Trump’s policies are hurting American workers & businesses. He's raising prices, killing job growth, sowing uncertainty & pushing America toward stagflation. Now he's touting plans to fire more workers & halt development projects already underway. Americans deserve better.

Americans are standing on a health care cliff. More than 20 million Americans could see their premiums double. Doctors, nurses, rural Americans, patients, and families are speaking out. This isn’t political theater.

U.S. Senator Jack Reed@reed.senate.govOct 1(source)

While Donald Trump demands cuts to health care for millions of Americans as his ransom to open the government back up, he’s sending $20 billion in U.S. tax dollars to Argentina to bail out his whacky far-right ally.

Explaining the G.O.P.’s Misleading Talking Point on the Looming Shutdown

A Republican lie gets ripped to shreds. FACT: No one in the U.S. illegally is eligible for federal Medicare, Medicaid, or ACA enhanced text credits.

Republicans are shutting down the government rather than fixing the health care crisis THEY CREATED.

Sen. Cory Booker@booker.senate.govSep 30(source)

There is one reason the government is shutting down: Republicans and Trump have refused to work with Democrats to lower health care costs.

These are the types of hyper-partisan games House Republicans are playing in order to shut down the federal government and avoid a vote on releasing the Epstein Files.

‘Swear Her in!’ Republican Frantically Adjourns House to Avoid Swearing in New Member to Duck Epstein Files Vote

Republicans swiftly adjourned the House session Tuesday as Democrats shouted for a newly-elected Democratic member to be sworn in.

The Trump shutdown is brought to you by Russell Vought & Project 2025. This is what Trump’s OMB chief said about federal workers: “We want their funding to be shut down … We want to put them in trauma.”

It's the President's job to keep the government open— President Trump said so himself. We can keep the government open and stop health care costs from rising even further, but only if he and congressional republicans are willing to negotiate.

President Trump would rather shut down the government than protect Americans' health care. It's time for my Republican colleagues to stop bowing to Trump's demands & work with Democrats to find a bipartisan solution that puts Americans' needs first.

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake.

These people have found their health care at the center of a shutdown showdown
