Republicans are lying about the shutdown because they're desperate to distract from Trump’s bill and reduced ACA tax credits stripping health care from 15 million and substantially increasing premiums for millions more.

They want you to ignore this looming health care crisis.

A majority of Trump supporters back extending Obamacare subsidies, poll finds Without the tax credits, people will lose coverage, putting their health and finances at risk, experts say.

78% of Americans, and 57% of MAGA Republicans, want Congress to keep HealthCare.gov plans affordable by keeping tax credits at the same level.

Republicans are out of touch with their own voters and need to come to the table to end this shutdown.

It’s telling that throughout Republicans' shutdown lies, they aren't denying Trump’s bill and reduced ACA tax credits will strip health care from 15 million Americans and double average premiums for 17 million more.

Pay attention to what they aren’t saying, not what they are.

As GOP weighs Obamacare cuts, the party's constituents are more likely to use marketplace coverage, poll finds Republicans are considering a massive domestic policy bill that would slash funding for Affordable Care Act exchanges. But many GOP voters rely on them.

Just a reminder that more Republicans are enrolled in Affordable Care Act health care plans than Democrats.

Yet Republicans in Congress are refusing to negotiate to keep HealthCare.gov plans affordable.

Early polls show Trump and GOP taking more blame than Democrats for shutdown The national surveys taken in the final days of September and the first day of the shutdown find that voters are more inclined to blame Trump and his party. But many are uncertain.

Republicans have been bending over backwards claiming Democrats are to blame for this shutdown.

But the American people aren’t stupid.

Far more Americans rightly believe Republicans are responsible.

Democrats are proposing we extend tax credits that are helping millions of Americans better afford health care. Without them, ACA premiums will double.

71% of Americans support that position.

That’s the “crazy” policy Republicans are criticizing us for.

Republicans aren't really opposing Democrats' push to protect millions of Americans from losing health care over legitimate concerns over "health care for undocumented immigrants.”

They could easily work with Democrats to save health care for American citizens.

They aren't.

During Trump’s first term, Republicans tried to repeal Obamacare 3 times.

Last year, Trump said he had a “concept of a plan” to replace it.

Now, Republicans say we shouldn’t extend Obamacare funding because of undocumented immigrants—who are already ineligible.

Don’t listen to them.

Republicans don't want you to know that, and are instead lying about "undocumented immigrants" to hide the truth.

Trump and Republicans just voted to kick 7.5 million Americans off Medicaid and previously voted to end Obamacare 3 times.

20 million Americans are about to see their health care premiums go up because of their inaction.

It's sad to see Republicans lying to the American people because their health care policies are so unpopular.

Fact: Trump's "big beautiful bill" kicks 7.5 million off health care.

Fact: Trump tried repealing Obamacare 3 times and has never been interested in protecting it.

I’d like to wish a blessed Yom Kippur to all those celebrating in South Carolina and across the world.

I hope this day of atonement and repentance brings you another year of peace, hope, and happiness.

Republicans would rather shut down the government than prevent health care premium increases for 20 million Americans.

America is teetering on the verge of a catastrophic health care crisis.

Democrats want to fix it.

Republicans don't.

‘I’m From Here!’: U.S. Citizens Are Ending Up in Trump’s Dragnet

Trump’s reckless and cruel immigration policies are resulting in arrests of completely innocent American citizens.

Terrorizing American families, schoolchildren, and workers in the name of immigration enforcement does nothing to improve the lives of the American people.

The violent attack at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc is an unthinkable tragedy.

No one should fear the threat of any kind of violence in their place of worship.

My prayers are with the victims, their families, and the Grand Blanc community.

Trump seems to spend a lot of time plotting baseless investigations into people who've held him accountable.

That means time not spent bringing down costs, building more housing, creating good jobs.

He’s more focused on his grievances than fighting for the American people.

Here's a recap of Trump's week:

- Spewed false and dangerous claims about Tylenol and childhood vaccines
- Announced new tariffs that will make furniture and home construction more expensive
- Directed the Justice Department to indict James Comey

How does any of this help you?

Trump targeting Comey with bogus charges isn’t just about Comey—it's about all of us.

Trump's punishing people who've resisted his power in the past to intimidate those who might push back in the future.

It’s incumbent upon all of us to keep fighting.

If a man walking down the street was yelling this, you’d quickly turn around and run the other way.

Listen to your doctor, not this guy.

Suspect in Dallas ICE facility shooting was targeting ICE agents, acted alone, federal officials say The U.S. Attorney's Office said evidence showed that Joshua Jahn had been planning the attack for some time and acted alone.

Yesterday’s shooting at an ICE facility is deplorable. There's no place for violence in America.

We can speak out against Trump’s destructive immigration policies. We can protest as ICE carries them out.

But political violence is absolutely unacceptable.

Trump admits his tariffs are hurting farmers.

And instead of stopping the tariffs, he’s bailing out farmers with tariff revenue Americans are paying through higher prices.

Because of Trump's trade war, American farm products aren't selling, and Americans are paying the cost.

Trump threatening ABC is about one thing: power.

It's all about MAGA controlling the media and dictating every facet of our being.

They oppose the freedom of the press because they oppose the freedom of the American people.

I'm joining @cnn.com NewsNight with Abby Phillip at 10PM EST.

Tune in.

Renewables like wind and solar generate cheap energy and create jobs.

Trump wants Americans to pay more for energy and to cede good-paying manufacturing jobs to China.

For Trump it's not America first—It's America last.

3 reasons your grocery bill is getting more expensive Here's why groceries are costing more, and what American consumers can do to save money at the supermarket.

Why are food prices rising?

Because of Trump’s tariffs, climate change, and a shortage of farm workers.

Let’s face it: Trump’s agenda—reckless tariffs, denying climate change, mass deportations—is driving up costs for American families.

From electricity to rent, monthly bills are tipping the inflation scale Housing, health care, food and utility prices are outpacing inflation and taking an outsize share of Americans’ paychecks.

The cost of essentials like housing, food, health care, and electricity is outpacing inflation.

Trump promised to cut these costs but is instead launching trade wars, seeking retribution against “enemies,” and injecting chaos into our economy.

Coffee prices haven’t surged this much in decades | CNN Business Coffee drinkers are in for a jolt long before their first sip.

The cost of coffee has jumped nearly 21% compared to a year ago.

A big reason is Trump’s 50% tariff on goods from Brazil—the world’s largest coffee producer and America’s main supplier.

This is Trumpflation.

Grocery prices rise at the fastest pace since 2022 as Trump tariffs bite On the campaign trail, Trump promised lower grocery prices.

The cost of groceries last month went up at its fastest rate in three years.

Trump keeps claiming grocery prices are coming down, but grocery bills don’t lie.

Trump’s “Border Czar” Tom Homan, leading Trump’s destructive "mass deportation" effort, was caught last year taking a $50K cash bribe to help land Trump admin contracts.

Trump ended the investigation.
