The government is shut down because Trump and the Republicans are hellbent on taking health care away from you.

And they won’t even come to the table to talk to us about it.

This is not about politics. It's about people.

Welcome to week 2 of the GOP shutdown.

Democrats are still holding the line to keep your health care affordable, while Republicans are fighting to raise your premiums by more than 75%.

Donald Trump and the Senate GOP — it’s time to end the shutdown and do your jobs.

It’s simple.

The American people don’t want their premiums skyrocketing over 300%. A family’s average premium could jump from $533 to $1,599 a month

Senate Democrats won’t let Republicans do it—we’re holding the line for Americans.

Millions of dollars in dark money is flooding into North Carolina to prop up Michael Whatley.

Because the far-right groups writing the checks know exactly what he’ll do: ban abortions nationwide and limit reproductive freedoms.

WATCH: 'Concerned Collins' votes to shut down the government.

She’s sacrificing your health care because she’s too weak to stand up to Donald Trump and fight for Maine.

🚨BREAKING🚨

Senate Republicans just voted to shut down the government and make millions of Americans pay more for health care.

Senate Majority PAC @majoritypac.bsky.social · 8d

Senate Republicans don’t want a deal on government funding.

They want to keep pushing their reckless agenda: higher health care costs, cuts to food assistance and Medicaid, hospital closures, attacks on free speech, and military invasions of American cities.

Nope. We’ve had enough.
