Republicans shut down the government because they don’t want people to be able to afford health care.
Now, they’re firing patriotic civil servants because what? They don’t want Americans to have jobs?!
This will hurt countless Americans who rely on government services.

Despite Republicans’ refusal to reopen the government, we were able to pass our ROAD to Housing Act last night. This is a huge win on the path towards making home ownership a staple of the American dream again.
Join me next Thursday for a Utilities Fair at Coppin State!
I am looking forward gathering with our community to offer help, information, and guidance about utility concerns during this deeply challenging time for Marylanders.
Please RSVP here: forms.gle/yL4VbNc6yeBL...
I welcome the news that the parties have agreed to the first steps towards a ceasefire. The path forward requires returning the remaining hostages home and surging humanitarian aid throughout Gaza. I pray talks continue and that more steps will be taken towards a lasting peace.
This Administration wants to repurpose our government to benefit the billionaires.
And only the billionaires.
That’s why Republicans shut down the government and want to raise your health care costs.
Already overburdened air traffic controllers and TSA agents are required to work without pay right now.
This Republican shutdown is wrecking our economy and making Marylanders less safe.
I joined Team Maryland at BWI Airport to urge Republicans to reopen the government.
With Republicans in charge, a couple in Salisbury, Maryland will pay $1,100 more per month for health care.
We can't afford to live like this.
The law is unequivocal: All furloughed and essential federal workers must receive back pay in the event of a government shutdown.
It is a sick thing for Republicans to shut down the government and then stiff the people who work hard for the American people.
We all must continue working toward a return of the hostages, the delivery and distribution of humanitarian aid in Gaza, an end to the war, and a region that can live in safety and peace.
Two years ago, Hamas launched a horrific attack on Israel. Today, we hold in our hearts the victims and pray for their loved ones.

🚨STARTING NOW: As we enter another week of Trump's shutdown, @alsobrooks.senate.gov and I are hosting a telephone town hall with Marylanders to discuss our fight to reopen the government and prevent a health care crisis in America.
Tune in: www.vanhollen.senate.gov/live
I’m fighting to lower Marylanders' health care costs.
Republicans want nothing to do with that. So they shut down the government.
Trump has been trying to shut down this government from the moment he took office.
Team Maryland will keep working for you.
We won't back up, and we won't back down.
Gmar Chatima Tova to all observing Yom Kippur in Maryland and throughout the world.
I am wishing you all a meaningful, peaceful, and easy fast.
Republicans control the White House, and they have majorities in the Senate and House.
And now, after Republicans wrecked our economy, they have to shut down the government.
It's cruel. It's callous. And it's incompetent.
Republicans have the keys to the kingdom.
The White House. The Senate. The House.
Tonight, they have used their power to shut down the government.
The American people, including our patriotic federal workers, will pay the price for Republicans' callousness and incompetence.
Thank you to the amazing women of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. for allowing me to speak with you all for your Congressional Day on the Hill.
In this season, we must lean on each other, fight for each other, and protect each other. And know, I will always fight for you.
Proud to join my friend Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth in introducing the Help FEDS Act. This legislation would ensure that if Republicans shut down the government, our civil servants - in Maryland and across the country - have financial support.
This Administration’s witch hunt against federal workers in this country is a stain that will stick to our country for generations to come.
Trump continues to attack them in his attempt to shut down the government.
