Families who are seeing their health care premiums more than double are being told by Republicans to WAIT before we can even talk about a solution.
The billionaires did not have to wait for their tax cuts. Republicans made sure to pass that last July.
Save the ACA tax credits.

Steve Witkoff promised to divest of his crypto assets linked to the Trump familyโs crypto schemes.
But 10 months in, and he still hasnโt.
So many of these assets involve Middle East countries with an interest in U.S. policy.
The conflicts of interest are massive. We need answers.

Live updates: North Carolina lawmakers approve map adding a GOP House seat
North Carolina lawmakers gave final approval Wednesday to a revised U.S. House map backed by President Donald Trump, intended to help Republicans win another seat in the 2026 elections.
If Republicans were proud of/confident about their record - and didnโt fear the voters - they wouldnโt have to do these awful gerrymanders that attack our democracy.
They know they have nothing to run on. Theyโre scared.

This week, THOUSANDS of people in Massachusetts are getting notices that Republicans have increased their health insurance premiums. By a lot.
These changes could mean some people have to drop their coverage altogether.

Remember whatโs coming: first, kill Affordable Care credits, doubling costs for tens of millions; then, cut Medicare half a trillion (sleazily, automatically) hurting seniors; then cut Medicaid by a trillion, pounding doctors, hospitals and nursing homes. Itโs why we fight.

Federal Agents Handcuff Chicago Alderperson At Hospital ER
In another incident caught on video Friday, federal agents inside a car randomly threw tear gas into a Logan Square street while people โ including a 2-year-old โ were outside nearby.
Federal agents are overtly abusing their power to try to intimidate advocates and elected officials. We need ICE out of Illinois immediately and justice for people like Ald. Jessie Fuentes who are defending their communities.

Mr. President, itโs not spin โ itโs real life for millions of American families. If their health care premiums go up, theyโre going to feel the pain and a lot of them wonโt be able to afford it. Letโs sit down and fix this

We can fund health care and keep the government running, or we can shut everything down to raise prices on people.
