Even Donald Trump once said, "a shutdown falls on the President’s lack of leadership."
Well, choosing to shut down rather than save health care is one of the biggest failures in leadership imaginable.

Fact: Undocumented immigrants are not even eligible to purchase the ACA coverage we’re trying to protect.
Republicans voted to hike costs and take health care away from American citizens.
Including their own constituents.
Read that again. Over and over.
If you live in these states, your ACA premiums are about to jump:
SD - Up 235%
LA - Up 150%
WV - Up 387%
WY - Up 382%
TN - Up 320%
MS - Up 314%
AK - Up 346%
Republicans are fighting to make sure this happens to their own constituents.
Trump continues threatening our state with his unwarranted, unwanted and unjust military deployments.
This dangerous pattern of politicizing our military and forcing our troops to intimidate their fellow Americans in their communities is as un-American as it gets.
Full stop.
If this deeply degrading, wasteful and dangerous stunt proved anything, it’s that the best thing Hegseth can do to strengthen our military is resign in disgrace.
Immediately.
Straight from the horse's mouth.
Trump knows damn well this shutdown is on him. He's the President—he has the power to keep the government open AND keep health care premiums from skyrocketing.
Using tear gas, pepper spray and more against Americans exercising their First Amendment rights is deeply disturbing.
I’m in contact with local officials and I urge Illinoisans stay calm, stay safe and document what you can.
We will hold the Trump Administration accountable.
On Gold Star Mother’s and Family’s Day, we honor those who've lost a loved one while serving our nation.
Their tremendous sacrifices—and the loss they continue to carry—will never be forgotten, and we can never stop working to provide them with the support they deserve.
For his own vanity, Pete Hegseth is pulling our military leaders away from their missions around the world—
At great cost to American taxpayers and our national security.
In every way, this abrupt, unprecedented meeting is too high a price.
I’m demanding answers.
Los Angeles. D.C. Memphis. Portland.
Our troops didn't sign up to intimidate their fellow Americans and be pawns in Trump's political theater.
Shame on Republicans for being complicit in this abuse of our military.
If you’re worried about losing your health care, apparently Trump has a message for you:
Republicans are marching us toward a shutdown—
And the most unqualified SecDef is summoning our top military leaders from around the globe on the taxpayer's dime...
So that he, of all people, could lecture them on the warrior ethos.
Completely and utterly ridiculous.
“A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.”
— The Declaration of Independence
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.
Political differences are inevitable. But here in America, violence is never, ever the answer.
Everyone should be able to condemn the deadly attack against the ICE facility in Dallas.

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.

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 byTammy Duckworth
Health care prices are going to skyrocket this November because of President Trump. I’m not going to just lay down and take that.
Health care. We want families to have health care.
When Trump rants about how "unreasonable" this is, remember that he decimated Medicaid—
To gift-wrap tax cuts for his Mar-a-Lago pals.
And instead of helping us fix the crisis he created, Trump is shutting down the government.
Trump once suggested that injecting bleach could help cure COVID.
RFK has a long, long history of peddling medical misinformation to enrich himself.
