President Trump would rather shut down the government than protect Americans' health care. It's time for my Republican colleagues to stop bowing to Trump's demands & work with Democrats to find a bipartisan solution that puts Americans' needs first.

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake.

These people have found their health care at the center of a shutdown showdown

Small business owners, self-employed people and early retirees are among the 24 million Americans who could lose the tax credit

@reed.senate.gov blasts President Trump over indictment of former FBI director James Comey, saying, “He is seeking vengeance to settle a personal grudge. We are supposed to be a nation of laws in which criminal investigations are conducted impartially."

We’ve got to create more high-quality housing so people can afford to live in communities where they work. Presley Apartments in Warwick converted an old Sheraton Hotel property into 190 new homes for firefighters, nurses, teachers, & working RIers.

Democrats’ plan to keep the government open & working for the American people got more votes than the Republican plan. But Donald Trump still refuses to negotiate. The ball is in his court. If he doesn’t step up to lead, then Trump will own the shutdown.

It’s a fact: Trump’s chaotic policies and unforced errors are driving up prices & inflation and eating an outsize portion of Americans’ paychecks.

From electricity to rent, monthly bills are tipping the inflation scale

Housing, health care, food and utility prices are outpacing inflation and taking an outsize share of Americans’ paychecks.
