Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans got what they wanted: a government
shutdown that hurts working people and treats public servants — including
our military service members — like political pawns in their game.
Here’s the deal:
* Democrats offered a serious plan to fund the government, protect
Medicaid, and extend Affordable Care Act subsidies, which nearly
50,000 Granite Staters rely on. Without action, they’ll expire in a
few months — and families will see their premiums double.
* Trump agreed to work toward a deal and then walked away from
negotiations and called affordable healthcare “ridiculous.”
* Speaker Johnson followed Trump’s lead, ramming through a MAGA bill
that kicks people off their insurance and raises costs. Then, he
cancelled all remaining House workdays days before the funding
deadline — making it impossible to pass a compromise and keep the
government open.
It also stopped the House from voting on the bill Chris helped introduce
to pay our military throughout the shutdown. So now our military service
members — as well as law enforcement officers, park rangers, and thousands
of other public servants — are working without pay, unsure how they’ll pay
their bills or afford groceries.
Meanwhile the very same people withholding their paychecks? Getting paid —
and refusing to do their jobs.
Democrats remain ready to pass a bipartisan deal right now that will fund
the government, pay the people who serve our country, and protect
affordable health care. But Republicans would rather play games — Trump
even said he wants to use the shutdown to fire more federal workers and
make layoffs permanent — turning working families into his bargaining
chips.
That’s not leadership — that’s wrong. And Chris refuses to play that game.
That’s why he is refusing his pay alongside other federal workers until
the government reopens.
We need leaders who put people over politics and work across the aisle to
get things done. That’s what Chris has done in the House — and how he’ll
serve in the Senate.
