Under Trump, you have two options with your health care: lose it entirely or start paying more.

The cruelty is the point. CDFIs help low-income and rural communities get access to capital to start small businesses – a broadly bipartisan priority. This administration wants to make it impossible for low- and middle-income Americans to get ahead.
Treasury RIF news: Staff at the CDFI Fund were told this afternoon that *all* employees will be RIFed, according to sources familiar. The CDFI Fund is a bipartisan darling for community development with supporters like Sens Crapo (R-Ida.) and Warner (D-Va.).

Boring. Yawning. Sloppy. Lazy. We’re on day 10 of the shutdown. Where is the House of Representatives???

We’re looking at severe weather this weekend across Hampton Roads and the Eastern Shore. Virginia, please stay weather aware, follow all local guidance, and check in on family and neighbors during these potential floods.

Even Marjorie Taylor Greene is calling out her Republican colleagues for their refusal to lower health care costs and reopen the government.

Instead of working with Democrats to protect health care and reopen the government, Republicans are continuing to double down on their strategy of inflicting maximum pain on the American people. More illegal firings will not save people from health care costs that are doubling,
Layoffs of federal employees have started in response to the government shutdown, OMB chief Russell Vought says

They don’t want you to realize that the House has been on a weeks-long paid vacation because they’re scared of a vote to release the Epstein Files. What are they trying to hide?

This latest round of federal firings is not an unfortunate byproduct of the government shutdown, but a deliberate choice. Republicans are intentionally holding federal workers hostage to force through their agenda driving up health care costs for millions.

Trump is now routinely weaponizing the justice system to go after his political enemies. If that isn’t authoritarian, I don’t know what is.

Here’s the simple truth that Republicans in DC don’t want you to know: The government is shut down because they are choosing to DOUBLE your health care premiums. There’s a bill that would end the shutdown today AND fund health care. But Washington Republicans keep voting NO.

This shutdown is the latest in a series of nonsensical attacks against federal workers. When I sat down with a few in New Jersey, I heard about their anxieties and fears, but I also heard from them that some things are worth fighting for. Full conversation out now.

When we talk about Republicans marching us towards a health care crisis, this is what we mean. A 60-year-old couple in Monterey County bracing for a $3,778 monthly spike in their coverage costs –– that’s a 629% increase. Republicans are responsible for these price hikes.

Good to make progress on the annual defense bill in the Senate tonight — but it’s time for Republicans to act right by our servicemembers, end this painful shutdown, and ensure that troops don’t miss a paycheck.

Actually INSANE that Republicans are so unwilling to stop your health care costs from skyrocketing that they are refusing to even sit down to negotiate… and House Republicans have entirely stopped showing up to work at all.

Republicans can end their shutdown and all the pointless pain it’s causing at any point. Instead, they’re intent on raising your health care premiums and unleashing flight delays, missed paychecks, and chaos on Americans.

Listen to what this Republican mother had to say to Speaker Johnson this morning. If he's not willing to listen to us, I hope he'll listen to the American people. Families are hurting, and Republicans have the power to put a stop to it. We're at the table. We're waiting.

Yes, I’m going to fight for health care. When my mother was diagnosed with stage IV ovarian cancer and didn’t have health insurance, it was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to deal with.

I spoke to an Arizonan who could see her premiums go from $250 to over $1,000 a month. She said: “I’m not looking for a handout, I’m looking for a hand up.”
