The Republican Shutdown has a devastating impact on our federal workforce, with nearly 750,000 workers affected. This means missed paychecks for working families and more uncertainty and chaos for this country. Trump and Republicans must end this shutdown.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govOct 1(source)

Trump promised to lower costs on day one. Instead, he is using the presidency to make himself and his billionaire buddies richer. All while stripping millions of Americans off of health care and food assistance.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govOct 1(source)

ICE is acting as a rouge agency — assaulting members of the press, one of whom even had to be carried away on a stretcher. These agents must be held accountable. This is beyond outrageous, and we cannot stand for it, normalize it, or accept it. www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news...

Video shows ICE officers shove journalists to the floor at 26 Federal Plaza in NYC, 1 hospitalized

It comes less than week after video of a separate shoving incident at the ICE facility went viral.

U.S. cities are not “training grounds” for the military and U.S. citizens are not the “enemy from within”. This is incredibly dangerous and is not what our military is trained for or meant to do. It’s authoritarianism, plain and simple. www.axios.com/2025/09/30/t...

Trump offers "dangerous" U.S. cities as military "training grounds"

He told military leaders "we have to handle" the so-called "enemy from within."

Republicans have officially shut down the government. My office will remain open to serve my constituents.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govOct 1(source)

House Republicans aren’t even in DC this week, and that should tell you all you need to know. They are not interested in negotiating a bipartisan deal that funds the government and protects Americans’ health care. Democrats are here and standing up for you.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govOct 1(source)

Republicans cannot govern — and they’re not even trying to. They left town and we have just hours left til a shutdown. Democrats in the House and Senate are here and fighting for you every step of the way.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govOct 1(source)

Democrats are united — we are ready to fund the government and protect Americans’ health care. Trump and Republicans would rather slash Medicaid, raise costs, and shut down the government.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govOct 1(source)

Tonight, I stood with colleagues, advocates, and affected families to tell Republicans: Stop the shutdown. Cancel the cuts. Put health care over billionaires.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govSep 30(source)

If the government shuts down, it will be thanks to Republicans. Democrats are fighting to protect your health care. Trump refuses to negotiate.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govSep 30(source)

Trump and Republicans will take the blame if the government shuts down tonight. They have already decimated federal agencies, fired thousands of federal workers, and stripped health care from 15 million people. It's clear that they have no interest in working FOR the American people.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govSep 30(source)

HAPPENING NOW: I’m live with @joegallina.bsky.social of @calltoactivism.bsky.social to talk about how Republicans are shutting down the government and ripping health care away from the American people. Tune in: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dm-...

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govSep 30(source)

If Republicans refuse to negotiate, 4 million Americans could lose their health care — in addition to the millions that will be kicked off of Medicaid thanks to Trump's Big Bad Betrayal. Dems are fighting to protect your care. Republicans would rather shut down the government.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govSep 30(source)

We simply cannot trust Trump and Republicans to stick to their word on funding agreements. Democrats have kept our promises. But Trump is clawing back funding that has already been appropriated. They have no intention to negotiate in good faith or follow the law.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govSep 30(source)

Today on the House Floor: Democrats are ready to pass legislation to keep the government open and protect Americans' health care. Republicans are nowhere to be found.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govSep 30(source)

Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. It is on them to govern and negotiate with Democrats if they need our votes. But instead of trying to fund the government in a bipartisan manner, they are intent on stripping health care away from even more Americans.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govSep 30(source)

Democrats are standing united, ready to fund the government and save Americans’ health care. Republicans left town, refused to negotiate, and would rather shut down the government and rip health care away from millions more Americans.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govSep 30(source)

Democrats are in DC, ready to negotiate and make a deal that cancels Trump and Republicans’ cuts, lowers costs, and saves health care for the American people. But Mike Johnson chose to send House Republicans home. Republicans are shutting the government down.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govSep 30(source)

As ICE continues to ramp up its lawless actions, kidnapping and deporting people from communities across this country, I will continue to hold them accountable. This administration is tearing apart families, and we must continue to use our voices to fight back.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.govSep 30(source)

We are down to the wire, with one day left until the government shuts down. Republicans must come to the table to keep the government open and running, and protect everyday Americans instead of padding billionaires’ pockets.
