on time. These Head Start closures are leaving working parents without child care and our youngest learners without the early education they deserve.
It’s Day 35 of the Republican shutdown – and Donald Trump is on track to surpass his own record for the longest government shutdown in U.S. history.
Across the country, the impact of the shutdown is hurting working families and children.
That’s why I introduced the Same Day Registration Act to ensure every eligible voter in every state has the same opportunity — because every vote matters, and every voice deserves to be heard.
Same-day voter registration is one of the most effective ways to increase turnout, expand access to the ballot box, and make our democracy more responsive to the will of the people.
