I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.
We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.
A vote for this bill is a mistake.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Elon Musk’s new pay package would feed all forty million Americans on SNAP for the next ten years. He wouldn’t notice the difference but the country would.

Private planes make up nearly 12% of all flights.
And yet even with major air traffic control safety concerns, the DOT is planning to exclude them from its plan to order 10% cut in flights at 40 major U.S. airports.
People who can afford to charter flights will be fine. Everyone else is screwed.

Abducted, with no warrant, her family couldn’t find her for hours.
She was later released with NO CHARGE.

But it's also weird they ask people if No Kings was violent, like it was a matter of opinion rather than fact that it wasn't. It's true some people think the earth is flat; it's not true that it might be flat as a result of those opinions.
