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.

It is insane to not pay our troops.

Democrats are here. Republicans need to come back from their vacation, work with us, and we need to pay our troops.

Hmmm... weird.

Graphic that shows Republicans absent when needing to vote on the Epstein files or prevent a shutdown, but celebrating when cutting taxes for billionaires.

Donald Trump posted this video. Trump and Republicans are literally TAKING PLEASURE at their deep cuts to Medicaid, Medicare and the ACA.

Trump and Republicans are GLEEFULLY CELEBRATING their assault on healthcare.

Think of this video when your health care costs increase.

Relieved there were no reports of injuries from the large fire at the Chevron refinery in El Segundo. I expect to see full and robust investigations by state and federal authorities to determine what happened, and to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

Fire at Los Angeles-area Chevron oil refinery is contained

There were no injuries in the incident at the refinery in El Segundo, a coastal city in Los Angeles County, the oil company said.

Day 2 of the Republican shutdown. Your regular reminders:

1. GOP controls government. They control what bills get voted on and the vote thresholds for each bill. Senate GOP can pass their bad funding bill today if they felt like it.

2. Dems are fighting to lower costs and save healthcare.

The American people are smart. They know Trump and Republicans control government and Democrats do not.

LAST MONTH SENATE REPUBLICANS CHANGED THEIR DUMB RULES TO ALLOW A MAJORITY VOTE. Then can do so again.

GOP Senate can pass their bad funding bill today if they felt like it.

Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth were expecting rousing applause and standing ovations from our nation’s generals.

They were met with silence. Generals know that what Trump is doing is wrong.

Republicans control every branch of government. They could stop the shutdown today. Senate GOP can change their stupid rules to go to a majority vote, just like they did to push through Trump’s nominees. The fact that they haven’t done this shows Republicans want the shutdown.

Rep. Ted Lieu @reptedlieu.bsky.social · 8d

House Republicans need to come back, work with Democrats, and stop this Republican shutdown.

Pleased to join @salinas.house.gov last week for a tour of the programs at Easterseals Oregon and a roundtable discussion with veterans who have benefited from its services.

We will continue to fight for all those who have served this country.

Congresswoman Andrea Salinas @salinas.house.gov · 13d

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to tour Easterseals in #Salem with @reptedlieu.bsky.social. We learned more about the essential services they provide to veterans and their families, such as affordable housing and employment opportunities. (1/2)
