Rep. LaMonica McIver

This week in the 10th…

I kept working for you, despite the Republican shutdown.

Government shutdown: What happens if the premium tax credits on Obamacare expire? Unless Congress acts. the cost of health insurance on the ACA marketplace will increase sharply for enrollees in 2026.

Premiums are already too high—I hear it from people every day. And if Trump won’t come to the table, people will go bankrupt over care, they won’t be able to afford their prescriptions at the pharmacy, they might not be able to get care at all. Republicans don’t give a damn.

Johnson rallies House GOP after he calls off votes amid shutdown fight The speaker said he’d give members 48-hour notice if they’re needed back in Washington.

We’re staying in the fight for your healthcare. Because that’s what leadership is.

On the other hand, Mike Johnson just gave his Republican members another week of vacation…

As if the furloughs and absence of a paycheck for federal workers weren’t enough, the Trump administration confirmed again what we knew to be true: he wants to permanently fire thousands more from “Democrat Agencies.”

Plainly: they’re going after people the president doesn’t like…

Live updates: Democrats stand firm on healthcare demands as Trump says shutdown can 'clear out dead wood' The US president says he will look to cut 'Democrat agencies' in what he calls an 'unprecedented opportunity'.

Donald Trump wanted a shutdown.

Republicans gave it to him because they don’t care about doing what they were elected to do. They don’t want to serve the people, lower health costs, or do *anything* to make life easier for everyday Americans.

This Republican Shutdown is hurting people in NJ and nationwide.

Join me tomorrow for a tele-town hall to discuss what this shutdown means and where we go from here. I’ll be answering your questions and making sure you have the information and resources you need.

Affordable Care Act premiums will rise 114% if enhanced subsidies expire, health policy researcher finds The federal government may shut down if Congress can't reach a deal about enhanced premium tax credits, slated to expire at the end of 2025.

Trump said he'd cut costs on day one. In reality: costs are up across the board because of his tariffs and Big Ugly Bill. Now, he and his party shut down the government because they won't even consider making a deal to stop health costs from skyrocketing.

Wishing all those observing Yom Kippur an easy fast and a meaningful holiday.

We fought for years to secure funding for the Gateway program—not because it helps Democrats or Republicans, but because it helps commuters. Livelihoods are on the line, and these investments are too important to be thrown away for partisan games and Trump’s backward agenda.

Let’s be clear: this shutdown is on Republicans, but that doesn’t mean I stop working for you.

The US government has shut down. Here's what to know The federal government officially entered a shutdown at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday amid an impasse on Capitol Hill over competing congressional spending bills.

Republicans have literally shut down the government rather than take action to keep healthcare costs from going through the roof.

Democrats remain ready to work. It’s time for Republicans to do their jobs.

Trump is refusing to come to the table to keep healthcare costs from skyrocketing. If the government shuts down tonight, we know exactly where to place the blame: on the president and the Republicans enabling him.

GOP Official Calls for Democratic Congresswoman to Be Executed As the nation talks about the rise of political violence, a Republican official blatantly called for Representative Pramila Jayapal to be hanged.

An elected official is calling for a member of Congress to be killed. @jayapal.house.gov is a champion of nonviolence, a public servant, and a friend. Calling for violence to meet nonviolent resistance is horrific, and it puts every American in danger.

2 girls on e-bikes killed in Cranford, N.J. hit-and-run, police sources say Two girls in Cranford, N.J. were struck and killed while riding e-bikes Monday on Burnside Ave.

This is so heartbreaking. Two babies taken from their families and our community too soon. I’m thinking about the victims and all those that love them.

Republicans control the House. And the Senate. And the White House.

If they shut down the government because they won’t come to the table to stop health care costs from skyrocketing, the American people won’t forget it.

At least 4 killed and 8 others wounded after shooting and fire at Michigan church | CNN At least 4 people were killed in a shooting at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc Township, Michigan. Follow for live updates.

I’m praying for those killed, and for comfort for their families and the community grieving in Michigan.

Americans shouldn’t have to live in fear. Not in their churches or their schools—not anywhere.

This moment feels incredibly dangerous. Gun violence and political violence are too common. We must unequivocally condemn both. There has been entirely too much pain. I am praying for the lives lost, and for our country.

Thank you @aamc.org for having me today to discuss diabetes care and how we can reduce preventable amputations. My ARC Act helps fill in the gaps to accessible healthcare, and I will keep working in Congress to confront the devastating impacts of Trump’s Big Ugly Bill.

One year ago today, I stepped into Congress with a mission to serve NJ-10 and stand up for our democracy. That mission hasn’t changed. I’m proud of the work we've started—and even more committed to the fight ahead. Democracy is worth protecting. Always.

Republicans in Congress are trying to cut nearly $2 BILLION from federal HIV programs. Slashing prevention, care, and lifesaving treatment for over 500,000 people, these cuts would worsen health disparities and cost lives. We must act now to #SaveHIVFunding.

See you soon, East Orange!
