That’s the plan.

And it’s been the GOP plan since Reagan.
They have no healthcare plan. They only have a plan to take away what exists.

The CAMT was a minimum 15% tax rate in corporations as a way to TRY to get them to pay a fair share.

Something Biden enacted through the IRA and another thing Trump is illegally circumventing.
Since January, Trump's Treasury has quietly gutted enforcement of the corporate alternative minimum tax — a huge boon for big business and wealthy investors.

Meanwhile, he's led an all-out assault on Medicaid, SNAP, and other programs that help the poor.

Reverse Robin Hood.

I need those ACA subsidies.

My neighbors need food.

I’m not going to fault the only party that wants us to have both for only being able to secure the food.

Be mad at Republicans.
Be mad at your maga family.

Use the rest of your energy to give Democrats a majority.

Exactly what I’ve been saying.

Republicans did this, they own every inch of their deal. Let’s see how proud they are as open enrollment begins.

They should be questioned everyday about the suffering they’ve brought to the American people.

80% of Democratic voters want a new leader in the Senate.

Does that matter at all to Democratic senators?

As mad as we are at democrats, republicans own all of this devastation.

That’s the number one story that needs to be told.

Agree.

Sen Hassan, asked what will happen if Republicans don't carry out the deal, "Well, shame on them."

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

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"

So we’ve got 10 Dems we need to primary. That means:

1. The majority are standing firm and fighting back.

2. We need to spend every moment spreading the message that every Republican just voted to gut healthcare and make it more expensive.

The GOP can’t hide from their lies.
It's like Chuck Schumer wakes up every day by asking "what can I do to make young people despise my party even more?"

Another pardoned January 6 attacker arrested and charged with other, new felonies (in this case, kidnapping and sexual assault).

And don’t miss the part where he got caught firing off a gun on Jan. 6. You may recall the argument that it couldn’t have been an insurrection because it wasn’t armed.
A Trump supporter who fired off a gun during the 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol was arrested last month on kidnapping and sexual assault charges, according to the Cook County Sheriff’s Office in Illinois.

UPDATE: Donald Trump is so hellbent on denying people SNAP that he went all the way to the Supreme Court to block benefits.

Now Trump is trying to bully states into TAKING BACK payments they already made to families.

It’s chaos for the sake of cruelty.

The regime wants terror.

Cruelty and chaos are their brand and have been since that fat felon came down the escalator.
New — While some states have received SNAP benefits for November and USDA is supposedly pushing through all federal payments soon, that doesn’t erase the psychological terror of the last few weeks.

I spoke with 20+ SNAP recipients in 16 states about preparing for a possible future with no food:

Recipients have become political pawns. They explained, in their own words, what Trump withholding funds has been like.
