Having watched a lot of SpongeBob with my kids, I never expected Republicans to run Congress like the Krusty Krab.
Ten days into their government shutdown, they still refuse to engage in any negotiations to keep health insurance premiums affordable for millions of Americans.

I voted twice in Congress to make independent redistricting the law of the land nationwide, but I’m voting YES on Prop 50.
Here’s why:
Trump claims wind and solar drives up costs, but the data from his own administration shows otherwise.
States that rely more on renewables actually have lower electricity bills.
Clean energy isn’t the problem—it’s a big part of the solution to cheaper power. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Trump just said some federal employees “don’t deserve to be taken care of.” That’s not leadership, it’s cruelty.
Hundreds of thousands of Americans are working or waiting without pay, and the president seems proud of it.
We need a leader who reopens government, not one who weaponizes it.

Imagine opening a letter saying your health insurance costs are about to rise by thousands, even tens of thousands, next year.
That’s the reality for millions of Americans later this month if we don’t extend ACA tax credits.
I won’t stand by while people are priced out of the care they need.

Mike Johnson is delaying Democrat Adelita Grijalva’s swearing in to block a House vote to release the Epstein files.
Republicans swore in their own winners the next day in April.
This is rank hypocrisy and totally shameless.
Listen to this Republican military spouse, who is exactly right: Mike Johnson could call us all back today to DC to make sure at least our military is paid during the shutdown.
We have a bipartisan bill to do exactly that.
Truly a disgrace Johnson won’t do it.

The new DOE “climate review” is one of the most misleading and irresponsible government reports I’ve ever seen. It cherry-picks, distorts, and ignores decades of peer-reviewed science. Using it to justify gutting climate rules isn’t just wrong — it’s unconscionable. www.politico.com/interactives...

It is truly disgraceful that Johnson refuses to bring House Republicans back to DC or swear in our new Democratic colleague, Adelita Grijalva, because she would be the 218th and deciding signature on the Epstein Files resolution.
All during a government shutdown with real world consequences and the health care of millions of Americans at stake. Johnson should be ashamed of himself.

Millions of Americans are about to see their health care premiums double, and the government is shut down because Republicans walked away.
Democrats are ready to work and reopen the government.
It’s time for House Republicans to end their vacation and do their jobs.

During this shutdown, it’s important to remember: Republicans looted the store and left the “open” sign on. Democrats are the ones restocking the shelves and keeping it running for the people who built it.
Leading economists say the U.S. saw “essentially no job growth” last month.
Small businesses are getting crushed by Trump’s tariffs and immigration chaos while health care carries the economy.
The shutdown means no official jobs data—just more chaos and uncertainty.

Electric bills are rising twice as fast as inflation. The grid is aging, extreme weather keeps breaking it, and rebuilding safely costs more. These are the hidden costs of climate change. The answer is not denial. It is investing in a stronger, cleaner, more resilient grid.
