THIS. Must extend subsidies.
Caving on a deal that doesn’t fix health care is, and always has been, a giant betrayal of the American people.
Hold the line. Save health care. I’m a NO on anything that doesn’t extend ACA subsidies.

AI companies are spending billions on deals with each other, which boost their value.
This has helped twenty billionaires tied to AI add $450B to their fortunes in 2025.
Meanwhile, an MIT study found that 95% of companies using AI haven't seen returns on investment.
Be warned.

Seriously…
I must have missed all the Law and Order SVU episodes where they didn't interview the victims and just asked the criminals what happened.

Gerrymandering undermines the power of marginalized communities by manipulating district boundaries to weaken their collective voice. For Black, Latino, Indigenous, immigrant, low-income, and other disenfranchised groups, this often means remaining unheard in the places where decisions are made.

It's a sad & harmful day for patients & health care across the U.S., & its impact will reverberate for years. This bill moves us in the wrong direction. It will make it harder to access care & make patients sicker because the lifelines of Medicaid & CHIP are severed. http://spr.ly/633284mR2n

This is oligarchy. This is obscene.
While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%.
