Why were there no cameras when Donald Trump met with Democratic leaders about the shutdown?

Because Trump doesn't want people to know about the fight over health care.

House Republicans have taken a page out of Cancun Ted Cruz's playbook. They're not showing up for work because they don't want to answer questions about taking away your health care.

America is barreling toward a health care disaster.

Trump and Republicans shut the government down to rip out the brakes:
❌ 15 million lose coverage
⬆️ 20 million see premiums spike
💸 Families pay $10,000+ more a year

All to give billionaires tax cuts.

Let’s talk about the people in Mike Johnson's district who'll have to pay $16,000 more a year for health care if he gets his way.

Just so the richest people on earth can get tax breaks.

Massive immigration raid on Chicago apartment building leaves residents reeling: 'I feel defeated' The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents with Border Patrol, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested 37 people in the raid.

Flashbangs and helicopters in the dead of night, targeting our homes. Children zip-tied and separated from their families. Some reportedly naked.

How does this cruelty make us a stronger nation?

This isn’t “law and order.” This is authoritarian chaos.

Trump and Republicans shut down the government to gut health care for working Americans.

In my district alone, Republican cuts to Medicaid and the ACA would lead to 43,000 people losing coverage.

They’re wrecking health care just so billionaires can get tax cuts.

Israeli navy intercepts most Gaza-bound flotilla boats and arrests activists Israeli navy forces boarded most of the vessels and detained dozens of activists and a number of European lawmakers aboard a flotilla bring aid to Gaza,, drawing condemnation from around the world.

I am grateful to the humanitarians on this flotilla, including Austinite Greg Stoker, who attempted to deliver desperately needed aid to Gaza.

They must be immediately and safely released by Israeli authorities. End the blockade and genocide now.

My message during this Trump-manufactured shutdown is simple:

Health care over billionaires.

I’m fighting to reopen the government and save health care.

Why are Ted Cruz and John Cornyn fighting to raise Texans’ health care costs?

My office is open and working hard to help Texans navigate the shutdown.

My team and I put together a webpage which we’ll regularly update, with answers to the most common questions.

Visit casar.house.gov/government-shutdown or call our office for assistance.

Here are three more factual statements:

1. 25,000 of Mike Johnson's constituents are about to lose health care

2. 27,000 more are about to have their premiums skyrocket.

3. A 60 year old couple in his district would pay $19,000 more a year.

There's more mentions of Donald Trump in the Epstein Files than there are House Republicans in D.C. to keep the government open.

To keep the government open, Republicans have tried nothing and they’re all out of ideas.

This week, Republicans and Democrats aren't fighting about Continuing Resolutions and cloture votes.

We're fighting about whether you can afford to go to the doctor when you get sick.

National Weather Service at ‘breaking point’ as storm approaches The National Weather Service is struggling to maintain its forecasting operations due to significant staffing cuts under the Trump administration.

New reporting shows Trump has pushed the National Weather Service “to the breaking point.”

1 in 7 staff are gone. Offices can’t stay open, forecasts are strained, and staff are burning out as hurricanes hit.

Republicans should protect working families and vote for my bill to reverse these cuts.

Scoop: Schumer floats shutdown fix Schumer and Senate Democrats are starting to think about how to get out of a shutdown if one happens.

Hell no.

We don't need a delay and a pinky promise to negotiate -- we need a deal that keeps the government open and saves health care for Americans. I'm in D.C. ready to vote for that.

Republicans have refused to come to the table for months. Why would Democrats acting weak change their behavior?

Exclusive: Federal drug prosecutions fall to lowest level in decades as Trump shifts focus to deportations The number of people charged with breaking federal drug laws dropped to the slowest rate since at least the late 1990s.

Trump said he'd go after the "bad guys."

Instead, federal drug prosecutions have fallen to the lowest level in decades — because agents are pulled off fentanyl trafficking cases to hunt down innocent families.

Trump’s immigration policies don’t work.

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.

While Trump makes billions from corrupt crypto deals:
🏠Rents up ~4%
⚡Electricity up 6%
🔥Natural gas up 14%
🛒Groceries spiking from tariffs
🏥Health insurance premiums to jump 75%.

Working families are struggling to cover the basics like rent, food, and electricity. That’s the cost of corruption.

I spoke with leaders from across Latin America about how we can restore democracy across the hemisphere by fighting for working people.

If no one is above the law, when are you indicting Tom Homan?

Republicans just cut Medicaid to give this guy a huge tax break.

Speaker Johnson, Adelita Grijalva won her election and her constituents deserve a voice.

Seat her now.

Why are Trump and most House Republicans fighting to keep the Epstein files secret?

Turns out, their rich and powerful friends are all over them.

Release all the files now.

A government shutdown may sound complicated, but it's not.

Democrats want to protect health care for working families.

Republicans want to slash health care. Millions would lose coverage. Millions more would pay higher prices.

That's what is at stake.

New renderings show more details of White House ballroom under construction The Trump administration announced in July that a 90,000-square-foot ballroom with a seated capacity for 650 people will be constructed in the White House's East Wing.

Trump: 'We are so broke 15 million people need to lose their health insurance.'

Wannabe-dictators who want to rip off working people aren’t just a problem in the United States. 

This week, I met with heads of state from across Latin America visiting the United Nations to talk about standing up for democracy and working people across the region.

White House to agencies: Prepare mass firing plans for a potential shutdown In memo, the Trump administration says the Reduction-in-Force plans would go beyond standard shutdown furloughs.

The difference couldn't be clearer.

Democrats want to keep the government open and fund health care.

Republicans want to shut down the government so they can cut programs that help working people.
