Watching the Speaker of the House spread wild conspiracies is beyond disappointing— it's clear he's getting desperate.
He knows that everyday Americans see that the REAL reason we're in this shutdown is his refusal to call House Republicans back to do their job.

I'm tired of hearing Republicans say they'll deal with the health care crisis they created "later."
Later is TOO LATE.
If Republicans could rush to give billionaires tax breaks this summer, we can save families from seeing their health care premiums more than double RIGHT NOW.

Letitia James successfully took Trump to court, now it’s clear he’s using the DOJ for revenge.
He knows that the best way to avoid being held accountable for breaking the law is to threaten and jail the people who try.
This is vengeance, not justice.
Rep. Greene and I agree on almost nothing, but she's right: people are having a hard time getting by right now, and doing nothing isn't an option.
Listen to what this Republican mother had to say to Speaker Johnson this morning.
If he's not willing to listen to us, I hope he'll listen to the American people. Families are hurting, and Republicans have the power to put a stop to it. We're at the table. We're waiting.

Why did Republicans gut health care? To fund tax breaks for billionaires.
Why’d they gut child nutrition benefits? Tax breaks for billionaires.
Why’d they add $30 TRILLION to the debt? Tax breaks for billionaires!!!
They’re fighting for billionaires. We’re fighting for YOU.

1.4 million Georgians could see their premiums skyrocket next year if ACA tax credits expire.

I cherished every day I got to call myself a Soldier—but ordering troops to intimidate the very Americans they sacrifice to protect doesn’t make us safer.
Trump is wasting millions to terrorize citizens exercising their First Amendment rights. It's wrong.
Let Me Be Blunt: this isn’t business as usual.
Republicans shut down the government and are refusing to negotiate. They’re even holding committee hearings on everything BUT their shutdown.
This week, I used my time in those hearings to remind them what’s really at stake.
Now that Trump and his allies are back in power, they're showing us what weaponization of the federal government looks like.
Using the government to harass and intimidate political rivals is absolutely unacceptable.
I'm hearing from community members and care providers alike: Delawareans can't afford Republicans' health care crisis.
We need a solution—now.
Katheryn is right: we cannot give up on our friends and neighbors.
These cruel threats do nothing to bring down the temperature, bring people back to the table, or reopen the government.
The law is clear— federal workers shouldn't suffer because this administration refuses to negotiate.

The letter of the law is as plain as can be—federal workers, including furloughed workers, are entitled to their backpay following a shutdown.
Another baseless attempt to try and scare & intimidate workers by an administration run by crooks and cowards.
Working around the clock? House Republicans haven't been here in weeks.
If Republicans were the ones concerned about health care, they'd be negotiating to avert the health care crisis THEY created.
It's time for the GOP to come back to Washington and do their job.
We should be doing everything in our power to protect our friends and neighbors from the oncoming health care crisis.
Instead, Republicans refused to negotiate and shut down the government.
My message? Get back to Washington and do your job.
Republicans know this is a lie, but they repeat it anyway.
It's because they can't defend kicking millions off of their insurance and raising costs for everyone.
Reposted bySenator Lisa Blunt Rochester
After shutting down the government, House Republicans went on vacation all this week.
Now they're on vacation ALL NEXT WEEK, TOO. It's absurd.
No one should pretend Republicans care about reopening government or saving your health care.
Republicans shut down the government, left town, and refuse to come back.
All to protect their billionaire tax cuts and keep millions of Americans uninsured.
Republicans need to come back to work and reopen the government.

Wanna know whose shutdown this is?
Pay attention to who’s enjoying it.
