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-...

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.

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. hoyer.house.gov/impact-gover...

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.

We asked 1,000 Americans who is to blame for the shutdown. Here’s what they said.

More Americans blame Trump and Republicans than Democrats for shutdown, poll finds.
