Mob Boss Politics 101: Deploying the National Guard to yet another an American city and then threatening to jail your political opponents.

This isn’t keeping us safe. We have to reject Trump’s mob boss tactics of threats and intimidation.

It’s Day 8 of the government shutdown and Republicans in the House are still MIA.

Every day that goes by is a day that we could be working together to solve the affordability and healthcare crisis in this country.

It’s time Speaker Johnson get serious about doing his job.

Republicans control the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives.
 
This is their shutdown and they have the power to come back to the table, work to lower healthcare costs, and deliver for their constituents.

The entire nation is talking about skyrocketing healthcare costs – and for good reason.
 
In this shutdown, we're holding the line against the Trump Administration's lawlessness to fight for a country we can all afford.

Trump isn't just holding your taxpayer dollars hostage in this government shutdown, he's holding federal workers' paychecks hostage, too. Threatening to not compensate them after this shutdown is completely ridiculous.
 
We must guarantee back pay for federal workers.

Read his own words. Donald Trump is a mob boss who directed one of his henchmen, AG Pam Bondi, to go after his political opponents. It's corruption. Plain as day.

Conversations about the government shutdown are happening all over the country, in workplaces, around kitchen tables, and at New Jersey diners.

That's why I left the Capitol to drive home to NJ: to talk with the people at the core of this fight for a safer and healthier America.

Absolutely ridiculous.

We must guarantee back pay after this shutdown that Trump and Republicans led us into.

Our federal workers rely on their paychecks to pay rent, support their families, and feed their kids, just like the rest of us. They deserve better.

SCOOP: Furloughed federal workers aren't guaranteed compensation for their forced time off during the government shutdown, according to a draft White House memo described to Axios by three sources.
Scoop: White House memo says furloughed federal workers aren't entitled to backpay
A move to deny backpay to up to 750,000 furloughed workers would dramatically escalate Trump's pressure on Democrats to end the shutdown.

Shame on Speaker Johnson for giving House Republicans a paid vacation while our military troops and public servants go without pay.
 
This government shutdown won’t end unless Speaker Johnson is willing to come back to work.

Our country has been hijacked by mob bosses who use corruption, extortion, and intimidation to instill fear and submission into all of us.
 
When we reopen the government, we must fight to make sure it’s working for you, not the mob bosses in power.

My statement on Secretary Duffy’s stunt press conference earlier today at Newark International Airport.

It’s time Republicans showed up, sat down, and did their jobs.

Donald Trump and Republicans’ mob boss politics are standing in the way of Americans being able to get the healthcare that they need.
 
I care about delivering for my constituents, and that’s what this fight is about.

Trump is using the government shutdown as an excuse to carry out his crusade against federal workers.

This is an attack on our public servants, our government, and everyone who is supported by its services.

I’m saddened that conversations around quality healthcare become conversations about affordability. Not just for me and my family, but for millions of Americans who are struggling right now.
 
This is why, amidst a government shutdown, we must fight to lower costs and protect healthcare.
