'Enough Is Enough': Rep Houlahan Calls Out Mike Johnson Shutdown BS

Instead of promising to work toward ending the shutdown and helping needy Americans, Johnson started whining.


By NewsHound Ellen — November 7, 2025

If Mike Johnson really wanted to re-open the government, he would work with Democrats toward a solution. But he’d rather make everyday Americans suffer with unaffordable health insurance prices, reduced or no food assistance and going without paychecks and government services.

It warms my heart to see Democrats confronting his BS, in public, probably when Johnson wasn’t expecting it.

Rep. Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA) said she went to Johnson’s press conference Thursday because Republicans refuse to extend the health insurance subsidies that keep the Affordable Care Act health insurance affordable. Thanks to this Republican heartlessness, Americans are already getting notices of skyrocketing premiums.
