Tonight, Republicans failed again to fund the government—forcing a shutdown that will harm federal workers, servicemembers, and law enforcement who will now work without pay. All because President Trump and Republicans refuse to change course on rising health care costs for every American.
This isn't just insane, dangerous, and illegal – it's an insult to the U.S. armed forces. Our warfighters are the greatest fighting force in the world. Trump thinks they're more valuable running errands for DHS than competing with China.
JUST IN: Trump floats using U.S. cities as military "training grounds"
Republicans are lying about undocumented immigrants to distract from their real goal: taking away YOUR health care. 20 million Americans will see skyrocketing health insurance costs if Republicans choose to let ACA tax credits expire.
Bringing our nation's top military generals in from around the world and putting them in one place is a massive national security risk. If you're going to do that, you better have a hell of better reason for it than to spout off Twitter hashtags.
Hegseth: "Should our enemies choose foolishly to challenge us, they will be crushed by the violence, precision, and ferocity of the War Department. To our enemies, FAFO."
Today’s the last day to fund the government—and Republicans have thrown their hands up and done nothing to protect health care or ensure federal workers get paid.
Secretary Hegseth and President Trump pulled in hundreds of military leaders from front lines around the world and put them all in a room so he can lecture them about "toxic leadership" and grooming standards. We need a Defense Secretary focused on fighting real wars instead of culture wars.
Hegseth declared an end to "ideological garbage," citing concerns over climate change, bullying, "toxic" leaders and promotions based on race or gender as examples.
Why is the Trump administration bailing out Argentines and hedge funds while farmers watch their incomes evaporate and everyday Americans see healthcare costs spiraling upward?
To state the obvious: imported bathroom vanity cabinets are NOT a threat to our national security. Congress needs to act and stop these unjustified and self-destructive tariffs.
Doctors agree: Tylenol, vaccines, and mifepristone are safe and effective. Americans want the government to listen to science. Trump and RFK don't care about science—they just care about control.
Last year's government funding included tax credits for health care. A "clean" funding bill would keep those tax credits. It's not hard to understand, but Republicans are willing to shut the government down over it.
Instead of negotiating, the Trump admin is trying a different strategy: threaten to do something they’re already doing. While Republicans play games with federal workers’ lives, Democrats are fighting to restore health care for millions of Americans. We are not the same.
Trump’s tariffs aren’t just raising prices, they’re slowing down our economy. That’s bad news for workers who will lose their jobs, manufacturers who will sell less, and small businesses who will be forced to shut their doors.
All Trump’s cuts to food assistance have done are force more American kids and families to go hungry, and he knows it. Why else is he canceling USDA's report showing the impact of these awful cuts?
Those brought to America as children deserve stability and the knowledge that they won't be deported from the only country many of them have ever known. I'm proud to support the America's Children Act and to support Documented Dreamers on their immigration journey to become citizens of this country.
Last week, Senate Democrats' plan to keep the government open received more votes than Republicans' – but Trump's allies still blocked it. If the government shuts down, it's on them.
