We are now in the 13th hour of the government shutdown. Yet, as the shutdown continues, House Republicans remain on vacation and Speaker Johnson refuses to reconvene the House – all because they want to take away the health care of millions of American families.

Congresswoman Julia Brownley@juliabrownley.house.govOct 1(source)

Our focus must be on solutions that strengthen health care, lower costs, and put working families first.

Congresswoman Julia Brownley@juliabrownley.house.govOct 1(source)

We cannot allow extremists to thrust our economy into chaos, plunge millions of Americans into unemployment and poverty, and deprive children and our most vulnerable populations of vital services and resources.

Congresswoman Julia Brownley@juliabrownley.house.govOct 1(source)

I will continue doing everything possible to bring Congressional Republicans back to the negotiating table and reopen the federal government immediately.

Congresswoman Julia Brownley@juliabrownley.house.govOct 1(source)

House Democrats remain ready to negotiate a fair, bipartisan spending bill, but we will not compromise when it comes to protecting the healthcare of the American people and lowering everyday costs.

Congresswoman Julia Brownley@juliabrownley.house.govOct 1(source)

Yet the Republican majority has ignored every opportunity to address the healthcare crisis their "Big Beautiful Bill" created, opting instead to shut down the government.

Congresswoman Julia Brownley@juliabrownley.house.govOct 1(source)

Democrats have consistently offered a fair, bipartisan path forward: a spending plan that strengthens health care, invests in public health, and helps families make ends meet.

Congresswoman Julia Brownley@juliabrownley.house.govOct 1(source)

My Democratic colleagues and I will not be complicit in their failure.

Congresswoman Julia Brownley@juliabrownley.house.govOct 1(source)

This is a crisis of their own making, driven by political theater rather than concern for the health, safety, and security of the American people. Their actions are reckless, morally indefensible, and they put billionaires above the lives of working families.

Congresswoman Julia Brownley@juliabrownley.house.govOct 1(source)

Instead of negotiating with Democrats to find common ground, as Democrats have done when they held the majority, House Republicans have chosen to cancel votes, skip town, and shut down federal agencies.

Congresswoman Julia Brownley@juliabrownley.house.govOct 1(source)

Republicans control the House, Senate, and the White House – the three bodies necessary to fund the government.

Congresswoman Julia Brownley@juliabrownley.house.govOct 1(source)

Today, for the third time under the Trump administration and a Republican-controlled Congress, the federal government has entered a shutdown, forcing millions of Americans to pay the price for their inaction.

Brownley Statement on Republican Shutdown of the Federal Government - Congresswoman Julia Brownley

Congresswoman Julia Brownley issued the following statement regarding the shutdown of the federal government.

Congresswoman Julia Brownley@juliabrownley.house.govSep 30(source)

This shutdown is theirs. Republicans own it – and everyday Americans are paying the price.

Congresswoman Julia Brownley@juliabrownley.house.govSep 30(source)

House Democrats are ready to pass a bipartisan bill to protect Americans’ health care and stop out-of-pocket costs from skyrocketing. But we won’t give Republicans a blank check for their extreme agenda that leaves Americans less healthy and less secure.

Congresswoman Julia Brownley@juliabrownley.house.govSep 30(source)

They’ve already cut Medicaid for millions of Americans – now they’re doubling down and driving up premiums for 22 million more.

Congresswoman Julia Brownley@juliabrownley.house.govSep 30(source)

Republicans in Congress are shutting down the government because they refuse to fix the health care crisis they created.

Congresswoman Julia Brownley@juliabrownley.house.govSep 30(source)

House Democrats are in Washington, ready to work. Republicans need to show up and do their jobs. The government shouldn’t shut down because Republicans refuse to work for the American people.

Congresswoman Julia Brownley@juliabrownley.house.govSep 30(source)

House Republicans canceled votes, blocked negotiations, and now they’re missing in action as the government shuts down. No votes. No solutions. Just empty seats.

Congresswoman Julia Brownley@juliabrownley.house.govSep 30(source)

For the next 24 hours, House Democrats are going live as we fight to protect health care and keep the government open. Tune in here ⤵️ www.youtube.com/live/2dm-OKj...

House Democrats are in Washington, ready to negotiate a fair, bipartisan agreement to protect health care and keep the government open. Meanwhile, Republicans skipped town, canceled votes, and are refusing to negotiate a deal that works for the American people.
