Even as Missourians regain our rights in the courts, Republicans are trying to trick us into giving them up.

We will always stand up for all Missourians rights, whether it's helping pass Amendment 3 last year, fighting Republicans in Jefferson City to protect it, or opposing Amendment 3 next year.

They don't even have a concept of a strategy.

Democrats have been working to get the government open and protect Americans from Trump's massive health insurance premium hikes for weeks. Republicans need to step up and join us.

Last night in Chicago, Vice President Kamala Harris just gave me the pep talk and advice I never knew I needed. πŸ₯Ή

Our generation is ready to lead and I couldn’t be more grateful for her passion for our country and the trail she’s blazed through for all of us.

Not only are the RIFs malicious, an action that can lead to thousands of wrongful termination lawsuits, but they are expressly illegal.

Several years back Congress passed a law banning reductions in force during a government shutdown. Every single one of those workers' jobs is protected by law

During my visit to a People’s Health Center, I spoke with families who rely on the WIC program for healthy meals. The Republican-led shutdown is jeopardizing essential nutrition support for mothers & kids across MO. Congress must act now to reopen the gov’t and ensure programs like WIC are funded.

It’s deja vu, and the worst of its kind!

Republicans want to double your healthcare costs.

Republicans want to rip healthcare away from 15 million people.

Republicans want to give their billionaire donors handouts at your expense.

And they’re lying about it every chance they get.

Thanks to Republicans gutting Obamacare, the average annual health-insurance premium for the 22M Americans covered will increase 114% starting January 1, $888 to $1,904. And will triple, quadruple, almost quintuple for the neediest in 10 super-GOP states.

Dems are playing hardball to stop that.

Republicans know Missourians don't support their policies so instead of simple, direct ballot measures, they lie to Missouri voters.

We are not going to stand by and let them. Regardless of what the courts decide, we will be working hard to make sure Missourians undersand what's on the ballot.

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:

Let me be clear: It’s ILLEGAL to deny federal workers back pay after a shutdown.

There’s a 2019 law that guarantees it, but Trump is once again trying to break the law.

You don’t get to punish people for doing their jobs just because you’re failing at yours.

Government Shutdown: What You Need to Know I know many people are worried about this government shutdown. I am doing everything I can to push for a bipartisan solution to end this crisis as quickly as possible. Families in St. Louis and across the country should not have to carry the burden of Washington gridlock.

It’s Day 6 of the government shutdown, and Republicans in Congress still have no plan in place to evade health care costs skyrocketing at the end of this year. I’m staying in the fight with House Dems. In the meantime, please check my website for resources on the government shutdown: bell.house.gov

Today is the 17th day in a row that House Republicans have refused to come to work.

Instead of preventing health care costs from skyrocketing, they’re preventing the Epstein files from being released.

Regardless of what Republicans try to do, the law is clear. We have 90 days from the end of the special session to collect around 117,000 signatures across the state.

We are heads down talking to voters and collecting signatures. Thank you to all the lawyers working to protect our rights in court!

But they're still deciding whether to bring back the House at all next week amid the shutdown

They were admittedly over-confident after 3 Senate Dems initially voted for the CR - expecting Thune would pick up more this week

He did not. It just failed again β€” with the shutdown dragging into next week.”
