Rep. Angie Craig

It’s been a week since Republicans shut down the government, and they’re nowhere to be found.

It’s time they return to DC to work with us to fix the health care crisis they created.

We must continue working toward returning the hostages and ensuring these horrors are never repeated.

We must finalize a lasting ceasefire that establishes peace, security and self-determination for all in the region.

On October 7, we remember the horrific attacks Hamas carried out against the Israeli people two years ago today.

While your health insurance premiums are skyrocketing – my Republican colleagues are on vacation.  

It’s time they get serious, address the health care crisis they’ve created and fund the government.

You know what they say about a broken clock...

It’s been 6 days since Republicans shut down the government.

In that time: health insurance premiums have skyrocketed, federal workers are hurting and Republicans have done nothing to end the health care crisis they created.

It’s time for them to come to the table and end this chaos.

If Republicans want to keep the government shut down so they can avoid addressing the urgent health care crisis — they shouldn’t get paid for it with your tax dollars.

My No Pay for Disarray Act would suspend all pay for Members of Congress during the shutdown.

Unlike my Republican colleagues, I’ll fight for veterans all the time – not just when it’s convenient.

America’s veterans received this blatantly political and misleading email from the VA.

It failed to mention that Republicans have cut millions of dollars this year in food assistance and health care for those who served.

It’s past time Trump and Republicans end this chaos and address the mess they’ve created.

Minnesotans’ health insurance premiums will rise upwards of 20% next year thanks to the Republican-made health care crisis.

This is the most significant rise in premiums since the last Trump Administration (not a coincidence).

That’s why I’m holding the line until Republicans address the mess they’ve created.

The 2026 MNSure premiums were just released, and they’re even worse than anticipated.  

Republicans shut down the government because they don’t think addressing this health care crisis is urgent – but Minnesotans are seeing higher costs right now.

If Republicans are serious about supporting our troops during a shutdown, they’ll put this bill to a vote.

American troops shouldn’t have to go without pay because Republicans couldn’t do their job and fund the government.

I introduced the Pay Our Military Bill with @repemiliasykes.bsky.social to ensure our troops get the pay they deserve for their critical work.

To all those in Minnesota who observe: I’m wishing you a peaceful and reflective Yom Kippur and a blessed fast.

If Republicans don’t work with Democrats to extend ACA premium tax credits – Americans’ insurance premiums will rise by 114%.

Republicans would rather shut down the government than work with us to lower your health care costs.

My office was open yesterday. It’s open today. And it will be open every day through the Republican shutdown.

My statement on President Trump and Republicans' government shutdown:

Republicans are refusing to do their jobs and negotiate a bipartisan funding bill. They shouldn’t get a paycheck for holding Americans’ health care hostage.

I’m introducing a bill that suspends all pay for Members of Congress during a government shutdown.

President Trump and congressional Republicans want to shut down the government but keep working to make your life harder.

It’s time to check them.

You can’t make this stuff up: this is the front page of the HUD website.

The Trump Admin knows they own this shutdown — that’s why they’re already trying to run from it.

Made a few edits.

Government funding runs out tomorrow.

Democrats are in Washington, ready to negotiate a bipartisan funding bill that keeps the government open and lowers the cost of health care for millions of hardworking Americans.

Will our Republican colleagues come to the table?

Make no mistake – this means that health care costs will go up for everyone in the marketplace.

They would rather shut down the government than make health care affordable.

President Trump and Republicans are refusing to extend the ACA premium tax credits that nearly 100,000 hardworking Minnesotans rely on.

Public lands and monuments are a vital part of our nation’s rich culture and history – but Republicans are trying to sell them off to fund tax breaks for billionaires and large corporations.

This #PublicLandsDay, I’m standing up for our country’s invaluable public lands.

Republicans control the House, the Senate and the White House.

They have the power to fund the government.

If there is a shutdown in four days, it’s because they failed to do their job for the American people.

I joined 179 of my colleagues in urging PM Netanyahu to halt any plans for unilateral annexation and work with the U.S. toward a two-state solution.

Any move toward unilateral annexation of the West Bank would undermine decades of U.S. policy and threaten the potential for peace, prosperity and security for the entire region.

This Admin continues to drag their feet in enforcing the Fair Housing Act.

I’m pushing the Department of Housing and Urban Development to stop housing discrimination - because every Minnesotan deserves access to housing.
