Just a reminder that Speaker Johnson is keeping the government shut down to stop the release of the Epstein files.
Democrats stand ready to lower health costs, reopen the government, & deliver justice for Epstein's victims.
Speaker Johnson must stop dodging scandals & start delivering solutions.

Instead of working with Democrats to bring down costs, Republicans would rather keep the government shut down and side with their billionaire donors.
This a direct attack on our seniors and we must speak out.
Medicare open enrollment begins today, but health insurance premiums and deductibles are skyrocketing because Trump and Republicans refuse to prioritize affordable health care.
What happened to putting the American people first?
Trump & Congressional Republicans have decided that using $20 billion of taxpayer funds to bail out Trump's friends in Argentina is more important than working with Democrats to reopen the government.
Health insurance costs rising. Federal workers going unpaid. Food assistance programs running dry.
Immigrants are and always have been what makes our country great.
We will not be intimidated by the wannabe dictator in the White House, and we will not stand by as our community is ravaged.
No human being is illegal.
Chicago lost an icon.
Sister Jean embodied the heart and soul of Loyola and gave our city endless joy, wisdom, warmth, and unwavering faith.
Her legacy will live on in every life she touched. May her memory be a blessing.
Loyola University Chicago is greatly saddened to confirm the death of Sister Jean Dolores Schmidt, BVM. This is a tremendous loss of someone who touched the lives of so many people. We appreciate everyone’s thoughts & prayers during this difficult time. For more information: https://bit.ly/4o7eIUk
Speaker Johnson is so fearful of the Epstein files, he's willing to force our hardworking servicemembers to go without pay.
Democrats are ready to work with Republicans to lower health care costs, reopen the government, and pay our servicemembers.
This is on you, Speaker Johnson.
Speaker Johnson is running from the Epstein files.
Instead of keeping the government shut down to protect pedophiles, Republicans should come to the table with Democrats to lower health costs, reopen the government, & deliver justice for Epstein's victims.
Speaker Johnson, ball’s in your court.
My top priorities remain bringing the hostages home now, ending the violence once and for all, and bringing long-term peace, justice, and security to Israelis and Palestinians alike.
Often, fleeing homes and communities turned to rubble, living in fear and struggling to survive.
The human cost of this war is staggering, and it must end now.
My heart aches for those who were killed on October 7th and their loved ones who mourn their loss; for the hostages and their families who have endured an incomprehensible suffering; and for the thousands of innocent Palestinian families caught in the ensuing war that have lost those dear to them.
Two years ago, the world saw the worst perpetration of violence inflicted on the Jewish people since the Holocaust.
The ICE raids taking place in our communities and the deployment of the National Guard to Chicago are not at all about public safety. They are about political theater.
We will not let Trump get away with this. Not in Chicago. Not anywhere. Not now. Not ever.
We will not be bullied by a wannabe tyrant and his Republican lapdogs. I look forward to voting for a budget that extends health care tax credits and protects families from rising health insurance rates. Republicans know where to find us - our door is open.
The President of the United States is supposed to serve ALL Americans, but it is clear that Trump is either unwilling or unable to do so. This is money that has been appropriated by the United States Congress. The Executive Branch has no authority to intervene.
This unconstitutional action is more proof that Donald Trump and Republicans are more interested in petty political retribution than lowering health care costs for Americans.
Yom Kippur calls on us to reflect, repent, and recommit to justice.
Wishing a meaningful and easy fast to all who observe.
Let us all strive to build a more compassionate, equitable world. G’mar Chatima Tovah.
I will vote for a bipartisan bill to open the government that protects families from rising health care costs, but I will not rubber stamp a Republican proposal that continues tax breaks to their wealthy donors while families pay more to visit the doctor.
