Day 29 of this shutdown:
Health premiums are soaring.
People are missing paychecks.
And no House Republicans to be found in DC.

Trump’s $230 million shakedown of taxpayers violates the Emoluments Clause in the Constitution, which explicitly prohibits him from receiving payment beyond his salary. My @democrats-judiciary.house.gov colleagues and I are seeking documents from the DOJ on this flagrant corruption scheme.

The Trump administration thinks propaganda will cover up the economic and health crises they’ve created. The people losing their jobs, their businesses, and their insurance aren’t buying it.

Lofgren: Now, instead of the president weighing in, we’ve got him doing weird little dances as he lands in Asia, and he’s missing in action. The Senate is refusing to negotiate across party lines, and the House of Representatives isn’t even meeting. I mean, I’ve never seen anything like this.
Far too many families along California’s Central Coast struggle with the cost of housing. I met with Housing Resource Center Monterey to discuss housing affordability and how the federal government can best help to reduce rent burdens.
Republicans were very fast to pass tax cuts for billionaires this summer. Where’s Republicans’ urgency to address this healthcare crisis?

BREAKING: CRAIG, DELAURO STATEMENT ON WHITE HOUSE UNLAWFULLY STEALING FOOD BENEFITS FROM AMERICANS
The latest inflation report shows prices increasing by 3%, and that doesn’t even cover people’s health insurance premiums that are about to DOUBLE.
Trump’s own press secretary says his “main priority” is his ballroom:
Trump’s Ag Secretary is suggesting SNAP benefits will not be issued in November because of the shutdown, but Congress has set aside years of reserve funds for SNAP for this very scenario.
Stop playing politics with hunger and open the government.
If ICE and CBP agents attempt to violate the constitutional rights of Bay Area residents like they did in Chicago, those agents should face legal consequences. Terrorizing communities and stripping people of due process doesn’t make us safer.

Trump gave Argentina $40 billion, but it could've been spent making life better for AMERICANS.
Here's how:
- Developing a cure for pediatric cancer
- Delivering health care to millions of Americans
- Building VA hospitals
- Paying farmers already struggling with Trump's tariffs
Watch my full interview with MSNBC’s Chris Jansing: youtu.be/fUNr8HEL1Tc?...
Trump is trying to shake down $230 million from taxpayers so the DOJ can compensate him for his criminal cases, all while people’s healthcare costs are soaring.
No President in American history comes close to his level of corruption.
The government is shut down.
People’s health premiums are soaring.
And Trump is busy taking a wrecking ball to The People’s House to build his gaudy $250 million ballroom.
It says everything we need to know about his priorities.

I’m going to continue to show up to protect us, to protect the people of the 10th Congressional District, of New Jersey, and of this country. Because we need protection, and we have to continue to hold this administration accountable.
I’ll be joining Chris Jansing on @msnbcreports.msnbc.com around 9:15am PT to talk about the Republican government shutdown, new offenses by pardoned J6 rioters, and Trump’s unconstitutional demands that taxpayers compensate him $230 million for past DOJ investigations into him.
The government’s been shut down for 3 weeks now, and House Republicans haven’t even be at work in a full month. Speaker Johnson, for the sake of Americans’ healthcare, quit delaying and call your members back to DC.
Yesterday, I held a press conference in San Jose with @usrepjimmypanetta.bsky.social, @liccardo.house.gov, healthcare professionals, and constituents to draw attention to Republicans’ healthcare crisis. They need to stop delaying and finally pass a budget that lowers Americans’ health costs.
