Pallone Blasts Passage of Senate Republicans’ Shutdown Deal

November 12, 2025 Press Release WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Frank Pallone, Jr. (NJ-06) today issued the following statement: "The shutdown exposed Republicans for who they are and who they’ve always been. The billionaires and big corporations got permanent tax cuts. What do families with out-of-control health care costs get? An empty promise for a Senate vote Republicans have designed to fail. When it gets to the House, I’m voting HELL NO, and I will continue to wage an aggressive battle to lower costs for American families and extend the ACA tax credits that make health care affordable for millions."
