Glad to see one of my PA colleagues from across the aisle calling on Congress to “get back to work.” Beyond tackling the debt- in the short term, we must end the shutdown of federal services, ensure all our federal workers are paid, and stop the shutdown of health care for millions of Americans.
Rep. Lloyd Smucker 
@RepSmucker

I joined WDAC this week to discuss why it’s critical for Congress to get back to work and tackle our nation’s national debt crisis. Listen here [downward arrow emoji]
Could we get some examples of this “most meaningful work”? More meaningful than passing the 9 out of 12 annual funding bills the House still hasn't passed? More meaningful than stopping the looming shutdown of health care for 24 million Americans? #GOPShutdown
RAJU: Why not bring members back to DC to do the work they're elected to do? MIKE JOHNSON: We're evaluating this day by day. The House did its work. House Republicans are doing some of the most meaningful work of their careers. I don't want to pull them away from it.
Speaker Johnson once again canceled votes, extending the House GOP's 38-day paid vacation. House Democrats from PA are united in calling on the Speaker to bring us all back to work in DC- it's past time for all of our Republican colleagues to stand up for Pennsylvanians and join us.

Congress has provided USDA roughly $5 billion in contingency SNAP funding for times like this. I joined my House Democratic colleagues to demand the administration use this money and ensure 42 million Americans, including nearly 500,000 here in Philly, are able to put food on the table next month.
Rep. Evans joins over 210 House Democrats in demanding the Trump administration use congressionally authorized funds to ensure the continuation of SNAP benefits. Nearly 500,000 Philadelphians could lose their benefits at the end of the month.
“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!

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.”
