It’s Day 8 of the government shutdown, and Day 19 of NO votes in the House! While Speaker Johnson is still making excuses about not bringing the House back to work- the shutdown of health care looms for 24 million Americans whose premiums will DOUBLE, with open enrollment fast approaching.

Tweet from Jake Sherman: Asked if he’ll bring the house back next week, Johnson said “we’ve already done our job”

Air traffic controllers were already facing severe staffing shortages, especially after Trump’s reckless firings earlier this year. But soon, they will start missing paychecks. The GOP created this crisis- but they would rather take a paid vacation – 19 days so far! - than get back to work.

Government shutdown staffing shortages cause flight delays at PHL and other airports

Staffing shortages led to more flight delays at airports across the U.S. on Tuesday as the federal government shutdown stretched into a seventh day, while union leaders warned the situation was likely...

During this #GOPShutdown, our servicemembers, TSA officers, air traffic controllers, and others are working unpaid. But a $20 BILLION bailout for this Trump right-wing foreign ally was made "essential."

This year, 3 representatives-elect were sworn in less than 24 hours after their special elections. It’s been TWO WEEKS. I proudly joined my House Democratic colleagues in calling on Speaker Johnson to swear in Rep.-elect Grijalva as soon as possible.

Open enrollment starts soon, and my constituents can’t wait to find out if the GOP, who have total control of Washington, will extend the tax credits that make their health care coverage affordable. If you're already seeing your premiums rise, I want to hear from you!

If Republicans let Affordable Care Act tax credits expire, a family of four in PA-03 making $64,000 will see their annual premiums rise by 327%

If Republicans let Affordable Care Act tax credits expire, a 60-year-old couple in PA-03 making $82,800 will see their annual premiums rise by $11,485

Our dedicated federal workers should NOT be used as political pawns! Let’s be clear: it’s against the law to deny federal workers back pay after a shutdown. Trump should know- he signed the law after he last shut down the federal government.

Screenshot from Washington Post article. Text reads: Administration officials hope the memo will maximize Republicans’ leverage in shutdown negotiations with Democrats, according to two people familiar with internal talks, both speaking on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly. Trump and Vice President JD Vance have threatened imminent mass layoffs of federal employees — from arms of the federal government that Trump called “Democrat agencies” — but have yet to carry out the firings.

Breaking news: Furloughed federal workers are not entitled to automatic back pay after the government shutdown ends, the Trump administration argues, adding that a law Trump signed guaranteeing back pay to furloughed workers in 2019 does no such thing.

Congressman Dwight Evans@repdwightevans.bsky.socialOct 7(source)

Good to see a shift in WORDS from congressional Republicans – now let’s see ACTIONS. The GOP must end their vacation, bring the House back to Washington, and work with us to stop the shutdown of health care that’s looming for 24 million Americans. Democrats have BEEN ready to get to work.

Screenshot of NBC News Headline: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene breaks with the GOP on Obamacare, calling to avoid premium hikes
Greene said she's "not a fan" of Obamacare but complained that her "own adult children’s insurance premiums for 2026 are going to DOUBLE" if Congress ignores the issue.

Screenshot of Wall Street Journal Headline: Trump Open to Healthcare Talks With Democrats to End Shutdown
Since the government shutdown began, Democrats and Republicans have been at an impasse over extending Obamacare subsidies

Screenshot of NPR Headline: Time is short for an ACA premium fix in the shutdown fight, says GOP insurance leader

Screenshot of HuffPost Headline: Mike Johnson Shifts Tone On Health Care As Shutdown Drags On
“Republicans are the ones concerned about health care,” House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said Monday.

Philadelphians are seeing higher prices at coffee shops and grocery stores when grabbing their morning brew. ☕️ A big reason why: Trump's reckless tariffs - and congressional Republicans’ refusals to take back Congress' tariff power. #Trumpflation

Sky-high coffee prices have become ‘too much’ for some Philly-area consumers

Caffeine lovers are feeling the pinch at coffee shops and grocery stores. Small-business owners say they have no choice but to raise prices as volatile weather and tariffs put pressure on the market.

Is this what it means for Republicans to work around the clock to "fix" health care?

Mike Johnson: "Let me look right into the camera and tell you very clearly: Republicans are the ones concerned about healthcare. Republicans are the party working around the clock everyday to fix healthcare. This is not talking points for us: we've done it."

Two simple truths: 1. Without federal action, starting this fall, millions of Americans will see their health premiums DOUBLE. 2. Speaker Johnson is refusing to swear in Rep.-elect Grijalva, the 218th & final signer needed to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files.

Trump and congressional Republicans’ inaction on the looming health-insurance premium cost spike will amount to a SHUTDOWN of health care for 24 million Americans.

ACA premiums to rise 114% without subsidy renewal

The tax credits that help people afford premiums are at the center of the showdown over government funding.

Less than a month ago, John Thune and his GOP majority changed Senate rules to allow Trump’s nominees to be confirmed. But now they won’t change their rules to reopen the government. Let’s be clear- this is a GOP shutdown.

Senate GOP goes ‘nuclear’ to break Trump nominee gridlock

The rules change could allow the Senate to start confirming nominees in groups starting next week.

New CBS poll on the #GOPShutdown

Congressman Dwight Evans@repdwightevans.bsky.socialOct 5(source)

Trump said he would lower costs on day one- not shut down Pennsylvanians’ health care by doubling their insurance premiums. This should not be a partisan issue - hard-working Americans across the country, in red and blue districts alike, rely on ACA credits to afford their health care.

This is a remarkable statistic: 18.7 million out of the 24.3 million Obamacare enrollees are in states won by President Trump in 2024. www.kff.org/quick-take/m...

On Sept. 12, Trump told the congressional GOP: “Don’t even bother dealing with [Democrats]... We have to get Republican votes. That’s all." Now the government is shut down. If Republicans don’t want to work with Democrats to lower health care costs, they can fund the government on their own.

Johnson won’t commit to vote on potential Senate compromise as shutdown drags on

House Speaker Mike Johnson said in an interview with Scripps News that he is not committing to putting a potential Senate compromise to reopen the government on the House floor.

Congressman Dwight Evans@repdwightevans.bsky.socialOct 3(source)

The Constitution is very clear on this: Congress has the power of the purse, not the executive branch.

How scared is Speaker Johnson of a vote to release the Epstein files? By keeping the House out of session, he is refusing to swear in Rep.-Elect Adelita Grijalva- the 218th and final signature needed to force a vote.

Mike Johnson May Not Bring the House Back Until Senate Passes Short-Term Funding Bill

The speaker has argued that the House has done it’s job and there isn’t a reason to return until the government reopens.
