Now that premium hikes go into effect today due to the expired subsidies, let’s look at the top 20 states, by percentages,with the most ACA recipients.
1 Blue state ranked 20th
2 Purple states
17 Red states
FAFO is going to come hard to Trump supporters. I’m sure they will blame Obama and Biden.

If you earn $60K per year, you only pay about $36 per year supporting people's SNAP benefits. However, you'll pay about $700 per year supporting corporate subsidies. Poor people aren't the problem. Billionaires are.

“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.”
In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

“If We Lose, We’re Going to Prison!”
Steve Bannon.
If losing elections could land MAGA leaders in prison, isn’t that an indication of corruption? They must stay in power to stay out of jail. Explain to me like I am 5 how this makes America great or protects our democracy.

Danes lost the most per capita in America's war in Afghanistan. Canada lost the second most per capita (if we discount the tiny Baltics).
Allies bled for the US after 9/11, and this is the thanks they get.

Again, it is utterly shameful & demonstrates the total failure of all of our political institutions that threatening our closest NATO allies with territorial conquest has not immediately ended this presidency.
Denmark lost more troops per capita in the post 9/11 war on Afghanistan. Saying they “are not a good ally” because they won’t surrender their territories to the US is lunacy. We are betraying our allies to satisfy the whims of a would-be Emperor for whom the US is not enough.

Imagine that
Turning Point USA was founded in 2012 by Charlie Kirk and Bill Montgomery
Two of their major policy pushes were a more prominent gun culture and zero COVID restrictions
Bill Montgomery died to the COVID virus
Charlie Kirk died to gun violence

President Clinton is right. This is not getting as much attnetion as it should. The USA under Trumpstein is betraying this promise, which means any agreement involving Russia and the USA is not worth the paper it’s written on 🤷♂️ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapes...

The Trump admin is executing the biggest union busting campaign in US history—currently by taking away the TSA’s collective bargaining rights. MAGA thinks Trump is pro-worker. Share this so everyone knows the truth!
Remember—vote for folks who don’t just SAY they support workers, but actually do.
