Speaker Johnson canceled House votes this week and last.

Republicans are afraid to have members in Washington—God forbid we get something done to reopen the government or get the last signature we need on a bill to release the Epstein files.

Trump's threat to deploy our active duty troops to U.S. cities in a "war" against our citizens is un-American and dangerous.

We need to rein in Presidential power, and my bill to reform the Insurrection Act of 1807 does just that.

@ibewinternational.bsky.social International President: "By canceling projects and locking out IBEW members in the private and public sector, the President is sending a message that their paychecks, their families, and their communities do not matter."

When D.C. Republicans funnel tax giveaways to billionaires but turn around to cut healthcare and kill construction jobs, it’s clear who they’re for and who they’re against.

Every chance they get, Republican politicians are waging class warfare on hardworking Americans.

President Trump’s move to cut billions from energy and infrastructure projects is killing thousands of American construction jobs.

It’s not just me saying it…here’s what lots of those workers have to say 🧵

If our troops and other federal workers aren't getting paid during the shutdown, neither should Members of Congress.

Until we pass a law to fix this, I'll be refusing my pay while the government is shut down.

Healthcare is already breaking the bank for a lot of people. It's about to get way worse. I'm ready to get to work to end the shutdown, end the B.S. politics, and fix this.

Here’s what inaction on ACA tax credits means: A 60-year-old Western PA couple making $80,000/year seeing health insurance premiums go up $12,000 per year. It could be a crushing blow.

That's what's coming, unless the Republicans work with Democrats to fix the healthcare crisis they've created.

I served in uniform in a war zone. Trump's plan to deploy our military to use U.S. cities as "training grounds" is un-American and dangerous.

I'm joining with my fellow Democratic veterans to push back.

Let's be clear. This is why Republicans shut down the government—they refused to work with Democrats to clean up this healthcare mess they made.

I'm ready to get to work to stop this disaster and reopen the government.
