There is only one way Chump & #GOP win. And that's if we give up. Everything they are doing is designed to destroy our hope, to pressure us, to "mess with us" & divert us.

But it isn't working. And they know it & grow more desperate by the day.

Plant your feet, stand your ground, & #NeverGiveUp !

500 hospitals, nursing homes, and clinics are at risk of closing because of the Trump-Republican big, ugly bill. Many are in rural areas.

Meanwhile, Republican-held US House districts and states Trump won in 2024 rely more on ACA coverage.

They're selling out their own voters.

I'm not a conservative commentator. No Billionaire is offering me $150 million. No TV network will make me its editor in chief.

I am just a lawyer who fights hard for democracy. I built Democracy Docket to keep you informed. For $10 a month, you can help it do its vital work. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0
