If anyone understands the dire costs of the Republican shutdown, it would be our federal workers. Until Republicans choose to govern, Congressman Ivey, Team Maryland, & I will keep working to reopen the government & lower Americans' health care costs as we help federal workers weather this storm.

Hoyer, Pocan, Bishop, Ivey Demand Accountability for Trump's Demolition of White House East Wing

WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Ranking Member of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Financial Services and General Government Congressman Steny H.

Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govOct 23(source)

At a time when Americans are concerned about the cost of living, rising health care costs, and ending the Republican shutdown, Trump's focusing on demolishing the White House's East Wing – without approval from Congress or public transparency. The Trump Admin must answer for their misconduct.

Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govOct 22(source)

Since the Republican Shutdown began 22 days ago, we've witnessed the unlawful firings of federal employees, disruptions to vital services, and the danger of rising health care costs. Tune in as Democrats hear from Americans who are experiencing these devastating impacts:

Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govOct 21(source)

There’s a simple deal to be made: Reopen the government, pay our public servants, & lower health care costs for hardworking Americans. It's imperative that Republicans come back to the table to negotiate a bipartisan agreement that accomplishes all of these objectives.

Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govOct 21(source)

The Republican Shutdown has put financial strain on federal workers in MD, especially those reporting to the office to continue serving the American people. I commend Gov. Moore & Maryland Transit Administration for extending this resource as Team MD continues working to support federal employees.

Maryland will provide free MARC train and Commuter Bus service to federal workers for the duration of the government shutdown.

The Dept. of Education's Office of Special Education & Rehabilitative Services helps students with disabilities & their families understand their rights under federal disability law to ensure they have a successful future. House Dems demand a reversal of the illegal firings in this vital agency.

Hoyer Joins Representative McBath, House Democrats in Condemning Trump Administration’s Latest Attacks on Special Education

WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Steny H.

Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govOct 16(source)

Rising living costs & health care expenses continue to threaten the economic stability of families across MD. The Maryland Delegation is calling on Republican leadership to bring the House back into session & act swiftly to extend ACA tax credits to protect affordable healthcare for Marylanders.

Hoyer, Maryland Delegation Members Urge Republican Leaders to Reopen Government, Prevent Health Care Costs from Skyrocketing and Protect Rural Health Care Access

WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Steny H. Hoyer (MD-05) joined Congresswoman April McClain Delaney, U.S. Senators Chris Van Hollen and Angela Alsobrooks (both D-MD), U.S.

The law is clear: all impacted federal employees are entitled to back pay after a government shutdown ends. I led my colleagues in demanding that OMB Director Vought follow the law passed by President Trump in 2019 & end his attack on federal workers. hoyer.house.gov/media/press-...

WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congressman Steny H. Hoyer (MD-05), U.S. Senators Tim Kaine (D-VA), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), Angela Alsobrooks (D-MD), and Mark R. Warner (D-VA) and U.S.

Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govOct 16(source)

Republican leadership's refusal to swear in Rep.-elect Grijalva defies constitutional responsibility, contradicts the recent signing in of two Republicans & shirks their duty to the House. I call on Johnson to fulfill his most basic responsibility to swear in the Rep.-elect as soon as possible.

Wishing a happy birthday to my dear friend and colleague, Governor Wes Moore. I commend your leadership and dedication to making Maryland stronger, and I remain proud to continue our work together in making a transformative difference in the lives of Marylanders.

Trump has used the threat of a shutdown in order to get what he wants for years. Now, Republicans in Congress have let Americans' government shut down as part of their policy of leverage & force. Their message to the American people has always been clear: "You're On Your Own."

Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govOct 15(source)

More than two weeks ago, Republicans shut down the government so that Americans would not have the affordable health care they need and want. House Democrats stand with the American people. We are ready to take action to reopen the government and lower health care costs.

Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govOct 15(source)

Vought continues to swing his scythe through federal agencies, causing great damage to our government, Americans, & the morale, well-being, & efficiency of federal workers. Democrats will keep fighting to end the Republican shutdown and reverse the harm caused by the Trump Admin's illegal actions.

Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govOct 10(source)

Enacting large-scale Reductions in Force at our federal agencies in the midst of a shutdown is further proof that Vought and the Trump Admin will stop at nothing to ensure the government does not function for the American people. This shameful campaign will have consequences for the entire nation.

Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govOct 10(source)

The choice before Republicans is the same as the one before the Good Samaritan on that road. The fight to save affordable health care is about reaching out and lifting Americans up. We must not leave them on their own. hoyer.house.gov/media/press-...

Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govOct 9(source)

Health care premiums are at hand, and the loss of coverage for millions of Americans is fast approaching. The time to act is now. Republicans have left Democrats - and the American people - waiting. hoyer.house.gov/media/press-...

House Republicans are nowhere to be found as the health care crisis that they orchestrated worsens every day the government remains closed. Tune in as Democrats fight to prevent health care premiums from doubling and demand an end to the Republican shutdown.
