The workers whose health care is most at stake in the government shutdown About 10 million small-business owners, employees and the self-employed are caught in the middle of the shutdown fight over the Affordable Care Act.

This is a for my fellow small business owners and self-employed people.
I object to using the words β€œsubsidy” or β€œsubsidies” because these are actually advance tax credits. Letting these expire is an enormous Republican TAX INCREASE. Please call your representatives in Congress:

UPDATE: Hedge fund billionaire pressed Treasury Secretary for Argentina bailout, Argentine media reports Rob Citrone, whose hedge fund bet big on Argentina, reportedly asked his friend for a rescue package. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent delivered.

If the US government can afford to bail out hedge fund billionaires that bet (& lost big) on Argentina’s economy, they can afford to restore health insurance subsidies to middle class Americans.

Maybe it’s because I lived in Texas when I was young, but corn tortillas, cheese, and knowing how to cook dried beans from scratch saved my life more often than I can remember.

I can’t say enough about how weirdly dated Tesla cars look to me. And I drive an β€˜06 Tacoma.

Since we are going to have to talk about it more often, let’s be clear: it’s β€œmartial law,” not β€œMarshall law.”

It’s a Wednesday repeat on both, unfortunately. Do we need to hold a fundraiser to get some kind of new hardware for y’all?

Talk about absurd. You're posting about tariffs while an unelected billionaire has taken over the Federal payments system.

This is a coup. Stop F-ing around and DO SOMETHING. Or step down and allow someone who understands what's happening DO SOMETHING.

Hey Senator - Did you notice that unelected co-President Elon Musk and his team of hackers now have control of the Federal payment system at Treasury?

This is an emergency and avocado prices are the LEAST of our worries. Shut down the Senate!

Stop campaigning like it's 1996 and WAKE TF UP ALREADY!
