Trump is using the government shutdown as an excuse to carry out his crusade against federal workers.
This is an attack on our public servants, our government, and everyone who is supported by its services.

I’m saddened that conversations around quality healthcare become conversations about affordability. Not just for me and my family, but for millions of Americans who are struggling right now.
This is why, amidst a government shutdown, we must fight to lower costs and protect healthcare.
Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress want you to believe the lies because they need to distract you from the truth.
Millions of Americans will see their healthcare costs go up and could be forced to drop their coverage if we don’t end this shutdown in a responsible way.
Speaker Johnson is running from the shutdown conversation, but I’m bringing it to the people that really matter in this fight: our federal workers, people impacted by rising costs, and those at risk of losing their healthcare.
Republicans shut down the government and walked away, leaving their constituents to suffer the consequences.
If you’re not already pissed off about that, you should be.
It’s Day 4 of the government shutdown, your healthcare is on the line, and Speaker Johnson is keeping the House of Representatives at home again next week.
Shame on him.
As Theresa says, it is YOUR money, not Donald Trump’s money, that the administration is bartering with in this shutdown.
More from my conversation with Theresa and other New Jerseyans coming soon.
My statement on a tentative agreement to release hostages and bring peace to Israeli and Palestinian peoples.
It’s day three of the government shutdown.
Enough of the partisan games. Real lives are at stake.
Simply shameful.
Speaker Johnson has resorted to holding our healthcare hostage, extending House Republicans' paid vacation to avoid lowering costs and doing their jobs for the American people.
Be a leader, this shutdown requires one.
Speaker Mike Johnson said he’s considering not bringing the House back into session until the Senate passes the House’s continuing resolution.

Conversations about the government shutdown are happening all over the country, including in Jersey diners.
Looking forward to sharing more about my conversations with federal workers and people who will be impacted by the skyrocketing healthcare costs as I bring these stories back with me to DC.
Americans are tired of the rampant corruption in government, and so am I.
This shutdown is yet another example of the lawlessness we see coming from Donald Trump, Russell Vought, and others in this administration.
Republicans in Congress are panicking and hiding from their constituents during this government shutdown because they know their constituents want to keep their healthcare.
Let’s keep the pressure on. Stand up, speak out. Your stories matter.
The New Jersey residents I spoke to today have a message for Donald Trump…
“This is our money.”
Donald Trump is trying to play games with it to prolong this shutdown. We're going to fight back and reopen the government so that it works for you.
Lucinda from Whiting, NJ is one of the thousands of calls and emails I’ve received expressing concern about losing their health care and rising costs.
People all across the country, regardless of political preferences, are feeling this pain.
Would your family be able to afford a 50% or higher payment on your healthcare?
Because that's what Republicans are proposing as they take vacation and run out the clock.
Write to me at andy@kim.senate.gov to share your story and I'll continue uplifting the real harm this will cause.
The stories I heard today in NJ really put things into perspective.
Here’s what I’m taking away from my visit and bringing back to the Capitol later today.
Having conversations with people in New Jersey who are hurting from the government shutdown and rising costs across this country is the most important thing right now.
These are the people we should be fighting for.
We all know Trump has a tricky relationship with the truth.
This claim is no different—it’s a lie. A distraction from the fact that millions of Americans' healthcare premiums are about to skyrocket.
Let’s call out these lies for what they are.
Our roads, tunnels, and bridges are our lifeblood in New Jersey.
It’s absolutely offensive that Trump is weaponizing taxpayer dollars and mafia bossing his way into our state, taking critical funds away, just to make a political point.
