“I work hard, and I’m trying to survive and do it the right way and pay my way,” explained Chrissy from PA, who relies on Pennie for health care coverage. She is just one of 24 million Americans who are going to see their premiums skyrocket if congressional Republicans don’t act NOW. 📸: AP

As I said when I rallied with @phillyaflcio.bsky.social and AFGE - the only way to end this federal shutdown, paying ALL federal employees and contractors, and end the looming shutdown of health care for millions is for congressional Republicans to work with Democrats!

Today is supposed to be payday for many federal workers. But thanks to the #GOPShutdown, nearly 1.4 million civilian employees across the country are going without pay.

It's supposed to be payday for many federal workers. Instead, they're getting nothing

Roughly 1.4 million federal workers are going without pay due to the government shutdown. About half of them are furloughed, while the other half has been deemed essential and is working without pay.

Why is Speaker Johnson STILL waiting to swear in Rep.-elect Grijalva, the 218th and final signer needed to force a vote on the #EpsteinFiles? What is in them? Who is he protecting?? Why is he denying a voice in Congress to over 800,000 Americans in Arizona?

Pennsylvanians are already feeling the effects of this government shutdown and the looming health care crisis. Pennsylvania House Democrats stand united in calling on the Speaker to end House Republicans' paid vacation and bring us all back to work in DC. Why won't PA Republicans join us?

Pennsylvania's 7 House Democrats Urge Republican Colleagues to Join Call for Speaker Johnson to Bring House Back into Voting Session
Representatives Dwight Evans, Brendan F. Boyle (PA-02), Madeleine Dean (PA-04), Mary Gay Scanlon (PA-05), Chrissy Houlahan (PA-06), Summer Lee (PA-12), and Chris Deluzio (PA-17) issued the following statement:
“Every day this Republican shutdown drags on, the harm to Pennsylvania families grows deeper. We urge our 10 Republican House colleagues from Pennsylvania to join us in calling on Speaker Mike Johnson to bring the House back to Washington. We stand ready to work together on a bipartisan solution that reopens the government and protects affordable health care for Pennsylvanians in all 17 congressional districts who now face skyrocketing premiums or the loss of coverage altogether.”

Congressman Dwight Evans@repdwightevans.bsky.socialOct 24(source)

Let’s be clear- this is Trump’s economy. While he promised to lower prices on Day One, it’s been over 9 months and his reckless policies are making everything from groceries to gas more expensive.

Inflation climbs to highest level since January, beef prices soar

A recent uptick in prices has coincided with a sharp slowdown of hiring.

Congressman Dwight Evans@repdwightevans.bsky.socialOct 24(source)

So Trump will meet with China’s president halfway across the world, BUT he can’t be bothered to negotiate with leaders of Congress to end the twin shutdowns of federal services and of health care for 24 million Americans.

Almost 500,000 Philadelphians, who rely on SNAP to put healthy food on the table, will see their benefits come to a halt at the end of the month. This is yet another reason House Republicans need to end their 34-day paid vacation and get back to work in Washington.

Pause on SNAP benefits would put 'massive strain' on Philly food banks

If the federal government shutdown continues into November, nearly 500,000 city residents will lose their monthly SNAP benefits until it ends.

This column by @jenicearmstrong.bsky.social is a wonderful remembrance of a great African American journalist in Philadelphia. May Michael Days Rest in Power.

Philadelphia has lost a great journalist and a kind spirit | Jenice Armstrong

Michael Days was more than just a boss. He was an editor, mentor, and friend who looked out for his staffers, which engendered our intense loyalty.

Smart analysis from Philly-area native @pkcapitol.bsky.social on House Republican failures on the shutdown and health care:

Column | Republicans struggle to explain shutdown of the House

Speaker Mike Johnson’s initial strategy to jam the Senate has not worked, but he refuses to change tactics.

Congressman Dwight Evans@repdwightevans.bsky.socialOct 23(source)

24 million Americans are about to see a shutdown of their health care. 2 million Pennsylvanians are about to lose their SNAP benefits. Federal workers are missing their paychecks. But right now- “the ballroom is really the president’s main priority.”

Congressman Dwight Evans@repdwightevans.bsky.socialOct 23(source)

Americans just want to be able to afford their health care and put food on the table. Meanwhile Trump is demolishing the White House to build a ballroom, signing some merch, and giving a $20 billion bailout to his right-wing crony in Argentina.

'Keeping lawmakers in Washington until the job is done'? Another example of a bill that won't get a hearing or a vote while Republicans keep the House closed for their 33-day paid vacation during this #GOPShutdown.

Screenshot of a post from Congressman Bresnahan with the text “The Prevent Government Shutdowns Act holds Congress accountable and keeps the government running. No recess. No excuses.” And a graphic that says “Prevent Government Shutdowns Act Cosponsor ‘Shutting down the government is a failure of Congress to do its job. The American people should not suffer because lawmakers miss a deadline. The Prevent Government Shutdowns Act holds Congress accountable by keeping lawmakers in Washington until the job is done. It protects federal workers, keeps essential services running, and restores responsibility to the budget process. No recess. No excuses. Get it done.”
