Obama Said it needed to be expanded and keep working on it. I knew it wasn’t the right now it’s what they could get the Republicans to deal with and even then they didn’t want to.

ACA is what they could get passed with the huge pushback by Health Insurance companies.
DEMS would’ve preferred a scaled up Medicare; more people every year until everyone was covered.
DEMS believe healthcare is a human right & should not be a FOR profit business at the expense of people’s health.

What vile b.s. to assert that people will "choose" to go without coverage. Being unable to afford coverage is not the same thing as choosing to go without.

Spot on. Let’s also add that the individual mandate was a necessity to ensure the funding of the ACA. Republicans removed this under Trump setting the stage for underfunding. The Hill just plain sucks

@thehill.com how stupid are you? ACA was a Republican idea. When democrats said that looks good. Republicans self destructed the program and attached Obama's name to it. If your not going to report the actual news what the f_ck is your purpose?

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson announces an executive order establishing "ICE-free zones" in Chicago.

"That means that city property and unwilling private businesses will no longer serve as staging grounds for these raids."

This man is an American Hero!

Pam Bondi - Wikipedia

πŸ‘€

per Wikipedia:

*In 2018, Bondi joined with 19 other Republican-led states in a lawsuit to overturn the ACA's bans on health insurance companies charging people with pre-existing conditions higher premiums or denying them coverage outright.*

Y'all, if you're not following @redstateupdate.bsky.social I encourage you to do so - absolutely brilliant in much the same way as Colbert's pseudo-conservative updates on the Daily Show always were, but funnier. They're on YouTube also.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse asked Pam Bondi about DOJ's decision to drop the investigation into Tom Homan.

MSNBC first reported that Homan was recorded in Sept. 2024 accepting a bag with $50,000 in cash in an undercover FBI sting.

Bondi refused to answer, then attacked Whitehouse.

The remaining pages of this letter from 282 former DoJ employees are a list of people whose employment ended in 2025.
It is an outcry and call to action against this shameful & dangerous dismantling of the American government.

Adam Schiff is Stanford undergrad and Harvard Law. Pam Bondi is University of Florida undergrad and Stetson school of law.

Just setting the record straight since she obnoxiously asked Schiff if he has a law degree today.
