This administration fired a bunch of scientists and experts at the CDC, the people who keep us safe from infectious diseases. Treating federal workers like political pawns doesn’t do anything to solve this shutdown or to prevent health care premiums from spiking for Americans.

Our federal workers are under attack. They do important work for the American people, but Donald Trump doesn’t care. He's fired thousands and continues to use the federal workforce as political pawns.

I’ve spoken to people young and old who’ve told me they simply won’t be able to afford health care if premiums double. That’s a reality millions of Americans are facing unless Republicans work with us to prevent health care costs from rising and end this shutdown.

President Trump has taken a wrecking ball to our democracy while refusing to do anything to end the shutdown and stop millions of Americans’ health care premiums from doubling.

Keep calling your representatives, folks. It’s Day 7, and Democrats stand ready to work with Republicans to end this shutdown and keep health care premiums from spiking — if they’re ready to come to the table.

#BREAKING: Legendary #Maddow: “18 patients from that #Hantavirus-stricken cruise ship have been brought back to the United States now. What do you think the odds are, that the Trump administration will contend with that risk in ways that are sane, and organized, and even vaguely scientific? This is the Trump administration that FIRED THOUSANDS of scientists from the CDC, scientists in particular who work on infectious diseases and all sorts of global health concerns. Also, they fired the people who work SPECIFICALLY on the issue of viruses spreading on cruise ships.”🤦‍♀️

The President is firing government workers—punishing real people—instead of working to solve this shutdown and stop our health care system from going off a cliff.

On top of ripping away Americans' health care, Donald Trump is using this shutdown to hurt federal workers. Federal workers like this one, who told me her story after being needlessly fired earlier this year, deserve so much better.

I’ve heard from so many Delawareans throughout this shutdown—whether they’re federal workers, health care providers, or working parents—and the message is clear: people are deeply concerned about how rising health care premiums will impact their families and neighbors. Here’s what one Delawarean had to say.

For months, Trump & Republicans have refused to fix the health care crisis they created. And many of the federal workers they’ve fired now rely on the Affordable Care Act or Medicaid to get health care coverage. I’ll keep fighting for affordable health care for all Americans.

The President has made his position clear: He’d rather shut down the government than prevent the GOP health care crisis. Republicans need to decide: Will they be rubber stamps for the Trump shutdown or work with us to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health care.

Trump and Johnson are letting 1,400 federal workers who manage America’s nukes get furloughed because of the shutdown. That’s fucking dangerous and irresponsible. Bring the House back into session, reopen the government, and stop health care premiums from doubling. Get these people back to work. Now.

Day One of the government shutdown, and it’s all about one thing: the cost of heath care. Democrats are fighting to stop your health care costs from spiking, and it’s time for Trump and Republicans to work with us to fix this.

I spoke with Susan from Idaho, whose health care premiums could go up 900% if Republicans refuse to work with us to fix this crisis. Republicans need to come to the table to work with us to extend these tax credits and save health care for millions of Americans like Susan.

.Senator Chris Van Hollen and I met with federal workers who were unnecessarily fired — and we talked about what's at stake in this government shutdown. Here's the short of it: Democrats will not stop fighting to save health care and lower costs for families.

Republicans control the Senate, the House, and the White House. They need to work with Democrats to reopen the government and to keep health care premiums from more than doubling for millions of Americans.

I’ve been pressuring the admin to reinstate CDC employees who were recklessly fired. Today, some of these workers were reinstated. I’ll continue speaking out until ALL of our public health workers are back in their jobs so they can resume important work protecting us from diseases like the Avian Flu.

House Democrats are fighting for a discharge petition to extend the ACA tax credits for 3 years. We’re pushing to save health care for millions of Americans and stop premiums from doubling or tripling. Republicans should join us.

This shutdown isn’t about Republicans vs. Democrats. This is about whether millions of Americans, like Leslie from Buckeye, can afford basic health insurance. I’ve been talking to a lot of people across Arizona whose premiums are going to become unaffordable.
