House Republicans left town rather than face accountability- for ending the shutdown or releasing the Epstein files

Federal workers keep our country running. Trump signed the law guaranteeing them backpay during shutdowns — now he’s threatening to break it. That’s not negotiating, it’s yet another act of cruelty against federal workers.

Across my district, thousands are bracing for skyrocketing premiums because of the Republican health care crisis. During my visit to a DaVita Dialysis center, I heard firsthand how these cuts would hit patients who rely on affordable, lifesaving care. We can’t afford to go backward.

🧵1/4 Today marks one week since Republicans shut down the government. Democrats remain ready to deliver for veterans and all Americans, while House Republicans refuse to return to DC.

Remembering the victims of the October 7 terroist attacks. Innocent lives lost, families torn apart. Hostages still held.

War rages on.

Let us hope for swift resolution and lasting peace.

House Republicans need to return to Washington to negotiate a way out of this Republican-caused health care crisis and reopen the federal government. Case closed.

As the @planetarysociety.bsky.social marks its Day of Action, I’m proud to stand with Bill Nye, scientists, engineers, & space advocates fighting to protect critical investments in research and exploration.
The proposed cuts to science funding threaten our nation’s leadership in innovation.

Vice-Chair @ivey.house.gov said it best: "We're in this fight to win it and we're going to keep fighting hard."

Federal workers and the American people deserve better. We’re calling on Republicans to return to the bargaining table and to stop treating workers as political pawns.

Republicans chose this shutdown—and it’s hurting families, workers, and small businesses. Their stranglehold on healthcare means higher costs and lost coverage for millions. Democrats are fighting to protect care and put people first.

Republicans continue to play politics with the health care of thousands of people in the state of Maryland. If they don’t act now, tax credits will expire and those with chronic illness will pay the price. I stand united with Democrats to fight to protect your care.

Russ Vought has ZERO respect for the Federal Workers that power our government. He isn't going to bully his way out of this Republican led government shutdown‼️

First he fired them. Now he’s calling them back. 😤

Hundreds laid off by Trump’s DOGE cuts are being called back to work after months of uncertainty resulting in delayed services for taxpayers.

No more stunts. No more chaos. Federal workers deserve respect.

Honored to speak with the Maryland Regional Minority Suppliers Development Council. Minority-owned businesses drive jobs and innovation, yet Trump’s agenda threatens to roll back hard-won progress. We must keep breaking barriers and expanding opportunities for MBEs—now more than ever.

The Beltsville Agricultural Research Center (BARC) has powered agricultural innovation for over a century. Closing it guts food security research, climate resilience breakthroughs, & public health protections nationwide—while putting more than 600 scientists out of work & wasting taxpayer dollars.
