"Republicans are on an unprecedented five week recess from Congress because they don't want to talk about why they're cutting health care to pay for a billionaire tax cut, and they don't want to talk about the President's lawlessness and corruption."

Speaker Johnson says Republicans are “working around the clock” to fund the government.  They’ve only worked 14 days since July, only passed 3 out of 12 appropriations bills through the House, and they just shut down the government while they control both chambers of Congress…


A busy weekend morning at the library, with story hour, a children's playgroup, crafts workshops, and study groups! There was also a banned book reading of Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury's cautionary tale about censorship and book burning as a response to the Red Scare.

Trump fires CDFI staff - who provide training and resources to promote economic growth and opportunity in low-income and distressed communities - the same week that he sent BILLIONS to bail out hedge funds invested in Argentina.

Treasury RIF news: Staff at the CDFI Fund were told this afternoon that *all* employees will be RIFed, according to sources familiar. The CDFI Fund is a bipartisan darling for community development with supporters like Sens Crapo (R-Ida.) and Warner (D-Va.).

TO ALL FEDERAL WORKERS: if you were illegally fired today and have information of wrongdoing or abuse of power by the Trump Administration, our whistleblower tip line is open. We want to hear from you. All whistleblowers are federally protected. oversightdemocrats.house.gov/contact/tip-li…


No Administration has ever fired furloughed federal workers during a government shutdown. The Trump Administration is using the government shutdown as an opportunity to GUT essential programs for the American people.


422,000 Pennsylvanians will see their health insurance premiums SKYROCKET, because Republicans in Congress refuse to negotiate.

If Congress doesn’t act, nearly 22 million Americans will see their health insurance premiums more than DOUBLE on average. Senate Republicans are standing in the way, even though thousands of their constituents will see costs go way up. In Alabama, 447,000 Americans. In Alaska,…



CONTEXT: Republicans control the federal government.

Johnson: If you look at polling, people’s faith in the federal government is at an all-time low. Why? Because they don’t see that it’s being done well.



.@RepDwightEvans is right. How cynical and insincere for the Speaker to preach about the $50 billion band-aid for rural hospitals in the OBBB, when it was only included to buy a few GOP votes to cut almost a TRILLION in Medicaid dollars for Americans!

"Who cares more about health care here?" A reminder that Speaker Johnson and congressional Republicans slashed nearly a TRILLION in critical funding from Medicaid- then slapped a $50 billion band aid on the massive wound they inflicted on our health care system.



Are you sure it's not the discharge petition to release the Epstein Files getting enough votes to go to the floor? Congress could SAVE Healthcare for MILLIONS of Americans across the country, if the Speaker brings the House BACK into session and extends the ACA Tax Credits.

Reporter: If you could speak to your strategy of keeping the house out?  Speaker Johnson: They are helping rural hospitals to access the funds we got signed into law July 4, 50 billion dollar rural hospital fund so they can provide for health care for their constituents.

I got an idea: let’s put work requirements on Members of Congress. Maybe that’ll make Republicans come back to Washington and reopen the government?

Letitia James successfully took Trump to court, now it’s clear he’s using the DOJ for revenge. He knows that the best way to avoid being held accountable for breaking the law is to threaten and jail the people who try. This is vengeance, not justice.

BREAKING: New York Attorney General Letitia James has been indicted on at least one count of alleged fraud following pressure from President Trump. Read more: abcnews.link/SyhrfjB

Constituents across PA-05 have been telling me they’ve received notices of their health insurance premiums going WAY UP. If this has happened to you, help me fight for your healthcare by sharing your story here: scanlon.house.gov/forms/form/?ID…


The largest healthcare system in my district recently went bankrupt, leaving thousands of my Delco constituents scrambling for care. Republicans in Congress are pushing for policies that would worsen this crisis so that they can give tax cuts to their billionaire buddies.


The only thing Republicans in DC are interested in saving is tax cuts for their Billionaire Buddies. And they did that by GUTTING the healthcare system millions of Americans rely on.

Trump: We are the ones saving health care. One of the things we're doing is we are going to be reducing the cost of medicines by 100%, 200, 300, 500%, even more.



Americans shouldn't have to choose between having healthcare and putting food on the table. But if Republicans refuse to extend the ACA tax credits and cancel the Medicaid cuts Millions of American will be forced to make that choice.

This is the REAL cost of Republicans' refusal to get back to work and negotiate with Democrats: missed paychecks, missed bills, and missed opportunities. You deserve better.

🚨HOLY SHIT: Mike Johnson was just stunned on C-SPAN when a REPUBLICAN blamed him for the shutdown. “As a Republican, I'm very disappointed in my party, and I'm very disappointed in you, because you (can) call the House back.” Republicans are so cooked.



Says the guy who refused to negotiate for MONTHS, and then told @HouseGOP to go on VACATION for 4 WEEKS instead of SAVING Healthcare for millions of Americans.

JOHNSON: That is a Dec. 31 policy issue TAPPER: But doesn't open enrollment start Nov. 1? JOHNSON: Some insurance companies will send out notices in November, that's right, and that's why the Democrats are so wrong to close this govt and burn up the time in October



So Americans are paying TRILLIONS of dollars MORE in Tariffs.

Trump says we’re taking in trillions of dollars and saving millions of lives with the tariffs
