TLDR: The PA Supreme Court has kept our elections fair and made voting easier. Billionaires hate it.

She did vote though for the big beautiful bill. Keep in mind, when the subsidies expire, the premiums for ACA will increase by 169%. Many, who cannot afford the premiums, will let their insurance expire, raising the rates for the rest of us.

Am I living in an alternate universe? Marjorie Taylor Greene says she is disgusted that insurance premiums under the ACA will double if the subsidies are allowed to expire ( it seems her own children get insurance through the ACA and they just found out how much they will be paying in 2026).
Marjorie Taylor Greene Says She’s ‘Disgusted’ Obamacare Premiums May Double Soon
Greene said “not a single Republican in leadership” had addressed the issue of people’s health insurance premiums doubling if Affordable Care Act subsidies are allowed to expire.

Mr. Trump said "We could have much better health care than we have right now."

No kidding.

20+ million will see their premiums double. 15 million thrown off health care entirely.

Pres. Trump, in case you didn’t know, this is what the shutdown is about.

End your health care cuts.

Any Pennsylvanians out there?
Vote YES to retain! Don't believe MAGA billionaire Jeff Yass. This is one thing we can do to protect our state, our people from the catastrophic actions of Trump.

These justices/judges have protected our constitutional rights. Follow the truth, spread the word.

A few days old, but the interview with Charlie Angus, former member of the Canadian Parliament is worth the listen. Pay attention to what he says about farmageddon and the downfall of the American farmer.

American farmers are in deep trouble right now.

Most interesting part of the speech—a familiar MAGA tirade—was the audience reaction. Didn’t hear a single person applaud. Generals and admirals sat silently during this political lecture from a former National Guard captain. The right reaction.

Hegseth: "A few months ago I was at the White House when President Trump announced his liberation day for America's trade policy. It was a landmark day. Well, today is another liberation day. The liberation of America's warriors ... you kill people and break things for a living."

Breaking news: The government will shut down at 12:01 a.m., after Senate Democrats blocked a Republican bill to extend the funding deadline.

It’s the first shutdown since 2018-2019.

Trump was clear, if there is a shutdown it’s a black mark on his presidency. We can keep the government open and lower health care costs for working Americans, if he chooses to lead.

He continues to show he has no idea what the average American is going through, yesterday at the meetings, he was completely unaware that by the end of 2025 millions of Americans will be facing enormous increases in their healthcare insurance payments because of that big beautiful bill.

This is who he is, a racist bigot. Can you imagine if Obama or Biden posted this? Or if they did, said, or posted even 1/1000 of what Trump had said or done? Can you imagine if they would have made the speech at the UN that he did?
No wonder Europeans call him the "man-baby ".

Night of the long knives? Comparison between that historical event and Hegseth ?

Retired Army Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges drew the comparison, referencing a 1935 event where German generals were required to swear a personal oath to Hitler. Hodges states that he believed the gathering was a loyalty check.
New details emerge on Hegseth’s unusual mass gathering of top brass
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has summoned hundreds of generals for what is expected to be a short lecture on the “warrior ethos.” But top brass is bracing for possible firings or demotions.
