This is a blatant attempt by the Trump administration to go after opponents by illegally withholding funds, killing jobs, and raising energy costs for red and blue states alike. If they think this is a winning strategy, they're dead wrong. I won't be swayed by corrupt abuses of power.

Let Me Be Blunt: Republicans just shut down the government.

Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock@warnock.senate.govOct 1(source)

I was sent this by a Georgian this morning. 2025 premiums vs 2026 premiums for someone making $65k a year. Republicans in Washington did this. This is what I'm fighting to stop. This is what’s at stake in this shutdown fight.

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govOct 1(source)

If Republicans were serious, they'd be listening to the people who are saying: 'please don't take away our care'. If Republicans were serious, they wouldn't stand by while health insurance premiums double. It's time for Republicans to get serious.

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govOct 1(source)

This morning, the federal government shut down because Republicans refused to negotiate. Premiums are set to double. 15 million Americans are losing their health insurance. All to protect their billionaire tax breaks. It's time for Republicans to come to the table.

BREAKING: Republicans just voted against a bill to fund government AND save your health care. Help make sure Americans know Republicans are SO determined to let premiums DOUBLE that they would rather SHUTDOWN the government than work to avert this crisis.

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govSep 30(source)

This President wants to shut down the government.

Take it from Mr. Art of the Deal, if there’s a shutdown, the president is to blame.

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govSep 30(source)

It's the President's job to keep the government open— President Trump said so himself. We can keep the government open and stop health care costs from rising even further, but only if he and congressional republicans are willing to negotiate.

The White House keeps saying this is about health care for immigrants. That’s an OUTRIGHT LIE and a blatant attempt to distract you from the fact that they’re trying to increase ALL our premiums – no matter what insurance you have.

Does this seem like an administration with any interest in keeping the government open? The Republican Trifecta sounds gleeful about causing a shutdown.

A U.S. government website, hud.gov, is now showing notices blaming "the radical left" for the looming shutdown

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govSep 30(source)

Why are Republicans lying to you? Because they voted to take health care away from 15 MILLION Americans, and raise YOUR premiums. Don't buy their lies. We're fighting to restore access to care and stop Republican price hikes.

Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.govSep 29(source)

Trump is absolutely right. He will own a Republican shutdown. Right now, Republicans are willing to shut down the government rather than solve the health care crisis they created. They want families to go bankrupt paying for health care. REPUBLICAN SHUTDOWN⬇️

Health insurance premiums could spike by nearly $300 a month for Minnesotans. Doesn’t take an economist to know most people can’t afford that.

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake.

Senator Mark Warner@markwarner.bsky.socialSep 29(source)

Democrats’ position is simple: lower costs, save rural health care, keep the government open. It shouldn’t be this hard. Let’s just repeal costly cuts to health care and save millions of Americans money.

Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester@bluntrochester.senate.govSep 29(source)

What's unreasonable about giving millions Americans back the health coverage Republicans took away? If the White House wants to 'be reasonable', they should come to the negotiating table.

This #NationalPublicLandsDay, I'm celebrating the beauty of Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge. Public lands like these belong to all of us. As the Trump administration tries to sell them off, we must stand strong and protect future generations' access to our natural heritage.

Everyone deserves a place of their own to call home. It's time congress took action to bring affordable rent and homeownership back within reach for working Americans.

Another day, another major investment at Delaware State University, it's no surprise they were just ranked #4 among public HBCUs! Partnerships like this give DSU students the skills they need to face the challenges of today & tomorrow. Proud to support all they do for DE's future leaders.

Your health care bill is about to explode. The notices will start arriving next month. A $7,000 bill could jump to $24,000. Democrats are fighting to stop this. Republicans are fighting to guarantee your costs go up. We need to fix this. Now.
