It’s Tuesday afternoon, around 4 pm – and there is literally no one here in the House of Representatives. Not a soul on what should be a busy day. And, why? Because the GOP has shut it down. Literally.

My Republican colleagues want to see the Affordable Care Act subsidies expire, raising healthcare costs for just about everyone. I believe that every American deserves healthcare they can afford. This is what we are fighting for.

Six days into this shutdown. Families are hurting, thousands of paychecks are frozen, and now Trump wants to fire federal workers. It’s time for real leadership.

MODERATOR: Are you willing to commit to NOT raise the sales tax? MIKIE SHERRILL: I'm not going to commit to anything right now. On Nov. 4, vote NO on Mikie Sherrill. ❌

Trump's threat to deploy our active duty troops to U.S. cities in a "war" against our citizens is un-American and dangerous. We need to rein in Presidential power, and my bill to reform the Insurrection Act of 1807 does just that.

Oregon does not need nor want the National Guard. President Trump's gross overreach of power shows that he believes he is above the Constitution. I am glad that a federal judge has granted a temporary restraining order on the Trump Administration from sending the California

The government shutdown isn't a mistake, it's part of the Donald Trump playbook.

This Republican Shutdown is Project 2025 in action. Trump is using this moment to inflict maximum pain on the American people — ripping away health care, raising costs, catering to his billionaire buddies, and ignoring our checks and balances like an authoritarian.

Democrats are fighting to extend the ACA’s enhanced tax credits because if Congress fails to act immediately, hundreds of thousands of Americans will lose their health care, and millions more will see their premiums skyrocket by an average of 114%. A 60-year-old couple making

If you ever wondered what Republican “governance” looks like, this is it. A government shutdown. Federal workers who don’t get paid. A President who golfs during a shutdown. National guards and ICE deployed to attack and arrest Americans. Millions of Americans losing their

House Republicans have taken a page out of Cancun Ted Cruz's playbook. They're not showing up for work because they don't want to answer questions about taking away your health care.

America is barreling toward a health care disaster. Trump and Republicans shut the government down to rip out the brakes: ❌ 15 million lose coverage ⬆️ 20 million see premiums spike 💸 Families pay $10,000+ more a year All to give billionaires tax cuts.

Working hard? House Republicans are taking a three week vacation in the middle of a shutdown. This lie about “health care for illegal aliens” has been repeatedly fact checked as false. Democrats are fighting to lower costs and protect health care for the American people.
Republicans have been working very hard to fix the broken systems in Washington. But Chuck Schumer and the old guard prefer the old ways. Democrats picked the wrong fight at the wrong time for the wrong reasons. Demanding $1.5 Trillion and free healthcare for illegal

Trump said he would lower costs on day one- not shut down Pennsylvanians’ health care by doubling their insurance premiums. This should not be a partisan issue - hard-working Americans across the country, in red and blue districts alike, rely on ACA credits to afford their
This is a remarkable statistic: 18.7 million out of the 24.3 million Obamacare enrollees are in states won by President Trump in 2024.

Flashbangs and helicopters in the dead of night, targeting our homes. Children zip-tied and separated from their families. Some reportedly naked. How does this cruelty make us a stronger nation? This isn’t “law and order.” This is authoritarian chaos.
The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents with Border Patrol, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested 37 people in the raid. https://t.co/eCGf0o6mAc

We do not deploy American forces against Americans in our own cities. Our military is not trained for domestic law enforcement. It’s illegal and un-American.

What kind of country do we live in if Trump’s goons can break and enter, destroy your home, and detain you for hours for no reason? It’s sure as hell not a free one.
🚨What @DHSGov pulled in Chicago on Tuesday is insanely unconstitutional. They raided an apartment building, smashed down every door and dragged entire families into the street, and detained everyone for hours ("Kavanaugh stops"). One U.S. citizen was held for FIVE HOURS.

We can't settle for Republicans’ promise of later negotiations. Because every time this Administration says something, they go back on their word. If Republicans need Democratic votes, they need to keep health care premiums from skyrocketing for the American people
