Millions of Americans — including 189,000 Central Floridians — are facing higher health care premiums because Republicans shut down the government and left town.

Last week, Republicans in Congress shut down the government…then skipped town to go on vacation.

Trump wants to wipe out the federal workforce and insert his loyalists to carry out his corrupt scheme to sell out working families to enrich billionaires. I’ll keep fighting against it and to protect working people.

Less than 3 hours until a government shutdown.

Democrats are standing ten toes down to protect working people and their health care.

Republicans? They’re refusing to negotiate, putting 20 million Americans’ health and wallets on the line.

The federal government shuts down tonight.

While House Dems are fighting to keep it open and lower health care costs, House Republicans are on vacation.

They would rather shut down the government than address the health care crisis they've inflicted on the American people.

Government funding runs out tomorrow & Republicans are pushing a partisan bill that will cause healthcare costs to skyrocket.

If ACA tax credits aren’t protected, 20 million people will see their premiums soar — including 189,000 Central Floridians.

I won’t back any bill that drives up your costs.

Hundreds people have vanished from ICE’s system at the Everglades internment camp. Families don’t know where their loved ones are. This isn’t deportation — it’s kidnapping.

That’s why I introduced the SUDEM Act to hold ICE accountable and make this info public.

House Republicans jammed through a reckless bill that slashes Medicaid, raises costs, & forces hospitals to close — all while leaving town with a shutdown looming. If the government shuts down, Republicans own it.

Families deserve better than this & I will fight like hell to protect their care.

The Trump Administration is trying to silence dissent and attack our most fundamental freedom: the right to speak out without fear.

I stood with my colleagues in the House and Senate to protect Americans from any administration that fears the truth and democracy.
