Congressman Greg Landsman, who represents Ohio’s 1st district in the U.S. Congress, posted a series of statements on September 23, 2025, addressing the potential impacts of a government shutdown and recent political developments involving former President Donald Trump.

In a post at 14:36 UTC, Landsman warned about the consequences of a possible government shutdown, stating, "Trump’s shutdown will hurt American workers and our economy - and millions will lose their healthcare."

Later that day at 15:12 UTC, he commented on what he described as acts of political retribution and referenced television host Jimmy Kimmel's return to air. He wrote, "Political retribution is never the answer. Glad to see Kimmel back on air. I will say, the Truth Social post from Trump to “Pam” was one to remember. Did he think it was an email? Regardless, very bad."

At 16:08 UTC, Landsman addressed former President Trump's reported guidance to Republicans regarding budget negotiations: "Trump telling Republicans not to work with Democrats on a budget is a huge problem. We need a bipartisan budget to keep the government open and protect healthcare for millions of Americans."

Landsman's remarks come amid ongoing debates in Congress over federal funding and partisan divisions related to budgeting processes. The possibility of a government shutdown has been raised as lawmakers struggle to reach consensus on spending bills.

Greg Landsman has served in Congress since replacing Steve Chabot in 2023 as representative for Ohio’s 1st district. Born in Cincinnati in 1976 and currently residing there, Landsman graduated from Ohio University in 1999 with a Bachelor of Arts degree.
