It doesn’t matter if you’re in a blue or a red state; health care premiums are set to skyrocket.
Democrats are fighting to lower those costs, no matter where you live or who you voted for.
Meanwhile, Republicans seem to only care about securing tax breaks for the top 1%.
It's been two weeks since Republicans shut down the government.
Two weeks of Democrats showing up ready to negotiate, and two weeks of Republicans refusing to even come to the table.
In July, Republicans cut SNAP with their Big Ugly Bill.
Now, MILLIONS are at risk of losing food assistance because Republicans refuse to fund the government.
Again & again, when given the chance to help Americans, Republicans choose to help their billionaire buddies instead.
Republicans are doing NOTHING to find a funding solution.
Trump and Senate Republicans continue refusing to negotiate with Democrats, all while House Republicans haven’t been to work in 20 days...
Americans are suffering, and Democrats seem to be the only ones trying to fix it.
Republicans have now been given six opportunities to extend the ACA credits, lower costs, and reopen the government.
Instead, they have doubled down on their proposal to RAISE your health care premiums so they can hand out tax breaks to their ultra-rich friends.
Today, Senate Republicans had another chance to do what is best for their constituents by reopening the government and protecting access to health care.
Once again, they chose not to.
It's day 8 of the shutdown, and Republicans are still playing partisan games, refusing to protect Americans' access to health care, all at the expense of millions of federal workers.
It’s past time for Republicans to come to the table and fix the crisis they created.
It's day 7 of Republicans' shutdown.
Democrats have a plan to protect your health care, but Republicans are refusing to talk because they want to make YOU pay MORE for the care you need so the top 1% can get a tax break.
Talk about misplaced priorities...
Republicans won’t lower your health care costs for one big reason.
Because it would hurt the pockets of their billionaire friends.
Republicans won't extend the ACA credits to make health care more affordable for Americans, but will gladly make life cheaper for the top 1%.
They care more about billionaires than working-class Americans, and their shutdown priorities prove it.
Trump spent months distancing himself from Project 2025, only to empower its chief architect.
He lied yet again and thinks you’re too stupid to realize it.
And now, together, they want to add insult to injury for federal workers.
Democrats are fighting for the American people against Trump’s attacks on our health care, our economy, and our Democracy.
...And Republicans are fighting to RAISE your health care premiums.
Two very different priorities.
Republicans control the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives.
Our government shut down because of their unwillingness to do their jobs.
How insecure do you have to be to waste millions of dollars flying generals in from around the world just to thump your chest for a few hours?
The silence from the Generals says it all.
Republicans would rather shut down the government than address the healthcare crisis they’ve created.
My statement on Republicans’ government shut down:
Republicans want to double health premiums for millions of Americans next year.
Democrats want to extend coverage & ensure Americans can afford health care.
It's really that black and white.
"Highest mail standard"... what is this USPS?
This guy is supposed to be the nation's best and brightest?
Grocery costs are skyrocketing.
Republicans' solution? Cut food assistance programs.
Now, Americans in Hawaii & every corner of the country are struggling to keep food on the table.
Slashing our best tool to combat food insecurity to give the top 1% a tax break was just cruel.
Yesterday was #NationalCoffeeDay, but what do they say? It's better latte than never?
Hawaii is the country's largest coffee-producing state, which gives us some grounds to celebrate big!
Thank you to all the individuals in Hawaii whose hard work keeps our country caffeinated!
