24 million Americans are about to see a shutdown of their health care. 2 million Pennsylvanians are about to lose their SNAP benefits. Federal workers are missing their paychecks. But right now- “the ballroom is really the president’s main priority.”

Americans just want to be able to afford their health care and put food on the table. Meanwhile Trump is demolishing the White House to build a ballroom, signing some merch, and giving a $20 billion bailout to his right-wing crony in Argentina.

'Keeping lawmakers in Washington until the job is done'? Another example of a bill that won't get a hearing or a vote while Republicans keep the House closed for their 33-day paid vacation during this #GOPShutdown.

Screenshot of a post from Congressman Bresnahan with the text “The Prevent Government Shutdowns Act holds Congress accountable and keeps the government running. No recess. No excuses.” And a graphic that says “Prevent Government Shutdowns Act Cosponsor ‘Shutting down the government is a failure of Congress to do its job. The American people should not suffer because lawmakers miss a deadline. The Prevent Government Shutdowns Act holds Congress accountable by keeping lawmakers in Washington until the job is done. It protects federal workers, keeps essential services running, and restores responsibility to the budget process. No recess. No excuses. Get it done.”

Congressman Dwight Evans@repdwightevans.bsky.socialOct 22(source)

Thanks to Republicans’ massive ACA & Medicaid cuts, hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvanians are going to see a shutdown of their health care. As one Pennsylvanian said: it’s “going to be catastrophic." This is why I’m fighting alongside fellow House Dems to protect access to affordable health care.

Huge premium hikes coming for Pa. residents getting health insurance via marketplace

Congress failed to act on tax credits for health premiums.

If you are already seeing your health care premiums increasing- I want to hear from you! Share your health care story with my office here: evans.house.gov/story

As a Philly small business owner told my office: “I’m stuck between a rock and an even harder rock.” Millions of small business owners and employees rely on the ACA Marketplace for affordable health care. Their health care costs will skyrocket if Republicans fail to extend these tax credits.

Graphic with Philadelphia skyline and quote: “As a small business owner, subsidies were the only way I could afford healthcare. The risk of losing the subsidy is daunting enough. My premium is about to triple. I'm considering closing up shop to get a 9-5 with benefits but the job market is abysmal. I'm stuck between a rock and an even harder rock.”

Congressman Dwight Evans@repdwightevans.bsky.socialOct 22(source)

Even the top Republican House Appropriator thinks “if it were up to me, we’d come back right away.” Do any of PA's 10 House Republicans support ending their 33-day paid vacation and getting back to work in Washington?

Republicans Concede They Will Need to Extend Their Funding Patch Deadline — And Soon

In an interview in his Capitol Hill office, House Appropriations Committee Chair Tom Cole said there “clearly” needs to be another continuing resolution as the shutdown drags into its fourth week.

Congressman Dwight Evans@repdwightevans.bsky.socialOct 22(source)

The House can't act on this or ANY of the bills my colleagues have proposed until House Republicans end their 33-day paid vacation! The House hasn't even passed 9 of the 12 yearly appropriations bills - we DO have work to do in Washington. #GOPShutdown

INBOX: @RepMackenzie introduced the Shutdown Fairness Act to pay federal employees and armed services members who are required to work during government shutdowns.

“This bill stands up for those who show up — paying federal workers what we owe them, shutdown or not.”

Congressman Dwight Evans@repdwightevans.bsky.socialOct 21(source)

If Speaker Johnson brought the House back to Washington, House Republicans could also spend the afternoon lunching at the White House and getting some free merch instead of *actually* working to end the looming shutdown of health coverage for 24 million Americans! 📸: @andrewdesiderio.bsky.social

While his tariff-taxes are raising prices for families and millions are facing a shutdown of their health care, Trump is bailing out his right-wing ally with $20 billion of YOUR taxpayer money. Yesterday, I joined @velazquez.house.gov in demanding accountability for Trump’s reckless actions.

Velázquez Demands Answers on Trump’s $20 Billion Bailout for Argentina

WASHINGTON- Today, Congresswoman Nydia M. Velázquez (D-NY) led 35 Members of Congress in demanding answers from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent regarding the Trump Administration’s reported plan to extend approximately $20 billion in support to Argentina through the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Exchange Stabilization Fund (ESF).

Even Leader Thune agrees- it’s far past time for Speaker Johnson to end House Republicans’ 32-day paid vacation and get the House back to work for the American people. The House hasn’t even passed its version of 9 of the 12 yearly government funding bills! #GOPShutdown

Step 1: Reopen the House and negotiate with Democrats! #GOPShutdown

Congressman Dwight Evans@repdwightevans.bsky.socialOct 21(source)

Thanks to the inaction of House Republicans, nearly 24 million Americans are facing a shutdown of their health care, our dedicated federal workers are missing paychecks, and critical federal services have come to a halt- it’s time for Speaker Johnson to get a strategy.

Time for Trump to call for House Republicans to come back to work & negotiate an end to the twin shutdowns, including the looming shutdown of health coverage for 24 million Americans!

Congressman Dwight Evans@repdwightevans.bsky.socialOct 21(source)

The Constitution is very clear (as the White House website currently explains): the Congress, not the President, has the power of the purse. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Quote from White House website: Part of Congress’s exercise of legislative authority is the establishment of an annual budget for the government. To this end, Congress levies taxes and tariffs to provide funding for essential government services. If enough money cannot be raised to fund the government, then Congress may also authorize borrowing to make up the difference. Congress can also mandate spending on specific items: Legislatively directed spending, commonly known as “earmarks,” specifies funds for a particular project, rather than for a government agency.
