Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House.
They could end this shutdown if they wanted to.
Instead, they keep trying to pass a bill that pushes us closer to a health care catastrophe.

15 million people kicked off their health care.
Health insurance costs for families will massively increase.
Republicans shut down the government to make YOUR health care more expensive.
Reposted bySenator Lisa Blunt Rochester
We're not asking for the moon here. We’re trying to help Americans pay for their health insurance.
Translation: House Republicans are RULING OUT reopening the government.
The American people can't afford your inaction, Mr. Speaker.
People aren't reading polls, they're reading their bills and they know costs are skyrocketing thanks to this administration.
That's why I'm here— to fight for Delawareans and folks all across the country who feel left behind.
This is yet another attempt to mislead you— rates aren't set in December, they're going out NOW.
While Republicans pretend like it's no big deal, millions of our friends and neighbors are about to be priced out of their coverage.
This just shows the warped perspective this administration has on government.
There aren't 'Democrat Agencies' or 'Republican Agencies'.
Federal Agencies exist to help EVERY American, regardless of party. Shutting them down hurts all of us.
We're not saying we have a perfect health care system, but we can't break it even further and let people's costs skyrocket.
People are already hurting, and every day Republicans refuse to come to the table makes things worse.
We're entering the second day of the Republican government shutdown, and they STILL haven't come to the table to negotiate.
The government is shuttered and we're on the brink of a health care catastrophe. What are they waiting for?
This is a blatant attempt by the Trump administration to go after opponents by illegally withholding funds, killing jobs, and raising energy costs for red and blue states alike.
If they think this is a winning strategy, they're dead wrong.
I won't be swayed by corrupt abuses of power.
Let Me Be Blunt: Republicans just shut down the government.

I was sent this by a Georgian this morning. 2025 premiums vs 2026 premiums for someone making $65k a year.
Republicans in Washington did this.
This is what I'm fighting to stop. This is what’s at stake in this shutdown fight.
If Republicans were serious, they'd be listening to the people who are saying: 'please don't take away our care'.
If Republicans were serious, they wouldn't stand by while health insurance premiums double.
It's time for Republicans to get serious.
This morning, the federal government shut down because Republicans refused to negotiate.
Premiums are set to double. 15 million Americans are losing their health insurance. All to protect their billionaire tax breaks.
It's time for Republicans to come to the table.

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.
This President wants to shut down the government.
Reposted bySenator Lisa Blunt Rochester
Take it from Mr. Art of the Deal, if there’s a shutdown, the president is to blame.
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.
Reposted bySenator Lisa Blunt Rochester
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.
