Republicans had a chance to stop YOUR health care premiums from going up—they chose to skip town instead.
Now, health care costs are going to skyrocket—by as much as 21% in WA state alone.
Democrats are doing everything we can to force Republicans to address this crisis.

ICE is detaining pregnant women who pose no threat to the public and putting them and their babies at risk. I've introduced a bill to help, but we need to keep pushing for accountability and shining a spotlight on human rights abuses. That's why I'm pressing for answers NOW.
This is heartbreaking news. My thoughts are with the family and loved ones of these brave servicemembers along with the entire JBLM community right now.
Republicans just voted AGAINST a bill Democrats wrote to fund the government and also fix the GOP health care crisis.
Now Republicans are LEAVING TOWN instead of working with us to lower health care costs and stop hospitals from closing.
Make sure everyone knows it.
Every Senator had a simple choice today: vote for a bill to responsibly fund the government AND address the GOP health care crisis.
Republicans chose to sit on their hands, OR NOT EVEN SHOW UP, rather than lift a finger to address the health care crisis they themselves created.
BREAKING: Republicans just voted against a bill to fund the government AND fix the health care crisis THEY created.
Republicans voted to send premiums skyrocketing and to shut down rural hospitals.
Republicans say they want to address rising health care costs, just not right now. So WHEN?
Premiums are already spiking, and hospitals are already closing.
Well, Democrats are FORCING the conversation. Let's fund the government AND fix the Republican health care crisis.
Good morning, it's a great day for Republicans to choose to fund the government AND fix the health care crisis they themselves created.
No one wants a shutdown but Donald Trump.
Democrats are fighting to lower health care costs and keep hospitals from closing.
Free speech is under attack in America. But there are more of us who believe in free speech than there are authoritarian Trump cronies.
So speak up. Your voice really does matter. It's what Trump is most afraid of. That's why he's desperate to silence critics.
NEW: I'm calling on the Inspector General to investigate the chaos at CDC and how RFK Jr. is restricting access to vaccines.
America deserves answers, so I'm pushing for real oversight.
But the bottom line? The best thing Trump could do is FIRE RFK Jr. right now.
Hospitals across Washington state are being forced to lay off staff, reducing services because of GOP health care cuts.
This is real. And it’s happening because Republicans chose tax cuts for billionaires over health care for our families.
I'm fighting to repeal these cuts.
I asked the former CDC Director & CDC Chief Medical Officer if parents should trust the recommendations of the former CDC vaccine advisory board. Short answer? Yes.
Could parents trust the recommendations from RFK Jr's newly installed vaccine skeptics? Not so much.
Fire RFK Jr.
Yesterday, Trump was threatening a reporter. Today, he coerced ABC to kick Kimmel off the air.
He's also suing NYT & WSJ for reporting the truth. And it's not just media: he's threatening private companies, colleges, Congress—everyone.
Enough. NONE OF US should cave. We ALL need to push back.
Today, @delauro.house.gov and I are introducing a short-term CR to keep the government funded, address the health care crisis Republicans have single-handedly created, and protect Congress’ power of the purse.
There's no need for a Republican shutdown.
Speak up to protect our public lands and submit your comment here: www.regulations.gov/commenton/FS...
Have you heard about the Roadless Rule? It protects forestland across the country, but Trump wants to REPEAL IT!
Nothing is final yet, so it's time to speak out.
You can submit public comment to protect our public lands—just do it BEFORE 11:59pm EST on FRIDAY, September 19!
THE STATE OF PUBLIC HEALTH IN AMERICA: I asked former CDC official Deb Houry how she found out about the updated COVID vaccine guidance.
She found out by tweet. On social media.
Her title? Chief Medical Officer.
Vaccine policy by tweet is not radical transparency—it's ABSURD and reckless.
Republicans have made it pretty clear they will do literally anything except lower the cost of health care.
They see premiums are set to skyrocket, and they’re content to twiddle their thumbs in response and ignore Democratic solutions.
Couldn't be a bigger contrast.
JD Vance is a real disgrace. Of course, political violence is not unique to either side.
We should not expect any serious effort from the White House to bring the country together. We'll have to do that on our own.
Trump made his marching orders plain as day, saying, "Don’t even bother dealing with them."
I’ve got some news for Republicans: if you "don’t even bother" dealing with Democrats, and find you don’t have the votes you need to fund the government—THAT is a Republican shutdown.
