Make no mistake: Republicans are in power, and with that power comes the responsibility of fixing the health care crisis they created. It’s past time that my Republican colleagues come to the negotiation table instead of running away from it.

Vulnerable communities are running out of food assistance, federal workers are being stretched thin, and Americans everywhere are about to be hit with devastatingly high health care costs.
Is Speaker Johnson that bad at math, or does he not understand how leadership works? Either way, this is a complete abdication of responsibility as the consequences of this shutdown become more dire.
Just yesterday, the Speaker claimed that Republicans don’t have control of the government. Last I checked, Republicans have the majority in the House and Senate — not to mention, the White House.
It’s Day 28 of the Republican shutdown, and Speaker Mike Johnson seems to be confused about who’s really in charge.
He’s not listening to the American people or working to solve the problems he created. Instead, he’s tearing down the People’s House to play king. The American people and our democracy deserve better.
While federal workers struggle to make ends meet and millions risk losing their health care, Trump remains fixated on luxury projects and personal vanity.
Karoline Levitt said the quiet part out loud: Donald Trump’s top priority isn’t reopening the government or lowering costs for working families – it’s building a ballroom for himself.
He can find $40 billion to bail out Argentina and $300 million for a ballroom to entertain his billionaire friends and donors, but he won’t use emergency funds to keep Americans from going hungry? That’s not America First – that’s Trump First!
Trump and Congressional Republicans already slashed $186 billion from SNAP in their Big Ugly Bill – the largest cut to food assistance in our nation’s history. Now, Trump has the money and the power to keep SNAP funded through November. He’s just making the cruel choice not to.
It’s Day 27 of the Republican shutdown – and 42 million children and families could go hungry this month, not because we can’t afford to help them, but because Donald Trump won’t.
That’s why I’m continuing to push for a bipartisan agreement to reopen the government and extend the enhanced premium tax credits to protect affordable health care and ensure every veteran and hardworking American can get the care they need, when they need it.
Our servicemembers and veterans have sacrificed so much for our country, and they deserve stability and support, not political games.
I recently met with the Veteran Collaborative of Ventura County to discuss how the shutdown is affecting veterans and their families – from delayed benefits to uncertainty about health care access.
Even as the Republican government shutdown continues, my office remains open and ready to serve the people of Ventura County and the Conejo Valley.
We should be standing with the farmworkers who feed us – not scapegoating them.

In Ventura County, agriculture is woven into our history and drives our local economy – and we know that when you target the people who harvest our crops, shelves go empty and every family pays the price.
The Trump administration doesn’t care that its anti-immigrant agenda and crusade of cruelty are hurting American farmers, driving up grocery prices, and threatening our food supply.
It’s time for them to stop serving one man and start serving the country. Every day this shutdown drags on, working families across the country face rising health care costs and growing uncertainty. They deserve better.
Once again, Trump is focused on revenge and self-enrichment, not on lowering costs for the American people. And once again, Congressional Republicans are letting him get away with it.
