@ossoff.bsky.social is going to lose his seat to MTG if he votes for this. Even SHE'S been speaking out against allowing these ACA credits to expire. If she's spoken out against it, but he voted to allow this to happen, it doesn't matter whether she's grifting or not. She will use this to easily win

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

It's not up to Schumer whether or not to put something on the floor and if there are enough Democrats going around his back to pass this then Schumer is not a wartime consigliere and all I want for Christmas is a new minority leader and my ACA benefits

2/ Also from the 2016 Rubio letter (coauthored with @markey.senate.gov and @coons.senate.gov):

"While the use of law enforcement can help monitor and control illegal drug sales and consumption, extrajudicial killings are not a form of justice."

RFKjr is monster who is going to kill millions of people. Any attempt to justify or normalize any aspect of his war against US, justifies & normalizes his overarching goal of killing millions of people. He needs to be opposed completely.

Your senators should get an extra phone call about this issue alone. This is the exact opposite of government efficiency.
Tax prep companies spent big on lobbying and campaign contributions to try to keep you buried in paperwork, and prevent the IRS from offering you a free and easy way to file your taxes.

They just scored a massive victory for themselves in the new Senate tax bill released today.

I miss the dignity, the grace, the humility, and the respect for the office, and our troops and the country that this great President exemplified.
