Seventy-seven million Americans made their voices clear in November. They voted for tax cuts for working families, seniors and small businesses and an economy that works for them. Today, @HouseGOP delivered. The “One Big, Beautiful Bill” is putting America first. 🇺🇸

Even as servicemembers prepare to miss paychecks, Democrats admit they’re willing to drag this shutdown out for weeks to protect their partisan agenda to give health care to illegals. It’s time for Senate Democrats to stop the political games.

Congressional Democrats are privately preparing to hold their position in the shutdown standoff for several more weeks if Republicans do not agree to their health care demands – and not even a missed...

Democrats’ shutdown is costing Florida millions of dollars and forcing federal workers and troops to go without pay. Democrats must pass @HouseGOP’s clean CR to reopen the government and put hardworking families first. Read my @HeraldTribune op-ed: https://t.co/gPPp1K29sA

Democrats are bragging that “every day gets better” for them while federal workers go without pay and military families turn to food pantries. Tone-deaf. Out of touch. Unacceptable. Democrats need to stop playing politics and join Republicans to fund the government

At @SRQAirport, I met with airport leaders to discuss how the Democrat shutdown is hurting Florida’s air traffic controllers, TSA agents and travelers. These are real people working without pay. Senate Democrats need to stop playing politics and open the government.

Last night’s announcement of a historic Gaza peace agreement marks a critical first step toward peace in the Middle East. I commend @POTUS for securing a peace plan that brings hostages home and reaffirms America’s unwavering support for Israel. 🇺🇸🇮🇱 https://t.co/MmHHUpb25P

The facts are simple: ✅ Republicans voted to open the government. ❌ Democrats voted to keep it closed. @HouseGOP passed a clean CR, and the president said he’d sign it. Senate Democrats? They’re the ones holding it up.

Sharpie just proved that @POTUS’s America First policies are bringing manufacturing home, protecting American jobs and raising wages without raising costs. It’s time to reopen the government and give manufacturers the certainty they need to invest in American workers.

Two weeks ago, @HouseGOP passed a clean CR to keep the government open. 216 Republicans and even one Democrat voted to fund the government. The only thing standing in the way is Senate Democrats. It’s time for them to stop the games and vote to reopen the government.

Florida House Speaker @Daniel_PerezFL is exactly right. Senate Democrats must stop playing games and pass a clean CR to reopen the government. Floridians shouldn’t be caught in Washington’s partisan gridlock. @HouseGOP did its job — now it’s time for the Senate to do theirs.

These are the facts: Democrats shut down the government to push billions in new spending and restore taxpayer-funded health care for illegal aliens. Their plan repeals key reforms, including $50B for rural hospitals and Health Savings Accounts for millions of families.

Each week the government remains closed, Florida loses an estimated $911M in economic output, and more than 150K federal workers in Florida risk going without pay. @HouseGOP passed a clean CR to keep the government open. Now, Democrats must join us to reopen the government.

It’s been two years since Hamas committed the most brutal attacks against the Jewish people since the Holocaust. On this solemn day, we honor the innocent lives lost and stand united against antisemitism, hatred and terror. We will never forget. 🎗️

Democrats need to realize the damage their shutdown is causing in our communities. Florida’s farmers are feeling the impact firsthand with critical programs frozen, disaster aid delayed and vital support for crops at risk. https://t.co/UQG6efrAsT

This is what Democrats shut the government down for. They’re demanding taxpayer-funded health care for illegal aliens and holding America hostage until they get it. @HouseGOP already passed a clean CR to keep the government open. It’s time for Democrats to do their job.

.@SpeakerJohnson is exactly right. Democrats' proposal would repeal commonsense Medicaid reforms to restore taxpayer-funded health care for illegal aliens. We will not be held hostage by the Left’s reckless $1.5 trillion spending spree.

Speaker Mike Johnson is defending GOP Medicaid reforms as Democrats deny accusations they're seeking healthcare benefits for illegal immigrants amid the funding fight.

This week, I met with leaders at @SRQAirport to discuss operations and how a prolonged shutdown could mean missed paychecks for already-strained air traffic controllers. @HouseGOP acted responsibly by passing a clean CR. It’s time for Democrats to work with us to reopen.

.@HouseGOP acted responsibly by passing a clean seven-week extension of current funding levels to keep the government open. Instead, Democrats forced a shutdown by holding government funding hostage over wasteful health care subsidies for illegal aliens. https://t.co/hTvOJNYGkw

Democrats are holding the government hostage unless taxpayers spend nearly $200 billion on benefits for illegal immigrants. @SpeakerJohnson is right: this is the reality of Democrats’ partisan proposal, and @HouseGOP won’t give in to their demands
This isn’t a Republican talking point, or political spin…it’s what Democrats put IN WRITING: On page 57, section 2141, of their OWN bill, Democrats restore taxpayer-funded benefits for illegal immigrants. See for yourself: https://t.co/alc8965ARh
