It's day six of the Republican Government Shutdown—and instead of cleaning up the mess they made, House Republicans are on vacation!! Speaker Mike Johnson canceled all votes and sent Congress home, leaving families, veterans, and federal workers without answers or paychecks.

🚨 The GOP’s reckless shutdown has real costs:

➡️ The federal E-Verify system is offline
➡️ Small businesses can’t process new hires
➡️ Families & workers left in limbo

Republicans promised “stability.” Instead, they’ve delivered chaos.

🚨 Republicans are threatening a gov’t shutdown that would rip health care away from MILLIONS of Floridians.

❌ 75% spike in ACA premiums
❌ 1M+ losing coverage
❌ Cuts to Medicaid

Dems are fighting back: cancel the cuts, lower costs, protect care.
