Virginia’s 2026 ACA marketplace window shopping is underway, meaning people are already seeing next year’s premiums spike because of expiring tax credit enhancements. A typical 60-year-old couple making $85,000 in Virginia will face a $18,000 increase in annual premiums. (1/4)
Republicans created a health care crisis. If they allow the Affordable Care Act tax credits to expire, it would be the largest single-year price hike in history. Virginians cannot afford this.
Republicans have an ongoing campaign to dismantle Social Security and Medicare, oppose universal health care coverage, and support diverting funding from public education. This resolution only furthers that campaign.
Before lawmakers rushed to the airport for a Thanksgiving break, the House passed a GOP resolution 'denouncing the horrors of socialism.' The House also passed that in 2023.

We must all condemn calls for political violence.
Trump is calling for the six Democratic lawmakers who urged the military not to follow any illegal orders to be arrested, and he’s reposting replies saying they should be hanged and calling them terrorists.

This is part of Trump's agenda to reduce civil rights enforcement and support for low-income communities.
While I am certain this will be challenged in court, I am upset about the harm this will cause students who will be caught up in this Administration’s war on education.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order in March seeking to close the department, but only Congress has the power to do that.

Premiums for people who get their insurance through Healthcare.gov are rising about 30% on average. Without the enhanced subsidies, many could pay far more than that.
