Children lost healthcare coverage as Trump delayed CHIP funding, slashed ACA outreach resources, and attacked immigrant families' access to government programs.

"The GOP tax cuts for the rich aren't going to pay themselves. That cash has to come from somewhere," tweeted one critic

Republicans are now pretending to care about funding for health centers that they allowed to lapse four months ago

Sens. Sanders and Baldwin demand urgent action as thousands of community health centers face uncertain future without federal funds

Critics urge Democrats to "stand strong" while calling on Republicans to end the shutdown "with a bipartisan solution for Dreamers, CHIP, the military, and disaster relief."

At some of the hundreds of Women's March events taking place across the country on Saturday, attendees voiced their anger over the GOP's refusal to include immigrant protections in a spending bill to keep the government running

"American voters expect Republicans—who control all branches of government—to figure this out and pass a spending deal that reflects American values."

"If the Republicans DO shut down the government, be the first to say '#DoYourJob, pass the #DreamAct, and end the #TrumpShutdown now!'"

"It's unconscionable that Republicans delayed CHIP for months to use kids as a bargaining chip to entice Democrats to sell out Dreamers."
