When the ACA isn’t getting the job done to realize Americans getting increased access to quality, affordable health care, that is the direct result of Republicans trying to hobble it wherever they can. But they HAVE NO ALTERNATIVE. Because REPUBLICANS DO NOT CARE IF YOU HAVE ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE.

What a great long-term recruiting pitch: come do this high-stress job, you may have to work for free at some point — and if you try to feed your family with a side gig, you’ll be punished. 🤡

Between tariffs and his ethnic cleansing, Trump is destroying the backbone industries of America.
The construction industry, where more than a quarter of workers are foreign-born, has long struggled to find enough workers. Now, industry officials say Trump's immigration crackdown is making it worse.

That’s less than we gave the Austin Powers wannabe in Argentina.
The fight tonight was over about $25 billion. Thats about 2.5% of the Defense budget. Would cover a year of the enhanced ACA credits. Republicans said that’s unaffordable.

OMG OMG. I think Lawrence O’Donnell has just convinced me that I was wrong in my views of Chuck Schumer and of the resolution of the shutdown.
It's very hard, probably impossible, to understand what is going on when so much of it is hidden behind closed doors. That is a situation I can't abide.
