At the same time, millions of Americans have started receiving notices that their healthcare costs are about to skyrocket.

We’re two weeks into the Republican shutdown and I keep asking myself, “where are the Republicans?”
I'm grateful to all our community partners and organizations that made my resource fair for federal employees this past weekend possible.
My team and I continue to update my federal employee resource page online. For more information, visit escobar.house.gov/shutdown/
On Indigenous People’s Day, we celebrate the contributions, traditions, culture and history of Indigenous communities.
Today and every day, may we honor the legacy of the Tigua tribe of Ysleta del Sur Pueblo.
If federal employees aren’t getting paid, Members of Congress shouldn’t either.
I’m withholding my own pay until all 18,000 federal employees in El Paso and all service members at Fort Bliss are paid.
Support for millions of Americans losing their health insurance? ZERO
Support for farmers, who can’t sell what they’ve grown because of tariffs? ZERO
Support for the federal workforce? ZERO
But support for Argentina? $20 BILLION

🚨 Day 9 update on the Republican government shutdown
I sent an email survey to 185k El Pasoans and more than 8 in 10 respondents say Republicans should work with us on extending health insurance tax credits for American families.
Our community knows what's at stake with the Republican shutdown.
To all federal workers and servicemembers: hope to see you there.
Republicans would rather close the government than ensure Americans won't be kicked off their healthcare or watch their prices soar.
Federal employees and servicemembers are set to miss their paychecks this Friday, yet Republicans still refuse to even *meet* for negotiations.
There’s a reason Republicans keep lying about Democrats wanting to give free health insurance to the undocumented.
It’s because they want to take YOUR healthcare away and they’re hoping they distract you.
ACA tax credits are set to expire at the end of this year, but rate increase notices are already going out.
Here are just a few of the ways these subsidies help El Pasoans. They’re all reasons I’ll keep fighting.
Republicans control all of government, and their “go-it-alone” strategy is not appropriate. It’s time for bipartisan compromise.
Read my op-ed for the El Paso Times here: escobar.house.gov/news/documen...
The Republican shutdown is already impacting the 18,000 federal employees we have in our community, including El Pasoans I spoke with that have been fired.
My team and I are here for you.
Please visit escobar.house.gov/shutdown for resources or call my office at 915-541-1400
These are called Pro Forma sessions and have to happen at least every three days for complicated procedural reasons.
HOWEVER, when Democratic members rose and asked to be recognized so that we could call a vote on our proposal to fund the government. We were ignored and Rs adjourned the House.
I took this picture on the House Floor before Republicans gaveled us in for 2 minutes then ignored Dems when we tried to be brought back in session.
Proud to stand with my Democratic colleagues.
Where are House Republicans? 👀
The clock is ticking. Democrats are in D.C. ready to negotiate and keep the government open. But that’s hard to do when House Republicans are on vacation.
If Republicans want our help, they know where to find us.
The absent House Republicans may claim, “We’ve already passed our bill!”
That’s true, but they did so knowing it would fail in the Senate. You can't blame a shutdown on us when you present an unworkable "solution" and then skip town.
Instead of negotiating with us, Republicans have resorted to spewing outlandish lies about what Democrats want in the hopes that they'll distract you with culture wars.
No, we aren't fighting for Medicaid for undocumented immigrants or transgender surgeries.
