The American people deserve responsible legislation that ends the shutdown, prevents skyrocketing increases in health care costs, ensures our public servants receive the pay and protections they are legally owed, and upholds the Constitution.

But the larger legislation remains deeply flawed.
In addition to not addressing the health care affordability crisis, it fails to address President Trump’s illegal infringement upon Congress’s constitutional authority over federal spending or rein in his administration’s lawlessness.

This legislation includes provisions to reverse recent RIFs, reinstate federal workers who were wrongfully terminated during the shutdown, and prevent further RIFs through January 30. Should this continuing resolution become law, these protections must be rigorously enforced.

President Trump prolonged the shutdown and intentionally made it worse for the American people. He illegally fired public servants, illegally withheld government assistance that helps millions buy groceries, and threatened to deny federal employees the back pay they are legally owed.

I have said from the beginning that my goal is to end the shutdown in a way that protects Americans from skyrocketing health care costs, and this bill fails that test.

The Senate’s proposed continuing resolution, which would extend current levels of government funding through January 30 while failing to address the expiration of critical health care tax credits under the Affordable Care Act that help millions of Americans afford health insurance.
1/
I will be voting no on the proposed continuing resolution in the U.S. House.
Republican leaders have turned their backs on Americans facing rising health care costs and refuse to address the affordability crisis their own policies created.
My statement:
The Trump Administration is intentionally stopping flights at airports across the country. They continue to make life harder for the American people because they refuse to come to the table to negotiate a deal to reopen the government. Shameful.

Voters in Virginia and across the country just sent a clear message.

During Trump’s shutdown, ICE oversight staff were furloughed—leaving detention facilities uninspected & lives at risk. At least 20 people have died in ICE custody this year.
@markwarner.bsky.social, @beyer.house.gov, @repsuhas.bsky.social, & I are demanding DHS reinstate them now.

Consumer sentiment has sunk to a near-record low, a closely watched University of Michigan survey shows.

"I don't want to hear about affordability."
Says the president who promised to lower costs on Day 1.
60% of households are unable to afford the basics — and he just doesn’t care.
We always said the law required Trump to keep SNAP going using the funding Congress provided.
He just didn't want to.
Now he's filing an *appeal* to try to deny food to 42 million Americans, using the shutdown as a pretext.
As he holds lavish parties with his wealthy friends.
“I don't want to hear about the affordability.”
Trump is globe-trotting, holding lavish parties, focusing on a ballroom while health care and electricity costs skyrocket and his tariffs drive up grocery prices.
“I don't want to hear about the affordability.”
He does not care.
Donald Trump and Republicans have repeatedly made life harder for the American people during this shutdown.
They should try helping them instead, and work with Democrats to lower health care costs for millions of Americans.
That's what the American people are asking for.
Nancy Pelosi is a major figure in American history.
She’s more than a barrier breaker, she is one of our most brilliant and accomplished leaders, who repeatedly overcame steep odds to deliver results that changed people’s lives for the better.
Happy retirement, Madam Speaker.
The American people do not want a king, they want leaders who care about them and solve their problems, which is the kind of governor Virginians see in Abigail Spanberger.

We have made clear that they will not do so unopposed, and the opposition will only gain strength and momentum from these powerful results.
11/
Rather than address these issues, Republicans have chosen to run cover for a deeply unpopular president as he makes life worse for average Americans and engages in some of the most blatant corruption ever seen in this country.
10/
This is a broader economic and governance issue that activated and energized many people who are not employed by the federal government, and continues to reverberate in places far from Washington.
