We need an immediate ceasefire. The release of all hostages. A surge in humanitarian aid to Gaza. And a secure future for both the Israeli and Palestinian people.

Today marks two years since the horrific October 7 attack by Hamas.

As we remember the lives lost and the terror inflicted on that day, we also renew our commitment to peace and security in the region.

It’s been one week since Republicans shut down the government.

And they won’t even show up to work.

Democrats are in D.C., ready to negotiate on a budget that protects your health care and lowers your costs.

60% of everyday families cannot afford basic necessities.

Now, the GOP is tripling their health care costs.

Democrats are fighting like hell to stop them. The American people deserve better.

The only thing the GOP will not cancel is their billionaire tax cuts.

They will always choose their rich friends over everyday families.

You deserve better.

Let’s be clear about why Republicans shut down the government:

To take away your health care in order to pay for billionaire tax cuts.

Katherine Clark @whipkclark.bsky.social · 4d

The GOP would rather prolong the shutdown than protect health care and lower costs.

They are literally refusing to show up for work.

Democrats will be in Washington, and we’ll continue fighting for the American people.

ICE agents forced everyone out of a Chicago apartment building in the dead of night.

Breaking down apartment doors in the dead of night.

Pulling kids out of their beds and away from their mothers to force them into zip ties.

Rounding up U.S. citizens and hauling them off into detainment.

How the hell does weaponizing ICE against American families make them safer?

Don’t believe the GOP’s lies.

Democrats are fighting to save health care and lower costs for the American people.

Full stop.

Republicans have shut down the government.

Why? They’re hell-bent on taking health care away from millions of people.

Democrats are here and ready to find solutions. We just need the GOP to join us.

Republicans just brought the House into session for a total of 2 minutes.

Democrats tried to bring up legislation to keep government open, keep children on their insurance, and keep health care costs from doubling.

Then they adjourned. The GOP will own this shutdown.

The government may shut down in 12 hours.

Democrats are in DC, fighting to protect your health care and lower your costs.

Republicans are on vacation.

Katherine Clark @whipkclark.bsky.social · 7d

You’d think House Republicans could at least show up for work.

Well, Democrats are here.

We're here to fight for your health care.

26 120 330

Katherine Clark @whipkclark.bsky.social · 7d

Democrats’ message is clear:

Cancel the cuts. Lower costs. Save health care.

That’s what we’re fighting for.

Government funding runs out tomorrow.

Democrats are in DC, ready to vote for a budget that protects health care and lowers costs.

It's up to the GOP: will they join us in working for the American people?

The threats against @jayapal.house.gov by an elected state official are dangerous and vile.

I condemn this violent rhetoric that has no place in our country.

I hope Republican leaders will do the same.

Absolutely heartbroken by another senseless shooting. My prayers are with the victims and their families and the Grand Blanc community.

No one should have to fear for their life at a place of worship or anywhere else.

Gun violence is preventable, now is the time to take action.

Hospitals are closing down.

Costs are soaring.

Millions of families are losing their health insurance.

And Trump is using the presidency to make billions of dollars.

You deserve better. Democrats are fighting back.

Physicians like Dr. Cerjanic know firsthand the devastating impacts of the GOP’s health care crisis.

Lives are on the line. Quality of life is on the line.

That’s why Democrats are fighting back with every piece of leverage we have.

We will not settle for anything less.
