It would cost $38 billion to extend ACA credits next year and prevent millions of people from losing their healthcare. Reminder: Trump sent $40 billion to Argentina for no reason.

Someone who graduated from Yale Law School should be well aware that we have checks and balances in this country. Stop starving Americans and release the SNAP funds.

Why doesn’t Trump focus on affordability NOW by telling Republicans in Congress to prevent skyrocketing premiums by extending ACA tax credits and repealing Medicaid cuts? This can’t wait until next year.

Nancy Pelosi will be remembered as the most effective Speaker in history. I’ve been proud to be her colleague and friend for many years, and the work she’s done to uplift the most vulnerable makes both California and our country grateful to have such a dedicated public servant.

This is now the longest shutdown in American history. Speaker Johnson needs to call his members back to DC to get the government reopened and lower healthcare costs ASAP.

The Republican agenda: starving hungry Americans while giving $40 billion to Argentina.

Trump keeps saying grocery prices are “way down”. Anyone who’s been in a grocery store knows that’s a lie. Trump’s more worried about his billionaire friends than the Americans being crushed by his tariffs.

It shouldn’t take court rulings for the Trump administration to understand that starving Americans for political purposes is wrong. It’s time for Republicans to get back to Washington and work with Democrats.

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.

Donald Trump is trying to rip off the taxpayers by compensating himself $230 million for his criminal cases. It’s unconstitutional, and my @democrats-judiciary.house.gov colleagues and I are demanding documents from the DOJ on Trump’s shakedown.

#CA18 student coders and innovators: today is the last day to submit your apps for the Congressional App Challenge! I am looking forward to seeing what you have created!

I represent a heavily agricultural district, and let me tell you now that Trump’s attacks on farmworkers are a slow-moving catastrophe that will cause food shortages and drive up every American’s grocery costs even more.

Day 29 of this shutdown: Health premiums are soaring. People are missing paychecks. And no House Republicans to be found in DC.

Trump’s $230 million shakedown of taxpayers violates the Emoluments Clause in the Constitution, which explicitly prohibits him from receiving payment beyond his salary. My @democrats-judiciary.house.gov colleagues and I are seeking documents from the DOJ on this flagrant corruption scheme.

The Trump administration thinks propaganda will cover up the economic and health crises they’ve created. The people losing their jobs, their businesses, and their insurance aren’t buying it.

Lofgren: Now, instead of the president weighing in, we’ve got him doing weird little dances as he lands in Asia, and he’s missing in action. The Senate is refusing to negotiate across party lines, and the House of Representatives isn’t even meeting. I mean, I’ve never seen anything like this.

Far too many families along California’s Central Coast struggle with the cost of housing. I met with Housing Resource Center Monterey to discuss housing affordability and how the federal government can best help to reduce rent burdens.

Republicans were very fast to pass tax cuts for billionaires this summer. Where’s Republicans’ urgency to address this healthcare crisis?

BREAKING: CRAIG, DELAURO STATEMENT ON WHITE HOUSE UNLAWFULLY STEALING FOOD BENEFITS FROM AMERICANS

The latest inflation report shows prices increasing by 3%, and that doesn’t even cover people’s health insurance premiums that are about to DOUBLE. Trump’s own press secretary says his “main priority” is his ballroom:

Trump’s Ag Secretary is suggesting SNAP benefits will not be issued in November because of the shutdown, but Congress has set aside years of reserve funds for SNAP for this very scenario. Stop playing politics with hunger and open the government.

If ICE and CBP agents attempt to violate the constitutional rights of Bay Area residents like they did in Chicago, those agents should face legal consequences. Terrorizing communities and stripping people of due process doesn’t make us safer.

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

Trump is trying to shake down $230 million from taxpayers so the DOJ can compensate him for his criminal cases, all while people’s healthcare costs are soaring. No President in American history comes close to his level of corruption.

The government is shut down. People’s health premiums are soaring. And Trump is busy taking a wrecking ball to The People’s House to build his gaudy $250 million ballroom. It says everything we need to know about his priorities.

I’m going to continue to show up to protect us, to protect the people of the 10th Congressional District, of New Jersey, and of this country. Because we need protection, and we have to continue to hold this administration accountable.

I’ll be joining Chris Jansing on @msnbcreports.msnbc.com around 9:15am PT to talk about the Republican government shutdown, new offenses by pardoned J6 rioters, and Trump’s unconstitutional demands that taxpayers compensate him $230 million for past DOJ investigations into him.

The government’s been shut down for 3 weeks now, and House Republicans haven’t even be at work in a full month. Speaker Johnson, for the sake of Americans’ healthcare, quit delaying and call your members back to DC.

Yesterday, I held a press conference in San Jose with @usrepjimmypanetta.bsky.social, @liccardo.house.gov, healthcare professionals, and constituents to draw attention to Republicans’ healthcare crisis. They need to stop delaying and finally pass a budget that lowers Americans’ health costs.

Great to be at the ribbon cutting today for Parkmoor Community Apartments and the HUB Center! I’m thankful that this project will create 81 new affordable housing units and provide a space for current and former foster youth in San Jose.

CALIFORNIANS: Today is the last day for online voter registration! Make sure your voice is heard on November 4th. You can register or update your registration at RegisterToVote.ca.gov.

I’ll be joining Alex Witt on @msnbcreports.msnbc.com at 10:05am PT this morning to discuss the Republican shutdown entering its 17th day and the indictment of John Bolton.

Republicans’ refusal to act on lowering healthcare costs is crushing Californians. Take a look at how a 60-year-old couple in San Jose making $85,000 could be impacted:

They don't call Salinas Valley "America's Salad Bowl" for nothing - over $5 billion worth of our country's fruits and vegetables are grown here. On #WorldFoodDay, we all thank the farmers and producers in #CA18 for their hard work making sure we have food on our tables.

Trump is retaliating against Democrats by driving up EVERYONE’S energy costs. Congress needs to stand up for Americans crushed by his economy. I am supporting @RepBarragan’s bill to reinstate all awards terminated by Trump’s Energy Department. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Speaker Johnson refuses to hang this plaque in the Capitol to honor the Capitol Police who saved our democracy on January 6th. Why hasn’t he done so when it’s required by law?

We’re 15 days into a government shutdown, and what is Trump doing? Hosting billionaires to fundraise for his ballroom. People’s healthcare costs are soaring and this is his priority.

Can Congress fight tariffs and rising costs? (Spoiler alert: the answer is YES)

So many people are already getting notified that their healthcare costs are skyrocketing as Republicans continue their shutdown. Help me show them this is an urgent issue by sharing your story with me: lofgren.house.gov/healthcarecosts

Today, on Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we recognize the rich cultures and histories of the Indigenous communities in California and across the country.

Trump doesn’t have the power to arbitrarily fire thousands of public servants. He is not a king, and he is going to lose in court.

If anyone else didn’t show up to their job for a month when they know there’s urgent business to deal with, they’d lose that job. House Republicans seem to think their vacations are more important than paying our troops and saving our healthcare.

Three million military families could miss a paycheck if Congress doesn’t act before October 15th. Speaker Johnson won’t even say if he’s calling the House back next week. He needs to do his job and get his Republican members back to DC.

Some airports are without air traffic controllers and people are getting notices that their healthcare premiums have doubled. Trump and Republicans control the government and have the power to end this madness today. #TrumpShutUSDown

I’m joining all my fellow @democrats-judiciary.house.gov in demanding that the Trump-Vance transition team provide information regarding border czar Tom Homan accepting a $50,000 bribe. Who knew about this bribe, when did they know it, and why was Homan appointed anyway?

Quite the flip-flop: Mike Johnson himself voted for the bill in 2019 that guarantees furloughed employees will receive backpay following a government shutdown. Signed into law by Donald Trump.

No, it’s a NOW issue, Mr. Speaker. People are already getting notices that their premiums are doubling. You can’t kick the can down the road to December.

Women in the U.S. have a 1 in 8 chance of getting breast cancer in their lifetime. Early detection is key to treating breast cancer successfully, so please schedule your annual mammogram now. #MammographyMonday

Imagine being a kid in Chicago and having a Black Hawk helicopter land on your roof, then being zip tied and dragged from your home in the middle of the night. Time for the DA and state AG to convene grand juries about this dangerous and illegal misconduct by federal agents.
