I've got a novel idea for President Trump: instead of giving Americans Greenland, how about giving them health care?

"I work so hard to keep two people with disabilities alive, and I can't afford insurance myself." Mrs. Rena Bumbray-Graves testifies as one of millions of Americans who are losing their care because Republicans refuse to extend Affordable Care Act tax credits. @seiuva512.bsky.social @seiu.org

Rena Bumbray-Graves cares for others every day. Because Republicans let the ACA tax credits expire, she’s now losing her own health care—along with millions of Americans. I asked her what this crisis means for her family. @seiuva512.bsky.social @seiu.org

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

I’ve been thinking about this all week. It’s just so cruel. www.propublica.org/article/nort...

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

Of all the fake wars conservatives are fighting, the War On Protein has to be the dumbest. Congrats everyone, but especially to the beef lobby!

Last six days - Venezuela strike, Maduro seized - Trump warns Cuba, Colombia - RFK Jr changes vaccine schedule - Walz ends re-election bid - Jan 6 anniversary - Greenland threats spark diplomatic crisis - Minnesota ICE shooting - House passes ACA subsidy bill - Iran protesters

This bill just passed the House and has majority, bipartisan support in the Senate. John Thune is currently the one person standing in the way of millions of Americans getting relief from skyrocketing health care premiums.

It’s easy to think that schools in Minneapolis are closed because the Feds murdered someone in the street but no, the actual reason is that while that was happening, the Feds were busy doing other heinous shit across the city like tear-gassing a school

One of the wealthiest members of Congress telling Americans they don’t need insurance

He continues to talk about IVF in the creepiest way possible! WTF!

Genuinely WTF. I am not over this. The ball was cursed.

We live in the richest country in the world. It doesn’t have to be like this.

"I'm just going to have to cut back on whatever else I can," she added. "It's just insane. What's going to happen in the next couple of years? Is it going to continue to go up?" https://www.cbsnews.com/news/aca-subsidies-obamacare-health-insurance-affordable-care-act/

Rep. Aguilar: Democrats’ number one focus is ensuring that people are healthy and safe, for them and their families. We want to avoid these increases that the American people are facing at the hands of Republican inaction.

Yeah, totally. I hear that, like, all the time. From friends, family, at the soccer field, at the hair salon. It’s definitely a thing that all people are saying. For sure.

the December 15th deadline on healthcare dot gov was about to hit and Phil plugged in "10 children" and his eyes bugged out

The RFK, jr effect.

Is that bad?

GOP made this health care crisis and they did nothing to fix it. After months of chaos and uncertainty, they voted to rip tax credits away and make coverage unaffordable for millions of hard-working Americans.

“We wasted so much time,” one conservative Republican said, also lamenting the lack of a unified GOP plan with just seven session days left in the year. Step 1: Create health care crisis Step 2: Ignore crisis Step 3: ???? Step 4: Profit

Fifth-generation Iowa farmer: The Affordable Care Act has been one of the best investments in rural health care in decades for farming families, entrepreneurs, and employees at small businesses who don't offer health insurance.

What a joke. Millions of Americans will see their premiums double or triple starting Jan 1st. The deadline to sign up for coverage is Dec. 15th. The GOP caused this crisis and now we’re down to the wire and they’re wasting time with their unserious plans. Extend the tax credits!

Priorities ✅

Ossoff: "She's gonna have to give up her insurance in the middle of chemotherapy while she's fighting breast cancer. What are people supposed to do when they lose health insurance in the middle of a cancer battle? ... this is life or death"

When you're more concerned with your career than the health of the people you serve.

Ossoff: "This is so much deeper than the politics. What does it say about the moral condition of this Congress that the thing that has them all tied up in knots is a very simple question: Should people's health insurance premiums go up double or triple? This is a policy choice."

Let’s goooooo!

My constituent traveled to DC from Pittsburgh to share how the Republican-manufactured healthcare crisis and increased premiums will harm her as a small business owner. I'm grateful to Tori for coming to share her story, because we know thousands of others in Western PA face the same challenges.

republicans who think you have a safe seat: no you don’t

Paging Dr. Cassidy…

KEEP SHARING YOUR STORIES about increased ACA premiums due to the disappearance of subsidies. The stories clearly are having an impact, they help people feel less helpless, and they create solidarity that leads to action. Mine went from $395→ $821. What happened for you?

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi. I hired and worked with Jamal for a year. www.washingtonpost.com/world/nation...

The ACA did 3 big things in the insurance market: 1. Guaranteed access irrespective of pre-existing conditions. 2. Required benefits like maternity and mental health, and prohibited lifetime and annual limits. 3. Provided tax credits to help people afford insurance.

WATCH — @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : “My amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years… a far better use of taxpayer dollars.” Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?

⚠️ MUST WATCH: Iowans boo Republican Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks as she defends cuts that will take Medicaid from thousands of Iowa families. The room turns fast.

They're going to the highest court in the land to avoid feeding children.

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc
