Statement from Chairman Pete Aguilar and Vice Chair Ted Lieu on SpeakerPelosi’s Retirement Announcement.

Your daily reminder that Republicans control the House, Senate and White House. They could reopen the government TODAY if they wanted to.

Nancy Pelosi will go down in the history books as the greatest Speaker of all time. She changed this country for the better and her legacy will live on in our caucus. House Democrats are grateful for @pelosi.house.gov's decades of service and wish her the best in this next chapter.

House Democrats stand united against Donald Trump's illegal withholding of SNAP benefits. People will go hungry, and it will be because of Trump and Republicans.

Trump is tearing down the East Wing, remodeling bathrooms, hosting Great Gatsby parties and gifting $40 billion to Argentina during this shutdown. Meanwhile, American families are wondering how they’re going to afford their health care. You can’t make this up.

The American people are smart. They know Democrats are on their side fighting for health care and they know Republicans aren’t. This is a REPUBLICAN SHUTDOWN.

When Argentina needed $40 billion of taxpayer dollars, Trump and Republicans delivered. When hardworking American families need affordable health care and food assistance, Trump and Republicans… turn their backs on them. These are Republicans’ priorities.

We spy with our little eyes Republicans in control of the House, Senate and White House. They could reopen the government and end this shutdown. They choose not to.

The Republican agenda: Make America Hungry Again. A $186 BILLION cut from SNAP. Lapse in benefits for over 40 MILLION Americans. Only partially funding the SNAP program. It’s just plain wrong.

Now presenting, the Republicans responsible for this government shutdown.

The rising costs of health care premiums will devastate Americans across the country. Republicans created this health care crisis. Democrats are fighting to help clean up their mess. abcnews.go.com/US/aca-obama...

‼️Partial SNAP funding is not enough‼️ Millions of Americans need their FULL benefits to make ends meet.

Trump and Republicans set aside $40 BILLION to bail out Argentina. But they can’t do the same to lower Americans’ costs and save health care? Shameful.

House Democrats came together to show our appreciation for the U.S. Capitol Police. Their service, today and every day, helps keep us safe and they deserve our thanks.

The high cost of living is hitting everyone and everything, including the cost of Halloween candy. www.cnn.com/2025/10/26/b...

House Democrats are fighting to protect health care and SNAP. It’s time for House Republicans to get serious and work with us to reopen the government.

Republicans control the House. Republicans control the Senate. Republicans control the White House. They could do something to lower Americans’ health care costs now, but they’re CHOOSING not to.

Republicans refuse to come to the negotiating table to save health care. Open enrollment starts TOMORROW. Millions of Americans will see a significant rise in the cost of their health care if Republicans don’t work with Democrats NOW.

Democrats always have, and always will fight for Americans’ health care.

SNAP benefits will soon run out. Health care premiums will go up. Federal workers will miss their first full paycheck. Republicans are using the American people as political pawns in their shutdown. They control the government, they could fix this now.

Last time we checked, Republicans still control the House, Senate and White House. They have the power to reopen the government, but they refuse.

When House Republicans wanted to pass their Big Ugly Law to strip health care away from millions of Americans, they RAN back to DC. But now that the government is shut down and health care costs are about to skyrocket? They’re nowhere to be found.

It’s been 28 days of this Republican shutdown. Enough is enough. Get back to work and reopen the government.

Americans shouldn’t have to give up their health care coverage because Republicans refuse to come to the table to save health care. It’s just not right. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Republicans ARE in charge of government. Here’s a visual for next time.

Millions of people will see an increase in their health care costs if Republicans don’t help us extend the ACA tax credits. In blue states, red states and purple states. This is a life or death matter. It’s time Republicans start acting like it.

Meet James, an Army veteran and current federal worker. He and millions of veterans around the country rely on the VA to receive health care. Yet, Trump and Republicans want to cut funding for VA services while they spend $40B on Argentina and $300M on a luxury ballroom.

Here is a quick rundown of Republican’s priorities. Billionaire donors > working and middle class Americans Argentina's economy > American farmers Staying home > reopening the government.

So, Trump's MAIN priority is a $300 MILLION ballroom? Not lowering costs. Not saving health care. Not reopening the government. Got it.

Open enrollment is fast approaching and as Americans brace for increased health care premiums, Republicans continue to refuse to come to the table to save health care and lower costs.

Trump gave Argentina $40 billion, but it could've been spent making life better for AMERICANS. Here's how: - Developing a cure for pediatric cancer - Delivering health care to millions of Americans - Building VA hospitals - Paying farmers already struggling with Trump's tariffs

All Donald Trump does is lie to the American public—about lowering costs, protecting Medicaid and demolishing the East Wing of the White House. It’s sad, but it’s not surprising.

It’s shameful that House Republicans refuse to come to work during the government shutdown. Instead of fixing the problem they’ve created, they’re running away from it.

Instead of working to lower costs, Republicans want to raise them even higher—including the cost of health care.  Americans can’t afford this Republican agenda.

House Republicans have been on vacation since September 19th. The governing party doesn’t seem to want to govern.

Found Republicans’ to-do list.

“Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva (D-Ariz.) said there has been no communication between her and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), who is responsible for swearing her in as a member of Congress.” Hey, Speaker Johnson, do your job and swear her in! thehill.com/homenews/hou...

Republicans slashed Medicaid and are raising the cost of health care for millions of Americans. That’s why Democrats are fighting back to protect America’s health care.

Trump and Republicans: $40 BILLION to Argentina. $172 MILLION for Kristi Noem’s private jets. $0 to lower your health care costs.

Day 21 of the Republican Shutdown. House Republicans need to come back to DC, stop playing political games and work with us to reopen the government.

Happy Diwali to all those celebrating! May the Festival of Lights bring you and your loved ones joy and prosperity.

Trump and Republicans want to spend $40 billion on Argentina but they refuse to lower Americans’ costs or save Americans’ health care. So much for “America First.” apnews.com/article/trum...

Democrats are fighting for health care. Republicans… can’t quite figure out what they’re fighting for.

Trump and Republicans’ billionaire-first economic policies led to this government shutdown. They chose tax breaks over Americans’ health care and created a health care crisis. Now, instead of fixing their mess, House Republicans are on vacation.

Our federal workers are under attack. They do important work for the American people, but Donald Trump doesn’t care. He's fired thousands and continues to use the federal workforce as political pawns.

We’ve entered the third week of the Republican shutdown. Democrats are fighting to save health care. Republicans are still on vacation.

House Republicans claim to be “working around the clock to fix health care.” How can you be ‘working around the clock’ if you haven’t been in DC since September 19th?

We're asking House Republicans for one thing: Come back to the table. Come back to the table and let's talk about the importance of health care to the American people.

This is Jonna. Like nearly 600,000 other Iowans, her children rely on Medicaid to receive life-saving care. Their health care is on the line if Republicans keep up their assault on Americans' health care. Watch to hear more of her story.
