Nevermind that the "expiration dates" are a normal thing to let the healthcare laws get edited as needed every decade or so because as generations shift, needs change... The Congress is supposed to be voting on options here, not refusing to vote at all.

I’m on Medicare.

When I get a checkup or treatment, the doctor’s office files with Medicare for the payment.
When they don’t get full payment they bill me for the difference.

There is no such thing as a “Medicare check” coming in to my mailbox.

Yes.
Democrats actually wanted to pass Medicare for All.

The corporate health care lobbyists fought that one even harder.

THUNE ADMITS IT: The democrats created affordable healthcare and the GOP wants to take it away. 💥

NEW: Trump considers a pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. “I’ll have to take a look at it,” and also says Diddy has asked him for a pardon.

Trump is just a prop.
Stephen Miller is running the show.

He’s a real-life Grima Wormtongue

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

The image is an X post by Acyn (@Acyn ) from 13 hours ago, quoting Pritzker: "He's saying that Chicago is a war zone. None of that is true. They're just making this up. And then what do they do? They fire tear gas and smoke grenades, and they make it look like it's a war zone." The post includes a screenshot from CNN's "State of the Union" showing two individuals discussing, with a chyron indicating DHS officers fired at a driver who rammed their vehicle, later determined to be someone trying to storm the Presidential Palace, as the South Caucasus Coalition.

This is like planting evidence and then making an arrest.

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

MAGAs lap it up.
Because they WANT the lies to be true.

From the front lines of the Portland War Zone.

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families — and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data.

We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district.

Let’s start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):

Same.

John Roberts’ Constitution: The federal government protecting people’s right to vote or giving them health care violates the sacred principle of state sovereignty but if the deranged POTUS and his bloodthirsty advisers want to use the military to invade other states for being too liberal that’s fine

Turning the military on citizens.

Attempting to rig elections.

Toying with the idea of declaring martial law.

Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out.

If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

THE CHICKENS ARE FINALLY COMING HOME TO ROOST

Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time.

Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense.

That crowd likes to insert facts here and there to support whatever point they’re trying to make.

But when no suitable facts are available, they just make some up.
“Alternative facts”, they’re called.

So easily disproven. The MAGA cult can't or won't read so they believe everything he vomits out of his mouth.

Sorry, Mike, but renewals are going out now. That's how it works.

Spoken like someone that has never had to make a healthcare decision based on affordability.

This would be a great week to release the Epstein Files…

Mike Johnson on spiking healthcare premiums: "They've been saying that some of the insurance companies will be sending out notices in early November. The last time I checked it's October 6. We have the entire month of October."

“Painting a target on someone’s back.”

Not as fancy as “stochastic terrorism”.
But a similar meaning and less likely to derail the conversation.
