Federal workers have or are at risk missing of a paycheck. We must open the government, protect healthcare & lower costs, and get federal workers paid immediately.
I organized a virtual Government Shutdown Resource Fair to connect federal workers with community resources to meet their basic needs.

The Republican shutdown is driving up health care costs, with families getting notices of major premium hikes. I'm fighting to reopen the government and extend Affordable Care Act tax credits to prevent your health care costs from skyrocketing.
I want to hear your story at Ruiz.House.Gov/Shutdown
That’s why I’m hosting a virtual Government Shutdown Resource Fair to connect you with local partners providing food assistance, financial support, county resources, and more.

As the government shutdown continues, I understand the challenges many federal workers are facing, missing paychecks and struggling to meet essential needs like housing, groceries, gas, utilities, and mental health support.
I brought together Federal Labor Union Leaders & Community Resource Leaders to coordinate support for federal workers during the shutdown.
House Republicans refuse to go back to work, open the government, & protect health care, I am focused on safeguarding federal workers’ overall well-being.

TO ALL FEDERAL WORKERS: if you were illegally fired today and have information of wrongdoing or abuse of power by the Trump Administration, our whistleblower tip line is open.
We want to hear from you. All whistleblowers are federally protected.
Airports are facing delays as TSA & air traffic controllers go without pay. This isn’t about flight schedules, it’s about people’s livelihoods.
Republicans need to stop the games, & instead come to the table to open the government, protect health care, & prevent health care costs from skyrocketing.
I value the health of working families. The bottom line is: Republicans would rather see tax breaks for billionaires than provide health care to those who need it most.
I’m working to get Congress back to work and prevent massive hikes in health care costs.
As Hurricane Priscilla approaches, here’s how you can stay safe:
📡 Monitor weather updates
🏠 Secure your home
🚫 Avoid flood-prone areas
🛟 Check on family, friends & neighbors
🧰 Prepare emergency supplies
Your safety is my top priority. Follow local guidance & stay alert!
The math doesn’t add up. Republicans cut $600 billion for hospitals and clinics, then called $50 billion for rural hospitals a “win.”
I’m fighting to protect the funding our rural hospitals need to keep care within reach.
Undocumented immigrants aren’t eligible to participate in ACA, receive tax credits, or co-share programs. It’s already the law & that’s not the issue right now.
We need to reopen the government, protect health care, & prevent the hikes in costs for everyone if we do not extend the ACA Tax Credits.
The war must end, hostages must be released, and unobstructed aid needs to be delivered by neutral and independent humanitarian organizations to save innocent lives.
The horrific terrorist attacks by Hamas on October 7 were an assault on our shared humanity. For two years, this conflict has caused immense suffering for civilians in Gaza and Israel.
Congress needs to get back to work: to reopen the government, protect health care, and stop health care costs from skyrocketing.
Instead, Republicans and Speaker Johnson just cancelled work next week. Shutdowns are serious with working people paying the price.
During the shutdown, many federal workers are going without pay & struggling with the cost of groceries. I met with My City Youth in #Hemet to discuss their food distribution program as a resource.
I will continue to work to reopen the government, protect health care, & prevent costs from rising.
I’m pleased to report the news about Geraldine’s safe return to the U.S. from Israel as soon as tomorrow.
Some families in our communities could see their health premiums rise by $1,500 a month, $18,000 a year, if Republicans refuse to extend Affordable Care Act tax credits.
I’m working to reopen the government, protect your health care, and prevent costs from skyrocketing.
This government shutdown isn’t just about a line item in a budget. It’s about you, your families, and the everyday struggles our communities face.
I know that, which is why I’m working to open the government, protect your health care, and prevent rising health care costs.
I’m taking a few moments during this busy fight to open the government, protect health care, and to recognize the physicians who care for their patients and defend Medicaid. That’s why today we honor #NationalLatinoandLatinaPhysicianDay.
I met with David, AFGE labor leader, to ensure those affected by the shutdown can access resources for basic expenses. They’re struggling with rising costs & delayed paychecks make it harder.
That’s why I’m working to open the government, protect your health care, & stop the massive premium hikes.
