After passing $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid, Mike Johnson now has the gall to say Medicaid is underfunded.

These are the lowest cost insurance options for a 62 year old Georgian making $65k.

2025: $228
2026: $1142

She will lose $704/month in credits because of GOP cuts to health care.

This is a crisis. We cannot wait to fix this.

I’m sorry, but if #Epstein isn’t still trending, I feel like we’re not doing our jobs.

I was sent this by a Georgian this morning. 2025 premiums vs 2026 premiums for someone making $65k a year.

Republicans in Washington did this.

This is what I'm fighting to stop. This is what’s at stake in this shutdown fight.

Deeply disappointed to hear that the Israeli Navy illegally stopped the Global Sumud Flotilla 75 miles off the coast of Gaza. This was a non-violent mission to break the IDF’s horrifying siege and deliver food and medicine to those who need it most.

A bus of Bronx middle schoolers pulled up to the Capitol this morning for a long-planned field trip just a few hours after the government shut down.

All Capitol tours were cancelled as the guides can’t work in shutdown.

So I escorted them in myself and gave them a personal tour. They were great!

Explaining the G.O.P.’s Misleading Talking Point on the Looming Shutdown

Republicans clearly flunked civics in high school.

Undocumented immigrants CAN'T get Medicare, Medicaid, or healthcare tax credits. It’s against the law.

These guys lie because the facts are not on their side.

A shutdown falls on the president's lack of leadership. I mean problems start from the top and they have to get solved from the top. A shutdown means the president is weak.

In his own words - if the government shuts down, he is to blame. Please be sure to share this with Republicans.

Sens. Schumer & Gillibrand (NY), Schatz (HI), Durbin (IL), Peters (MI), and Hassan & Shaheen (NH) did the right thing by refusing to back a GOP budget that would decimate healthcare.

But now they’re under pressure to give in. Urge them to oppose the cruel GOP budget: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

This is not a fight about tax credits.

This is a fight over your ability to go to a pharmacy and afford your insulin.

We have the chance to protect the health care of millions of Americans. We need to take it.

Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. It is on them to govern and negotiate with Democrats if they need our votes.

But instead of trying to fund the government in a bipartisan manner, they are intent on stripping health care away from even more Americans.

Three weeks from right now, millions of Americans will gather again to say NO KINGS. As Trump wields government power to censor free speech and threaten political opponents, we need to make October 18 a historic day of resistance. Please join us: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

Today more than 30 of us waved to vehicles from the Gorman Rd Overpass, and about a dozen from the Vollmerhausen Rd Overpass (sponsored by the Columbia Democratic Club). Fun and well done! πŸ‘

A child's handmade protest sign which shows a multicultural group of stick figures cheering as they push Donald Trump away in a dumpster. The text "Dump Trump" is written across the top. The sign is on typing paper and is stapled to a telephone pole.

Another handmade protest sign. This one shows a drawing of the Earth with the text "Stop polluting our world!". Donald Trump stands on top of the planet and looks his usual unhappy self.

This protest sign has two smaller Earths, labeled 1 and 2. The number two planet has the "no" symbol crossing it out. The text reads "There is no Earth 2! (I'm talking to you, Trump!)" The letter T in Trump is a poop emoji. Nice touch.

This protest sign has a large crown in the middle with the text "No kings!!!" There are four smaller crowns, one in each corner, each crossed out with the "no" symbol.

Immigrants with no criminal record now largest group in Ice detention Government data shows 16,523 people with no record, versus 15,725 with a record and 13,767 with pending charges

According to data from Ice, we passed a significant milestone. Immigrants with no criminal record now make up the largest group arrested and booked into detention by Ice.

26.09.2025 12:05 β€” πŸ‘ 992    πŸ” 575    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 53

At least 16 people have died in ICE custody so far this year.

At least 1,250 people detained by ICE are now missing.

Almost half of the people arrested by ICE have no criminal record.

This is fascism, and Trump made sure his oligarchs are profiting from it.

See, they were wrong about how many died vs injured. What are the chances they are wrong about other statements? Pretty good chance. In professional investigations, you are not to leak info to the press/public bc it influences juries & judges. But this has become the norm.
