Reminder: Just because ACA subsidies expire at the end of the year does not mean Congress still cannot extend them. Congress can and should.

It is an abject failure of Congress for leaving town without extending ACA tax credits. But, while they expire, there is no drop-dead date for extending them. Congress still must do so in 2026. www.cnn.com/2025/12/19/p...

We have 16 days to go until ACA subsidies expire for millions. Congress is no closer to getting anything done. If we let these subsidies expire, we will fail Americans across our nation. www.cnn.com/2025/12/14/p...

ACA subsidies expire in three weeks. There remains no direction from Capitol Hill as to the future of healthcare in America. The urgency has never been so great. It's time to protect healthcare and lower premiums for all.

AI for good can exist, but it won’t happen on it’s own. So, we’re tracking it as best we can —https://codeforamerica.org/programs/artificial-intelligence/

Three weeks until ACA premiums double for many Americans. If Congress doesn't get its act together, millions are going to lose insurance. www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

Affordability is not a con job, and Americans uniformly agree. We need to lower costs, not raise them and it starts with ACA premiums. www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

Are you terrified that your healthcare premiums are about to surge next year? Here's what you can do about it, especially as our leaders refuse to take action. qz.com/healthcare-c...

We cannot forget that in less than two months, Americans are going to face a massive affordability crisis. We need Congress to extend ACA subsidies now. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

I know it’s exhausting fighting just to make sure people have food on the table and now, it’s health care. I’m in… always in…for making sure we can look back on this time and say — we took care of people. www.brookings.edu/articles/why...

Trying to make sense of the impossible choices being forced right now. We need to be honest about what’s happening and we need to do everything to build a system, including electing leaders, where no one has to make that trade-off. substack.com/@renterianew...

Putting people first is how real change happens. At Code for America, 35 states now use unified benefit applications that make it easier for families to access the support they need. Proud to join Eric and Kirk on the Let’s Hear It podcast to talk about building a future where government works.

The federal government must fully fund November food assistance benefits. The most vulnerable in our society are being harmed right now. We cannot wait any longer. codeforamerica.org/news/stateme...

Government systems don’t restart like flipping a switch. Please look out for your neighbors. This is a tough time for a lot of people. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

“Indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.” We say it—but do we feel it? Democracy isn’t just in ballots or courtrooms. It’s in schools that work, permits that process, neighbors who talk. That’s how we keep the promise alive. substack.com/profile/2550...

This is a good start, but it cannot be the end. We need to fund SNAP benefits now. If the federal government won't do it, then states need to. www.cnbc.com/2025/10/28/t...

I've said it before and I will say it again: reopen the government now. 40 million Americans are about to lose their SNAP benefits. thehill.com/homenews/hou...

In moments like this—during government shutdowns, amid policy uncertainty, in an increasingly “figure it out yourself” society—we need to be clear-eyed about who bears the weight of dysfunction. I break it down: substack.com/@renterianew...

This is urgent. We need to protect healthcare and reopen the government ASAP. This is harming the most vulnerable in our society. www.axios.com/2025/10/20/s...

SNAP benefits will be impacted for the Virgin Islands. This is just the beginning. We need to end this government shutdown and protect healthcare. Otherwise, the most vulnerable in our nation will suffer. meidasnews.com/news/federal...

No resolution in site. We’re 13 days into a government shutdown and the American people are struggling. We need to open it up and protect healthcare in the process. www.cnn.com/2025/10/13/p...

This shutdown feels different. States will soon reach a breaking point and millions could see disruptions to food assistance. Now, thousands are being fired from their jobs. We deserve better. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

If you’re like me, and find yourself trying to piece together the path forward to a more connected and caring world, here is a hopeful article that reminds us of our history that has been tested before and acts of forgiveness that help pave the way.  www.nytimes.com/2025/10/06/o...

Millions of women and children are on the verge of losing critical nutrition benefits because of the government shutdown. We need to find a way to open it back up while extending ACA subsidies. This must happen ASAP. www.cnn.com/2025/10/06/p...

The data is clear: Republicans, Democrats, and Independents support extending the Affordable Care Act subsidies. Get it done.

We had 2,000 people register for FormFest! If you don't know, you don't know. This annual gathering has become a place to learn, share, and showcase good government stories. In fact, a big Congrats to all of our Formie winners this year: New Zealand, NE, CA, SD, & TX! www.govtech.com/gov-experien...

All eyes need to be on the Affordable Care Act subsidies that will expire at the end of this year. Millions will lose access to healthcare if these subsidies expire. We cannot let them. We must keep healthcare costs down.

Need some hope? We at Code for America are teaming up with Beeck Center to celebrate how governments around the world are improving their systems. Join us and the 1k+ virtual attendees for this FormFest.

The AI race in government is on. While the federal level rushes, states like PA, NJ, and UT show a smarter path: build secure infrastructure first, train staff, and create governance early. When AI fails, families lose food, healthcare, and vital services. www.route-fifty.com/artificial-i...

Rebuilding trust in government requires following the law, not weaponizing hunger against families that seek out support. 41.7M Americans depend on SNAP, 2/3 are children, elderly, or disabled. They deserve protection, not surveillance. statescoop.com/judge-blocks...

We can do amazing things! This headline is a reminder.

No member of Congress should vote for a bill that allows Affordable Care Act subsidies to expire. It's that simple. We must protect healthcare access for all Americans. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Healthcare costs are about to skyrocket because of the current Republican bill. You know who will suffer the most? Working class Americans that rely on the Affordable Care Act. Senators should not let this pass. thehill.com/homenews/sen...

States should never have had to make these hard choices because the federal healthcare funding cuts should never have happened. www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

Congress should not pass a government funding extension without eliminating the cuts on healthcare. It’s that simple. abcnews.go.com/amp/Politics...

Another day, another rural hospital at risk of shutting down because of the budget bill. Congress can reverse these horrific impacts ahead of the September 30th funding deadline. Make it happen. www.wtoc.com/2025/08/18/l...

🚨 Major changes are coming to SNAP/CalFresh that will impact millions of families - and there's a lot of misinformation about how these programs actually work. Take a listen - this affects all of us: www.kqed.org/forum/201010...

When you come from rural America (as I did), you know how devastating this is. This isn’t the first, won’t be the last - unless we do something. calmatters.org/health/2025/...

Every state, Red or Blue, recognizes that people will be hurt. Arkansas is asking for waiver, Ohio and North Dakota didn’t want to say how many people will lose health care, and in Oklahoma churches are reaching out worried for their members. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

States are facing massive budget cuts because of the "big, beautiful bill." We knew this was coming, and now it's a reality for far too many. Health insurance cuts are coming next. Sound the alarm now. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Tariffs are actively harming America's economy. Job numbers are plummeting, costs are rising, and Americans are suffering. We do not have to accept this downward decline. Speak out. www.cnn.com/business/liv...

🚨 Major Medicaid/SNAP changes are coming with HR1. 3 strategies to minimize harm from Code for America: 1) Automate exemptions with existing data. 2) Start data sharing agreements now. 3) Build human-centered design from day one. Every improvement matters. #CivicTech

Government service delivery is at a critical juncture. But some paths can create harm. New Medicaid/SNAP work requirements could try and preserve benefits or create barriers. The difference? Human-centered design. Learn more in this talk with Federal News Network and our Code for America team.

The harm created by the administration cuts is a bipartisan concern --“the numbers are not adding up...” and “The needs far exceed what the resources are going to be...". We need every leader in every state to do speak out. alabamareflector.com/2025/08/27/t...

Shout out to Oregon for making it easy to file taxes! It should be easy for everyone everywhere! oregoncapitalchronicle.com/briefs/orego...

Keep speaking up. Keep speaking out. These cuts are coming, even if some don't want to admit it. We must keep the pressure on our leaders to reverse them. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/08/26/m...

🚨 We need to be sounding the alarms right now. Rural communities are bracing for massive cuts to healthcare access. People deserve easy access to hospitals and care. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

🚨 950,000+ San Joaquin Valley residents face SNAP benefit cuts. 22% of Valley population relies on CalFresh/food stamps. $365/month benefit already covers only 1/3 of healthy diet cost. New work requirements expand to ages 55-64. 22M families losing benefits. Food banks can't fill the gap.

The IRS already has a blueprint for success sitting on Treasury’s desk since May. The 2029+ modernization strategy and Direct File (with 95%+ user satisfaction) prove what works. No need to reinvent the wheel—just implement what taxpayers already love! federalnewsnetwork.com/management/2...
