Speaker Johnson won't guarantee vote in House on ACA subsidies

Oh wow. Who could've ever seen this coming?

"Speaker Johnson won't guarantee vote in House on ACA subsidies"

abcnews.go.com/Politics/liv...

Today, I’m remembering the courage of John McCain when he voted to protect the ACA and keep millions of Americans from losing insurance.

Protecting and strengthening healthcare for the American people should be something both parties can agree on, and I won’t stop fighting for it.

Maybe Johnson can send the FBI jet to pick up his members.

7 year old mentality. Every sentence is an embarrassment to this country.

Spending Bill Would Pave Way for Senators to Sue Over Phone Searches Republicans have voiced outrage that Jack Smith looked at G.O.P. lawmakers’ phone records surrounding the Jan. 6 attack. Legislation to reopen the government would allow them to sue for $500,000 each.

"The provision, tucked into a measure to fund the legislative branch, appears to immediately allow for eight GOP senators to sue over their phone records being seized in the course of the investigation by Jack Smith ... into the riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021." www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/u...

the urgent, and–in too many cases–dire challenges people are facing in our country.

I will not let up in this fight.

I will vote no.

As I've always said, I will not support a government funding bill that continues to raise our costs, jeopardizes our health care, and hurts the people of my state.

I’m urging my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to stand up for Americans who are counting on us to lower their costs, and address…

This right here.

My red line has always been lowering health costs for Americans. Donald Trump and Republicans don’t want an agreement that meets that bar. I’m a no.

Americans can’t afford food and they can’t afford health care. We are in a cost-of-living crisis of Republicans’ making and we must address it now – not at a later, undisclosed date. Any deal that doesn’t address the cost of health care doesn’t work for the American people. We have to keep fighting.

Warner said he can't support the deal.

Surprisingly Sen. Warner (D-VA) is a no, splitting with Kaine after the Cave Caucus dangled the RIF prohibition.

So Senate Democrats are going to trust these Republicans’ “promise” they’ll vote on healthcare subsidies in the future after they’ve voted to end the shutdown? Really?

Not all Dems are wimps. Listen to Newsom, Senators.

I'm the spouse of an air traffic controller and I could not be more livid at the news that Dems might cave. I called and left voicemails for my Dem senators. If my family can hold the fucking line, so can they.

I don't know maybe it's just me but it seems like kind of a stretch to reopen the government on the basis of a pinky swear from people who LIE ALL THE FUCKING TIME ABOUT EVERYTHING

“I, state your name” if this doesn’t make his cognitive decline publicly evident, it’ll be because mainstream has normalized his senile behavior!

Find your senators at reps.fyi or call 202-224-3121

I stand with @sanders.senate.gov. This is not about politics, but about real people. It's not about securing a vote for show, but preventing premium hikes for Americans who are scared of what that will mean for them.

Trump just got massively booed and flipped off by the crowd at the Commanders game.

Our leaders are rolling over for this asshole?

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

The president of the United States is on his way to an NFL game after a weekend spent partying at his country club and fighting to starve poor Americans.

And Senate Democrats want to surrender to him?!

Fuck that and fuck them.

Agree with this.

About to publish something on the airplane mess. But this too is ON THE REPUBS. It is not a reason to cave. Dems, it is a time to keep standing up.

I’ve said it before but news outlets worry a lot about looking biased and not enough about looking phony.

Why should people trust you if you won’t say what they can see plain as day?

So the oldest person ever to become president keeps falling asleep in his office during public events and there’s no big public discussion on how this is a coverup or how republicans are lying to us about how this government is running?

Black American soldiers literally dug these WWII graves. Traumatic. To acknowledge that fact at a cemetery they helped construct is something the Heritage Foundation cannot accept. As Veterans Day approaches, never forget that this country both compels and disrespects Black military service. Always.

Because they are either stupid, deplorable, or both.

And no ear damage.
