78% of Americans, including most MAGA supporters, want to extend ACA tax credits.

But Trump doesn’t care about voters. Only donors. And golf.

Call your GOP senators NOW: (202) 224-3121.

✅Tell the GOP to fund the ACA and that every American deserves health care.

15 million American lives are on the line.

Oh look the party that screams “family values” every five minutes is silent when one of their megachurch darlings pleads guilty to child sex abuse. But they’ll trip over themselves to ban books and attack drag shows. Tells you everything you need to know.

ICE claimed the victim of this shooting was in a 10 car convoy, rammed them and had a semi-automatic weapon

Her lawyer said video shows an agent yelling “Do something, b----,” then shot her five times

Trump will surely use this as a reason to deploy the National Guard against protesters in Chicago

THE CHICKENS ARE FINALLY COMING HOME TO ROOST

Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time.

Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense.

Because Donald Trump and MAGA decided to destroy Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act so they could give tax cuts to billionaires

17 million people will probably lose their health insurance

And it's likely that-as a result-51,000 Americans will die

PER
YEAR

Despicable

OK in Donald Trump’s case I have to say it’s probably a golf club, but you get the idea.

Some of us actually have to work for a living and pay for our own healthcare. Thanks to this administration—I cannot afford healthcare #TrumpsGovernmentShutDown

Life like cartoon of an elderly woman in farm garb with chickens around her with a caption above her that says. Ain’t it funny how the people telling us to work until 70 have never lifted anything heavier than a pen.

This is definitely #TrumpsHealthCareShutdown . Trump and the Republicans would rather spend billions harassing legal immigrants and US citizens with ICE than extend the ACA subsidies so that millions do not have to pay more for healthcare or lose their healthcare benefits completely. #MomSky

Trump’s playing golf on your dime while America pays the price. In Day 6 of his shutdown, the only thing he’s mastered is extortion.

Democrats are rejecting a 7-week “band-aid” that delays the fight—because waiting means 20M face higher premiums ＆ 15M could lose Medicaid.

Better to fight now than abandon families later.

Dr. Durrani reminds us:
ER doctors are proud to care for anyone, anywhere, 24/7, 365. They swore an oath to heal, not to play politics.

Trump’s cruel cuts betray that oath and put lives at risk. #TrumpsHealthCareShutdown

While 750,000 federal workers go unpaid and moms lose WIC, Trump’s out cheating at golf—on our dime. Families are rationing formula while he’s working on his handicap.

The only thing he’s leading in is hypocrisy. ⛳️

Most plans begin open enrollment on Nov 1. This needs to be fixed NOW!

Democrats are rejecting a 7 week “band-aid” that delays a fix because waiting means 20M face higher premiums & 15M cut off Medicaid.

Americans are staring down a cliff: health premiums could soar 75% and DOUBLE in rural America. Instead of fixing the GOP’s health care mess, Trump is threatening to slam the brakes on government.

Cruelty over solutions, chaos over care.

When 530,000 people already file for bankruptcy due to medical debt.

Republicans are causing 15 MILLION Americans to lose their health insurance.

Now, even more families will be left without healthcare. This isn’t politics—it’s life or death.

Healthcare is a right! 💙

This video perfectly, and lovingly, explains why and how we MUST all pull together, support each other, even if we are passionate about different issues.
