In this political climate, it’s pretty tough to get the majority of Americans to agree on ANYTHING. Well, here you have it, folks.
78% of Americans support extending the enhanced ACA tax credits and providing much-needed relief for our neighbors struggling to afford health care.
We remember so we will not allow the horrors of the past to be repeated. We remember so that we can continue to work towards shared peace in this region for Israelis and Palestinians alike.
Today, we remember the horrors of the Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel on October 7th. We remember the lives that were lost, we remember the communities that were changed forever by that violence and bloodshed, and we remember the hostages who remain in captivity.
The EPA is absolutely essential in its work to protect and preserve our precious natural environment. However, the government shutdown has forced them to operate at a bare-bones level, and it’s going to be devastating for our environment.

Domestic violence impacts millions of Americans each year. It is never too late to ask for help. If you or a loved one is a victim of domestic violence, call the 24-hour National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE.
As the daughter of an educator, I’m proud to support our teachers. Happy #WorldTeacherDay to all of the individuals taking on the important task of educating our young ones and making the world a better place. You’re superheroes! 📕
Let’s talk about the facts behind this government shutdown:
1. Democrats DIDN’T shut down the government.
2. Democrats have never proposed to give health care to undocumented immigrants.
3. We don’t have time to wait to act, because costs are already skyrocketing for millions of Americans.
To add to the list of egregious government shutdown-related concerns, it’s been brought to my attention that websites of many Inspectors General (offices specifically targeted to root out waste, fraud, and abuse in our government) are BLANK. Nowhere to be found — not even in archive form.
With so much confusing and conflicting information being spread about the government shutdown, I’m committed to sharing the facts — and ONLY the facts.
Make sure you’re subscribed to my weekly newsletter to get the most up-to-date resources and info about the shutdown.
Make no mistake: health care costs are going to SKYROCKET under the Republicans’ plan, and the government shutdown is only making things worse.
Your family could be burdened with thousands of dollars in extra costs thanks to their reckless governance.
On this week's special in-district edition of Straight Talk With Scholten, I debunk some of the myths that are being spread about the current federal government shutdown.
It's more important than ever to prioritize facts over misinformation. Let's get into it.
Watch below.
I came to Washington to demand good governance for the American people. These are YOUR TAX DOLLARS at work to spread political propaganda. It’s the furthest thing from good governance, and likely illegal.
I remain committed to working for the American people.

When the President proposed tariffs on pharmaceuticals, building materials, and certain trucks, I pushed back on behalf of everyday Americans.
The Lowering Costs Caucus wrote a letter to Sec. Lutnik to reconsider these tariffs, and we got results. Read more below.
More than 40,000 Coasties are working without the certainty of pay for the duration of this government shutdown. My bill, the Pay Our Coast Guard Parity Act, would ensure that they receive pay on time, as members of other branches of the military do when funding lapses.
Q: Why is the government shut down?
A: Trump and House Republicans refuse to give AN INCH on making healthcare more affordable for the American people.

As American families begin to plan and budget for 2026, many can expect their health care premiums to more than DOUBLE. Republicans can fix that TODAY and re-open the government. That’s not finger pointing. That’s fact-checking.
Wishing all those observing in West Michigan and across the world a meaningful Yom Kippur. G'mar Chatima Tovah!
They’d rather shut down the government and take a vacation than give hardworking Americans tax breaks for health care. Think about that.
