Donald Trump is playing politics with Texas' National Guardsmen and women — and they won't even get paid because of Trump's shutdown. I joined Texas veterans in front of the Texas National Guard headquarters to say: enough.

NEW: House Republicans are "arguing they need to let troop pay lapse."
They aren't even showing up to work, and they're pressuring Trump to make sure our men and women in uniform miss a paycheck.
All so they can cut health care for millions.
Outrageous.

Here’s what the Democratic Party is fighting for in this shutdown: a country where you can afford to live, afford health care, and don't get your money taken away by a billionaire.
📅 TOMORROW: Join me for our next Tele-Town Hall on Wednesday at 5:30PM CT!
I’ll take your questions on the government shutdown, the fight for health care, and more.

From Epstein to health care cuts, it's all one story.
Republicans are running a billionaire protection racket.
Why were there no cameras when Donald Trump met with Democratic leaders about the shutdown?
Because Trump doesn't want people to know about the fight over health care.
House Republicans have taken a page out of Cancun Ted Cruz's playbook. They're not showing up for work because they don't want to answer questions about taking away your health care.

America is barreling toward a health care disaster.
Trump and Republicans shut the government down to rip out the brakes:
❌ 15 million lose coverage
⬆️ 20 million see premiums spike
💸 Families pay $10,000+ more a year
All to give billionaires tax cuts.
Let’s talk about the people in Mike Johnson's district who'll have to pay $16,000 more a year for health care if he gets his way.
Just so the richest people on earth can get tax breaks.
Flashbangs and helicopters in the dead of night, targeting our homes. Children zip-tied and separated from their families. Some reportedly naked.
How does this cruelty make us a stronger nation?
This isn’t “law and order.” This is authoritarian chaos.
New data shows the cost of Republican plan to jack up health care prices:
– Premiums will more than double
– A 60 year old couple would have to pay $22,600 more a year
Trump and Republicans shut down the government to gut health care for working Americans.
In my district alone, Republican cuts to Medicaid and the ACA would lead to 43,000 people losing coverage.
They’re wrecking health care just so billionaires can get tax cuts.
I am grateful to the humanitarians on this flotilla, including Austinite Greg Stoker, who attempted to deliver desperately needed aid to Gaza.
They must be immediately and safely released by Israeli authorities. End the blockade and genocide now.
My message during this Trump-manufactured shutdown is simple:
Health care over billionaires.
I’m fighting to reopen the government and save health care.
Why are Ted Cruz and John Cornyn fighting to raise Texans’ health care costs?
My office is open and working hard to help Texans navigate the shutdown.
My team and I put together a webpage which we’ll regularly update, with answers to the most common questions.
Visit casar.house.gov/government-shutdown or call our office for assistance.
Here are three more factual statements:
1. 25,000 of Mike Johnson's constituents are about to lose health care
2. 27,000 more are about to have their premiums skyrocket.
3. A 60 year old couple in his district would pay $19,000 more a year.
There's more mentions of Donald Trump in the Epstein Files than there are House Republicans in D.C. to keep the government open.
