Yesterday Trump and Vought announced they'll cancel infrastructure projects in states with Dem Senators. This is deeply corrupt.
Trump and Vought will raise electricity prices for millions of Americans and kill jobs including in districts represented by Republicans.

Russ Vought and Donald Trump claim they have new authority to continue and even increase their mass firings of federal workers during a shutdown.
Call it "DOGE 2.0."
But this is not true, not only do they not have more authority, they have less.
It is illegal, in fact.
Exclusive: Senior federal officials have quietly counseled several agencies against firing employees while the government is shut down — as President Trump has suggested he will — warning the strategy may violate appropriations law. https://wapo.st/46wAomW
Republicans are simply lying about this, again.
They are lying for a reason: 15 million people are going to lose health care because of the Republican tax law signed by Trump.
Many millions more are going to see huge health care cost increases very soon thanks to Republicans.
Via the Associated Press -- FACT FOCUS: Democrats did not shut down the government to give health care to ‘illegal immigrants’

More: Fact check: Trump falsely claims Democrats want to give free health care to ‘illegal aliens’ in government shutdown battle
www.cnn.com/2025/09/30/p...
"Republicans have been falsely asserting that Democrats are shutting down the government to fund free health care for unauthorized immigrants."
nytimes.com/2025/09/29/u...
"Unauthorized immigrants are largely barred from federally funded health care programs."
G’mar Chatima Tova! As the Jewish community observes Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, I wish you all a meaningful day of reflection – and an easy fast to those who are fasting.
During my telephone town hall last night, a constituent asked if Members of Congress get paid during a shutdown.
I told her yes they do because of the 27th Amendment, but I will have mine withheld for the duration of a shutdown in solidarity with federal workers.
Donald Trump's "special military operation" in Venezuela is a terrible idea.
He's going from murdering people on boats without charges or due process to what sounds like regime change by military force.
A "President of peace" doesn't start new, unwise, and unnecessary wars.
NEW: Sec. Rubio is leading a push to try to oust Maduro. The Pentagon has put 6,500 troops in the region and is drawing up possible operations against crime gangs in Venezuela. Opposition figures say they're talking to the US about plans. Gift link to our story: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/29/u...
America’s military leadership has more important things to do than listen to lectures on character from an unqualified drunk who assaults women.
Any soldier who was as careless as Hegseth was with war plans would be fired if not prosecuted.
And everyone in that room knows it.

Government funding runs out tomorrow.
Democrats are in DC, ready to vote for a budget that protects health care and lowers costs.
It's up to the GOP: will they join us in working for the American people?
If Republicans in Congress did not want rural health facilities to close, they should not have voted to cut this funding.
Lying about it now will not undo their Medicaid cuts, only their votes can. 7/7
Republicans, however, are claiming that Democratic legislation is a “cut” to rural hospitals because it replaces their $50 billion “rural health fund” with fully restored Medicaid funding.
This is a lie. They voted to cut rural health, and they know it. 6/
Republicans and Trump Administration officials at federal health agencies are calling their temporary rural health fund “the largest investment in rural healthcare in history.”
This “investment” is an $87B funding cut! 5/
The full impact of the bill’s Medicaid cuts, however, includes an estimated $137B in cuts to rural areas.
Their “rural health fund” doesn't restore anywhere near the funding they voted to cut from rural areas. And the cuts are permanent, whereas the fund is temporary. 4/
Some Republicans were concerned that these cuts would lead to widespread closures of rural hospitals.
To win their votes, Republican leadership added a temporary $50B “rural health fund” to offset some cuts in rural areas, which expires in five years. 3/

Their Big Ugly Bill, H.R.1, was enacted and signed into law by President Trump and cuts an estimated $911 billion from Medicaid.
This is the largest cut to Medicaid since the program was created and these cuts are permanent. 2/
As the government funding deadline nears, Republicans are lying about their Big Ugly Bill’s massive Medicaid cuts and harm to rural hospitals.
They refuse to meet or negotiate to stop the impending health care premium hikes.
Here's the truth: 1/
More mob boss-style extortion from Trump, but this threat is just to continue the harm they're already inflicting on the country.
Trump and Vought want to manipulate federal workers and the public into blaming others for the mass firings they're carrying out.
www.politico.com/news/2025/09...
These phony charges demanded by Trump as an act of vengeance are a direct assault on the rule of law in the United States, and an act of staggering corruption.
Donald Trump is the most corrupt president in American history, and it isn't close.
