💡 This isn’t a “budget fight.” It’s a choice. Republicans chose billionaires over families. Their tax law gave $80,000 tax breaks to millionaires while working families face $1,000+ higher premiums. That’s not governing. That’s selling us out. #BillionaireShutdown

We all know the truth. Tariffs hurt Alabama farmers.
Go grab a selfie with our latest boards. Up now near the Taco Bell in Athens in HWY 72.

Immigration agents told him the ID card was fake, before eventually releasing him. He was released after about 20-30 minutes www.pbs.org/newshour/nat...

We're in a government shutdown because Republicans demand a budget that kicks millions off their healthcare and jacks up prices for the rest of us.
And the GOP is willing to hold government funding hostage until
Trump gets his way.

Call Dale and make sure he knows that we see which party has control of the House, Senate and White House. Democrats are desperately trying to save health care for their constituents because Dale gave the billionaires a tax break instead of taking care of Alabamians.

Call your reps! Tell them you’re done with the theater. Put the Alabama over the tax breaks you provided for BILLIONAIRES!

How the expiration of ACA tax credit affects Alabama:

UnmuteAlabama @alabamablueprint.bsky.social · 10d

Republicans are pushing us toward a shutdown to block ACA tax credits. In Alabama, that means:
💸 Premiums up 93%
🚫 130,000 lose coverage
🏥 Hospitals cut back

Real people lose so billionaires keep their breaks.

Here’s who could be impacted in Alabama by the expiration of ACA tax credits

Alabamians could see their health insurance premiums rise next year with the expiration of enhanced premium tax credits.

Every call, every email, every protest, and every conversation you have matters. Keep standing up for Free Speech and being a voice for the voiceless. Your advocacy matters. See you out there!

The disappearance of America's leadership class at a time like this means that the rest of us have to be leaders. We can no longer wait to be led by those with the power and authority to lead. You must lead, I must lead, all of us must lead. We are the leaders we've been waiting for.
