Tonight, I am voting no on a procedural vote on an appropriations deal that would re-open the government. Since July, I have been clear: to earn my vote, Republicans would have to do something to bring down the cost of health care for working and middle-class Michiganders. (1/4)

I am proposing a very simple deal to reopen the government:
- Include a one-year clean extension of the current health care tax credits to immediately address Americans’ rising costs.
- Create a bipartisan committee that will continue negotiations on reforms ahead of next year’s enrollment period

U.S. District Judge April Perry is now questioning DOJ lawyer Eric Hamilton about the National Guard deployment. She starts by noting the 14 CA troops, 200 TX troops and 300 IL troops.
But she asks if those numbers could increase, and whether the troops could go elsewhere in Illinois.
