Virginia’s 2026 ACA marketplace window shopping is underway, meaning people are already seeing next year’s premiums spike because of expiring tax credit enhancements. A typical 60-year-old couple making $85,000 in Virginia will face a $18,000 increase in annual premiums. (1/4)
Republicans created a health care crisis. If they allow the Affordable Care Act tax credits to expire, it would be the largest single-year price hike in history. Virginians cannot afford this.

Republicans have had over 15 years to come up with a health care plan.
They need to get serious and work with Democrats to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits to lower health care costs for working families.

NEW: Hopes fade in Congress for a health care deal before premiums soar in January
Two weeks before recess, they're nowhere close.
Senate to vote on a bill of Dems' choosing; expected to fail.
Enhanced ACA funds set to expire, as many Republicans want.

Hopes fade in Congress for a health care deal before premiums soar in January
Billions of dollars in tax credits under the Affordable Care Act are poised to expire at the end of the year. Lawmakers in both parties say they're nowhere close to a deal to renew them.

Deeply concerned by reports that two National Guardsmen were shot earlier today. My thoughts are with them, their families, & the entire National Guard community. We honor their service & the commitment they demonstrate each day on behalf of our nation. Those responsible must be held accountable.
The shooting of two National Guard members took place on 17th Street NW, between I and H streets, about two blocks from the White House. https://wapo.st/48irgBT

Republicans have an ongoing campaign to dismantle Social Security and Medicare, oppose universal health care coverage, and support diverting funding from public education. This resolution only furthers that campaign.
Before lawmakers rushed to the airport for a Thanksgiving break, the House passed a GOP resolution 'denouncing the horrors of socialism.' The House also passed that in 2023.

Trump is calling for the six Democratic lawmakers who urged the military not to follow any illegal orders to be arrested, and he’s reposting replies saying they should be hanged and calling them terrorists.

This is part of Trump's agenda to reduce civil rights enforcement and support for low-income communities.
While I am certain this will be challenged in court, I am upset about the harm this will cause students who will be caught up in this Administration’s war on education.
