Our job is to legislate. But as the clock ticks toward a shutdown, Republicans have left town.
Democrats are here, ready to prevent premiums from spiking and safeguard critical care, while Republicans hide from their duties.

TUNE IN: @RepJeffries and House Democrats are going live for 24 hours as we fight to protect Americans' health care and keep the government open. www.youtube.com/live/2dm-OKj...
My message will remain the same. Free speech is not negotiable.
We must make clear that no administration can punish broadcasters for their viewpoints.
Because the effects are both national and local. The proposed $6.2 billion Nexstar–Tegna merger would put FOX 40 and ABC 10 under one massive umbrella—threatening newsroom diversity and local accountability.
From Sacramento to Washington, D.C., I am sounding the alarm on the Trump Administration’s censorship campaign and calling for the passage of my Broadcast Freedom and Independence Act.
I joined @blumenthal.senate.gov and @warren.senate.gov to further highlight Trump’s abuse of power.
Republicans gutted Medicaid. Now they’ve set their sights on the ACA tax credits that help millions afford coverage.
If they succeed, premiums will soar and families will be stuck paying thousands more.
When costs go up, it’s not by accident. It’s by Republican design.
Our demand is simple: prevent health care premiums from skyrocketing for millions of American families.
Yet on the eve of a shutdown, House Republicans are out of town.
Democrats are in Washington, ready to keep the government open and protect affordable health care.
My Broadcast Freedom and Independence Act makes it crystal clear that no administration can punish broadcasters for their viewpoints. Period.
The ACLU is with us. Communities in Sacramento and across the country are with us. And I promise you this—I will not relent.
Together, we will make sure our most fundamental freedoms are protected from the actions of a corrupt administration. The time to pass my Broadcast Freedom and Independence Act is NOW!
Today I was joined by Jenna Leventoff from the @aclu.org and Sacramento Library Director and CEO Peter Coyle to discuss the Trump Administration's attacks on our 1st Amendment rights.
Now we must pass my Broadcast Freedom and Independence Act so this never happens again. [2/2]
Nexstar and Sinclair have folded under the pressure of OUR voices. Jimmy Kimmel will be on the air across the nation, as it should have always been.
This proves that the most effective way to defend our rights is to exercise them. [1/2]
Silencing dissent. Intimidating the press. Abusing power. Donald Trump and FCC Chair Carr are relentlessly attacking the 1st Amendment.
I’m teaming up with the @ACLUand local advocates to pass my Broadcast Freedom and Independence Act and protect free speech.
Nexstar has made its priorities clear: silencing Jimmy Kimmel to stay in the FCC’s good graces while chasing a multi-billion-dollar merger.
Sacramento deserves better. A company that silences dissent under political pressure is not worthy of a bigger footprint in our community.
Threatening mass firings rather than negotiating to keep the government open is reckless and cruel. We can keep the government open, protect workers, extend the ACA Tax Credits, and lower health care costs this week with a bipartisan agreement.
My Broadcast Freedom and Independence Act would stop this abuse of power. [2/2]
I’m glad Jimmy Kimmel is back on air with the freedom to speak his mind, but that doesn’t change the fact that this never should have happened.
Chairman Carr has weaponized the FCC into a government censorship machine, leaning on broadcasters and silencing critics. That is unacceptable. [1/2]
Now, they have their eye on the Affordable Care Act tax credits that keep vital coverage within reach. Letting them lapse is a deliberate health care cost increase.
Republicans must come to the table, extend the ACA tax credits, keep the government open, and put the people first. [2/2]
Republicans have launched a full-scale assault on the health care of everyday Americans.
They have already made the largest cut to Medicaid in American history. [1/2]
No student should ever have to choose between completing a degree and meeting basic survival needs. Centers like this demonstrate why investing in student success at the federal level is so critical to building a stronger, healthier, and more resilient future for Sacramento. [2/2]
