When Donald Trump heard about Democratic policies to save health care, he apparently said, "Go F**k Yourself." Premiums are set to double. People will lose their health insurance. Republicans are shutting down the government because they don't care about this health care crisis.
It's midnight in D.C., and the government has officially shut down.   Why? Because Republicans don't even want to TALK about how to stop your premiums from doubling.   This is a REPUBLICAN SHUTDOWN. Make sure everyone knows it.
Republicans keep saying, "WAIT" we can talk about health care premiums later. WHEN is later? Health care rates for next year are being finalized RIGHT NOW. Rate hikes will be in the mail any day. Open enrollment is weeks away. Don't tell us to wait. We need action NOW.
I guess not every deranged and unfit Trump nominee can get confirmed, even through this Republican Senate majority. We shouldn't put all our hopes on Republicans, but it matters when we all speak out against nominees as unqualified as E.J. Antoni.
I just voted NO on the Republican funding bill that does NOTHING to address premiums more than doubling next year. Republicans REFUSED to negotiate with Democrats and now they're forcing a shutdown rather than working with us to fix the health care crisis THEY created.
BREAKING: Republicans just voted against a bill to fund government AND save your health care. Help make sure Americans know Republicans are SO determined to let premiums DOUBLE that they would rather SHUTDOWN the government than work to avert this crisis.
Just a few short hours to fund the government, and House Republicans aren't even in town—they're on vacation. Republicans don't care. Republicans and Trump are shutting down the government rather than working with Democrats to fix the health care crisis THEY created.
If it seems like the only sentence that Republicans can form these days consists of a noun, verb, and illegal immigrant—that’s because they have to resort to outright lies to defend their truly God-awful health care policies. But lying can't hide the truth when premiums double.
SPREAD THE WORD: Republicans are really shutting down the government because they want you to pay more than TWICE as much for health care next year. Congress must address the GOP health care crisis. We can't let families lose health care because of this.
Trump is shutting down the government because he doesn't care if you go bankrupt paying for health care. It’s wrong, but he's right about one thing: he'll own the Republican shutdown. “I actually think the president would be blamed if there is a shutdown."
I just voted against a GOP bill that gives up Congress's power over spending. Instead of working with Democrats to stop premiums from DOUBLING next year, Republicans are sending us straight into a shutdown—and pushing bills to give up their own power and hand it over to Trump.
Just finished some meetings here in the Capitol tonight. Where do things stand? Republicans are still pushing a shutdown, all because they think working together to keep your premiums from doubling is unreasonable. Republicans do not care if you can afford health care.
Trump wants to force a painful Republican shutdown rather than work with Democrats to save your health care. Premiums are set to double thanks to Trump’s inaction. Why do Republicans want Americans to go bankrupt over basic health care?
Trump is absolutely right. He will own a Republican shutdown. Right now, Republicans are willing to shut down the government rather than solve the health care crisis they created. They want families to go bankrupt paying for health care. REPUBLICAN SHUTDOWN⬇️
WA state had an uninsured rate of 15% before the Affordable Care Act. Now it's 5%. When Trump cuts Medicaid & sabotages the ACA, that means people go uninsured, people put off care, get sick, and even die. This is just reality. That's why I'm fighting to save health care.
Here's 1:11 minutes of deranged rambling from an honest to god press conference held by the President of the United States. To future moms, talk to your doctors—not the guy telling you to "tough it out" during your pregnancy.
Portland is a beautiful and vibrant city—it is not a war zone.     The President needs to keep the military out of the Pacific Northwest.   This is yet another abuse of power. Leaders across America—in government, business, everywhere—need to push back.
Trump says he’s authorized Hegseth to use “Full Force” against Antifa in “War ravaged” Portland
At the request of Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, I am directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists. I am also authorizing Full Force, if necessary. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Trump is launching an authoritarian takeover of Portland hoping to provoke conflict in my hometown. I urge Oregonians to reject Trump’s attempt to incite violence in what we know is a vibrant and peaceful city. I will do everything in my power to protect the people in our state.
BREAKING: Trump says he'll send troops to Portland, Oregon, as he expands military deployments in U.S. cities.
