CALL all GOP in Congress
Make this uncomfortable to go on vacation for 2 weeks
Get loud

That Capitol switchboard number is (202) 224-3121 and provide the operator with the name, Speaker Mike Johnson, and <your Republican Congressional Rep.>

Explain:
• healthcare, food & housing costs
• NO NEW WARS
"House rules, seven legislative days need to lapse before a bill, discharged by such a petition, comes to the floor. The House, however, is only scheduled to be in session until Friday, before lawmakers head home for a two-week holiday recess. ...unless Johnson attempts to expedite it to the floor."
Centrist Republicans revolt, signing a petition to force a vote on Obamacare funding
The enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies are still expected to expire at the end of this year, however, raising insurance premiums for millions of Americans.

What a terrible job the reporter did. When Rick Scott (who oversaw a company that committed Medicare fraud) asked why Democrats hadn’t fixed the ACA she should have said they’re too busy defending it against GOP attacks & would he support any legislation to fix it? We all know he wouldn’t!

They don’t pay attention until it affects them directly. AKA it has to happen to them for it to matter to them.

I’m on board for that.

It will arrive DOA in the Senate though. Unfortunately. This is ridiculous. I don’t know how these people look themselves in the mirror every day.

The midterms are going to be lit!

What makes anyone think that this discharge petition that needs only 3 more signatures will pass the Senate?

Other than the fact that the Executive Orders were written as DEIA (not DEI), this is a good article showing the war on the disabled.
