Teresa, a mother of two living in Georgia, told reporters that her premiums increased 7 times over after Republicans gutted the Affordable Care Act. Now, her children have to help her pay the bills. "It was crushing" she says.

1/ 16 years ago today, the Affordable Care Act became the law of the land. However, in the last year alone, over 1 million Americans have lost access to their health care and millions more are facing a loss in coverage due to skyrocketing costs.

The day the Affordable Care Act passed was one of my proudest moments as president, because it meant that millions of Americans would have access to health care, some for the first time.

“We have plenty” but not for health care, I guess. Republicans cut a trillion dollars from health care last year and ended the premium tax credits for people who buy insurance on their own

Thought I was hearing things. This is tremendous. #marchmadness

Is everyone googling High Point University right now? #marchmadness

Sen. Cory Booker: The Senate should not be operating as business as usual. Because of the war—and because of the extreme crises we’re facing right now—millions and millions of Americans are going to lose health care due to the failure to extend the Obamacare subsidies.

So we’re still doing this to young athletes for a drug that does not enhance their performance and is legal to purchase and possess in your home in many states?

Why did Sean Duffy have [checks notes] NINE KIDS if he doesn’t like kids very much?

"My daughter's life depends on Medicaid," says P. P. and her family have legal immigration status, but she fears that the health insurance keeping her medically fragile daughter alive could also put her family at risk of being detained or deported by immigration authorities. #healthpolicy

"Her stepmother, Ashley Skjerva, told ABC News that Makayla was vaccinated against measles but, because she is immunocompromised, it left her at high risk for infection and serious complications."

Enough is enough. We just learned that some Republicans in DC are now pushing for even MORE cuts to health care. Endless money for war. Endless money for corporate tax cuts. No money for your health care.

NEW West Health-Gallup Poll: Americans are skipping meals and borrowing money to pay for medical expenses “It is impacting people every day in their decisions,” Tim Lash, president of the West Health Policy Center, said. “It is getting worse.” #healthpolicy #affordability

Nancy Pelosi always says -- show me your values, show me your budget. Newsweek: Trump’s Iran War Costs Compared to ACA Health Care Subsidies

For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were. These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War. Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35 Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42 Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39 Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20

I’m boycotting the State of the Union, but Becky Roberts will attend as my honorary guest. She’s one of 22 million Americans facing higher premiums after Trump and Republicans let ACA tax credits expire and cut Medicaid. I invited her so Trump must face the people hurt by his policies.

Never forget who Trump governs for.

Sen. Chris Murphy: This union is in crisis right now. Millions of Americans are losing their health care because the president has chosen corruption — padding the pockets of his billionaire friends instead of helping average Americans.

Sen. Ruben Gallego: Millions of Americans right now are without health care. The poorest people in our country are trying to figure out how to make ends meet and how to pay for that grocery bill — because Republicans needed an extra billion dollars for their billionaire friends.

A Trump health official turned industry analyst called Trump's drug deals "a win" for pharma and "a clearing event" — meaning the industry got off easy. Trump didn't fight Big Pharma. He caved.

Rep. Greg Casar: He's going to tell us that the state of the union is strong. Strong for who? Trump and his billionaire donors. The Epstein class certainly is going strong. Our union is not strong when millions of folks are seeing their health care premiums go 2x, 4x, 5x, 10x higher.

A "Golden Age" where your premiums doubled, tripled, even quadrupled. Where 750+ hospitals face closure. Where 15 million people are losing coverage. And where billionaires got $1.5 trillion richer. Golden for them. A disaster for you. #SOTU2026

If you ask our union how she’s doing:

“the president’s speech is going to be over two hours long!” they’re doing kalshi shit guys. they’re leaking a bunch of stuff about a super long speech and he’ll go about 2 minutes short of the supposed mark and everyone in the white house will make $200k on it

Meet my State of the Union guest, Jeremy Schumacher. Without ACA tax credits, his health insurance costs jumped 288%. An $11,000 increase. Trump sold out the American people to give billionaires another tax break.

Gallego: "They're going and racially profiling people and rounding up Americans until they can prove their citizenship. That money came from kicking millions and millions of Americans off Medicaid. It was the same bill. They cut Medicaid to expand ICE."

We already knew that TrumpRx is a scam, but a new report from the Joint Economic Committee found that families using the site could pay thousands of dollars more per year! Meanwhile, drug companies are raking in massive profits thanks to Trump and Republicans

Are the biathletes okay?!?! Because they have guns!

Every single person responsible for the horrors inflicted upon these children must be held accountable

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

If we don’t see a touchdown in the 3rd quarter, can Bad Bunny come back out for another song?

Do you like punts and field goals? Have I got the game for you!

Okay we made it to the Super Bowl. Can we stop with the football is just selling food commercials forever? Incredibly, they make two of our most charming actors completely insufferable.

I miss media literacy.

Help Tim’s friend it, lots of folks are giving a lot to help their neighbors knowing that they don’t have a lot.

this is so funny, god bless louise lucas, Hero of the Commonwealth

"In Minnesota, a community is coming together to push back against ICE and support their neighbors. It should surprise no one that much of this work is being led by women. Glamour reports from the front lines." www.glamour.com/story/the-wo... @glamour.com

TrumpRx is just the latest in a long line of Trump scams! He’s not actually doing anything to help people afford the cost of their care!

Why are they standing over there? Why was this event at 7 pm? Why can’t they understand basic math? They’re evil but they’re also just so weird…it’s exhausting.

Yes, immigration agents not only took Arnoldo's phone, the 10th grader had to use Find My Phone to locate it — in a vending machine for used electronics, close to an ICE detention center. Read the full story here: www.propublica.org/article/vide...

Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps

Not gonna shake the image of a little girl, maybe 6, in agony after a full blast of gas

NEW: School hallways are silent. Grandparents patrol outside in shifts. Two more kids taken from Liam Ramos' school. Trump isn't deescalating ICE at all at MN schools. “I stopped wearing my high heels to work. I wear my boots to work because I have had to run." www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-mi...

the feds saying theyll end their campaign of terror against an american city if their demands are met is the biggest domestic scandal of my lifetime

Every single person responsible for this deserves not a moment of peace for the rest of their lives
