John, this shutdown has real consequences, and if we do not get the government open quickly, food assistance could run out.

Millions of families around the country will be left hungry, and Speaker Mike Johnson continues to cancel votes, refusing to negotiate with Democrats in the House to get back to business. This is not leadership. This is not governance. This is a party that is beholden to an extreme president who is trying to rule with an iron fist.

If you have room in your budget to spare this week, will you pitch in and help us win a Democratic majority that is working for the American people?

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Let me be clear, John: Republicans hold the majority in the House, the Senate, and the White House. They could easily put a stop to this chaos and get the government back on track, but they would rather leave everyday people hungry and hurting.

I am standing with my Democratic colleagues in the fight to protect health care, SNAP and WIC benefits, and stand up for working people. If you are standing with me — pitch in right now.

Thank you for your support,

Jahana
