Thanks to the incredible students at Vidalia Heritage Academy for joining me for a Capitol tour!

I continue to vote for a budget that keeps the government open AND funds health care.

I encourage my Republican colleagues to join me and put the people over the politics for once.

People are not pawns. The latest CDC layoffs are another example of this Administration going after our health—this time by firing scientists working to prevent chronic & respiratory disease.

I’m working to reopen the gvt, reverse these reckless cuts, & fund health care.

DC Republicans continue to push a budget that is bad for Georgia (1 million+ will see health care premiums soar!)

Why don’t they support a budget that keeps the gvt open AND funds health care? Who are they fighting for? Because they’re not fighting for you!

One in four farmers rely on the ACA Marketplace for their health care.

Sara is one of them. Her premiums are about to rise 3x.

For Sara and for farmers across Georgia, we MUST fund health care.

Here’s the simple truth that Republicans in DC don’t want you to know: The government is shut down because they are choosing to DOUBLE your health care premiums. There’s a bill that would end the shutdown today AND fund health care.

But Washington Republicans keep voting NO.

Washington Republicans continue to vote down a budget bill that keeps the government open AND funds health care. Why?

This retired librarian’s monthly health care premium is going from $441 to over $1,100.

It’s outrageous. It’s immoral.

I’m going to keep fighting for Ken to have health care he can actually afford.

Happy Birthday to civil rights icon and patriot Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr! You’ve lived your entire life pushing our nation to live up to its highest ideals and creating the beloved community Dr. King envisioned.

What a legacy. I’m proud to know you and call you a friend. Enjoy this special day!

Washington GOP tripled Shannon's health care premiums.

Now, she has to close her small business.

We don't have to choose: we can fund health care AND reopen the government.

The Senate Republican budget is immoral. It allows health care cuts that will raise monthly costs for millions of Americans.

I cannot vote for legislation that allows working people to lose their health care.

Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock @warnock.senate.gov · 4d

I never thought I’d say this, but Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is right. We can’t allow premiums for millions of Americans to double overnight.

Washington Republicans should work with us to fund health care and end this shutdown now.

Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock @warnock.senate.gov · 4d

I refuse to act like this is business as usual.

A million Georgians will see health care payments double if DC Republicans get their way.

Georgians sent me here to fight for them and that’s exactly what I intend to do.

Two years ago, Israel was attacked in a horrific act of terrorism and violence by Hamas. As we remember the victims, I remain hopeful we will achieve a permanent ceasefire, lasting peace, and return of the hostages so that Palestinian & Israeli children can live in a world where they are all safe.

Americans don’t need the chaos and confusion this administration has caused from day one. Increasing the cost of health care and shutting down the government is just more chaos for working people.

Who is this administration working for?

Over a million people in Georgia alone are set to pay hundreds more every month for their health care if DC Republicans get their way. It’s not right.

I’m calling on my Republican colleagues to do the right thing. Fund health care and reopen the government now.

The average Georgian who purchases health insurance on Georgia Access will see their premiums DOUBLE next year.

We can fix this by extending tax credits. Yet Republicans would rather shut down the government instead. Why?

Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock @warnock.senate.gov · 7d

Republicans can end this shutdown any time they want by funding health care.

15 49 190

Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock @warnock.senate.gov · 8d

Let’s be clear: I don’t want a government shutdown. But I won’t accept raising the already high costs of health care for millions of Americans, closing hospitals, and making people sicker.

These are the lowest cost insurance options for a 62 year old Georgian making $65k.

2025: $228
2026: $1142

She will lose $704/month in credits because of GOP cuts to health care.

This is a crisis. We cannot wait to fix this.

On what would have been his 101st birthday, I’m remembering Jimmy Carter. He was a great Georgian whose faith came alive in humble, public service and in the quest for human dignity.

I was sent this by a Georgian this morning. 2025 premiums vs 2026 premiums for someone making $65k a year.

Republicans in Washington did this.

This is what I'm fighting to stop. This is what’s at stake in this shutdown fight.

If the government shuts down, it's on Republicans in Washington who are choosing partisan politics over your health care.
