Trump wants to end the ACA. He said Republicans should send ACA payments meant for insurers directly to Americans.

The math isnโ€™t mathing. My premiumโ€™s up way more than the tax credit, and everyoneโ€™s costs are different. How would they manage that when they canโ€™t manage basic governance?

Tell us once again how Republicans are the party of Christian Values
Tell me how Thune gets on the Senate Floor & BLAMES DEMOCRATS & tries to come off as so caring for the American people
Especially when Democrats put up a bill only to ask to extend subsidies

Newsom: "It's not about rule of law anymore. It's rule of Don. He's choosing which court decisions he agrees with. He's quite literally running an extortion racket. He's doing it with some of the most powerful corporate leaders. What does everything have in common? Tariffs. They're about leverage"

Schiff: "The president -- 'I'm going out to play golf.' One thing that is so shocking to me is that they're appealing to the Supreme Court for the right to cut off food from people. Who does that? Who works so hard to cut food from people who need it right now? The cruelty is part of the policy."

CNN: "A brand new report is out showing layoff announcements hit their highest level for October in over 20 years. It's painting a picture of a job market that is really hurting. US-based employers announced 150,074 job cuts in October, more than any October since 2003."

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106.

12 days of work in 106 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

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.

You are not a patriot if you have contempt for people who use SNAP benefits to eat while simultaneously not caring about a $300 million dollar ballroom, you are exactly what they molded you to be, a pawn in their game to divide us and enrich themselves. Congratulation, you lose.

PETITION: Protect the Center for Disease Control Library Staff at the CDC Library were laid off on October 10th and have not been brought back. Sign the petition to call for their return.

The CDC Library plays an important role in providing our public health professionals with access to the best information.

Without them, CDC employees will lose access to information and resources in an outbreak.
