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.
House Democrats occupy the House Floor while the Republican side is empty
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.
Republicans are acting like passing their short-term Continuing Resolution is business as usual. What’s happening in America is ANYTHING but business as usual. Donald Trump ignores the law and Congressionally approved funding. Why we would we support a bill he’ll again ignore?
If Americans get slapped with higher healthcare premiums, which will happen if we don’t act now, they won’t be able to afford their care. Even Republicans know these higher premiums would be devastating www.politico.com/news/2025/09...
Americans are already dealing with increasing grocery costs and utility bills. Despite Trump’s promise to lower costs “on day one,” and usher in “a golden age,” the opposite is happening. And this looming healthcare crisis - once it hits - will be catastrophic for Americans.
If Republicans want help, Dems want to: 1. Help the 15 million Americans who’ll be kicked off healthcare because of their “Beautiful Bill” 2. Prevent premiums from skyrocketing by extending Affordable Care Act subsidies 3. Force Trump to follow the law when it comes to funding
Republicans created a healthcare crisis with massive Medicaid cuts to fund tax breaks for millionaires, and the President has ignored the law by cutting Congressionally funded programs and firing employees. Meanwhile, there is another healthcare crisis: expiration of Obamacare subsidies.
bsky.app/profile/repe... I talked to and have casework for many, but my office and I are continuing to try and get more information. You may not hear updates as this involves quite a bit of the detainees’ private information, but the work continues on our end!
Some men had work permits that were canceled, or were in legal proceedings to adjust their status when they were apprehended. Many of the men we spoke to had come from Florida's "Alligator Alcatraz," which was shut down by a federal judge, and described terrible conditions there.
What we choose to fund through the government is a statement of our priorities. The Republicans refusing to extend healthcare tax cuts (that'll cause premiums for Americans to SKYROCKET) are the same ones who voted to give the ultra rich tax cuts...
This #NationalPublicLandsDay, we celebrate the beauty of our public lands, including Castner Range National Monument.    For 50 years, our community fought to preserve El Paso's outdoor spaces and make #Castner4ever a reality!
Trump and Republicans so badly want to kick you off your healthcare or make your premiums skyrocket, they’re willing to fire thousands of dedicated federal employees to prove a point. Republicans control the government. A shutdown will be on them.
43,424 people in Texas’ 16th Congressional District will lose health coverage because of Republican cuts to Medicaid (also known in Texas as STAR+PLUS) due to provisions in Trump’s "One Big Beautiful Bill” and Republican plans to gut the Affordable Care Act.
