I went to a black barber for the first time yesterday and he told me his health insurance was going from $68 a month to $180. A friend who has been struggling with IB issues and UTIs is not signing up on the market because his rate jumped from $150 to $400. I am not even bothering to look lol.
MIKE JOHNSON: Here's the false narrative -- Democrats are pretending as though this affects everybody in the country. It affects 7% of Americans, this extended subsidy
CNBC: But we are talking 22 to 24 million Americans
JOHNSON: We're going to help 100% of Americans reduce their premiums

Members of Congress should act for the interests of the American public—not for their personal financial gain.
That's why House members need to advance the bipartisan Restore Trust in Congress Act, which would finally end congressional stock trading.

Urgent update.
Our bipartisan petition to force a vote on a straightforward extension of the Affordable Care Act tax credits now has 218 signatures.
Mike Johnson should bring the bill to the floor immediately.

🚨 BREAKING: We now have 218 signatures to force a vote to extend the ACA subsidies for 3 years.
Healthcare is a human right.

Actually some of the most significant things you could do to stop antisemitism is to call it out at your public events (which you failed to do), call out groypers & Tucker Carlson (which you failed to do) & condemn Nazi-aligned parties in Germany (instead you tried to elect one).

One of the great failures of contemporary political news coverage in a lot of media is the unspoken principle that no violation of norms or decency by Trump is really news, worthy of sustained attention, unless it also upsets people who love him. It isn't "not taking the bait"; it's sleepwalking.

Every single reporter there needs to hold the line on this too.
Don't throw him a lifeline with another question if he dodges. Have each other's backs and demand he answer the question.

Just to get ahead of this: Print the post out and bring it to the next Mike Johnson presser. You already know what his move will be. There’s no excuse to not be prepared for it.

This is appalling. Again, Trump and ICE have had the option to deport Abrego Garcia to Costa Rica for weeks and weeks. They won't explain why they refuse to do this. But we know why: Because they've decided it isn't dehumanizing or cruel enough.
