I will not support the Republican bill that’s on the Senate floor because it fails to do anything of substance to fix America’s healthcare crisis.

Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis For the millions who will lose coverage For people with cancer who won't get the care they need For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare We will keep fighting

America is in the midst of a Republican-made health care crisis—a crisis so severe, so urgent, and so devastating for American families that I cannot support a continuing resolution that fails to address it. I am voting NO.

If Republicans want to talk about long-term fixes to ACA affordability, Democrats are ready. But in the meantime, doing nothing is derelict. People will go bankrupt, people will lose insurance, and people will get sicker. Republicans cannot continue doing nothing.

The only reason Republicans have dragged this shutdown on for so long is simply because Republicans don’t want to lower healthcare costs. They are happy to let 24 million Americans see their premiums DOUBLE on average.

Today on the Senate floor: Democrats made an offer to Republicans to re-open the government and extend the ACA tax credits for one year. We’re calling their bluff. The ball is in their court.

The path forward is simple and achievable: reopen the government, extend the existing ACA tax credits for one year, and begin bipartisan talks on long-term healthcare affordability. The ball is in Republicans’ court.

DEMS SIMPLE PROPOSAL: A simple one year extension of existing ACA tax credits Re-open the government Establish committee to continue negotiations for long-term lower healthcare costs

Thank you, Speaker Pelosi, for everything.

Nice to see he woke up enough after his Gatsby party to realize that the government is still shutdown because of the Republicans and healthcare is still spiking because of the Republicans.

What Democrats have warned about for months is now here. Open enrollment for health care has begun. And because of Donald Trump and the Republicans, healthcare premiums for millions of Americans across the country are spiking. Let’s break it down:

Maybe I should file a complaint with the FCC against the Trump White House for editing his unhinged 60 Minutes interview. It will use the exact same language Trump lodged against Vice President Harris.

Republicans have done everything in their power to raise your health care costs and kill SNAP for millions of hungry Americans.

Trump is trying to withhold SNAP benefits from hungry families, children, seniors, and our vets. He's weaponizing hunger.

Open enrollment for health care starts today, and Americans are seeing how their premiums will skyrocket. But the government is still shut down because Donald Trump and the Republicans refuse to fix the health care crisis they’ve created.

Look at this chart. Thanks to Republicans, this is how much more families in New York will have to pay each month for their health insurance.

BREAKING THIS MORNING: Open enrollment for health care starts today—and premiums are set to SKYROCKET because of the Republicans. They are refusing to reopen the government and address the health care crisis they created.

BIG COURT WIN: I’m announcing that we just won a big court case as a lead plaintiff to stop the Trump administration from disenfranchising Americans, and especially women and service members, through his voter suppression EO.

Donald Trump actually cares more about his toilet than he does about fixing your healthcare.

NEWS: Democrats just forced a vote to end Donald Trump’s national emergency declaration against Canada and put a stop to this asinine trade war with our neighbors to the north. And the Senate passed it!

Donald Trump is a vindictive and heartless man. Never before in American history has a president cut off SNAP during a shutdown, including Trump in his first term. But now he is manufacturing a hunger crisis to bludgeon the American people so he doesn’t have to fix healthcare.

It has been 39 days since House Republicans have shown up for work.

Instead of fixing healthcare Donald Trump is spending $40 billion to Argentina $300 on his ballroom $170 million for two private jets for Kristi Noem

Trump says there’s no money to pay federal workers, but he’s spending: $20 to $40 billion to bail out Argentina $300 million on his vanity ballroom $172 million on two luxury jets for Kristi Noem Hundreds of millions for outfitting his foreign jet

Instead of doing his job, instead of addressing the healthcare crisis and reopening the government, Donald Trump is skipping town.

America is shut down, and the President is skipping town.

While Americans are struggling to make ends meet, federal workers are going without pay, and millions of families are bracing for soaring health care costs, the President is leaving the country.

We stand with Attorney General Tish James. This has nothing to do with justice. This is abuse of power. This is what tyranny looks like.

“At this moment in time of course, the ballroom is really the president's main priority.” It’s hard to wrap your mind around it because of how callous it is. But that’s what White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt actually said. Out loud. To press. Proudly.

BREAKING: Senate Democrats will force votes in the coming week to reverse Donald Trump’s damaging tariffs on Canada and other countries that have been one of the driving forces behind higher prices.

The American people are suffering. But all Trump cares about is destroying the East Wing for his ballroom.

Ever hear of health care, Trump?

Honestly, you can’t make this shit up.

The Trump White House in one image.

Thank you, @merkley.senate.gov. We all stand with you.

No time to fix the healthcare crisis they created, but plenty of time for a mini pep rally with Donald Trump!

Trump’s shutdown checklist: ✅ $20 billion bailout for Argentina ✅ Kristi Noem gets private jets ❌ Save Americans’ health care

No Kings Day. New York City. We march together for this democracy.

Today as millions of Americans rally across this country for No Kings Day: I proudly marched side-by-side with labor unions and so many more of our fellow citizens in NYC.  We have no dictators in America. And we won’t allow Trump to keep eroding our democracy.

Dictators evolve when good people of all different beliefs and backgrounds stay silent. This No Kings Day says we will not stay silent.

I say to my fellow Americans this No Kings Day: Do not let Donald Trump and Republicans intimidate you into silence. That's what they want to do. They're afraid of the truth.  Speak out, use your voice, and exercise your right to free speech.

Today’s No Kings rallies are an affirmation of what America is all about. We are a democracy. We have no kings, despite the fact that Trump has even said he wants to become one.

Instead of working to reopen the government and fix your healthcare: Donald “Law and Order” Trump spent today letting a convicted fraudster off the hook. That was his priority.

Speaker Johnson: What are you hiding? You’re more interested in covering up what happened at the Epstein Mansion than protecting Americans’ health care.

Look at this chart. These are the massive healthcare costs facing rural families in Elise Stefanik’s district in Upstate NY. If Republicans refuse to address the healthcare crisis they’ve created, it will be millions of American families in their districts who suffer the most.

Sickening. Revolting. Vile. This makes you want to throw up. This is the kind of garbage that the worst kind of people say when they think nobody is watching. And where are Republican leaders from Trump on down condemning these comments swiftly and unequivocally!? I’m waiting to hear it.

Trump’s policies are devastating health care in rural communities. And now, Republicans have shut down the government instead of fixing the health care crisis they’ve created.

Speaker Johnson cares more about protecting Trump from the Epstein files than he does about protecting health care for the American people.
