I really was about to comment, “This is satire, right?? Who is this guy?” 😂

California's Yes on Prop 50 is about fighting back with both hands. @ericswalwell

Lol, I needed it clarified. I don’t watch Veep 😅

Still waiting on that Trump Health Care Plan, but even the President agrees that Republicans need to make a deal on health care.

Why is Republican Leadership in Congress REFUSING to reopen government and work with us to stop premiums from more than doubling?

Tony has stage-four thymic carcinoma.

With the expanded ACA tax credits, he's been able to get life-saving care.

Without them, his healthcare costs would jump & he'd have to drop his coverage altogether.

While Democrats fight for families like his, Republicans chose to shut down the government.

We need to act right now. We need to say to families who are going to be threatened by this that we can work together and we have a plan.

We don't exist to make profit for billionaires

reminder ✨

Republicans are telling us we have to wait to even talk about stopping health care premiums from doubling.

But billionaires didn't have to wait for the tax breaks they didn't even need?

Not OK. We need to get to work to save health care for Americans NOW.

Republicans cannot govern.

The divide in our politics isn’t between right or left, it’s between the folks who’ve been locked out—and the folks who’ve been locking them out.

I’m running to unlock it.

72% of Americans say they want an enhanced premium tax credit extension.
So let's do our jobs. Let's quickly act to extend the ACA tax credits.
Let's make a bipartisan effort to show the American people that we hear them.

Collateral?? This is not how we should be living!

Oh, I was thinking on a national scale. I’m not in MI.

Health insurance premiums for a single person will more than double on average next year if the enhanced premium tax credits expire.

This will be on top of the rising prices Americans pay for household goods, gas prices, electricity, housing, and groceries.

Why universities must flatly reject Trump’s ultimatum Universities need to form a large and powerful bloc to resist the administration’s attempt to illegitimately remake higher education.

To defend academic freedom, universities need to form a large and powerful bloc that can challenge the administration’s attempt to illegitimately remake higher education.

Federal workers across WA are facing uncertainty around paying their bills & when they’ll get their next paycheck because Republicans refuse to come to the table to end this shutdown.

Water and garbage, too.

Federal employees are not bargaining chips. 27,000 workers in our district deserve their paychecks and a government that protects their health care. I’m proud to stand with labor leaders & community partners to demand better for our neighbors.

I’m fighting to save health care for people like Leslie.
 
"[Without ACA tax credits], premiums would be $1,131/month. That's more than triple. And I'm telling you right now that's 25% of our combined income... It's simply not affordable. So, what are we going to do?"

President Trump has not only incresaed prices, snatched health care away from 15 million Americans, defunded cancer research, and give billionaires tax cuts, but he's now orchestrated a government shutdown.

JD Vance is outright LYING when he says Democrats are giving health care to illegal immigrants in our funding bill. How do I know? Because I wrote it!

Undocumented immigrants are NOT eligible for federal health care programs. But our bill DOES stop your premiums from doubling next year.

We're very clear on our side of the aisle:

✅ We want the maximum amount of people to get health insurance.
✅ We want to drive down uncompensated care costs.
✅ We want to drive down health insurance premiums.
✅ And we want to deliver good health care for our citizens.

Could you call them up to defend citizens and residents from ICE? To back up the police force in preventing people from being disappeared bc I’d be for that.

Democrats are here working to reopen government & save health care.

House Republicans aren't even in town, and Speaker Johnson is saying nothing we negotiate can be put into writing. That doesn't make sense.

Yes it can.

We are legislators. It's our job to WRITE laws.

The government is shutdown & House Republicans canceled votes AGAIN, keeping the House out of session.

This is all because they don’t want to swear in Rep.-elect Grijalva, who would be the final signature necessary to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files.

October 3rd. Three days too many of a Republican shutdown.

I'm worried about the 80,000 Washingtonians who are expected to lose access to checkups and preventive care because they can no longer afford health insurance once the ACA tax credits expire. (1/4)

Donald Trump and his Republican allies have shut down our federal government.

Why?

They want to continue to strip away health care from millions of Americans.

CTA Red Line Extension funding frozen as Trump administration withholds $2.1 billion from Chicago Two major Chicago transit projects are in jeopardy after the White House froze $2.1 billion in federal funding over an investigation into racial preferences in contracting.

At a time when federal agents are sowing chaos in Chicago, the Trump administration is holding bipartisan funding hostage.

It’s attempting to score political points but is instead hurting our economy and the hardworking people who rely on public transit to get to work or school.
