You can see it is pretty empty around here.

I mean, shutdowns are terrible, and of course there will be, you know, families that are going to suffer. We take that responsibility very seriously. But it is one of the few leverage times we have.

I’d be less than honest if I told you, ‘No, everything’s great.’

I do believe that the demographic shift that we were able to see and experience in the 2024 election will hold

showed growing opposition to Trumpism and his efforts to decimate the already-broken American health care system

The chaos coming out of Washington is killing Virginia jobs.

Instead of negotiating with Democrats, Republicans would rather let air-traffic controllers go unpaid, they’d rather ground flights, and they’d rather punish travelers

All Republicans have to do is say yes

This is a reasonable offer that re-opens the government.

I’m willing to compromise, but our Republican colleagues have to be willing to compromise, too.

That- as I was talking to people across the state, thousands of people, they wanted to see an agenda to get their costs down, and something that was going to take place quickly.

Democrats are ready to clear the way to quickly pass a government funding bill that includes health care affordability.

not a deal. It’s an unconditional surrender that abandons the 24 million Americans whose health care premiums are about to double.

When you have the Republicans that have the presidency, they have the majority in the Senate, they have the majority in the House. They've even, many would say- including myself, taken over the court system.

So the state of emergency will freeze rate hikes, because there are some rate hikes that are set to come into play in the next several months.

Well, it's really important that we keep up that fight, because we see in the market, costs going up by 175% if the Republicans don't address this health care crisis.

Well, it truly is hurting the economy, and you can't justify the damage, which is why the President and the Senate and Republican majority in the House need to get this government open.

With this vote, you guys just screamed from the rooftops.
