I’ve been in Congress for shutdowns before, but this one is different. I’ve never witnessed a shutdown where the President of either party has told congressional leaders to not negotiate at all. He's choosing to raise health care costs for millions of families.

Q: Is any work being done on a Republican solution to the healthcare cliff? MIKE JOHNSON: When I say that Republicans have been working on a fix for healthcare, we've been doing this for years. We're doing right now what we have been doing.

Make no mistake: Republicans would come back to DC in a nanosecond if ending the shutdown meant more tax breaks for billionaires, handouts to big banks, or giveaways to the insurance industry. But some of us want to help regular, working people. I guess that’s a bridge too far.

Trump could ensure people don’t go hungry, he’s just choosing not to. Just like Speaker Johnson could bring House Republicans back to work to lower healthcare costs, he's just choosing not to. The American people don’t have the luxury to choose.
Trump administration won’t use contingency fund to pay November food stamp benefits | CNN Politics
The US Department of Agriculture says it will not tap into its $6 billion contingency fund to cover food stamp benefits next month, according to an agency memo obtained by CNN. That means that roughly...

23 years ago Minnesota lost one of its greatest champions. I think about Paul Wellstone often, especially these last several months. He was a true fighter for Minnesotans.

Moral of the story: If you don’t want Trump to send the military into the streets of your city, have a tech bro billionaire call him.

@merkley.senate.gov embodies strength and determination. He just spoke on the Senate floor for over 22 hours, standing up (both literally and figuratively!) for the American people. Well done, Jeff!

RFK Jr. said the Rural Health Transformation Program is the “biggest infusion of federal dollars into rural health care” in U.S. history. But rural areas will lose more in Medicaid cuts than they might gain from a new rural health program. kffhealthnews.org/news/article...
RFK Jr. Misses Mark in Touting Rural Health Transformation Fund as Historic Infusion of Cash - KFF Health News
The health secretary’s statement doesn’t consider the impact that the Medicaid cuts advanced in the same law will have on health care in rural America.

DHS says they “don’t arrest U.S. citizens for immigration enforcement.” But at least 170 Americans they’ve detained know that’s not true. Don’t ignore their stories. If Trump can detain citizens—including combat Veterans—for days without cause, no one is safe from his whims.

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear. At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them. By @nicolefoy.bsky.social

This Trump government shutdown is not like his last one.  That was about building a wall that Mexico was supposed to pay for.   This is about raising health care costs for millions of Americans.    It’s time to end the shutdown and fix the Republican-made health care crisis.
