Let me be clear: Congress authorizes any military action into Venezuela, not the president. I'll keep holding the Administration accountable for their actions.

If the House passes a 3 year extension of the ACA tax credits - which they now have the votes to do - then @LeaderJohnThune has to call it up for a vote in the Senate.
GOP leaders have tried as hard as they can to hurt families, but the dam is breaking. Let's get this done.

McGovern: "The reality is that some people's premiums are going up 100%, and their big grand plan is to give people an 11% coupon. I mean, this is laughable. It is pathetic ... they are unbelievably out of touch. Republicans have spent a year screwing over the people they represent."

Senate & House Democrats need to publicly share the details of the premium level health insurance coverage they receive -

Republicans have tried to repeal the ACA over 70 times over the last 15 years. They've had 15 years to come up with a replacement plan.
15 years later? They have no plan.
And today they voted to spike healthcare premiums for over half a million Michiganders.

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.
