The Trump admin has systematically but opaquely driven some of our best and brightest out of our government. Now, the shutdown has given us insight into the extent to which the administration has decimated agencies doing important work for us all. Read more here ⬇️

Republicans are holding thousands of federal workers and their families hostage, using their jobs and paychecks as leverage to continue raising healthcare costs and kick millions of Americans off their insurance.
Cruel.
Johnson: "It's true that in previous shutdowns, many or most furloughed employees have been paid for the time they were furloughed, but there is new legal analysis - I don't know the details, I just saw a headline - but there are some legal analysts saying that might not be appropriate or necessary"
Two years ago, nearly 1,200 people died in Hamas' attack on Israel. Today, I join our community and the world in mourning and honoring the innocent lives lost, in calling for the safe return of the more than 45 remaining hostages, and in urging peace in the region.
I'm always glad to join Houston Matters on @houstonpublicmedia.bsky.social—I and was grateful to discuss the importance of protecting Americans' health care while funding the government. We can do both.
Watch here ⬇️
Republicans sharing disinformation with voters has created a dangerous divide over the budget.
🔦 This sheds light on that.
Short answer: yes. This is why my Democratic colleagues and I were in Washington this week and why we're at the table, waiting for Republicans to join us in our effort to save Americans' health care.
2. I was grateful to visit with Legacy Community Health about what these changes will mean for the people who live and work here, and how we can work together to enact health policy that helps, not hurts, and the urgency of doing so at this moment.
1. President Trump and congressional Republicans' cuts to Medicaid and failure to extend the ACA's tax credits will hurt every American, reducing the quality and availability of health care services here in #TX07 and across the country.
230,000 working Texans—our neighbors—work to keep us healthy and safe, from food safety inspection to federal courts. As federal employees, though, they won't get paid.

New Dems have always worked to lower costs and protect health care.
Congressional Republicans are dead-set on doing the exact opposite—and even shut down the government to prove it.
My team and I won't stop working for our #TX07 neighbors, even during a government shutdown. If you need assistance, call us at (713) 353-8680.
The important work that hundreds of thousands of civil servants do for all of us has come to a halt because congressional Republicans have refused to negotiate a bipartisan deal to fund the government. Read more about who is impacted here ⬇️
2. I'm working to stop it, but can't do it alone. We need congressional Republicans to get on board.
1. I got this letter. And I shared it with my colleagues on @energycommerce.bsky.social. Between the health care cuts and the failure to extend these tax credits, people in #TX07 and across the country are going to see the already high cost of health care go up even more.
2. I am ready to work with my Republican colleagues to come to a bipartisan solution on a spending bill that protects health care and funds our government in a responsible manner.
1. On November 1, 22 million Americans will see their health care premiums increase unless Republicans agree to extend Obamacare tax credits. (More than 125,000 people in #TX07 rely on these tax credits to make their health insurance more affordable.)
I am in Washington with my Democratic colleagues, ready to keep the government open and to save our health care.
But the reality is, with control of the House, the Senate, and the presidency, 𝙤𝙣𝙡𝙮 𝙍𝙚𝙥𝙪𝙗𝙡𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙣𝙨 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙥 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙜𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙣𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙨𝙝𝙪𝙩𝙙𝙤𝙬𝙣.
And they're not here.
Republicans are out of town, but I am in Washington with my Democratic colleagues, ready to do the work to fund the government and to protect Americans' health care.
Americans are worried about the rising cost of health care.
But with inflation on the rise, Trump tariffs starting to kick in, and House Republicans' cuts to federal health care programs, everyone's premiums are about to go up. #LivesAreInTheBalance

Government funding runs out in 5 days & Trump is threatening a shutdown while worsening the healthcare crisis he created.
Don't be fooled: Republicans control Congress & the White House. If they can't fund the government & still refuse to negotiate, any shutdown is on them.
