It’s day 14 of the Democrat government shutdown, and our message remains the same: STOP playing political games, PASS the clean CR, REOPEN the government.

With a @POTUS-brokered peace deal in the Middle East and the last living hostages reunited with their families in Israel, today should be a day of celebration. Yet, we’re all here today marking day 14 of the Democrat shutdown.

.@POTUS promised to bring peace through strength. Not even 10 months into his term, he has delivered time and time again. No matter where you fall on the political spectrum, we can all agree that President Trump deserves recognition for this historic day.

When Christopher Columbus landed in the Americas in 1492, a new era began—one that would bring about the founding of our great nation. While some would like to erase Columbus from history, we join @POTUS in celebrating the brave explorer and his discovery of the New World.

I had the privilege of meeting Ilay during my trip to Israel this past August and hearing Evyatar’s story. Thank you, @POTUS, for reuniting this family and bringing the hostages home!
After more than 2 years of torture in Gaza, Evyatar David is finally coming home. His brother, Ilay David, says their bond is through music. The moment he hears Evyatar sing and play again will be the first time he truly knows his brother is home. 🎶❤️

The President of PEACE! And a homecoming that is long overdue. President Trump is making history today.
President Donald J. Trump delivers remarks to Israel's Knesset in Jerusalem. 🇺🇸 "After two harrowing years in darkness & captivity, 20 courageous hostages are returning to the glorious embrace of their families... Today, the sun rises on a Holy Land that is finally at PEACE."

Hakeem Jeffries can “view” the CR we passed in the House however he wants. But the REALITY is that our funding bill is nonpartisan and as clean as they come. Not to mention Democrats supported the same extension 13 times under Biden.
.@RepJeffries gets fact checked for lying about the clean Continuing Resolution to reopen the government: "A number of Dems voted for this extension back in March...It's just continuing the levels of spending that currently exist." Hakeem: *continues to lie through his teeth*

On National Farmer’s Day, we thank our nation’s farmers for their work to keep us fed and to support communities. In Minnesota, we’re fortunate to be home to some of the best farmers in the world! Farmers aren’t told this enough, but we are grateful for you today and every

“Every day GETS BETTER FOR US.” That’s what Democrats think of the government shutdown. Every day that Americans can’t access their community health centers, every day vulnerable Americans can’t access a telehealth appointment, all because Democrats want to provide free health

Tina Smith claims she shut the government down so that she can “protect Minnesotans’ health care.” If that was really the case, why does she support a $1.5 trillion proposal that would give health care to illegal aliens while cutting 50 billion dollars in rural health care?

It's day 11 of the government shutdown, and Senate Democrats have voted 7 times against our troops, the federal workforce, and the American people. Why? Because they’d rather increase spending by $1.5 TRILLION and put illegal aliens back on taxpayer-funded healthcare. Insanity.

Let’s get this straight: Democrat priorities include taxpayer-funded health care for illegal aliens, adding $1.5 TRILLION in new spending, and stripping $50 billion from rural hospitals.

Democrats saying they won’t reopen the government until planes start “falling out of the sky” just goes to show how dangerous they’re willing to be to prove a political point. My grandfather’s Democrat party is gone.

Democrats continue to reveal they DON’T CARE about the American people or their safety. They let MILLIONS of criminal illegal aliens into our country, and now they would rather have planes falling than open the government for the people.
🚨Wow. Democrats are now saying that unless “planes are falling out of the sky” because of air traffic controller staffing shortages — they will not end their government shutdown. One of the most disgusting statements I’ve ever read.

House Republicans did our job. We passed a clean extension to keep the government open, fund our military, and protect America. The Democrats rejected it. This isn’t about budgeting for them -- it’s about political theater at the expense of our troops.

Planes have to crash before Democrats lift a finger? Got it. Their priorities couldn’t be clearer—nothing says “leadership” like waiting for disaster.

This shutdown is a crisis of the Democrat Party — their failed policies, and bitterness at POTUS. Simply put: The American People deserve better.
