Oh, we finally found Trump’s healthcare plan! It’s: kick everyone off their insurance, send them a couple thousand dollars, and wish them luck with their medical bills.

Wouldn’t universal healthcare be far easier if you truly don’t like the “big, bad” insurance companies?

ICE is still being paid.
Congress is still being paid.

Private jets are still being bought.

The White House is still being renovated.

In the most prosperous country in the history of the world...

Seriously? He has no idea how insurance works or how to govern. I’ll never get over 77 million people thinking a man this incompetent belongs anywhere near the Oval Office.

Um, do federal prosecutors *really* want to take the position that it's not okay to receive something of value from … Qatar?

I can think of 747 reasons why they shouldn't. 🤔

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107.

12 days of work in 107 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.

Attn Pennsylvania voters: Reports are coming in of signs near polling places reading “No Kings, No Retention” with a crown-slash logo. These signs are fake and misleading, part of a disinformation push. In Pennsylvania, you should vote YES to retain the Supreme Court justices on the ballot.

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter.

He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

The administration says they will provide partial SNAP payments for November! When you vote next November remember that they didn't put up a partial ballroom or give the rich a partial tax break but they did screw you fully!

The insulin patent was sold for $1 to ensure it would always be available to anyone who needs it.

It should be free, and healthcare should be a basic human right guaranteed to everyone.

“Fastest accumulation of $1 Trillion in debt outside of the pandemic…”

But at least the rich got their tax cuts, right @MarshaBlackburn? With Inequality at gilded age levels.

PSA: They don’t care about the debt and never did.

How presidents have changed the White House — and how Trump's ballroom is different President Trump is demolishing the East Wing to make room for a ballroom. His administration says he's continuing a presidential legacy of White House renovations, but this is the biggest in decades.

TEARING DOWN THE EAST WING OF THE WHITE HOUSE TO BUILD A BALLROOM FOR A BILLIONAIRE ISN'T RENOVATION. IT'S ENTITLEMENT AND CONTEMPT FOR THE PEOPLE. THE WHITE HOUSE BELONGS TO ALL OF US. INVEST IN HOUSING AND HEALTH CARE, NOT LUXURY LOBBIES. #EASTWINGDEMOLITION

Reporter: Can the President tear down anything he wants without oversight? Can he demolish this building or The Jefferson Memorial?

Reporter: The president had initially said that this project wouldn't interfere with or touch the current structure.

Leavitt: If you look at the renderings, it's very clear the east wing was going to be modernized.

Reporter: But modernizing and tearing down are two different things.
