Congressional Republicans and the Trump Administration would rather shut the government down than address the health care crisis they created.
I joined @zerlinamornings.bsky.social this morning to share why Democrats are fighting to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance.

We now find ourselves in a government shutdown. What does that mean? How will this affect you? Where can you go for help?
Visit my webpage for FAQs, guidance and more.
Tune in to @zerlinamornings.bsky.social at 8:15 AM ET as we discuss the government shutdown!
Wishing all who observe a day of meaningful reflection and renewal as Yom Kippur begins this blessed evening. G’mar chatimah tovah.
Watch the full segment here:
At midnight, the federal government shut down as funding ran out.
I spoke with @12onyourside.com about what’s at stake, as Congressional Democrats stand ready to pass a budget that meets the needs of the American people without gutting their health care.
Reposted byRep. Jennifer McClellan
“This president and Republicans who control the House and Senate got elected promising to lower costs, and from day one have done everything but."
@mcclellan.house.gov: "We are fighting to lower your costs, including energy, healthcare, and get our federal workers back to work as soon as possible.”
Join me at exactly midnight when the shutdown goes into effect with the @cbc.house.gov as we discuss what a government shutdown means for you — and how @housedemocrats.bsky.social are fighting back.
My House Democratic colleagues and I remain in Washington ready to negotiate a bipartisan funding bill that ensures the well-being of every American and addresses the health care crisis.
I urge Republicans to return to Washington and work with us to do just that and end their shutdown.
From a March extension that hurt vulnerable populations to the Big Ugly Law that ripped health care and food assistance from millions and now this shutdown, Republicans decided they would rather raise health care premiums, shut down the government and lay off our federal workforce than take action.
From day one of the 119th Congress, Democrats have stood ready to craft bipartisan funding legislation that meets the needs of the American people, just as we did in December.
Republicans have rejected us at every turn.
Hundreds of thousands of Virginians will lose their health insurance due to Medicaid cuts in the Republicans’ Big Ugly Law and their refusal to extend the ACA enhanced tax credits. Health care costs will rise and providers will close or cut services.
This goes beyond insulting — it’s cruel.
In Virginia, our economy and communities will be hit hard by this shutdown. As the state with the second highest number of federal employees, we will see workers unsure when to expect their next paycheck, small businesses waiting on loans to process and families worried about what the future holds.
Republicans control both chambers of Congress and the White House. They had every tool at their disposal to avoid a government shutdown.
Yet their actions have caused immense uncertainty for millions of Americans, amidst a health care and affordability crisis of their own making. 🧵
House Republicans are nowhere to be found as government funding runs out at midnight.
I joined @demwomencaucus.bsky.social Chair @fernandez.house.gov to answer your questions about the looming government shutdown.
This month’s episode of Moments with McClellan features @repwalkinshaw.bsky.social!
Watch us discuss his first two weeks, favorite late-night snacks and more.
We have less than 72 hours before government funding runs out and we face a shutdown at midnight on October 1st. Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought threatened more mass federal employee layoffs if the government shuts down.

I got the chance to sit down and get to know our newest member of Congress and a new face to the Virginia delegation: @repwalkinshaw.bsky.social!
Stay tuned for our conversation about our friend Gerry Connolly, late nights in Washington and raising young kids in Congress!
