FIVE FAILED VOTES.

Senate Republicans do not have the votes to pass their bill.

They need to come to the table and negotiate now to reopen the government and bring down healthcare costs.

They’re the only ones who seem to think we can’t do both.

Donald Trump really wants us to believe:

There’s not enough money to fix ACA healthcare premiums

There’s not enough money for Air Traffic Controllers

But there’s somehow $20 billion available to bail out Argentina?!

The government is shut down because Trump and the Republicans are hellbent on taking health care away from you.

And they won’t even come to the table to talk to us about it.

This is not about politics. It's about people.

Let’s break it down:

Schumer: I want to say to Donald Trump, to Johnson, and to Thune: come to the Capitol, sit down in public, and debate us on the health care crisis that’s afflicting Americans.

The public needs to see this.

House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries: “A one-year extension of the Affordable Care Act tax credits is not acceptable. It's a non-starter. It's a non-starter. It was introduced by the same people who just permanently extended massive tax breaks for their billionaire donors.”

Hakeem Jeffries: "Donald Trump is in the presidential witness protection program. No one can find him."

Hakeem Jeffries just challenged Speaker Mike Johnson to a live debate over shutdown House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries challenged House Speaker Mike Johnson “any day this week on prime time,” as the country enters its first full week of a government shutdown.

THEY ARE ARRESTED FOR USING THEIR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT TO PEACEFULLY PROTEST‼️

The protest didn't turn violent. The Trump gestapo came in with violence.

National Guard Arrives In Chicago Area Despite Judge Urging Feds To Hold Off President Donald Trump has sent National Guardsmen to Illinois despite local officials objecting. Gov. JB Pritzker previously said the deployment is part of "Trump's invasion."

Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to Chicago is an unconstitutional invasion of our city because we oppose authoritarianism. Trump, a wanna-be-dictator, has decided to ignore the courts and every elected and local leader. It's an abuse of power. PUNTO.

After military-style raid on South Shore apartments, Congress members rally around residents Federal agents landed a helicopter on a building Wednesday morning, arrested 37 people and left behind cracked windows and broken doors. Lawmakers seek a halt to all federal immigration enforcement…

Yesterday, I stood with our South Shore and immigrant communities to tell ICE to get the hell out of our city.

President Trump is ordering 300 National Guard troops into Chicago to help ICE agents terrorize immigrant families. This is not the America I know.

Two years after the attack on Israel by Hamas, I continue to mourn the innocent lives lost and pray for the 48 hostages still held.

In the years since, over 65,000 Palestinians have died. It’s time to end this war. Both peoples deserve lasting peace.

Two years after Hamas' attack on Israel, California mourns the lives lost on Oct. 7th and in the days since.

Peace and healing will come only with the safe return of all hostages — and with real action from leaders to deliver the justice that everyone in the region deserves.

"Trump called for troops in Portland. Here’s why Oregon’s governor was ready" www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

Donald Trump and Kristi Noem are using every lever to provoke our communities and incite chaos.

If Trump and Noem wanted to help Illinoisans, they would work with us — not against us — to protect public safety.

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

What's happening in Chicago is not normal.

The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.

Withdrawing is the right thing to do.

What are in the Epstein files that is worth keeping the government shutdown?

Once again: the guy who was the Dean of a law school named after a sexual predator got his speakership thanks to another sexual predator who got his predecessor fired and is now doing everything he can to defend another sexual predator. It's Johnson's thing.

If Republicans let premiums skyrocket for HealthCare.gov plans, nearly 200,000 South Carolinians will be unable to afford their plans and lose their health coverage.

Democrats are fighting to stop this from happening. Republicans should end the shutdown and join us.

I joined my fellow co-Chairs of the bipartisan Congressional Latino-Jewish Caucus, Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, @repespaillat.bsky.social, and Rep. Tony Gonzales in a joint statement to mark two years since Hamas’ October 7th terror attack:

It’s been 15 days since @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social won her election.

Republicans still won’t swear her in.

She would be the tie-breaking vote to release the Epstein files.

My statement on this second anniversary of the October 7th, 2023 attacks.

If Republicans want help from Democrats to pass a funding bill, then they need to work with us to stop the Republican health care crisis.

You can’t just demand our support without working with us.

Stop your vacation and get back to work. We'll be waiting.

Hegseth targets IG investigations as Signalgate report looms The new rules, which include changes on how quickly inspector generals must process complaints, threaten to undermine the role of a key federal watchdog.

After being investigated for leaking national secrets in a Signal group chat, Secretary Hegseth is attacking independent watchdogs to reduce oversight at the Pentagon.

What’s he afraid they’ll find?

Sen. DURBIN: Were you consulted by the White House before they deployed National Guard troops to cities like Chicago?

Bondi: I'm not going to discuss.

Durbin: Even if you talked with them?

Bondi: I'm not going to discuss.

Durbin: Why do you want to keep this secret?

If the ACA enhanced premium tax credits expire, health care costs will skyrocket:

📈A single person in their 40s earning $31K annually in NH could see their annual premiums increase $1,344.

📈A couple in their 60s earning $90K annually could see their premiums increase $14,712.
