Don’t be fooled by what the former president says about his assault on health care.
Patients, advocates and Democrats passed, protected and expanded the life-saving Affordable Care Act — and we’ll Save Our Health Care from extreme Republicans ripping it away!

President Barack Obama declared a national emergency in 2009 during the swine flu outbreak. President George W. Bush declared a national emergency the day after the 9/11 attacks.
Those were national emergencies.
Today, Democrats honored our oath and defended the nation's democracy. Republicans overwhelmingly, on the other hand, betrayed that sacred responsibility.
Americans will never forget.
Understand this: if Trump gets away with shutting down the government to get what he wants, he will do this again going forward. He *will* continue to hold workers hostage to his demands. -NP

Two days ago: "We will not be touching your Social Security or Medicare in Fiscal Year 2021 Budget.” -Trump
Today:

Pass it on.
Sorry, sir. But Article 1 of the Constitution is the legislative branch. And it has the responsibility to exercise oversight of the other branches of government. We would be delinquent in our duties if we failed to provide the necessary oversight.
#SOTU
Democrats are unified behind our great new leadership — Republicans are in conflict.
Democrats passed historic bills to deliver For The People — Republicans can’t even elect a Speaker.
We’ve seen a Republican House — pure chaos. We CAN’T let them burn down what we’ve built. -NP

In the darkest hours of the American Revolution, Thomas Paine wrote: “The times have found us” – and today they have found us again. We do not place ourselves in the greatness of our Founders – but we do place ourselves in the urgency we face in securing our democracy.
Mexico said NO. Voters said NO. Congress – armed with the exclusive constitutional power of the purse – said NO.
Trump is trashing our Constitution by abusing his executive power with
#FakeTrumpEmergency
. This is a naked power grab that “didn’t need” to happen. It won’t work.
If your notion of addressing food security is a tax deduction for expensive business dinners but not making sure that no child in America goes to bed hungry, you may be a Republican Senator.
The baby formula shortage is about hungry children and anguished moms. That’s why Democrats acted to deliver formula safely and swiftly to families.
And yet - after days of scapegoating, when they had a chance to help, 192 House Republicans said NO. This is who they are. -NP
FACT: House Democrats have voted 10 times to
#EndTheShutdown
and get our government working for the people again.
Mitch McConnell and the Senate GOP, however, continue doing Trump’s bidding by holding our national security and workers hostage to his demands.

Because of Trump, Mitch McConnell, and the Republican-controlled Supreme Court, American women today have less freedom than their mothers.
The hypocrisy is raging; the harm is endless. Democrats cannot let this assault stand. We will organize and vote to restore our rights. -NP
Democrats will hold the House, add 2 senators, and break the filibuster for the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and the Women’s Health Protection Act to codify Roe and enshrine our freedoms.
Women, know your power and show your power. We are NOT going back!

Trump: "I am proud to shut down the government..."
He's "proud" of the pain he's causing hard-working families who cannot make ends meet.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death is an incredibly devastating loss for America. She fought for our values til the end. And so will we. We are in this together.
Before you set off to celebrate with family, friends, and loved ones, I wanted to let you know how thankful I am for all of you.
Together, we did something amazing this year–we won back a Majority in the House. Come January, that Majority will fight for our values & priorities.
House Republicans have already proven that they have no interest in governing and delivering For The People.
Democrats remain unified and ready to get to work to keep delivering and to guard our progress for America's working families. -NP
You may have heard us say this before, but it bears repeating.
Any one of our candidates is better than the current occupant of the White House who's been abusing his power and has engaged in a corrupt bribery scheme.
Trump is accelerating his attacks -- his distractions and lies are getting worse. We must be laser-focused on protecting our Majority so we can keep fighting to defend our democracy and root corruption out of the White House.
This isn't leadership:
-Fighting to strip health care from millions of Americans;
-Handing tax breaks to billionaires and huge corporations at the middle class' expense;
-Shutting down the government, ripping children from their families, & cozying up to foreign adversaries.
From "everyone was in the loop" in the Trump bribery scheme to "we followed the President’s orders" -- the news coverage across the country for Trump and Republicans engaging in the cover up campaign has been brutal.
Don't take it from us though. See for yourself. 📰📺👇

If Republicans were "good on the economy," the last 3 Democratic Presidents that followed one wouldn't have had to:
🔹Drag us out of recession — Clinton
🔹Enact emergency Recovery aid — Obama
🔹Rescue our economy from freefall — Biden
End this myth once and for all. Pass it on!
Remember: whatever Trump says about House Democrats, he's projecting his own unruliness.
We will not surrender our constitutional responsibility for oversight. That would make us delinquent in our duties.
House Republicans ran on “lowering the deficit” — but their first act would raise the deficit by $114 billion.
They're not serious about governing — only garnering headlines at the expense of America's working families.
Democrats will stop them! -NP
What Trump meant to say is that under Nancy's leadership, Democrats rewrote & passed an improved economic trade agreement that contains the strongest enforcement mechanisms – securing pivotal victories for workers, lower prescription drug costs & environmental protections.
#SOTU
No coincidence that the last 3 Democratic Presidents following Republicans had to reverse a Recession and enact Recovery and Rescue plans.
Republican policies "rescue" the rich — but devastate the jobs market and crush working families' prospects.
Every. Single. Time.
161 House Republicans believe our workers don't deserve a raise. Oh but they'll bend over backwards to give wealthy people and corporations shipping jobs overseas $1.5 trillion in tax cuts. They're not

must resign now. She's allowing Trump to ruthlessly hold vulnerable children hostage, to use them as bargaining chips. This is beyond morally reprehensible.
RETWEET if you also agree.
House Republicans spent the week yelling about high costs — then said NO to Democrats' plans to help:
🔹Reduce gas prices
🔹Lower grocery prices
🔹Strengthen food supply chains
🔹Help US farmers
🔹Boost meat industry competition
Vote for solutions — Vote for Democrats!
If Trump's speech frustrated you, convinced you even further that we have to stop his fear-mongering agenda -- do something about it.
Getting this government working for the people will take time. We need to protect our House Majority. That work starts right now.

Barely three months into her second turn in charge, Nancy Pelosi has already mapped out a plan to overwhelm Republicans in the 2020 elections.
"I'm going to have our races won by this November," Pelosi said.
By taking up the disgraced, defeated former president’s desperate “total immunity” claim, the United States Supreme Court has put itself on trial.
The American people deserve a swift and decisive ruling that

Trump has committed an assault on our nation and our people.
Pence must remove him and invoke the 25th amendment. If they fail to act, we may be prepared to move forward with impeachment.
Justice will be done to those who carried out these acts of sedition and cowardice. -NP

It’s extremely troubling how scared Republicans are of the truth given the fact that our democracy is at stake. Now *that’s* something worth worrying about.
The facts were overwhelming. He gave us no choice. That is why the current occupant of the White House is impeached forever.
And with each passing day, we learn of his corrupt mission to cheat in the 2020 election. -NP
Paul Ryan deleted his embarrassing tweet of a blatant admission because he and Republicans don’t want you to know the truth: the
