BREAKING: Republicans just voted against a bill to fund government AND save your health care. Help make sure Americans know Republicans are SO determined to let premiums DOUBLE that they would rather SHUTDOWN the government than work to avert this crisis.

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govSep 30(source)

This President wants to shut down the government.

Take it from Mr. Art of the Deal, if there’s a shutdown, the president is to blame.

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govSep 30(source)

It's the President's job to keep the government open— President Trump said so himself. We can keep the government open and stop health care costs from rising even further, but only if he and congressional republicans are willing to negotiate.

The White House keeps saying this is about health care for immigrants. That’s an OUTRIGHT LIE and a blatant attempt to distract you from the fact that they’re trying to increase ALL our premiums – no matter what insurance you have.

Does this seem like an administration with any interest in keeping the government open? The Republican Trifecta sounds gleeful about causing a shutdown.

A U.S. government website, hud.gov, is now showing notices blaming "the radical left" for the looming shutdown

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govSep 30(source)

Why are Republicans lying to you? Because they voted to take health care away from 15 MILLION Americans, and raise YOUR premiums. Don't buy their lies. We're fighting to restore access to care and stop Republican price hikes.

Trump is absolutely right. He will own a Republican shutdown. Right now, Republicans are willing to shut down the government rather than solve the health care crisis they created. They want families to go bankrupt paying for health care. REPUBLICAN SHUTDOWN⬇️

Health insurance premiums could spike by nearly $300 a month for Minnesotans. Doesn’t take an economist to know most people can’t afford that.

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake.

Democrats’ position is simple: lower costs, save rural health care, keep the government open. It shouldn’t be this hard. Let’s just repeal costly cuts to health care and save millions of Americans money.

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govSep 29(source)

What's unreasonable about giving millions Americans back the health coverage Republicans took away? If the White House wants to 'be reasonable', they should come to the negotiating table.

This #NationalPublicLandsDay, I'm celebrating the beauty of Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge. Public lands like these belong to all of us. As the Trump administration tries to sell them off, we must stand strong and protect future generations' access to our natural heritage.

Everyone deserves a place of their own to call home. It's time congress took action to bring affordable rent and homeownership back within reach for working Americans.

Your health care bill is about to explode. The notices will start arriving next month. A $7,000 bill could jump to $24,000. Democrats are fighting to stop this. Republicans are fighting to guarantee your costs go up. We need to fix this. Now.

Who is Trump trying to fire exactly? These geniuses have had to scramble to REHIRE thousands of workers ranging from nuclear scientists to food safety inspectors tracking bird flu. Intimidation tactics won't work. Behave like an adult—negotiate with Democrats.

Removing signs in National Parks telling stories of slavery, climate change, Japanese American detention, and conflicts with Native Americans doesn’t make America great… It just proves how afraid Trump is of the truth.

The National Park Service has removed signs that make reference to climate change amid the Trump administration’s wider effort to remove information that it says undermines “the remarkable achievements of the United States.”

Donald Trump wants to lend $20 billion of our money to bail out a political ally and his global investors before an election. Oh, and Argentina just struck a major deal with China that crushes American soybean farmers already suffering from Trump's tariffs. “America First.”

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govSep 25(source)

Instead of negotiating, the Trump admin is trying a different strategy: threaten to do something they’re already doing. While Republicans play games with federal workers’ lives, Democrats are fighting to restore health care for millions of Americans. We are not the same.

White House begins plan for mass firings if there’s a government shutdown

The Office of Management and Budget sent a memo to federal agencies Wednesday night instructing them to plan for staff reductions, including firings.

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govSep 24(source)

The Trump administration is rejecting help from experts - our doctors, nurses and scientists - opting instead to make medical recommendations based on no evidence at all. RFK Jr was never going to make America healthier, but now it’s clear how harmful his recklessness could be.
