The government is shut down because Trump and the Republicans are hellbent on taking health care away from you.

And they won’t even come to the table to talk to us about it.

This is not about politics. It's about people.

Trump and Republicans up for reelection in 2026 are much weaker than they look right now. Rick Wilson has a message for Dems: do not budge one bit.

#SwearInRep.Grijalva

Rep. Greg Stanton @repgregstanton.bsky.social · 7d

Another day, another delay from Speaker Johnson.

Southern Arizona deserves a voice in Congress now, not just once it’s politically convenient for the House GOP.

Administer the oath to Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva now.

Rep. Greg Stanton @repgregstanton.bsky.social · 8d

Totally unacceptable that Speaker Johnson won’t swear in Adelita Grijalva immediately.

He refused to swear her in on Tuesday, and now he's refusing to swear her in tomorrow, though she is in Washington and stands ready.

Take heed! If Democrats in Washington remain unified and resolute, it will be crystal clear that it's in fact Trump and the MAGA Republicans who are hellbent on raising your health insurance premiums by multiples. This fight matters.

We asked 1,000 Americans who is to blame for the shutdown. Here’s what they said.

More Americans blame Trump and Republicans than Democrats for shutdown, poll finds.
