CNN political commentator Van Jones shared his ‘concern’ about Democrats amid the government shutdown on ‘Real Time’ Friday.

The emails resemble messages that have appeared on several agency webpages amid the shutdown and blame Democratic senators for Congress’ failure to agree to extend funding at the start of the fiscal year.

In the Senate, Democrats are withholding support for a measure to keep the government funded at current levels unless Republicans extend subsidies that help some Americans pay for health care through the Affordable Care Act, which are set to expire at year's end, among other demands.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy used a humorous "FAFO" graph video to criticize Democrats holding out for Obamacare tax credits in the spending deal amid the government shutdown.

Democrats agree it's time to fight. Democratic leaders across the political spectrum are shrugging off the risks and embracing a government shutdown they say is needed to push back against President Donald Trump and his Republican allies in Congress.

Five furloughed employees told NBC News they had put up nonpartisan out-of-office messages, only to see they were changed — without their permission — to partisan ones.

Democrats in the U.S. Congress have rallied around healthcare as their top policy issue in a government shutdown standoff with President Donald Trump's Republicans, hoping a focus on Americans' concerns over access and affordability could help them in next year's midterm elections.

Just outside New York City, Republicans are using Zohran Mamdani as an attack line for the 2026 midterms, much as they vilified the city in 2022.

Democrats say GOP policies could push Americans off their health coverage, but some critics argue Obamacare's enhanced tax credits don't address the root cause of high healthcare costs.
