TODAY! Tell your Rep to vote NO on HR 5371 to fund the govt.

It doesn't include ACA subsidies but does allow GOP Sens to sue the govt for $$ (YOUR tax $$) if their data is obtained w/o notifying them (which was done legally in the Jan 6 investigation)

Scholten 202.225.3831
Moolenaar 202.225.3561
Shutdown deal lets senators sue for $500,000 over data seizures like those in Jan. 6 probe
A provision of shutdown deal authorizes senators to bring lawsuits if federal law enforcement seizes or subpoenas their data without notifying them, with potential damages of $500,000.

The shutdown may end soon—but ACA subsidies are still at risk. Call your reps TODAY:
📞 Peters (202-224-6221) + Slotkin (202-224-4822): thank them for voting no, and urge them to demand Schumer + Durbin step down.
📞 Scholten (202-225-3831): vote NO unless ACA credits are extended. #IndivisibleGRR
