One of the most important provisions of the ACA was eliminating pre-existing conditions exclusions from insurance plans.

Folks need to be reminded that if the ACA goes away, so does that provision.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

New WaPo/ABC poll:

45% of Americans blame Trump and congressional Republicans for the shutdown. 33% blame Democrats.

By a 2-to-1 margin, Independents blame Trump and Republicans over Democrats: 46% to 23%.

This is why I am so proud to be a Democrat. We are NOT the same as Republicans. We are just fundamentally different people and the corporate media is WORTHLESS. Well done Rep. Joe Neguse!

Happy Halloween 👻 🎃

NEW: Paul Newby, a born-again Christian, has turned his perch atop North Carolina’s Supreme Court into an instrument of political power.

Over two decades, he’s driven changes that have reverberated well beyond the borders of his state.

And their response will be another centrist PAC devoted to promoting stern letters 🙄

I love Dutch!

All of the pilfering, vandalism, and outright death caused by DOGE cuts, and all of the thefts from the future by illegally stopping research grants, didn't save a penny, Trump spent the money and more on corruption and incompetent ICE goons.

34 people killed in 50 days. Their guilt or innocence unknown, for an alleged crime that doesn't carry a death sentence. That's a lot of death.

'Our hands are tied': Can anyone stop Trump's tear-down of the East Wing? Many preservationists fear the answer is no. A pro-Trump review board is expected to approve the president's planned 90,000-square-foot ballroom, too. Today at 2:49 p.m. EDT

Bullshit. Congress can stop this any time it wants, but it’s controlled by cowards whose slogan is YES KING.

Voters who see what Trump is doing right now--the demolition, the extortion, the lying, the targeting of enemies, the weaponization of every branch of government--and support it only because Democrats hate it are failed citizens and bad Americans. They do not merit anyone's respect or outreach.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.

Washington Post: White House begins destroying East wing facade to build Trump’s ballroom

It’s not his house. It’s your house. And he’s destroying it.

Mike Johnson is really squirming on ABC right now.

It’s been 23 days since @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social won her election, and she still hasn’t been sworn in.

It’s time to swear in Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva.

AZ-07 deserves representation.

Republicans can’t be bothered to negotiate with Democrats to stop your insurance premiums from skyrocketing—but they have no problem with Trump bailing out Argentina with $20B of your money.

So much for America First!

Unsure is the only option they won’t spin as being in their favor. 🙄

Why are the farmers destabilized, Scott?

that johnson is more terrified of seating a duly elected democrat who could force an epstein vote than having the entire government shut down really makes me wonder about that epstein vote tbh

Only Lenny Kravitz can get away with that shit. 😂

Affordable Care Act premiums will rise 114% if enhanced subsidies expire, health policy researcher finds The federal government may shut down if Congress can't reach a deal about enhanced premium tax credits, slated to expire at the end of 2025.

Trump said he'd cut costs on day one. In reality: costs are up across the board because of his tariffs and Big Ugly Bill. Now, he and his party shut down the government because they won't even consider making a deal to stop health costs from skyrocketing.

MAGA: If you want to know what the rest of the world thinks of Donald Trump, here you go.

They think he's an idiot and a buffoon.

Because that's what he is.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The most important thing to remember about Bad Bunny performing at the Super Bowl is that Puerto Rico is a colony whose residents are US citizens and pay taxes but don't get to vote for the president, have no voting representation in Congress,

Trump announces 'TrumpRx' website for pharmaceutical drugs after Pfizer deal Trump said the move will help improve healthcare access for low-income Americans.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should you give a list of the prescriptions you take to a federal government that has directly targeted people with chronic illness, mental illness, disability, autism, etc, with the eugenic language of elimination and stated outright they’re everything wrong with the country.

(v)Medical assistance to aliens not lawfully admitted for permanent residence (1)Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this section, except as provided in paragraphs (2), (4), and (5), no payment may be made to a State under this section for medical assistance furnished to an alien who is not lawfully admitted for permanent residence or otherwise permanently residing in the United States under color of law. (2)Payment shall be made under this section for care and services that are furnished to an alien described in paragraph (1) only if— (A)such care and services are necessary for the treatment of an emergency medical condition of the alien, (B)such alien otherwise meets the eligibility requirements for medical assistance under the State plan approved under this subchapter (other than the requirement of the receipt of aid or assistance under subchapter IV, supplemental security income benefits under subchapter XVI, or a State supplementary payment), and (C)such care and services are not related to an organ transplant procedure. (3)For purposes of this subsection, the term “emergency medical condition” means a medical condition (including emergency labor and delivery) manifesting itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity (including severe pain) such that the absence of immediate medical attention could reasonably be expected to result in— (A)placing the patient’s health in serious jeopardy, (B)serious impairment to bodily functions, or (C)serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part.

Please share: Federal law explicitly prohibits healthcare funds going to illegal immigrants. Don't let Republican liars get away w/saying otherwise.

Only payments for emergency care are allowed, which keep hospitals from bankruptcy.

We must pay billions to farmers

Because we cut off their customers with tariffs

And pay billions to Argentina

Whose farmers are selling to the customers we forfeited

Because that is America First
