In the most predictable development ever, Mike Johnson is not committing to hold a House vote on ACA subsidies

Mike Johnson is not committing to bring a House vote on the ACA subsidies.

The White House knows it tried to steal an election and stage a coup in Jan. 2021 with their help. Now it wants to bury the evidence beneath pardons. State AGs, you know what you need to do.

Trump wants to end the ACA. He said Republicans should send ACA payments meant for insurers directly to Americans. The math isn’t mathing. My premium’s up way more than the tax credit, and everyone’s costs are different. How would they manage that when they can’t manage basic governance? 1/2

Call your Senators (of either party) and let them know your thoughts on reopening government without a realistic healthcare solution. 202-224-3121

The Democrats—excuse me, the cowards who caved: Cortez Masto Durbin Fetterman Hassan Kaine King Rosen Shaheen Primary them ALL!!!

Never forget who sold us out: Hassan King Cortez-Masto Shaheen Kaine Fetterman Durbin Rosen

Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.

Sanders: That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.

The only political accomplishment out of this for Dems is that when health insurance skyrockets for 22 million Americans in 42 days, it will be clear to even low information voters that Republicans are the ones responsible. Whether that makes all this worth it remains to be seen.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard. We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions. We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

It could come in the form of a gift to Trump.

@kaine.senate.gov Why are you voting yes to this Bill that doesn’t address healthcare ? I’m disappointed in you.

Somebody show this to Chuck Schumer ASAP

Fucking 2 senators from NH that aren't running again fucked us🤬 I'm so livid🤬

There is no Dem who thinks that Schumer voting No washes his hands of it. He is the captain of the ship and owns the process and end result. If he can’t run the team, then someone else needs to. Hopefully the other Dem senators understand the mood of the voters. If not, you will.

“I think it’s a terrible mistake,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren says of the deal. “People want us to stand and fight for health care, and that's what I believe.” (via Igor Bobic, HuffPo) x.com/igorbobic/st...

1/2 Congress just dropped a so-called “minibus” deal to end the 40-day shutdown but it’s a surrender disguised as progress. It funds veterans and agriculture but abandons the 20 million Americans who rely on ACA subsidies for health care. A Band-Aid won’t fix a bleeding nation.

Republicans win big tonight. Tally up the yes votes in the Senate from Dems. That's who we need to primary next year if they're up for re-election.

🚨 BREAKING: A bipartisan Senate deal will fund the government through Jan. 30 and end the 40 day shutdown, per a source familiar. ✅ Reverses Trump’s firings of federal employees ✅ Protects against future abuses ✅ Fully funds food stamps through FY2026 ✅ Promises a December vote on ACA subsidies

Not all Dems are wimps. Listen to Newsom, Senators.

“It now appears that Senate Republicans will send the House of Representatives a spending bill that fails to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits,” Jeffries said. “Donald Trump and the Republican Party own the toxic mess they have created in our country and the American people know it.” NYT

Senate Dems are about to cave on the one thing they were elected to protect: ACA subsidies. In some cases, premiums have tripled, millions can’t afford coverage, and they’re just gonna roll over? This is unconscionable. People will die because of this cowardice. Fucking disgusting.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

💯

The man who called out war dead "suckers and losers" is indeed pure trash, and the fact that pretends to support the military is the most disgraceful thing ever.

@schumer.senate.gov Don’t give in on a promise you need guarantees and they wouldn’t even accept one year extension on the affordable care act .

@democrats.senate.gov You’re going to vote for this opening on a promise ridiculous. You can’t believe a thing they say.

🚨 Seriously... don't even think about it‼️ @democrats.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov @senchrislarson.bsky.social @merkley.senate.gov @sanders.senate.gov @whitehouse.senate.gov @wyden.senate.gov @klobuchar.senate.gov @fetterman.senate.gov @gallego.senate.gov @captmarkkelly.bsky.social

Plus, there’s no guarantees that they’re going to pay our government employees their backpay on this.

This is unbelievable that the Senate Democrats are going to vote with the Republicans to get this government open on a promise. You cannot believe them and Johnson hasn’t shown any interest in bringing this forward for a vote. Hold tight Democrats do not cave. You’re getting nothing but a promise

The Dems who are caving are doing so not because their base wants them to, not because the voters want them to, not because the fed workers and SNAP recipients want them to… they are caving because their DONORS want them to. And that’s really all that ever matters to the corrupt

Don’t cave Democrats you can’t believe the Republicans on anything.

I’ve read this proposed cave of a deal and it is WRONG FOR AMERICA. Repubs want Dems to vote for a bill without health care subsidies in exchange for a “promise” Repubs will bring them back up for a vote later. DO NOT TRUST THESE LIARS! NO DEAL!!!!!

The president of the United States is on his way to an NFL game after a weekend spent partying at his country club and fighting to starve poor Americans. And Senate Democrats want to surrender to him?! Fuck that and fuck them.

A future vote on the ACA tax credits is not enough. The American people about to lose their health care need results, not votes.

Caving on a deal that doesn’t fix health care is, and always has been, a giant betrayal of the American people. Hold the line. Save health care. I’m a NO on anything that doesn’t extend ACA subsidies.

Chuck Schumer doing what he does best: folding to Trump’s authoritarian regime and failing the American people. You’d think after last week, he’d understand the moment we’re in and the leverage he has. He must be replaced as leader immediately, and the out-of-touch corporate old guard needs to go.

This is BRUTAL. Trump LOUDLY BOOED at the Commanders game. America lets him know exactly how they feel — to his face.

Sen Dems: OK, we'll vote to open the government if all promise to give us a vote on health-care in the future. Sen Repubs: (to each other "omg this is like taking candy from a baby") Yes deal!!! Sen Dems: You guys promise? We are trusting you Sen Repubs: Would we ever lie to you 😉

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

END P2025. Forget demento boy! Boycott news stories about The Stench. FOCUS ON ENDING P2025, STARTING WITH VOUGHT AND THEIL.

Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have “the worst health care” of any major country. Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right. The solution: Medicare for All.

BREAKING: Trump says that Every American, who isn't a High Income earner, will get $2000 in Cash. In other words he wants to issue a stimulus check because the economy is sucking. In other words he wants to increase our deficit by $650 BILLION.

Judges AND juries are pushing back against Trump's lawlessness and unconstitutionality open.substack.com/pub/glennkir...
