Speaker Johnson: Federal employees aren’t being paid. Nutrition cuts may cause children to go hungry. Millions are seeing their health premiums soar.

End the 6 week paid vacation you’ve taken. Join your Democratic colleagues and negotiate an end to this shutdown.

Coffee prices are up 21%.

Ground beef prices up 13%.

Big reason why?

Trump’s chaotic tariffs on Brazil.

I voted to repeal these tariffs along with every Democrat and a few Republicans, and it PASSED the Senate.

All eyes now on House Republicans who are still on vacation.

No. I will not vote to allow 15 million people to lose their health insurance and watch 50,000 Americans die each year unnecessarily.

No. I will not vote to double premiums for 20 million.

Republicans must come to the table and negotiate an end to the shutdown.

No one in the GOP Hitler chat was a "kid" We checked. Sorry, JD Vance.

Hitlergate wasn't "kids"β€”it was 20- and 30-something GOP flacks.

Apparently $20B of our taxpayer money wasn't enough to bail out Argentina.

Now Trump wants U.S. banks to divert ANOTHER $20B away from lending to American businesses, farmers, and families to prop up Milei's corrupt presidency and failing economy.

So much for America First.

If you are a federal worker, there are several credit unions and other financial institutions that are offering zero interest loans during the government shutdown.

Pope Leo XIV says 'inhuman treatment of immigrants' in the U.S. isn't 'pro-life' Pope Leo XIV weighed in on U.S. politics, saying that Catholic politicians must be judged on the full range of their policy positions and suggesting that the country's immigration policy is "inhuman."

Republicans are doubling our insurance premiums. They are throwing 15 million people off their health care.

As a result, tens of thousands will unnecessarily die so that the 1% can get a trillion dollars in tax breaks.

Unacceptable. We cannot allow it.

We are witnessing a full blown war on science, public health & truth itself.

Let me be clear: Vaccines have prevented more than 1.1 million deaths, 500 million cases of illness & 32 million hospitalizations.

That's a lot of moms and dads who don't have to bury their children.

RFK Jr does not just reject vaccines. He rejects science and must step down | Bernie Sanders Kennedy is unfit to be our nation’s leading public health official because he rejects the fundamental principles of modern science

For generations doctors have understood that germs β€” like bacteria or viruses β€” cause infectious diseases.
Β 
Yet we now have an HHS Secretary casting doubt on the germ theory β€” the foundation of modern medicine.

That’s not only unacceptable, it is dangerous. RFK Jr. must resign.

Today, I was joined by organizations representing 100,000 doctors & medical experts.

They know β€” I know β€” that vaccines work, and have saved millions of lives.

We cannot allow Sec. Kennedy or anyone else to undermine faith in science and put the health of our children at risk.

As a sexual abuse survivor, I need to talk about my anger.

I'm so angry about the government not stopping Epstein when they had the opportunity, causing hundreds more girls to fall prey to him because of inaction. I'm enraged about the cover up. And I'm furious about lack of care for young girls.
