Republicans and Trump have been pushing us towards a shutdown for months. Instead of coming together to lower health care costs for Americans, they chose politics and partisanship.
Trump was clear, if there is a shutdown it’s a black mark on his presidency. We can keep the government open and lower health care costs for working Americans, if he chooses to lead.
The government is going to shut down and your health insurance is going to go up–why don't we have a deal?
Take it from Trump: The President of the United States has to get this done.
For 126 years the VFW has stood for America’s veterans and their families. Now veterans and the VFW are getting squeezed, and a Republican shutdown could make things even worse. I’m going to keep standing up for our veterans, their services and their jobs, no matter how tough or how long the fight.
There are common sense gun reforms that are supported by a majority of Americans.
We need to do this now.
North Carolina, Michigan, and countless others, when is enough, enough?
When will we all demand better from each other, from our government?
We must stop the hatred of each other, but we must also demand each of our elected officials do more.
There must be a full investigation in order to ensure our veterans’ private information is protected and cannot be weaponized against them for political purposes.
The release of Congresswoman Sherrill’s personal information is a clear violation of privacy laws and an attempt by Trump’s allies to twist her military service for their own political agenda.
Republicans are raising your health care costs. Even a small reduction in coverage can mean huge cost increases for New Jerseyans.

Donald Trump promised lower costs. Instead, his policies are hiking energy prices and squeezing working families.
While billionaires and fossil fuel companies reap the rewards, Trump is dismantling clean energy projects while Americans are left paying more just to keep the lights on.
We are at an inflection point in our history where we must put in the work to break down our divisions and see our shared humanity. We cannot choose the path of hatred and division.
While we don’t know all of the details yet, what we can, and all should, agree on is that the vilification of any group of people endangers them. It makes them targets. And it must stop.
The shooting at an ICE facility in Dallas is an unacceptable act of violence. My heart is with the victims and their loved ones.

People can’t afford a 70% hike in their health insurance costs. They’re already barely scraping by as it is. That’s what we’re trying to solve.
Meanwhile, he’s throwing a temper tantrum because we are using our leverage to get a deal to SAVE AMERICANS’ HEALTH CARE.
Reposted bySen. Cory Booker
Health care prices are going to skyrocket this November because of President Trump. I’m not going to just lay down and take that.
Reposted bySen. Cory Booker
Last week, Democrats voted for a bill that would keep the government open and restore health care funding for millions of Americans who rely on it.
Republicans blocked that bill and left town.
If the government shuts down, it's because they refused to negotiate.
Reposted bySen. Cory Booker
Your Big Ugly Bill imposed the largest cuts to health care in U.S. history, including over $900 billion in Medicaid cuts. Rural hospitals are already shutting down and reducing services as a result.
Tell Trump to stop hiding behind Truth Social and sit down with Democrats.
Reposted bySen. Cory Booker
Wondering what’s on our “totally unserious” “radical wish list”?
It’s affordable health care.
God forbid!!
