What would repealing the Affordable Care Act without more than a concept of a plan look like?

Before the ACA became law in 2010, insurance was expensive and often hard to obtain. Most policies didn’t cover pre-existing conditions.

#WTF "My anger today remains intact. It's 2025, and we see Jews in this state, freed from detention by Nazis.

May God curse those who have remained silent over the past months (or who have instead been outraged by Palestinian & Qatari lies)."

"Ma rage aujourd’hui est intacte. Nous sommes en 2025, et nous voyons des Juifs dans cet état, libérés d’une détention par des nazis.

Que Dieu maudisse ceux qui sont restés silencieux ces 16 derniers mois (ou qui se sont indignés à la place contre les mensonges palestiniens et qataris)." Andrew Fox

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

The second the IDF withdraws one inch as part of the hostage deal, Hamas re-emerges like rats from the sewers to execute, terrorize and brutalize their own people, promise to never relinquish power, and chant for the massacre of Jews.

Reminder: terrorists filmed themselves taking hostages alive and those they murdered into captivity. They murdered many hostages in captivity. Until today, they're torturing and starving the hostages that remain alive. There is no justification for this depravity. #2YrsTooLong #FreeGazaFromHamas

Undeniably, Hamas has used civilians including children in schools and hospitals as human shields. That is so sad, and so abusive toward their very own children.
Hamas bears full responsibility. They knew what they were doing! They knew the inevitable outcome!

Even during the so-called ‘famine’ in Gaza, people there were shooting and posting on TikTok. Every day.

These items are available daily without reservation."

⚠️ No one denies Gaza’s wartime misery — but the 'famine' narrative is clearly manufactured.

The war is ending because Hamas has agreed to return the hostages. This proves that, from October 7, 2023, it was always Hamas that could have ended the war.
