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.
A quick reminder for the Speaker: Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House.
HE is the one keeping the House closed and refusing to protect health care for millions of Americans. And that’s plain and simple.
Our troops, TSA officers, air traffic controllers, & others who are working unpaid are not “having fun with this,” Mr. Speaker.
Furloughed federal employees aren't "having fun with this."
Americans whose premiums will DOUBLE thanks to Republican inaction aren't “having fun with this."
Attention #Philly federal workers: Were you required to set a partisan email message? Did someone change your auto-response message without your permission?
I want to hear from you! Leave a comment below or share your story here: evans.house.gov/story
This administration is spending BILLIONS to bail out a wealthy crony, but doing nothing to help the 24 million Americans whose health insurance premiums will skyrocket - GOP priorities like that steered us to a government shutdown.
This should not be a partisan game - across party lines, Americans agree ACA tax credits should be extended.
Congressional Democrats are listening to our constituents and want to stop health insurance premiums from DOUBLING. When will Republicans?
If ACA tax credits aren’t extended, 24 million Americans – including 29,000 people in #PA03– will see their premiums skyrocket by, on average, 114%!
This is not a game. As insurers are currently setting rates for next year, the time to extend these tax credits is NOW.
Exactly what he said.
Rather than throwing temper tantrums online, the President should come to the negotiation table and work with Democrats to stop health care costs from skyrocketing for millions of Americans.
From the same poll- a majority of Americans believe the ACA tax credits should be extended. Without these critical credits, nearly 24 million Americans will see their health insurance premiums DOUBLE.
So, when are congressional Republicans going to start listening?
"Essential" to Trump:
✅Building his $200 million golden ballroom
✅$20 BILLION bailout to his foreign right-wing crony
"Non-essential" to Trump:
❌Stopping health insurance costs from doubling for 24 million Americans
❌Paying our troops, TSA workers, air traffic controllers & others during a shutdown
Wishing all who will be observing in Philadelphia and beyond a blessed, meaningful, and reflective Yom Kippur!
The math is simply not mathing… #GOPShutdown
Thanks to Trump and congressional Republicans’ inaction, our federal government has shut down.
During this time, my office is still open to serve Philadelphians. To learn more about what this shutdown could mean for you or to contact my office, visit evans.house.gov/shutdownfaqs
While our troops, TSA officers and others go without pay and federal services come to a halt, Trump made sure that Argentina could get its $20 billion bailout.
He designated a bailout for his foreign right-wing crony as “essential” - unlike services to Americans.
While our military and civilian employees don’t get paid during a government shutdown, the President and Members of Congress will still receive theirs.
I will be refusing my own pay until the end of this Republican-created shutdown.
Without further action from Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans, the federal government will shut down tonight at midnight. I know many Philadelphians are concerned about what a government shutdown means for them.
