Senator Grassley, we fixed it for you.
Clearly, MAGA = Make Argentina Great Again.

To make matters worse, your party has driven the federal government into a disastrous shutdown that will further undermine America and hurt hard-working American families.

Yet another example of the lawlessness coming out of the Trump Administration.

This time, #HUD is breaking the law by violating the #HatchAct which clearly prohibits the use of taxpayer dollars for political purposes.

Republicans — who control both chambers of Congress and the White House — own the looming government shutdown.

Fortunately the banking regulators & consumer watchdogs that are still *independent* will remain functional.

But for an agency like the Securities and Exchange Commission...

Health care is a kitchen-table issue. Democrats are standing with working families to extend tax credits, protect Medicaid, and stop medical debt from crushing household budgets. Republicans are standing with higher costs.

U.S. House Committee on Financial Services - Democrats @ushousefsc.bsky.social · 12d

Republicans are threatening to shut down the government unless they can take away affordable health care. Every dollar families spend on surprise medical bills is a dollar they can’t put toward housing, childcare, or groceries. That’s why Democrats are pushing to keep the government open.

If Republicans let tax credits expire, premiums will skyrocket & millions will lose coverage. Losing health insurance doesn’t just mean losing care—it means econ. hardship, damaged credit, & financial ruin. Dems are working to prevent that by protecting Medicaid & extending health care tax credits.

Republicans slashed Medicaid in their Big, Ugly Bill—kicking millions off coverage and raising costs for everyone. Now, they want to strip even more Americans of their health care. Instead of more cuts, Democrats are fighting to lower costs, and keep families covered.

Medical debt is the leading cause of bankruptcy in America. While Republicans are willing to shut down the government so they can take health care away from millions of Americans, Democrats are determined to bring down health costs so families can focus on recovery, not financial troubles.

Families are already getting squeezed by rising housing costs and junk fees while megabanks continue to rip off consumers after Trump and Republicans dismantled the CFPB. Now they want to rip away health care, too. Not on our watch.
