We can’t trust that Congressional Republicans will abide by a deal done by a handshake. The truth is, they created this health care crisis when they raided Americans’ health care to help pay for tax breaks for billionaires. Now they refuse to fix it. We can’t kick the can down the road any longer.

The overwhelming majority of Americans want Democrats & Republicans to come together to fix this health care crisis & reopen the government. But Republicans need to come to the table—to support furloughed workers, extend ACA tax credits, & stop the skyrocketing premiums crushing working families.

House Speaker Mike Johnson has formally canceled session in the House again, leaving Congress in recess. Military service members will miss their October 15 paycheck because of this. If troops go without pay, this will be a shameful first in our nation's history.

2/ In Delaware, that means over 20,000 of our neighbors will lose critical support that helps families make ends meet and keep food on the table.Cruelty knows no bounds in this administration.

1/ Funding for WIC is running out because of the government shutdown. American women and children will lose food assistance as a direct result of Republicans’ partisan policies.

We are in the second week of the Republican shutdown.

Where are House Republicans? On vacation.

Went looking around the Capitol to see if any Republicans had the common sense to come back. Featuring @mcbride.house.gov.

2/ These cuts threaten Delaware jobs, raise energy costs for working families, and set us back in the fight for affordable, reliable power.

Delaware clean energy projects in jeopardy from Trump cuts of projects in blue states

This announcement comes days after the federal government shut down on Oct. 1.

1/ Amid a government shutdown, Donald Trump is seeking political revenge by canceling investments in projects that would lower energy costs in Delaware and across the country.

2/ Still, Trump’s crooks and cronies are encouraging him to defy a federal ruling that blocked this abuse of power. If Donald Trump cared about law and order, he’d stop acting like the law doesn’t apply to him.

1/ Donald Trump is attempting to deploy the National Guard to Portland and Chicago—using members of our military as political pawns—under the false pretense that these cities are war zones.

This. Is. A. Lie.

Hear directly from my constituent Jan—a small business owner and cancer survivor—on what this shutdown means for Delawareans’ health care: "Lives are on the line."

Republicans must work with us to reopen the government and fix the health care crisis they created that's impacting people NOW.

Lives are on the line.

Republicans’ refusal to extend Affordable Care Act tax credits means Delawareans could soon face massive premium hikes. My Democratic colleagues and I will continue to stand together to protect health care, lower costs, and reopen the government.

An update now that Republicans have shut the government down: there’s absolutely no reason they can’t do their jobs and come to the table to negotiate a deal. Democrats are ready—and we’ll keep holding the line for people’s health care and to get the government reopened.

The government is now shut down because of Republicans' inability to govern.

Donald Trump is in over his head. He doesn't understand what's at stake. He doesn't understand the ACA. He doesn't understand Medicaid. While Republicans vacation with a shutdown looming, House Democrats are here to hold the line for the American people.

2/ Why? Because Donald Trump and his party refuse to negotiate a deal to fix the health care cuts they created—cuts that will leave millions of Americans without health care. Don’t let them spin it otherwise.

1/ I just left the floor of the House, where Republicans gaveled us out of a pro forma session—shutting the House down for the day. At midnight, the government shuts down.

Government is about to shut down because Republicans are committed to cutting health care. Democrats are in D.C. ready to protect health care and keep the government open, but Republicans are no where to found.
