Four Republicans joined Democrats to force the floor vote on the ACA subsidies extension.

Though it’ll be next month, after the subsidies expire, the vote must happen to expose which lawmakers really represent people.

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.

Forget about the nonsense stories like the Kennedy Center being renamed or whatever Bari Weiss is doing

At least 3,800 immigrant children were detained in 2025. Now, kids are not supposed to be kept more than 20 days

At least 1,300 of them have been held longer than 20 days-some for over 4 months

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

That's correct.
Just to be clear. It’s the John F Kennedy center legally.

Just like it’s still the department of defense

"They had done nothing wrong. They were not protesting. They were not chasing ICE vehicles. They were simply shopping."

Watch this.

Open your eyes to this brutality.

ICE beats up, drags & abducts this disabled visually impaired man.

Now share this.

Everyone must see the brutality of this administration & ask themselves what they are doing to push back.

You have power.

Even sharing this video exerts that power.

ICE is going after people who commit fewer crimes than U.S. born citizens. They're robbing people, hurting people, using racial profiling, violating due process, hurting children, and going after American citizens while they do. This is an illegal criminal enterprise from head to toe.

Disgusting but not surprising.
Another part of an unprecedented effort to overturn the will of the America people in 2020.
NYT: “In a newly obtained recording of a phone call from late 2020, President Trump can be heard pressing the speaker of the Georgia House of Representatives to hold a special legislative session to overturn Mr. Trump’s election loss.”
