Health insurance premiums are spiking.
Hospitals are closing.
Democrats are ready to fix this health care crisis RIGHT NOW.
But Donald Trump and Republicans in charge of Congress and the White House would rather shut down the government than save health care.

I just sent a message urging my Congressional lawmakers to support the GOSAFE Act, which would regulate deadly assault weapons. There's no more time for inaction. Join me in urging your lawmakers to pass this life-saving bill: etwn.us/4j3bsqQ @Everytown
Tell Congress: Ban Assault Weapons!

Thoughts and prayers don’t stop mass shootings, and they don’t stop climate disasters either.
This is a tragedy Gov. Greg Abbott did nothing to prevent. He still denies that climate change is real. He won’t act, and he won’t regulate.
