The Stone Zone dissects the 43-day government shutdown’s fallout, where Trump’s reopening deal exposed Democratic fractures while Senator Fetterman’s hospitalization fueled speculation of a GOP switch. It exposes FHFA’s portable mortgages as a partisan housing fix and U.S. Attorney Alina Haba’s left-wing harassment, framing it as escalating threats against officials. Swalwell’s alleged mortgage fraud and Operation Arctic Frost’s FBI-Trump collusion—backed by Gabbard’s declassified files—suggest a coordinated legal assault on Trump’s 2024 bid. The episode warns of digital currency risks, Antifa’s UC Berkeley violence, and Newsom’s $225K scandal, culminating in calls for presidential defiance of activist judges to restore constitutional order.

Welcome.
You are now entering the Stone Zone.
I've just returned from a week in Washington, D.C. I've forgotten how cold it gets there, but I was there when after 43 days of a Democrat-caused government shutdown, President Trump signed legislation on Wednesday night to reopen the government, bringing an end to the partisan games that were being played by the Democrats to the detriment of the American people.
The continuing resolution, ultimately passed by the Senate and the House and signed into law by the President, will only fund the government through the end of January and fully funds three of the 12 appropriations for fiscal year 2026, those being agriculture, military construction, and veterans affairs, and the legislative branch through the end of September.
So the Democrat extortion plot has officially come to an end because enough Democrat senators had the conscience and were willing to buck their own party leader, New York Senator Chuck Schumer, the minority leader, to reopen our government.
Senator John Fetterman, who surprisingly has emerged as a voice of reason, a true moderate centrist in the Democrat Party, spoke candidly about the calamity within his own party throughout the government shutdown Debrico, how Democrat leadership is asleep at the wheel, and how the Democrats' maniacal base is eating itself alive from within.
Fetterman told Fox News that no one really knows in the Democrat Party who's in charge these days.
Quoting the senator from Pennsylvania exactly, he said, my values are reflected in my vote and the things that I support here.
And if that might put me at odds with parts of my party, well, I'm okay with that.
I mean, we need to be a big tent party.
I mean, that's my principle, because it's wrong to shut our government down, said Fetterman.
And now we knew that if we would put at risk those 42 million Americans on snap or paying for our military and you're the Capitol Police, I mean, people have gone five weeks without being paid.
That's a violation of my core values.
And I think it's a violation of our party's values as well.
I was sad to hear that Fetterman was rushed to the hospital subsequently with some kind of either aneurysm or some other neurological problem.
I have been surprised but pleased at the way John Fetterman has emerged as a voice of reason, kind of out of step with his entire party.
I would not be shocked if by the time he comes up for reelection, John Fetterman were to switch parties, because I think with his current views, he'd be much more at home in the Republican Party.
Fetterman once again said the right would say really rough things and names, but on the left, it's like they want me to die or they're cheering for your next stroke, even if they have a gif where they have a stroke in your head.
That means a graphic.
The Democrats thought they had achieved a political masterstroke by holding our government hostage and inducing a painful shutdown.
And while it may have slowed down President Trump's economic recovery in the short term, it may have done more damage within the Democrat Party and increased fractures that could do serious long-term damage heading into next year's midterms.
While the economy is measurably better, while food prices are down, while gas prices are down, while President Trump delivered the greatest single tax cut in American history, a tax cut that will be renewed come January, it is also true, based on a lot of the polling that I'm studying, the American people do not feel better.
And in fact, food prices today, grocery prices, are not as low as they were the final year of Donald Trump's first term in the presidency.
I saw this phenomenon before in 1996 when both Bill Clinton and Ross Perot challenged sitting President George H.W. Bush, who argued in vain that the economy was strong.
But until the American people feel it, until the American people believe it, it will not be a vote-affecting reality.
The president is in the instance of trying to turn around a ocean liner.
This will take some time, but I have confidence that between his tariff policy, his policies of cutting taxes and reducing regulation, there's still a strong chance once we get a new Federal Reserve chair and a new majority on the Federal Reserve and a resultant deep cut in our tax rates, pardon me, our interest rates, that the economy could yet boom.
Speaking of that, the Trump administration is considering portable mortgages.
Federal housing finance agency Bill Pulte said that his agency is considering issuing portable mortgages in order to help homeowners.
Home ownership still remains out of reach for many, many Americans, particularly younger Americans.
One of the obstacles, of course, are high interest rates, also in availability of housing stock.
Portable mortgages would give homeowners the ability to transfer an existing mortgage, including their terms, rates, and amortization schedule, to a new residential property.
Portable mortgages are currently not allowed in the United States, but are currently available in Canada, the UK, and parts of the European Union.
I believe that portable mortgages could help spur new ownership, too, if it could just unlock the golden handcuffs of preventing the supply of available homes from meeting demand.
Housing inventory is stuck at historically low rates at about 1.55 million units down from 2.2 million units that has been the average from about 1982 to 2025.
This is because many Americans took advantage of the 30-year mortgage rate that was put into place in January of 2021 when it reached an all-time low of 2.65% during the COVID pandemic.
So they're stuck in their homes because they do not want to lose this favorable mortgage rate that they will likely never be able to obtain again.
Public Documents Reveal Scandal00:15:00
It's common sense.
Portable mortgages would be able to solve this problem.
The FHFA, that's the Federal Housing Finance Administration, in my opinion, should move forward with this reform and other measures that help create the next generation of homeowners as property ownership is a bedrock right.
And those who own property are more likely, I think, to vote Republican.
Meanwhile, my good friend, U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey, Alina Haba, who formerly served as a White House counselor, was accosted by a left-wing maniac in her office, according to Attorney General Pam Bondi.
Bondi said last night, an individual attempted to confront one of our U.S. attorneys, adding that the deranged individual destroyed property in her office and then fled the scene.
Thankfully, Alina Haba, who is a great lawyer and a great friend, is perfectly fine following this encounter.
Bondi continued, any violence or threats of violence against any federal officer will not be tolerated, period.
This is unfortunately becoming a trend as radicals continue to attack law enforcement agents around the country.
As the Attorney General said, our federal prosecutors, agents, and law enforcement partners put their lives on the line every day to protect the American people, and the department will use every legal tool available to ensure their safety and hold violent offenders fully accountable.
This case shows once again that those who work with the federal government who are not deep state holdovers are under an incredible amount of pressure.
There are hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of left-wing maniacs who've been gaslighted with propaganda from fake news media.
They've been primed deliberately to commit terrorist acts.
They are in echo chambers like Reddit and Blue Sky, where bile and hatred is spread about American patriots continuously.
We may sometimes disagree with their decisions or believe that they should be proceeding more quickly on important projects, but those serving in major roles in the Trump administration and the Department of Justice, including Alina Haba, deserve our admiration and our respect for the immense courage and sacrifice it takes to fight every day for the American people.
These people have given up lucrative law practices and a cushy lifestyle in service of their country, and that should be recognized.
MAGA would have no choice of succeeding without them.
Meanwhile, as we reported to you two days ago, California Congressman Eric Swalwell, who has faced a barrage of controversy in recent years from his alleged ties in an extramarital affair with a communist Chinese spy,
Fang Fang, while he was a member of the House Intelligence Committee and had full access to classified documents to his infamous on-air mishap in 2019 when he, shall we say, broke wind on air.
But now, a new evaluation raises even more serious questions about Eric Swalwell's integrity and eligibility to serve in Congress.
You see, despite serving as a congressman from California's 15th district and claiming that his hometown was the town of Livermore, California, Swalwell, on a deed of trust filed in the District of Columbia, has declared a Washington, D.C. property as his, quote, principal legal residence, close quote.
The deed of trust on the D.C. property confirms the property is designated as his principal residence as a condition of his mortgage loan.
The deed also includes explicit language, making the borrower liable for false or misleading statements regarding occupancy.
Borrower shall be in default if borrower gave materially false, misleading, or inaccurate information or statements to the lender.
Material representations include the borrower's occupancy of the primary or the borrower's principal residence.
By the way, these are publicly available documents that anyone who has a laptop and half a brain can find.
So none of this is classified or any of it is proprietary.
It's all online.
Now, under Article 1, Section 2 of the Constitution, members of Congress must be, quote, inhabitants, close quote, of the state they represent at their time of election.
So, in California, maintaining this lack of inhabitancy means holding tangible, veritable ties to the state, such as owning or renting a residence, registering to vote, paying state income taxes, or possessing a California driver's license.
California Elections Code 349 goes even further, saying a domicile is defined as the place in which his or her habitation is fixed, the place where a person intends to return and remain.
So, if Congressman Eric Swawell's true domicile is in Washington, D.C., the city where he himself has declared his principal legal residency, I would argue that he's no longer meets the basic requirement of being a California inhabitant.
Therefore, he is no longer legally qualified to be a member of Congress.
Interestingly enough, I saw him on TV last night.
His defense is very similar to that of Adam Schiff, a man who's also been caught, although in his case, he claimed principal legal residence in two places at the same time, one of them in Potomac, Maryland, the other one in California.
All of this from publicly available documents.
Seems to me that on the left, a simple explanation that it's not true, I didn't do it, Donald Trump hates me, and I've been targeted seems to be their entire legal defense.
And so far, many in the mainstream media seem to be letting them get away with that.
That's why I urge anyone who's interested to go online and look up these documents themselves.
And you will see that there obviously is still a two-tiered justice system.
Now, according to today's news, the Federal Housing and Finance Administration has sent a referral to the Department of Justice regarding Congressman Swawell.
And it remains to be seen what action the Department of Justice will take.
But if they see the same documents that I saw online, well, then Eric Swawell will be charged, first of all, with mortgage and bank fraud, but then secondarily, there should be some challenge to his sitting in Congress as a member from California.

I really appreciate those kind words from Vice President JD Vance.
Had an opportunity to visit with the Vice President where I was in Washington, D.C. earlier this week.
I must tell you, I'm increasingly impressed with JD Vance.
I think he comes across in person somewhat different than he does on television, but I am very deeply impressed by his knowledge and his commitment to President Trump's agenda and his incredible courage.
He is the frontrunner for president in a party where we don't dump sitting vice presidents.
I think the president has made a wise, wise choice in the selection of JD Vance.
I think of the choices available, he was actually the best choice.
It is kind of funny to see so many lemmings screaming that we've lost the 2026 off-year elections, not recognizing that in politics, a week is a lifetime.
And those who expect the president to turn around the entire country, including our economy, within a year, I think we're always being unrealistic.
This will take some time.
But give President Trump and Vice President Vance some credit.
They have closed our southern border.
They have mounted the single greatest deportation of dangerous illegal immigrants in U.S. history.
And finally, we are making trade agreements with our trading partners that are mutually beneficial, not one-sided.
This is a sea change from previous years.
And it's interesting that I think back to 1988, that's the first year that I urged Donald Trump, the New York State real estate developer, to seriously consider a campaign for President of the United States.
He was skeptical at first, but then he agreed to do a speech in Portsmouth, New Hampshire to kind of road test his ideas.
Those days, he refused to use a teleprompter.
In fact, he refused to work from handwritten notes.
He spoke off the cuff.
I went back and I looked at it.
He spoke about the fact that our trade deals were inequitable, that we send social workers to negotiate while other nations sell, as he put it, killers, and that it was time for our NATO allies to pay their fair share for their own defense.
It was really, I think, the first time I ever heard him say it was time to put America first.
He also called for rebuilding our military strength and to not stumbling into endless foreign wars.
I point out this was pre-NAFTA, pre-GAT.
So he really was a visionary and a sage.
And frankly, I wanted him to run for president in 1988, wanted him to run again in 2000, wanted him to run in 2012.
And I thank God Almighty that he ran in 2016.
I'm Roger Stone.

I really appreciate those kind words of among our greatest presidents.
So it turns out that former Special Counsel Jack Smith, now under fire for orchestrating the invasive, unconstitutional Arctic frost operation, which spied on sitting Republican senators and members of Congress, as well as many of President Trump's most high-profile supporters and friends, myself included, had a secret meeting with then FBI Director Christopher Wray in May of 2023,
just a few months before he began investigating January 6th.
A significant case notification document was created as a record for the meeting indicating its importance.
Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin received the document as part of their ongoing investigation into Operation Arctic Frost, which could be the second biggest dirty trick and abuse of power in American governmental or political history.
Senator Grassley said, Jack Smith claims he wants to come and tell his story to Congress under oath, but when I asked him point blank if he ever met with Attorney General Garland or Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco or FBI Director Wray as part of his investigation, he refused to answer the question.
Well, now it is known that Smith did meet with FBI Director Wray shortly before he proceeded with his prosecution of President Donald Trump.
I don't think they were talking about the weather.
These men were engaged in collusion as part of the election interference conspiracy to remove President Donald Trump from the picture in 2024.
Their schemes badly backfired, as did the attempt to kill the president, first in Butler, Pennsylvania, but then subsequently in Donald Trump's own golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Both of them, I think, backfiring badly.
Now I think they are completely and totally exposed and their institutional backing they once had is dissipating.
Although many in the fake news media refuse to acknowledge that their entire goal was to impede Donald Trump's return to the White House.
This was the election interference, not the so-called Russian collusion, what we now know was a complete and total hoax.
How do we know that?
Well, because the director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, former Democrat congresswoman from Hawaii, has courageously declassified all the documents that prove that there was no Russian collusion.
There was no collaboration between WikiLeaks and the Trump campaign.
And people like Donald Trump, General Michael Flynn, and myself were sacrificial lambs.
We were set up, we were framed, we were charged in an effort to hurt Donald Trump, first to remove him from the presidency, then through two phony impeachments, then through the January 6th fiasco, and then finally in the fake documents case.
That, of course, means that the final step of that seditious conspiracy took place in Palm Beach, Florida, where Mar-Lago was raided, reminding me of the raid on my own home at 6 o'clock in the morning.
That means this seditious conspiracy can be investigated by a federal grand jury, not in Washington, D.C., where you will never get justice, but in South Florida.
And therefore, it was significant last week when Fox News reported that former CIA Director John Brennan, who I believe is the man who orchestrated the Russian collusion hoax more than any other public official, as well as FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, along with 30 other individuals, had received subpoenas to explain their conduct to the grand jury.
Penny's End00:03:33
Looks to me like justice is coming.
Well, now we learn that Smith met with Director Wray shortly before he proceeded with his prosecution of Trump.
Their schemes are backfiring badly.
All that awaits are indictments, perp walks, speedy trials, and jail sentences for this cabal of criminals.
I've been working on a piece for my substack because I figured out that the U.S. Mint currently is spending 13 cents in order to mint a nickel coin, which makes no sense at all.
But now I realize it's the end of an era and that the United States is going to end production of the penny.
The U.S. Mint announced they'll be no longer be creating any new pennies, ending the run of the penny after 232 years of production.
The final penny was created just yesterday at the Philadelphia Mint.
They're ceasing production because with reportedly 300 billion pennies in circulation, there are far more than are needed for day-to-day commerce.
Each penny also costs about $3.69 to make, which makes them economically non-viable.
In fact, it seems idiotic to keep producing them.
Whoever thought that the penny that's, you know, in that jar by the wall in your home or perhaps in your purse or, you know, between the sofa cushions at your home, it would someday be a collector's item, but I think that will be the case.
The United States is expected to save approximately $56 million annually by stopping production of the simple penny.
They will occasionally strike small numbers of one-cent coins for collectors and pneumatic reasons, but their mass production is now officially over.
This follows a directive from President Trump that was made to the Treasury Department way back in February.
So the inflated cost of a penny is a reminder of the debasement of our currency, which has lost over 95% of its value since the beginning of the 20th century.
Let's hope that this is not the beginning of phasing out of all coins and paper money and heading towards some compulsory digital currency.
I hate that idea where every American citizen would be given a plastic credit card of some type to buy grocery or gasoline or make any other purchase because that could be centrally controlled.
And if the government didn't like the church that you were giving to or the political contributions that you were making or how you spend your money, let's say on a six pack of beer or a fine cigar, well, they could just decide that you're no longer able to buy anything.
They call it a social credit score in China.
And that's where I think digital currency is headed.
That's why I don't like the real ID.
For those who aren't aware, but we have a program in place that was actually became law after the attacks on America of 9-11, in which there is now a database and that a real ID certification, which will be affixed to your driver's license, will soon be required in order to board an airplane.
As I learned recently, a simple driver's license with your photo, which used to be the requirement, is no longer acceptable in the short term.
Central Database Controversy00:11:23
The government is accepting a U.S. passport or a foreign country's passport to board an airplane, but soon that too will be phased out, and those who do not have real ID will not be allowed to fly.
I think this is a terrible idea.
There are bigger plans for a central database of American citizens.
As a conservative, as an American, I think this is unduly invasive and in fact a terrible, terrible idea.
Meanwhile, an organization of Antifa-style radical leftists is calling themselves the Students Organizing for Liberation.
They have taken credit for the incredible violence that occurred at the University of California's Berkeley campus early this week in a vague attempt to obstruct a turning point USA free speech event.
In their statement, the Antifa Front said, thank you for standing with people of color, immigrants, LGBTQI, the poor, Muslim, and all oppressed people in the face of fascism.
Today, we successfully delayed the action by nearly an hour and a half, forcing TPUSA, that's the student organization founded by my good friend, the late Charlie Kirk, God rest his soul, to rush through their presentation.
Because of the rush, we learned that UC Berkeley Chancellor Richard Lyons was in attendance, and he was called upon by failed parent Rob Schneider.
Rob Schneider, of course, the comedian and comedic actor and good friend of mine who's also joined us here in the Stone Zone.
Why do these people hate free speech?
Why do they hate free expression?
Why do they hate the most basic right contained in the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution?
Students Organizing for Liberation calls themselves a grassroots democrat organization to resist imperialism, Zionism, and the oppressive projects of UC Berkeley and the UC system.
This is the sort of group that claims it is a free speech or social justice group, but then they engage in overtly violent activity to stop free speech.
They cry out like they're victims when actuality they're the aggressors.
There are thousands of groups such as these all over the country, and although they may act independent, they all come under the Antifa network.
They receive funding from a wealthy donor system that must be put out of commission as long as they are advocating violence, mayhem, and yes, death.
President Trump made the announcement that he was designating foreign Antifa groups as foreign terrorist organizations.
They should certainly be extended to their counterparts in the U.S. as they are all clearly part of the same umbrella network taking the same orders.
There is no excuse for violence, nor is there any excuse for limiting the free speech of anyone as long as they are not advocating violence.
No, you shouldn't yell fire in a crowded movie theater, but that's not what we're talking about here.
We're talking about people who hate free expression and hate free speech and enact violence in the name of that.
Meanwhile, Gavin Newsom's former chief of staff, Dana Williamson, has been charged with crimes related to campaign fund misuse, tax fraud, and obstruction of justice.
Williamson was indicted on 23 counts, including conspiracy to commit fraud, bank fraud, and wire fraud, making false statements, obstruction of justice, and filing entirely fake tax returns.
Williamson is accused of hatching a conspiracy to shift $225,000 in funds from an inactive political campaign account to her use as a personal finances.
It was allegedly shifted through different business entities and laundered as payments for a consulting job that never actually existed.
Williamson also allegedly claimed a $1 million in personal expenses as business deductions, which evidently included traveling on private jets, staying in five-star hotels, buying expensive handbags, and redecorating her home.
Throughout the investigation, Williamson reportedly lied to the FBI in an attempt to cover her own tracks.
If she is convicted, she faces up to 20 years in prison with fines of $250,000 each per wire and bank fraud-related charges.
Again, Williamson served as Gavin Newsom's, the would-be president's chief of staff from late 2022 until December of 2024.
Should not be a surprise to anyone that a major league fraudster latched onto Newsom, who, to my view, is one of the slipperiest and most disingenuous politicians imaginable.
No doubt she found herself right at home in his inner circle.
There is no doubt that he is running for president, but I ask again on what basis he will run.
Will he, like Mike Tukakis decades ago, say that he, Gavin Newsom, will do for America what he's done for California?
California is a flaming wreck.
They have the highest taxes and the highest crime rates in the country.
Here you have a state that is majestically beautiful in terms of its natural environment, but has been run down by the high tax, soft on crime policies of Gavin Newsom and his predecessors.
So if they want to nominate Gavin Newsom because he has, well, near-perfect hair, that will be fine.
I think he is imminently beatable, but he himself has a problem because former Vice President Kamala Harris still aspires, in my opinion, to be president.
The old Democrat Party of Harry Truman and John F. Kennedy, a party that believed in capitalism, free enterprise, a strong national defense, and yes, God literally no longer exists.
And their choices seem pretty thin.

I've often said here that I don't get my news from CNN for the same reason I don't drink out of the toilet.
And now a CNN fake news hack is running cover for New York City's far-left mayor-elect, Zoran Miamdami, claiming incredulously that Miam Dami is not a regular socialist, but a Democratic socialist.
CNN anchor Abby Phillips, who is not a journalist, but a propagandist and a distortionist, appeared on the Joy Reed show.
Now, Joy Reed, if her IQ is one point lower, you'd have to water her like a plant.
She accused me of Russian collusion for three years without a shred of evidence of same.
But she spoke and interviewed Abby Phillips, who spoke about the beliefs of Miam Dami and that tired windbag, Senator Bernie Sanders, arguing that they aren't really socialists, even though they themselves can't go 10 seconds without assuring you that they are in fact socialists.
So a warning to listeners, if you saw this particular segment, it could cause you to lose IQ points.
Abby Phillips specifically said, I think this is a constant battle that is happening within the Democrat Party.
They're afraid of the left flank of their own party.
Everyone's just afraid of the S-word, but hear me out on this.
Voters are not as concerned about these labels as I think the politicians think they are.
In reality, if you study the polling, Abby Phillips is not completely wrong when you just read people the label, socialism doesn't scare them as they should.
But when you tell people what those policies entail, whether it is high taxes, whether it is the state owning the means of production, whether it is the soft on crime policies, whether it is the constant promotion of DEI and racial identity politics, the American people aren't buying it.
Their ridiculous framing is absurd.
It's just as absurd as saying that Antifa cannot really be bad because they call themselves anti-fascists when they themselves are the fascists.
They're the ones who oppose free speech.
There's the one who oppose free expression and freedom of thought, or like lauding the Democratic Republic of North Korea because what the dictatorship has labeled itself.
Does anybody think that North Korea is in fact a democratic republic just because they say they are?
The ideas of Miam Dami are unabashedly far left, and anyone with a rudimentary knowledge of economics or just basic common sense can understand what damage the high-tax, soft-on-crime policies will do to the people of New York City.
When Miyandami fails, morons like Phillips and Reed will make excuses, and they'll try to find scapegoats lacking the cranial capacity and intellectual honesty to ever re-evaluate their own views.
Meanwhile, a U.S. District Judge, Jeffrey Cummins, a Biden nominee, of course, to the bench, has ordered the release of 615 illegal aliens apprehended by ICE in the state of Illinois on the basis that their constitutional rights were violated.
Cummings ruled that the detention of the illegals was in violation of a 2022 settlement agreement, preventing warrantless arrests in the Chicago area.
Now, the reason this is particularly absurd, of course, is that someone who is not a U.S. citizen cannot have constitutional rights under the Constitution.
This absurd settlement is one of the reasons why crime and depravity is spiraling out of control in Chicago, by the way.
The lawsuit was filed by the National Immigrant Justice Center and the ACLU in an attempt to block immigration law enforcement.
At least temporarily, they've found some success in doing so with this ridiculous ruling.
So when you hear liberals whine about the disintegration of democracy and their lack of faith in our nation's institutions, the reason that the case is because of rulings like this.
This system has been gamed by the Democrats and liberals who have strategically put liberal activists into positions on the bench.
They have created a critocracy or rule by unaccountable judicial fiat, which makes restoring America to normalcy very difficult.
That's why President Trump would be wise to take a page out of the books of great presidents such as Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Jackson.
And yes, I think he has a right in an emergency situation to ignore certain federal rulings.
Now, I'm not a lawyer, but history shows that past presidents have done this and have done so to the betterment of the country.
The president should consult his lawyers, but we cannot have a situation in which unelected federal judges give these national rulings despite the fact that they're district court judges.
We have a serious problem with federal judicial tyranny in this country.
And until a judge such as Judge Boesberg in D.C. is actually impeached because of their willful violation of the Constitution and the law, well, those in the judicial branch will feel empowered to do whatever they want.

So you never have to wonder what the heck is going on here.
Rural Americans deserve access to the best of what our nation has to offer, especially health care.
Across every state and every community, America's rural hospitals are the first line of defense, protecting our families, neighbors, and loved ones.
No matter where you live, hospital care doesn't clock out.
They're there 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.
Each year, America's over 5,000 hospitals care for millions of patients, providing 24-7 emergency care, delivering babies, cancer treatments, and other life-saving care that patients rely on.
Behind every one of those patients are doctors, nurses, and caregivers working tirelessly to keep people healthy and safe.
Hospitals are our community's lifelines.
They employ our neighbors and keep our families healthy.
But now, some in Congress are threatening access to care.
Tell Congress, protect patient care to keep America strong.
