Under the Republican shutdown, health insurance premiums are skyrocketing, critical services have been disrupted, & public servants are working without pay.
And where are House Republicans? Nowhere to be found.
The American people deserve public servants who show up to fight for them.

Had a great meeting with the Denver Young Dems last night.
We had an energizing conversation about this week's big Democratic wins and what’s ahead as we keep building momentum for 2025 and beyond.

House Republicans have been on a taxpayer-funded vacation since mid-September while millions of Americans are paying the price for their inaction.
Democrats haven’t stopped working. We've been in Washington every week during this shutdown ready to reopen the government & lower costs for families.

Donald Trump found hundreds of millions to build a ballroom at the White House. Meanwhile, he is refusing to provide a dime to keep Americans from going hungry.
He would rather leave children, seniors, and families hungry than negotiate a bipartisan agreement to reopen the government.

Donald Trump has spent more time golfing than figuring out how to reopen the government.
Meanwhile, House Republicans have been on a five-week vacation.
Democrats? We're in Washington week after week, ready, willing, and able to reopen the government and lower health care costs.

The government has been shut down for 30 days, and Donald Trump and House Republicans are nowhere to be found.
Meanwhile, supplemental food assistance is about to expire and health care prices are skyrocketing.
It’s time to stop the vacation and start governing.

For months, Democrats have been sounding the alarm about the Republican-forced health care crisis.
Costs are already too high under Donald Trump, and now hundreds of thousands of Coloradans will be forced to choose between staying on their health care or buying groceries.

We are heading into a health care crisis of the Republicans’ making.
Republicans need to work with us to find a path forward that reopens the government while making health care more accessible and more affordable.
And I am ready to work with my colleagues to get this done.

Between the Big Bad Bill & Republican's short-sighted refusal to extend ACA premium assistance, Coloradans will see a 28% increase in insurance premiums.
Last year, it was 5.6%.
This is unacceptable.
We should be making it easier for people to get health insurance, not harder & more expensive.

Trump & Republicans don’t care about you.
Rather than lower costs or open the government, they're giving a massive bailout to Argentina, buying new private jets, and building a ballroom at the White House. Speaker Johnson even refuses to bring the House back so they can't release the Epstein Files.

Donald Trump and Republicans slashed Medicaid in the Big Bad Bill while handing tax breaks to billionaires.
Now they’ve shut down the government instead of stopping massive premium hikes—then skipped town for another week.

Democrats and most Americans agree: We want to quickly reopen the government while addressing the Republican health care crisis and lowering costs for working families across America.

Under the GOP's health care plans:
202,000+ Coloradans could lose their health care.
207,000+ million more face skyrocketing premiums.
But instead of extending ACA tax credits or protecting Medicaid, Republicans would rather shut down the government and make you pay the price.
