WATCH: Susan Collins just voted to raise health care prices on Mainers and shut down the government.

Over 50,000 Mainers benefit from ACA tax credits, and she just voted against each and every one of them. #MESen

Uhhh... there's a very interesting YouTube playlist linked on Jack Ciattarelli's fundraising email list. 👀

"Jack Hates Trump."

Might be time to rethink that consulting firm, Jack. #NJGov

John Kennedy claims that some Senators will have to settle for a bill that hurts their constituents.

"Some people are just going to have to settle for a ham and egg sandwich without the ham."

Also, the "ham" is funding for rural hospitals, food assistance, and Medicaid.

Bill Cassidy thinks Donald Trump will go crawling back to Elon Musk.

"They go back and they kiss and they make up, and, you know, I'm sorry, dear, I said something I shouldn't have said and I won't do it again."

After saying they wouldn’t, the GOP voted to support Trump’s bill that will kick 8.6m Americans off Medicaid and make life even harder for Americans struggling with Trump’s crumbling economy and sky-high prices. They lied, and we have receipts. 🧵⬇️

Check out Chip Roy's face when reporters ask about the deal that the Freedom Caucus negotiated with the White House.

They don't want to tell the American people about the devastating cuts they are negotiating in backrooms.

@robmenendez.com hits Republicans for making massive cuts to Medicaid while refusing to meet with their constituents.

"Unlike our friends across the aisle, we have town halls and no one says health care is too affordable."

Kevin Hassett says there WILL be cuts to Medicaid and that the uncertainty about making cuts is “close to 0.”

The Republican plan was never about helping working families. It’s about gutting health care to bankroll more tax breaks for billionaires.
