With this regime, there is plenty of money for tax breaks for billionaires who don't need them, but there is nothing for hungry children or families needing help affording health care 👇 Read more here: bit.ly/4oZRQqm #TaxJustice

My ACA current plan is going from $385/mo to $821/mo.

I've been reposting everyone replying to this post with their own ACA (and sometimes employer!) price hikes. Feel free to add yours. There is some comfort in knowing you aren't alone and knowing we'll all be voting on this issue in a year. Chuck Schumer should be chucked out. #chuckchuck

This is what a corporate giveaway looks like 👇 #TaxJustice

The deal reached in the Senate on government funding fails to prevent a massive increase in health insurance costs for families and small businesses, and for that reason I can’t support it.

"The so-called Big Beautiful Bill, passed earlier this year, was hailed by Republicans as a model of fiscal responsibility. In reality, it was a Trojan horse packed with provisions designed to quietly sabotage SNAP, one of the most effective anti-poverty programs in the nation." - Kristen Crowell

There’s nothing scarier this Halloween than Donald Trump’s disregard for the working class 👇 More than 42 million Americans could lose out on food assistance soon and millions more will have to decide whether they can afford to buy health insurance on the ACA marketplace.

“In order to have sustainable revenue, we must pass progressive revenue policies that ask the ultra-rich and big corporations to pay their fair share, reversing the massive transfer of wealth to the top 1%.” - Norma Martinez HoSang, director of CT For All

Many GOP lawmakers who were vocal supporters of Trump's Big, Ugly Bill will see direct personal benefits -- while most of their constituents benefit little or will be worse off. #TaxJustice

Q: Will the White House commit to releasing all of the donors and how much they're spending on the White House ballroom and how much of his own money the president is putting on the line? LEAVITT: We have released the full list of donors so far. Trust the process

"Constituents are trying everything possible to get the GOP trifecta to do right by working people. Meanwhile, House Republicans are MIA, Senate Republicans are refusing to vote further on the Democrats’ CR, and the White House is launching illegal RIFs instead of coming to the negotiating table."

Healthcare workers, patients, and community advocates held what they called the Protect Our Care press conference outside the Davenport offices of Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, R-Iowa, and Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, on Tuesday. Read more here: www.ourquadcities.com/news/local-n...

"President Trump is responsible for this shutdown and he’s deliberately making it as painful as he can for everyday Americans." - Andrew Bates #TrumpShutUsDown

One official week into the shutdown and Republican lawmakers are taking heat back home. Voters are outraged at the GOP trifecta’s choice to shut down the government instead of extending tax credits that help everyday people afford health insurance. #GOPshutdown

Trump and the Republicans are so determined to take away our health care that they are keeping the government shut down to do it. #TrumpsHealthcareShutdown

Navy veteran Daniel Fisk Bennett after the Trump Administration changed the VA website to blame Democrats for the shutdown: "I was shocked. I was like, 'this is unprofessional,' this is not what the VA is for. We did not swear an oath to a party." #GOPshutdown

It's this simple: Republicans control the House, Senate and White House - and so the government has been shut down because they chose to shut it down rather than pass a budget that protects our health care and keeps costs from rising. Get the latest here: substack.com/home/post/p-... #GOPshutdown

Really in awe of all people who shared their stories this evening about why fighting for Americans’ health care is important & necessary in this moment. Thankful for the Dems who rallied & are standing strong! #HealthcareOverBillionaires @4taxfairness.bsky.social @fairshareamerica.bsky.social

FACT: Republicans control the House, Senate and White House. If the government shuts down, it’s because they chose to shut it down rather than pass a budget that protects our health care and keeps costs from rising. Let's get that message out on Tuesday - see the rally details here:
