The government is shut down. For those just tuning in, here’s what happened: 1) We said we needed to help Americans pay their health insurance bills. 2) Republicans hated the idea and stonewalled us. 3) They shut down the government (which they control all chambers of) without negotiating.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govOct 1(source)

All because we wanted to help Americans pay their health care costs in a broken system that is about to get even more expensive.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govSep 30(source)

So: what the hell is going on?

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govSep 30(source)

Showing up to work to avoid a shutdown is apparently a minimum threshold Republicans can’t be bothered to meet.

Republicans clearly flunked civics in high school. Undocumented immigrants CAN'T get Medicare, Medicaid, or healthcare tax credits. It’s against the law. These guys lie because the facts are not on their side.

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

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govSep 30(source)

Undocumented immigrants aren’t even *allowed* to access Medicare, Medicaid or ACA credits. Republicans like Randy are going to spike your health insurance premiums, but they REALLY want you to blame an immigrant instead.

@RepFine: Democrats are willing to stop paying American soldiers in order to give free health care to foreign invaders.

If that doesn’t violate their oath of office, I don’t know what does.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govSep 30(source)

At least 21,000,000 Americans will see their premiums increase under Republicans’ budget.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govSep 30(source)

This is a lie (and he knows it, but how else you gonna get on CNN every day)

@ScottJenningsKy .1d Here's the TRUTH: Democrats are trying to hold the government
HOSTAGE by making impossible demands, like free health care for illegals. It's reprehensible and it's not going to work.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govSep 30(source)

Their playbook for everything is to throw in the words 'illegal immigrants' when they know they’re losing to distract Americans from the fact they're screwing YOU over. YOUR premiums could skyrocket; it’s because of Republicans.

Sure it’s tough to find a new job or afford a home or groceries, but Trump has doubled his net worth since taking office by profiting off the presidency.

On National Day of Remembrance for Boarding School Survivors, we honor those children and reaffirm our commitment to strengthen Tribal sovereignty and deepen our respect for our trust and treaty obligations to Tribal Nations.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govSep 30(source)

For years it was the official policy of the United States to forcibly separate Native children from their families and send them to boarding school. Force them to learn new languages and culture and strip them of their identity. It remains one of our nation’s greatest injustices.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govSep 29(source)

Not true, Tom. In fact, this is about the 11,000 Minnesotans in your district and over 89k across the state looking at huge health insurance premium increases. Doesn’t that concern you?

Tweet from @GOPMajoritywhip: Democrats are planning to shut the government down tomorrow unless illegal aliens get taxpayer-funded healthcare.

Their political games will have dangerous impacts. Don’t just take my word for it. 🧵:

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govSep 29(source)

But they want you to think we SHOULDN’T help the bottom 50% get health insurance but SHOULD help the 1% get richer.

The top 10% now hold 67.4% of all the wealth in the US. The bottom 50% hold 2.5%.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govSep 29(source)

Health insurance premiums could spike by nearly $300 a month for Minnesotans. Doesn’t take an economist to know most people can’t afford that.

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.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govSep 29(source)

We can afford this but somehow don’t have enough money for health care

Donald J. Trump Truth Social Post 04:32 PM EST 09/28/25

Some of the highest quality 24 Karat Gold used in the Oval Office and Cabinet Room of the White House. Foreign Leaders, and everyone else, “freak out” when they see the quality and beauty. Best Oval Office ever, in terms of success and look!!! President DJT

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govSep 27(source)

This is a lie.

Tweet from @JDVance: Democrats are about to shutdown the government because they demand we fund healthcare for illegal aliens.

Nothing about the Wounded Knee Massacre meets our values of freedom and justice.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govSep 26(source)

Congress formally apologized to the descendants of those killed in the massacre in 1990. Congress recommended reviewing the recipients for a reason – because actions that warrant our highest military honors should represent America’s values.
