Mike Johnson and his family have 75% of all their healthcare expenses subsidized by US taxpayers even though he makes a base of $225K per year
Breaking news: Moderate House Republicans join Democrats to force a vote on ACA subsidies, which are likely to expire.
Speaker Mike Johnson had refused to allow a vote, provoking the strongest rebellion among Republicans from swing districts to date.

Moderate House Republicans join Democrats to force vote on ACA subsidies
The Senate has already rejected the plan, so the subsidies are still virtually certain to expire at the end of this year.

The Trump Admin wants to turn the clock back to 2008 and let Wall Street run wild.
We all know how that ended – with taxpayers bailing out Wall Street while millions lost their homes and got fired from their jobs.
Donald Trump could be setting the stage for the next crash.

Exclusive: The Department of Veterans Affairs will abruptly eliminate as many as 35,000 health care positions this month, mostly unfilled jobs.
The cuts come after a massive reorganization effort already resulted in the loss of almost 30,000 employees.

It's not a question of politics or party. Congress has a constitutional obligation to impeach and to remove a president who commits high crimes and misdemeanors and forsakes his solemn oath.
And there has never been a president who has committed as many impeachable offenses than this one.
And there has never been a president who has committed as many impeachable offenses than this one.
There's a Hill bubble narrative, posing as savvy realism, in treating impeachment as some radioactive poison and so Democrats must squash any talk of it. But there's zero evidence for that. No polls back it up, nor recent history. It's all just pundit-brained conventional wisdom eating its own tail.
