Senator Patty Murray @murray.senate.gov · 7d

Democrats are here in the Capitol ready to reopen government AND stop health care premiums from more than doubling.

This is a REPUBLICAN SHUTDOWN.

Trump, Johnson, and Thune need to get serious about negotiating with Democrats if they want our votes.

FDA quietly approved a generic abortion pill ahead of shutdown

The approval of a generic for the medication mifepristone comes less than two weeks after Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. pledged that the agency would review the drug’s safety.

Day 2 of Trump’s government shutdown. Time to push back against the GOP redistricting power grab and vote YES on Prop 50. Because it’s time for CA to hold the line.

Also #NoKings on Oct. 18.

Republicans can’t win on their policies, so they are trying to dodge accountability by rewriting the rules. These lawmakers are going out of their way to silence the will of the people and deliberately undermine our democracy.

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake.

These people have found their health care at the center of a shutdown showdown

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

Lawrence: One of the examples you've put out is in Speaker Mike Johnson's Louisiana district, a 60 year old couple earning 82,000 a year. Their health care premiums will rise by almost $20,000 by 300% because of what their congressman is doing.

For Democrats, the shutdown fight marks a line in the sand born from months of frustration with their inability to stop Trump’s norm-busting leadership. And they will continue to fight, regardless of the practical or political consequences, they say. https://to.pbs.org/46OYckW

Republicans shut down the government to gut healthcare and bankroll Trump’s illegal power grab. We must hold the GOP accountable for causing chaos just to appease a wannabe king. app.sosha.ai/s/cZ6cssW6 Thank you @padilla.senate.gov and @schiff.senate.gov for holding line.

Good morning.

The government is shut down because Trump wants to act like a king and steal from you.

Democrats have no obligation to support a budget that funds the destruction of our democracy - and DOUBLES health premiums to fund a tax cut for billionaires.

Donald Trump SHUT DOWN the government last night.

Why? Because he and Republicans in Congress would rather shut down the whole government than lower your health care costs.

It’s shameful.

Here are three more factual statements:

1. 25,000 of Mike Johnson's constituents are about to lose health care

2. 27,000 more are about to have their premiums skyrocket.

3. A 60 year old couple in his district would pay $19,000 more a year.

STEPHANOPOULOS: The Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher healthcare premiums. Why are you against that?

MIKE JOHNSON: That's an absurd statement

(above an image of Capitol Hill) We're in a government shutdown because Republicans demand a budget that kicks millions off their healthcare and jacks up prices for the rest of us.

And the GOP is willing to hold government funding hostage until Trump gets his way.
