Chuck Schumer wants to take those funds away.

They're trying to make sure that the rural hospitals can access them because they know that this effort is underway.

And so our members are doing very productive work.

We're in constant communication with them.

And we are ready to come back and continue the work in our committees and everything on the House floor.

We will return to legislative session as soon as the Democrats come to their senses and open the government.

That is a necessity so that the work can continue and the members of Congress can do their jobs.

And that's what we will do.

That's our commitment.

It always has been.

This has to stop.

We're on day 13.

This should end tomorrow.

The Democrats in the Senate's next opportunity to end this, to change this and vote yes and reopen the government will be tomorrow.

And I pray that they will do the right thing.

And then we'll all get together and have our partisan disputes and discussions on all the issues that remain on the table for the end of the year.

We're doing our work behind the scenes.

We're preparing for that moment, and we can't wait for it to happen.

So the question is for the Democrats.

When will Congress get going again?
