5:32:04Now PlayingUS Congress LIVE: Watch as Senator Jeff Merkley and Senate Democrats hold the floor through the night in a dramatic stand-off with the Trump administration over health care and the 22-day government shutdown—the longest of the Trump presidency. Merkley’s marathon speech denounces “Trump’s authoritarian threats” and accuses the president of trying to end health subsidies for millions, sending troops to cities, and weakening constitutional checks on executive power. Democrats have blocked GOP funding bills 11 times, holding out for Affordable Care Act protections, as hundreds of thousands of federal employees remain unpaid and government services grind to a halt. With Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and other top Democrats rallying in support, Merkley’s floor protest is being hailed by progressives as a “line in the sand for American democracy.” Tune in now for non-stop live coverage, speeches, and analysis as the shutdown showdown reaches a fever pitch.
