CFPB Says Money Poised to Run Out After Opinion on Fed Funding The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau told a federal court Monday that the Trump administration has used a new legal opinion that prevents it from drawing money from the Federal Reserve, setting it on a course to deplete its funding by the end of the year.

I am the first member of Congress to call on Senator Schumer to be replaced for caving on health care to Trump.

Demand Healthcare Subsidy Guarantees Before Ending Shutdown I am deeply concerned about the recent vote to end the government shutdown without securing guarantees for healthcare subsidies. This decision is a grave mistake that could have long-lasting consequences for countless Americans who rely on Affordable Care Act tax credits. The compromise legislation, while funding the government, fails to ensure the extension of crucial health care subsidies set to expire on January 1st. This is not just a policy issue; it's a matter of life and death for many of your constituents who depend on these subsidies to access essential healthcare. The mounting costs of the shutdown, while significant, pale in comparison to the potential human cost of allowing these subsidies to lapse. We've already seen the immediate impacts of the shutdown: flight cancellations, delays in food aid, and increased demand for food banks. Imagine the exponential increase in hardship if millions lose their ability to afford healthcare. I urge you to reconsider this position and stand firm with those who rightfully view this as a betrayal of the American people. The agreement to reverse mass firings of federal workers and ensure back pay is commendable, but it should not come at the expense of guaranteed healthcare subsidies. Time is of the essence. With the January 1st expiration date looming, we cannot afford to wait for a "later vote" on extending these critical ACA tax credits. The uncertainty alone could cause immense stress and financial planning difficulties for families across our state and the nation. I implore you to return to the negotiating table and fight for a deal that includes immediate, guaranteed extensions of healthcare subsidies. The health and well-being of your constituents depend on your unwavering commitment to this cause. Don't let this opportunity slip away – stand strong for affordable healthcare now.

Remove Schumer, punish the 8, withhold unanimous consent. After your disastrous handling of the shutdown, losing all leverage to keep ACA subsidies and losing Medicaid, I have no faith in your representation. Now they won't be able to afford healthcare. You wasted the political momentum from the election and threw it away for nothing gained. All those people suffering under the shutdown was for nothing. Remove Schumer as leadership, punish the 8 who voted for this complete compitulation and withhold unanimous consent. You may be done fighting, I'm not.

Ellis is done. The preliminary injunction has been entered.

Ellis grants plaintiff's request to certify the lawsuit as a class action, which means it applies to more than just the named plaintiffs and includes all nonviolent protestors as well as those engaged in news gathering & religious practice

Stop the Lies and Start Governing I received your form letter about the government shutdown, and I am appalled by how riddled it is with distortions, half-truths, and outright lies. Your attempt to shift blame to Democrats is pure political theater — and frankly, an insult to the intelligence of your constituents. You claim Democrats “held the budget process hostage” to demand “healthcare coverage for illegal aliens.” That’s not only false — it’s shameless fearmongering. The truth is, the shutdown was caused by the chaos and infighting within your own party. Republicans control both chambers, yet can’t agree among themselves long enough to keep the government running. That’s not leadership — that’s failure. You also talk about “restoring fiscal accountability.” Spare us. You and your party had no problem blowing up the deficit with trillion-dollar tax cuts for billionaires and corporations. But when it comes to investing in healthcare, education, or programs that actually help working people, suddenly you rediscover “fiscal discipline.” That’s not accountability — that’s hypocrisy. You say you’re “doing everything in your power to be part of the solution.” From where I sit, you’re part of the problem — a party that has surrendered to extremism, spends more time manufacturing outrage than solving problems, and seems allergic to the truth. Missourians deserve facts, honesty, and leaders who care more about their country than their political careers. Start telling the truth, stop parroting party propaganda, and do the job you were elected to do: govern. Also, APOLOGIZE to me for all of the lies. I'm sending your letter to all media outlets because it is disgusting!

This is a wildly dangerous sign — the idea that there are only five SCOTUS votes for paying congressionally mandated invoices for work *already* done!? This should be as basic a test of Article I as you can get. And that does not bode well for decisions to come.

ICE unlawfully ripped a woman from Rayito Del Sol, a daycare and private business, in front of parents and children. They did not possess a judicial warrant and she was in America legally. Her children are also detained.

I understand that. I’m saying that the more appropriate location to go to is Broadview where the ICE detention center is located. That facility should be surrounded by angry citizens 24/7.
