Let’s be clear—this didn’t happen by accident.
Republicans are holding the government hostage to protect billionaires and corporations while working families pay more for healthcare, rent, and groceries.
That’s the real cost of their shutdown shenanigans.

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.

Great day knocking doors in Bucks County to get out the vote for Democrats up and down the ballot. Like our 3 Supreme Court Justices— and my brother Joe Khan for DA.
Vote YES on judicial retention on or before November 4th!!

In PA we’re doing the work to ensure our kids are going to safe schools.
My bill with Rep Fiedler, Powell and Probst will assess our public schools and help them get up to code so that all kids are healthy & safe at school.

“We shouldn’t have to rely on a gambling company to fund our transit,” Khan said. “That should be the job of our legislature, and we’ve done the hard work in the House.“

That means local workers are being cut out of good-paying, safe jobs — while Giant profits off our community.

Washington’s big bill delivers cuts to taxes for multimillionaires by taking away healthcare from 300,000 Pennsylvania’s and SNAP from 140,000 residents. The law also explodes the national debt to pay for these massive tax cuts for billionaires by $3.3 trillion.

If $1 bills were stacked from the ground on earth, $3.3 Trillion would nearly get you to the moon. Our tax dollars & benefits going to the ultra-rich. A cosmically bad deal for PA.

Spent the day with Rep Green on the front lines of the DC 33 strike. The position of the Philadelphia House Democratic Delegation is clear— we support the workers on strike, they deserve a fair deal, & this deal needs to get done as soon as possible.

Far from keeping us safe, this bombing bypasses Congress and pulls the US close to another war with no endgame as Netanyahu attempts to hold onto power at all costs. No one voted for this.

Another horrible terror attack on innocent lives, this time on a group of older Jewish adults advocating for Hamas to release hostages.
This antisemitic attack does nothing to advance the needed cause of peace in the Middle East and self-determination for Palestinians.

Acts of terror, like this antisemitic attack at the Young Diplomats Reception, adds even more trauma to this ongoing conflict and does nothing to advance the needed causes of peace for all in the region and self-determination for the Palestinian people.
