There's a reason Luigi Mangione shot United Healthcare Exec (do not condone.) There are too many impediments to folks who pay for insurance to receive claims; i.e., lengthy processes that easily exceed time allowed by insurance for settlements, etc.. DJT won because he lied & his followers believed.

Maybe intentional? Get formal agenda resolved by conceding; then refocus attention on Trump. Explains why he meets every leader personally instead of sending Sec of State or a diplomat. He can't fundraise, have campaign rallies for 3rd term. I 'spose that's just my cynicism speaking.

This is a dated expression, BUT that literally blows my mind. Pardons of criminals abound! I'm sure he was paid handsomely in crypto.

Agree. Never watched The Apprentice b/c I knew his track record many years before he became a candidate.

If DJT doesn't pay, there should be an independent audit of revenues vs expenditures. Taking in $195B in tariffs, DOGE firings, eliminating contracts (tho Musk assigned 1 or 2 to himself) - where are we REALLY?

fiired people as a punishment b/c Democrats want to save healthcare; offering to rehire folks he ordered terminated) IF Congress ends shutdown. ENOUGH! Give people back healthcare-which will end shutdown, rehire fired people & be the president for ALL Americans.

I am hoping the court will possess the courage to say, "enough" to Trump asking to pause SNAP benefits (seems like every lawsuit has been paused). Taking food out of peoples' mouths while doing designing a $230M ballroom,

The Trump administration is appealing a court decision requiring them to provide food assistance to roughly 42 million Americans who depend on SNAP benefits to eat.

This is ugly and cruel.

Theyโ€™re willing to stand up for their billionaire donors, but not hungry American families.

Thank you Nancy for your strength in leading with integrity. I hope that you will have time to enjoy life with your husband. I suspect sometimes, you will be on the sidelines cheering on those who work for the people. We will miss you!

The people asked for Healthcare, not a year from now, but a continuation into 2026. Folks fired in retribution should be re-hired. $$ from tariffs-ULTIMATELY PAID BY THE PEOPLE-should be redirected to meet the PEOPLE's healthcare & SNAP. Reduce bloated Defense budget.

1st line of constitution; not President's, Congress', Senate's, Judicial agendas; THE PEOPLE. Speaker Johnson offered to open house & re-hire folks terminated earlier on continued refusal to meet PEOPLE's agenda. On direction of Speaker, no Congressional work is being done while BEING PAID.

Tariffs hitting American businesses who in turn raise prices so Americans are struggling.

Allegedly roking in billions in tariffs coming out of American wallets, why can't he fund healthcare and SNAP?

Unbelievable. Instead of making Congress come to work (currently not working but still getting pay - although many Democrats have been there regularly), give people their healthcare and SNAP for vulnerable folks, DJT will snarl the plans of thousands of citizens by cutting back flights.

I know the election is over & the results reflect the people's wishes. Please read the second paragraph & keep that in your heart. The earmark of a democracy is a FREE & FAIR ELECTION.

Mike Johnson is NOT beholden to "president's agenda." He is beholden to the American people.

Wish he were here now. He'd frown on government not using taxpayer $$ to benefit poor; He'd be out there, distributing food & tell us we have to love/obey our leaders who have more responsibility & will be judged separately. He'd tell us it's OK speak out peacefully/respecfully against wrongdoings.

Where is Congress during this shutdown? US TAXPAYERS DID NOT PAY FOR CONGRESS NOT TO WORK!!! ESPECIALLY SINCE THEY ARE STILL BEING PAID. If they are working at home, then Mike Johnson needs to arrange a pro forma session to swear in Adelita Grijalva. OTHERWISE VACATE MIKE JOHNSON.

Where is the reconciliation of everything this year to date of DOGE cuts, extra unbudgeted expenses, remodeling, jets, security+ for DJT; revenue from tariffs & taxes .... #AdministrationAccountabiity

Additionally, we have a bloated Dept of Defense budget, we are shooting Venezuelan boats, like strongmen - are we threatening war to get access to rare earths? US TAXPAYERS DIDN'T SIGN UP FOR IMPERIALISM.

Since the US is collecting billions in tariffs WHICH ARE PAID BY AMERRIXAN BUSINESSES, the very least Feds should do is fund Obamacare and SNAP for another year. The tariffs are causing businesses to raise prices which are strapping everyday Americans.

Didn't DJT & GOP hypocrisy pack the Supreme Court? Starting w/O'Connell not confirming any judge for 1-1/2 years for Obama; then fast tracked the confirmation of Barrett in less than 6 weeks at end of .DJT 1st term?

It's heresy. She's invoked Jesus' name to NOT support healthcare safety net (from taxes paid by the people.)

It's been a few days since Trump announced his "deal" with Xi. It's now clear that Trump got fleeced. America gave up lots and got nothing.

It's a story you should know bc few things matter more than the U.S.-China relationship.

Clarity: The Democrats never advocated for a tax break for wealthiest 1%. 'GOP Trickle down theory'=wealthiest spend $ which trickles down to middle class-failedEVERY time. Truth: Economy historically functions best when MIDDLE CLASS HAVE DISPOSABLE INCOME=true.
