The only time Republicans are "concerned" about health care is when they're trying to take it away.

Actions speak louder than words — they don't care that your health insurance is going to get more expensive.

Speaker Johnson refuses to swear in Adelita Grijalva, who won her special election WEEKS ago. Why? Because her signature means we could force a vote on releasing the Epstein files.

We're calling on him to stop dragging his feet and swear her in.

I'm hearing from Louisvillians who are already understaffed and overworked — now they're worried they won't have a paycheck to support their families.

Republicans caused this shutdown, and they need to come back to Washington and fix it.

As air traffic controllers, our troops, and millions of other federal employees go without pay during this government shutdown, I won't be accepting my paycheck.

Republicans need come back to DC and open the government up.

Republicans control the entire government — they could stop this shutdown, but they're not even here in DC to do it.

I’m heartbroken for the victims of the horrific attack in Michigan today, and I’m holding the entire Grand Blanc community in my prayers.

No one should fear violence in their place of worship. We can and must do more to address this kind of violence in our communities.
