I'm here in the Capitol, working and ready to hash out a deal to re-open the government and stop healthcare costs from getting even higher.

But House Republicans are nowhere to be seen—they're not even pretending to want to negotiate with Democrats for the good of the country.

I put out a survey asking folks a basic question: Should Speaker Johnson bring back the U.S. House of Representatives so we can vote to reopen the government?

Over 1,300 people responded, and the results are overwhelming: 93.5% say YES.

The Republican government shutdown is hurting folks in Western PA and across the country.

I'm heading back to Washington today—but my Republican counterparts are still refusing to show up.

House Speaker Johnson needs to call lawmakers back to Washington to negotiate a deal to re-open the government ASAP.

This is no joke. Folks in Allegheny and Beaver Counties who use the ACA marketplace (Pennie) will see health insurance premiums skyrocket unless Congressional Republicans work with Democrats to stop this disaster.

Our country has real problems that people are mad about. Let’s take on the corruption and more that make life so much worse and expensive for hardworking Americans.

Urban Institute predicts that 267,000 fellow veterans will lose health coverage if the ACA healthcare tax credits expire.

Those are the stakes in this fight.

It's Banned Book Week. I'll always stand up for freedom—and that means fighting back against boneheaded efforts to ban books, like at my alma mater the U.S. Naval Academy earlier this year.

Congressman Chris Deluzio @deluzio.house.gov · Apr 29

If we're gonna trust the adult Midshipmen at the U.S. Naval Academy to lead Marines and Sailors in harm's way, we can trust them to read books. It's indefensible to ban books from the library there—my alma mater—especially when you're hiding writings by Maya Angelou, but not Adolf Hitler.

Federal workers like Air Traffic Controllers, TSA agents, and more will get a smaller paycheck because Congressional Republicans refuse to do anything to lower healthcare costs and re-open the government.

Today is World Mental Health Day. 1 in 5 American adults have some kind of mental health challenge. It's okay to need help and people should be able to get the support they need.

Healthcare costs are already too high and it's about to get way worse.

Congressional Republicans should join with Democrats and work to do something about it.

Yesterday I stood in solidarity with @teamsters.bsky.social Local Union 30’s unionized nurses to save the New Kensington Express and Primacy Care from closing. Our region needs more healthcare options, not fewer.

Another reason Republican politicians need to re-open the government: we should get the folks shining light on corruption back to work.

Speaker Johnson needs to get the U.S. House back to work to reopen the government, lower healthcare costs, and release the Epstein Files.

We need to update the Insurrection Act to rein in unchecked Presidential power—I've got a bill to do it. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Speaker Johnson canceled House votes this week and last.

Republicans are afraid to have members in Washington—God forbid we get something done to reopen the government or get the last signature we need on a bill to release the Epstein files.

Trump's threat to deploy our active duty troops to U.S. cities in a "war" against our citizens is un-American and dangerous.

We need to rein in Presidential power, and my bill to reform the Insurrection Act of 1807 does just that.

@ibewinternational.bsky.social International President: "By canceling projects and locking out IBEW members in the private and public sector, the President is sending a message that their paychecks, their families, and their communities do not matter."

When D.C. Republicans funnel tax giveaways to billionaires but turn around to cut healthcare and kill construction jobs, it’s clear who they’re for and who they’re against.

Every chance they get, Republican politicians are waging class warfare on hardworking Americans.

The Laborers' International Union of North America called the White House’s project cancellations “an immediate and dire threat to our economy and the livelihoods of thousands of construction workers.”
