Democrats want a government funding bill that won't raise your health care costs by 75%.
Trump won't even meet with them.
He’s shutting the government down and making health care even more expensive for families.
What a bad deal for America.

If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone.

Six hours ago, Sen. Chris Van Hollen boarded a flight to El Salvador, putting his safety on the line to demand justice for Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
This is what leadership looks like. He’s meeting with officials, hoping to see Kilmar, & sending a message loud & clear: we won’t stop until he’s home.
