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."

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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

My full statement on the negotiated peace agreement between Israel and Hamas:

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.
My full statement to mark two years since the October 7th attack on Israel:
hoyer.house.gov/media/press-...
The absence of a September jobs report comes as Republicans are raising health care premiums and costs and giving tax breaks to corporations and the wealthy.
Despite the lack of data, Republicans' message to working families is clear: You’re On Your Own.
OMB Director Vought's move to terminate lawfully approved energy and infrastructure projects sends a clear message to Americans: You're On Your Own.
Team Maryland is working to maintain these investments and lower costs for working families across our state.
As Yom Kippur comes to a close this evening, I wish that all within the Jewish community had a meaningful day of atonement.

Republicans’ government shutdown has brought about uncertainty, frustration, & fear for many Americans and their families.
I encourage Marylanders in #MD05 to visit my website and reach out to my office with your comments, questions, and concerns during this time.

The facts speak for themselves: the American people know who is to blame for shutting down the government.
Republicans are in charge of the House, the Senate, and the White House.
The Trump Admin's policies have devastated thousands of federal employees and families in MD. Republicans' government shutdown will worsen the ongoing crisis.
Team Maryland is ready to work, ready to reopen government and end this health care crisis. It’s time for Republicans to come to the table.
My full statement regarding the Republican government shutdown:

My full statement regarding the last day of service for federal employees who took the Deferred Resignation Program (DRP):
hoyer.house.gov/media/press-...
Shutting down the government is not only wasteful, but it would devastate thousands of federal employees and millions more Americans who rely on their service.
