Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families — and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data.

We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district.

Let’s start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):

THUNE ADMITS IT: The democrats created affordable healthcare and the GOP wants to take it away. 💥

Thune: "We've told them we'll have a conversation about some of these things, like the ACA tax credits. Although that in and of itself is another issue that the Democrats created because they put the expiration date in place. They expanded these tax credits."

About 125,000 transgender people are assaulted in the restroom every year.

No transgender woman has ever been convicted of assaulting a woman in a public restroom.

Who is this “we” that she says will win? I’m certainly not included in that.

If the Democrats don’t cave on the government shutdown, Trump will fire lots of federal workers (which is also exactly what Trump did when the government was open)

It’s never enough, but 6 months is ridiculously short.

In 2025, there have been 308 mass shootings in the United States, resulting in 300 deaths and 1,353 injuries as of the end of August. The FBI and the Justice Department are so invested in protecting Trump that nobody is protecting us. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES. 🔄

Republicans in the Senate could have changed the rules for the vote to only needing a simple majority, like they did 2 weeks ago to get appointees through. Place the blame on the governing party, unlike your most recent headline.

There is a performance budget for costumes, stage, lighting, sound equipment, etc., from the NFL, but the performer doesn’t get paid.

Creed - 12.9 million monthly listeners on Spotify.

Bad Bunny - 77.8 million monthly listeners on Spotify.

At some point you have to admit that maybe you aren’t the target audience, and that’s ok. Listen to something new to you for a change.

It’s not a Democratic bill, it’s a Republican CR. And Republicans could change the rules so that 60 votes aren’t needed. They just did it for appointees. Republicans are still operating on Biden’s budget because they can’t govern.

Agreed. There’s a reason I know the official terms…

Republicans don’t need a single democratic vote to fund their regime. Here’s why. Please share widely.

I worked for a paper and forest products analyst in the mid 90s who tried to see if there was any correlation between cardboard boxes and the economy, and there wasn’t any. It’s anecdotal.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder is a mental illness. Obviously very different from more common general anxiety disorder or major depressive disorder, but a mental health condition nonetheless. I think that’s more what Conway means.

🚨 IMPORTANT THREAD 🚨

People are protesting the Broadview ICE facility tonight. This will likely be an extremely high-risk action. I caution you to consider your risk level before attending. I will not attend.

Attendance risks your safety, but also the safety of Broadview residents + detainees. 1/6
