As a small business owner in WA state, Stacya should be able to get health care for herself that doesn't bankrupt her. I don't know who Republicans are talking to, but they need to WAKE UP. We have to save the ACA tax credits, and we need to do it ASAP.
Republicans are telling us we have to wait to even talk about stopping health care premiums from doubling. But billionaires didn't have to wait for the tax breaks they didn't even need? Not OK. We need to get to work to save health care for Americans NOW.
The last three government shutdowns have happened while Donald Trump was President. This shutdown, like all recent shutdowns, is a REPUBLICAN SHUTDOWN. Enough with the chaos. Time for Republican leadership to work with Democrats to reopen government and save your health care.
Whenever Trump and Republicans talked about waste, fraud, and abuse, it was always projection. Donald Trump's government is the most wasteful, fraudulent, and corrupt administration in American history. This is just the tip of the iceberg.
I’m fighting to save health care for people like Leslie.   "[Without ACA tax credits], premiums would be $1,131/month. That's more than triple. And I'm telling you right now that's 25% of our combined income... It's simply not affordable. So, what are we going to do?"
JD Vance is outright LYING when he says Democrats are giving health care to illegal immigrants in our funding bill. How do I know? Because I wrote it! Undocumented immigrants are NOT eligible for federal health care programs. But our bill DOES stop your premiums from doubling next year.
After shutting down the government, House Republicans went on vacation all this week. Now they're on vacation ALL NEXT WEEK, TOO. It's absurd. No one should pretend Republicans care about reopening government or saving your health care.
Democrats are here working to reopen government & save health care. House Republicans aren't even in town, and Speaker Johnson is saying nothing we negotiate can be put into writing. That doesn't make sense. Yes it can. We are legislators. It's our job to WRITE laws.
It's sick, but not surprising, that Trump is trying to hurt people using his shutdown as a pretext for more mass firings. He's trying to hurt people, Democrats are trying to help people by reopening government and saving their health care. I know the people are on our side.
More blatant extortion attempts coming out of the White House this morning. Trump and Vought are targeting projects in blue states to punish their political opposition by hurting regular people. Everyone can see these crooks for what they are and none of us should be intimidated.
No President gets to dictate what schools teach. No college should be forced to support any political agenda or risk losing funding for cancer research.   It’s well past time for Republicans to join us—grow a spine—and oppose this latest illegal action to control our schools.
Telling Democrats "just give us your votes, talk to us later about health care" is NOT going to cut it. I'm saying NO. Premiums are set to more than DOUBLE. Republicans need to get serious about negotiations to reopen the government AND address the GOP health care crisis.
Democrats are here in the Capitol ready to reopen government AND stop health care premiums from more than doubling. This is a REPUBLICAN SHUTDOWN. Trump, Johnson, and Thune need to get serious about negotiating with Democrats if they want our votes.
Republicans will bend over backwards to pass tax breaks for billionaires. But stopping your premiums from doubling? They would rather shut down government than do that. And that's exactly what they are doing.
If the president fires a bunch of people, it’s not because of his shutdown—it’s because HE decided to fire them. People aren’t negotiating tools & it's sick that the president is treating federal workers like pawns. Making threats and choosing to hurt people won't win my vote.
Here are all the states Russ Vought announced just today he would be illegally stealing taxpayer dollars from. Have we ever had a President work so hard to hurt the people he represents? I'm not going to be intimidated by these crooks.
Republicans need to come to the table and get serious about negotiating an end to the GOP shutdown.   The question every Republican needs to answer is: How long do you want to hold the American people hostage because YOU don't want to fix the GOP health care crisis?
This is a naked attempt by Trump to punish the political opposition while illegally taking action to kill jobs and raise energy bills. If Trump thinks these ugly intimidation tactics will work, he's sorely mistaken. I'll be standing firm against this corrupt abuse of power.
Trump won't lift a finger when it comes to stopping your premiums from more than doubling. But he is just raring to go when it comes to firing whoever he wants to or prosecuting whoever he wants. He doesn't care about your health care, but Democrats are forcing the issue.
