Speaker Johnson sending the House home a day early ensures there is no vote on the ACA meaning healthcare premiums will now double for hundreds of thousands of Coloradans. Congress is truly broken when it takes vacation early rather than help Americans with unendurable costs.

ICYMI: Speaker Johnson is REFUSING to let the House vote on a bill to extend the ACA tax credits this month. People are buying health coverage NOW—January is TOO LATE. Republican Leaders won't do a thing to help families keep their health care.

No matter how much Speaker Johnson holds down the felon's fort and carries his water, you just know he will ultimately get thrown under the bus. Is he the only person in the world who doesn't know this?

Speaker Johnson is using the precious little time that we have left to kick even more Americans off of their coverage, block the bipartisan effort to extend tax credits so that working families can afford health insurance, and shove through a backdoor ban on abortion.

This has the votes to pass with bipartisan support, but Johnson is going to adjourn the House again to delay it as long as possible just like he did with Epstein.

House Republicans were on paid vacation for two months and couldn’t be bothered to come up with a real plan to stop costs from skyrocketing for 24 million Americans. Speaker Johnson won’t even hold a vote. Hard to escape the conclusion that they don’t care.

Income isn’t supposed to play a role in how much housing assistance FEMA gives families. But in some North Carolina counties, the highest-income homeowners received two to three times as much money after Hurricane Helene as those with lower incomes. With @theassemblync.bsky.social

It’s cute how maga podcasters always believe they’d do a better job than the career public servants with extensive education, training and experience who actually have those jobs. Right Dan Bongino?

Most FBI Deputy Directors spend years working through the ranks of the Bureau to reach that position. It’s the height of prestige. Bongino quit after less than a year to return to his life getting paid to spew conspiracy theories on his podcast in a T-shirt.

Retired Army Lt. Gen. Michael T. Flynn, who was once President Trump’s national security adviser, was hired as a consultant for the Bosnian Serb republic eight years after he admitted to secretly working to benefit the Turkish government.

President Donald Trump has added partisan and subjective plaques to a refashioned West Wing walkway he calls the Presidential Walk of Fame. The plaques include bombastic language, from “Sleepy Joe” Biden references to painting Republican icon Ronald Reagan as a fan of a young Trump.

www.nytimes.com/2025/12/17/u... Being unqualified, incompetent, and generally an absurd choice for a position is no barrier to working in this administration, but it does make it hard to actually do the job, and Bongino didn't like doing hard work. Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey

Time’s almost up, but Speaker Johnson has the power to stop this chaos and bring costs down for you and your families.

We have 218 signatures on the discharge petition to extend the ACA premium tax credits. But Speaker Johnson is refusing to bring the bill to the floor. Premiums are set to skyrocket on Jan. 1. The time to act is now.

Speaker Johnson slammed the gavel and ended a vote early on a discharge petition forcing action on extending ACA tax credits. Lawmakers were still trying to cast votes when Johnson cut it off, freezing the count, triggered boos, shouting, and chaos in the chamber. www.facebook.com/share/p/1GxN...

Americans are about to face thousands more in health care costs — or lose coverage altogether. Trump & Republicans created this crisis and are refusing to fix it. I voted NO on a GOP bill that raises costs and won’t extend ACA tax credits. Speaker Johnson must put an extension up for a vote — now.

Democrats succeeded in forcing a vote to stop ACA premium hikes. It’s time for Speaker Johnson to immediately bring this vote to the floor & protect healthcare for all Americans

How's Karoline Leavitt faring in the onslaught of questions about the Epstein files? "It's pretty clear he wants us to be aggressively offensive when it comes to this issue." www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

The Oscars will stream exclusively on YouTube, starting in 2029.

"All of a sudden, after Republicans got crushed in that election, Fox News is willing to talk about affordability. It is a crisis, and health insurance is the coming crisis. Johnson kept us out of session for 8 weeks, we could have been working day in and day out preparing for this upcoming crisis."

Speaker Johnson must bring this to the floor immediately. No more excuses.

A discharge petition to force a House floor vote to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits now has majority support in the House of Representatives. That means Speaker Johnson must allow a vote to protect Americans’ health care. Congress should not leave for the holidays without voting on this.

🚨 Despite Speaker Johnson's attempts to shut us down, House Democrats are forcing a vote on a 3-year extension of the ACA tax credits. Our communities can't wait any longer for healthcare costs to be addressed. Republicans need to bring this vote to the floor NOW.

A majority of the House supports a clean extension of the Affordable Care Act tax credits.   Instead of letting us vote on this TODAY, Republican leadership is pushing a backdoor abortion ban. That is unconscionable. Speaker Johnson, call a vote on the ACA tax credit extensions immediately.

It’s rare that commonsense rules the day in Washington — but today it did. As one of the first to sign, I’m grateful to my Republican colleagues who did the right thing and stood up for health care. But we’re not done yet — Speaker Johnson MUST get a vote on the floor ASAP.

No, Johnson did not lose control of the House. Trump lost control of the House.

UPDATE: We now have enough signatures to vote on extending Affordable Care Act tax credits and lower health care costs. Health care should be a human right, not a financial burden. Speaker Johnson must bring this legislation to the floor for a vote NOW.

🚨 BIG NEWS: Speaker Johnson has been forced by Democrats to bring a vote on extending Affordable Care Act subsidies. Now is the time to act and lower costs for the American people.

The former Justice Department special counsel told the House Judiciary Committee that his team developed "proof beyond a reasonable doubt" that Trump took part in a criminal scheme to overturn the 2020 election. n.pr/3N5wwln

With word of an impending departure has come speculation that Bongino is returning to podcasting, which reportedly made him worth $160 million. Bongino has stayed mostly mum as media reports teased a departure that could come “as soon as this week” or possibly “in the near future.”

Much like DOGE, grifter podcaster Bongino got a paycheck to decimate the FBI and now he is moving on. Who does he work for really? www.ms.now/news/bongino...

Bongino out! How long til Kash follows him? ⏰ 🎪

Interesting that Bongino is leaving the same day the Epstein files are supposed to be released, and 120 days after Bailey was appointed his co-deputy director.

As this piece notes, Bongino is reportedly retiring just as the Epstein materials will be released. www.ms.now/news/bongino...

This feels like the trailer for a low-rent psychological thriller

🚨NO national coverage🚨 🚨🚨🚨NO FEMA🚨🚨🚨 We are the “news,” so spread it and let’s see how we can help.

Rep. Deluzio: Members of this committee need to see exactly what happened and who was giving what kind of commands. Those who have seen the video have talked about the fact that a jarring and horrific. If it's being done in the name of the American people, the American people ought to see it.

Urgent update. Our bipartisan petition to force a vote on a straightforward extension of the Affordable Care Act tax credits now has 218 signatures. Mike Johnson should bring the bill to the floor immediately.

Massive defeat for Mike Johnson. Still has to clear the senate, but this is what Dems wanted all along. Johnson has essentially lost control of the gavel after Epstein and now this. Weakest speaker in history.

Sen. Chris Murphy said Hegseth + Rubio admitted to senators yesterday that no fentanyl is coming out of Venezuela -- despite Trump’s misleading efforts to tie the country to the deadly drug so he can justify bombing boats. The boats have cocaine, bound for Europe. www.huffpost.com/entry/chris-...

BREAKING: House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries’ discharge petition has reached 218 signatures, clearing the threshold needed to force a vote on a clean, three-year extension of Obamacare premium subsidies.

I'm genuinely about to start crying at this close up picture of Karoline Leavitt from Vanity Fair. this woman is 28 years old lmfao how are you going to believe in lip injections but not vaccines

WHO AMONG US hasn't sat down 11 times with a journalist and a tape recorder only to be shocked that they'd publish stuff we talked about?

AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social: It is the responsibility of Congress to declare and authorize the use of military force. Congress has not authorized a military use of force. There has not been a case made, and I think the absence of one really speaks volumes.
