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)

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.”

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.

Happy Diwali to everyone celebrating in Philadelphia and beyond! Wishing you a wonderful and joyous festival spent with friends, family, and loved ones.

Congressman Dwight Evans@repdwightevans.bsky.socialOct 20(source)

While critical federal services are being cut and millions of Americans are about to see a shutdown of their health care, Trump is “uninterested” in “deploying” his “dealmaking background.” Whatever happened to ‘I alone can fix it’ and ‘The Art of the Deal’? #GOPShutdown

Democrats say Trump needs to be involved in shutdown talks. He's shown little interest in doing so

Democrats are calling on President Donald Trump to get more involved with negotiations to end the government shutdown.

During this #GOPShutdown, our dedicated air-traffic controllers are understaffed and working unpaid- but this what the Trump administration is prioritizing. If the House were in session rather than on day 31 of the GOP’s vacation, we could be doing oversight of the executive branch.

Screenshot from NYT article with the text: Documents that were posted to a public government procurement website and reviewed by The Times show that the department has since signed a contract with Gulfstream to buy not one but two “used” G700 jets, touted by the company as having the “most spacious cabin in the industry.” The total contract value is listed as a little over $172 million.

It was not immediately clear where the funding for the jets came from.

Trump’s immigration enforcement policies are horrific and out of control- when will congressional Republicans join Democrats in holding his administration accountable for these abuses? (2/2)

According to ProPublica’s investigation, of the more 170 AMERICAN CITIZENS detained, nearly 20 are children- including two with cancer. (1/2)

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.

The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...
