Considering all of Ciscomani's votes this is some disingenuous BS

SIERRA VISTA — Rep. Juan Ciscomani (R-AZ) and nine other House Republicans called on federal health officials to ensure Democratic governors fairly distribute rural hospital funding to underserved communities.

Ya know as a person who used to be impacted by shutdowns I'd call my congressperson's office and explain why it would hurt my community, usually to crickets. Now this boot licking excuse for a representative wants to weigh in and blame Senate Dems.
Rs know they own this

Post from the Congressman Juan Ciscomani, who recently voted for the Big Bill slashing resources for everyday Americans and who will not meet with regular voters.
"If our troops, border agents, and air traffic controllers aren’t paid in a shutdown, Congress shouldn’t get paid either. I’ll withhold my pay. Period.

But it should never come to this – Washington, specifically Senate Democrats, must do its job and keep the government open."

President Trump and Congressional Republicans just shut down the government because they refused to stop your health care costs from rising.

Let me be clear: Republicans are in charge of the White House, House, and Senate. This is their shutdown.

Trump said he told Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that the U.S. "should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military," a reference to the Democratic-run cities that he has long said have high crime rates that make them uninhabitable.

Hegseth says he'll weaken the IG oversight process:

"We are overhauling an inspector general process, the IG, that has been weaponized, putting complainers, ideologues, and poor performers in the driver's seat … No more frivolous complaints, no more anonymous complaints, no more repeat complaints."

The rules have changed. Mike Johnson wants to wait until the official results come in October 14th to swear in Grijalva.

Acyn @acyn.bsky.social · 12d

Grijalva: I was looking at the example of now-Representative Walkinshaw from Virginia, who was elected two weeks ago Tuesday. The following Wednesday—less than 24 hours later—he was sworn in, with unofficial results.

So for me, apparently the rules have now changed in just two weeks.

With the funding deadline days away, Americans will pay the price.
