Oh weird, so it turns out Rs actually were sincerely against healthcare subsidies and werent inches away from caving on this?
Now you know the source of yesterday’s WH delay:

Johnson had “cautioned the White House that most House Republicans don’t have an appetite for extending enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies ..”

One man -- Marco Rubio -- serves this country as both National Security Adviser and Secretary of State.

And he was nowhere near the drafting of that Ukraine 'peace plan,' which was instead devised by the president's real-estate buddy and his son-in-law.

BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling.

🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states.

This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

It’s looking more and more likely that the GOP won’t be able to agree on a health care plan by the new year, damning millions to unaffordable premiums.

Americans just keep getting screwed with Republicans in charge.

Trump wanted to extend Obamacare health care subsidies. Some congressional Republicans are upset.
It looks like the president may have to go back and tinker with his plan.

Machado's role in encouraging what Trump is doing WRT Venezuela has been largely ignored. It ain't great.

I have to wonder if the Nobel committee thought they could bend her arc.

Oversight Dems have launched the Immigration Enforcement Dashboard to record possible misconduct during immigration operations by the Trump Administration.

It archives harmful actions against U.S. citizens and immigrants nationwide so we can hold this Administration accountable.

Trump and his Administration are targeting me because I said something they didn’t like — but here’s the thing: I won’t be intimidated into silence. I’ve overcome challenges a lot tougher than Donald Trump or Pete Hegseth.

I think people should realize here that Mark Kelly is a very savvy politician who doesn't really move from where his constituents are and is notoriously careful because he's a democrat from Arizona.

The fact that he's doing this isn't just presidential ambition, it means his voters want it.
Mark Kelly: "My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head. Six people killed around her, a horrific thing. She spent six months in the hospital. We know what political violence is and we know what causes it too, The statements that Donald Trump made incites others."

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.

The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Biden granted mercy to most everyone on federal death row before leaving office. Trump retaliated by putting them in some of the harshest conditions of longterm isolation that American prisons can impose.
