American troops shouldn’t be punished because of Republicans’ refusal to negotiate a bipartisan budget bill.
The Speaker should bring House Republicans back from their 3-week vacation and pass legislation to ensure our troops get paid until a compromise is reached.

I call on all the parties to implement this agreement in good faith and to do the immense work to turn this bright moment into a long term resolution of the conflict.
I am relieved that Israel and Hamas have agreed to a ceasefire and that innocent hostages will return home—which is the first step toward ensuring a durable peace across the Middle East.
If Congress waits to extend ACA tax credits until Dec. 31, 1.5 million more people will be uninsured in 2026 than if they were extended at an earlier date—and millions more will see higher health care premiums.
This crisis cannot wait.
From flight delays to delayed paychecks for workers, Republicans’ refusal to negotiate a bipartisan budget that reopens government and prevents health care costs from skyrocketing is hurting Americans nationwide.
It’s time to put the American people over politics!

House Republicans being on vacation for the past 3 weeks probably isn’t helping.
Republicans must return to Washington, sit down with Democrats, and negotiate a bipartisan solution that will reopen government and prevent healthcare costs from skyrocketing on American families.
Why would the president even consider pardoning a convicted sexual predator like Ghislaine Maxwell?
Release the Epstein Files.
First, Republicans shut the government down to undermine the ACA
Now, they’re threatening to withhold the backpay that federal workers need to keep food on the table
Stop threatening your own citizens and negotiate a bipartisan spending bill that reopens the government and lowers healthcare costs!
“First Mr. Trump imposes tariffs that he says only hurt foreigners. But when that turns out not to be true, he takes political credit for payments to offset the damage as if he’s somehow protecting the American farmer.
How about not hurting them in the first place?”

If the Speaker is serious, he can extend the ACA tax credits that will prevent healthcare premiums from skyrocketing, restore the $1 TRILLION in funding Republicans cut from Medicaid, and end the Republican shutdown!
I call on Israel and Hamas to take the first step towards ending the devastation and destruction throughout the region by agreeing to the proposed ceasefire and a long term peace process.
As we pray for the victims, their families, and their communities, let us also pray for the immediate return of the innocent hostages, an end to this brutal conflict and the suffering of the Palestinian people, and a lasting peace across the region.
Today marks 2 years since Hamas terrorists senselessly slaughtered over 1,200 people, including dozens of Americans, in their brutal attack on Israel.
May we take a moment to grieve with the families, and may we never forget the lives lost.
Just like he wants to rip healthcare away from hardworking families, the president wants to steal paychecks from federal workers.
The law is clear and @housedemocrats.bsky.social won’t stand for it.
The president continues violating court orders in his lawless attempts to sow chaos in American cities.
At what point will Republicans in Congress stand up to this blatant abuse of power?

Republicans enacted the largest cut to Medicaid in history.
Their Big Ugly Bill will rip health care away from 15 MILLION Americans.
Now, they’ve shut down the government to prevent an extension of ACA tax credits that help working class families afford their premiums.
It says everything that, in the middle of a government shut down, House Republicans decided to take another week off.
Democrats will keep showing up to work, fighting to lower costs, and protecting the health care of American families – because someone has to do the people’s work.
Together, we’ll keep fighting to #ProtectOurCare and ensure workers get the pay and benefits they have earned!
It was an honor to speak before the Communications Workers of America this morning to talk about the harmful impacts of the president’s Big Ugly Bill—which rips healthcare away from millions of American workers, kills clean energy jobs, and gives tax breaks to giant corporations.
If Republicans are successful in ending ACA tax credits, 383,000 Missourians are at risk of losing their health care and 216,000 face premiums that are more than DOUBLE what they paid this year.
Missouri families literally cannot afford this cruelty.
