So Mike Johnson won't commit on bringing up the healthcare subsidies if they're brought up.

Got it. Do you hear it now? All this for nothing!

In the most predictable development ever, Mike Johnson is not committing to hold a House vote on ACA subsidies

Gutted by the Dems caving after the blue-wave wins of last week? Sick & tired of us snatching defeat from the jaws of victory? I hear you! Might I suggest you calm yourself, relax, take a deep, cleansing breath... then see if this photo of 2 pandas cuddling is of any help.

From street marches to court battles to the ballot box - we’ve challenged the power of this exceptionally unpopular president.

The lesson from each success we've had is that we need to ramp the political pressure up, always up, not back down, now more than ever.

Jeanne Shaheen was in the senate during negotiations for the ACA. She saw how Republicans cut the meat out of the ACA only to still not vote for it. Did the Republican Party suddenly change to start giving a damn about the health and wellbeing of their constituents?!

Hell No!
Shaheen: "We've heard from a number of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle that they're willing to come to the table, they're willing to work with us once the govt is open to get this done. We've heard the same thing from the White House. So now we'll see if they're really gonna work w/us"

If 6 Republican Senators conspired with Ginny Thomas and the Proud Boys to plan and incite the Jan6 insurrection against a lawfully elected government, that needs to be brought out.

When the Senators sue, George Conway should file an amicus brief for discovery.

Chiuck Schumer:

OR

couldn’t unify democratic senators for one of the most consequential votes of our time.

Either scenario warrants Chuck Schumer’s replacement as Senate minority leader.

Trump is using the gov shutdown to pump up his illegal moves to shutter DOE. He’s shriveling agencies for civil rights, special ed, K-12, tribal colleges and HBCUs. He’s cutting staff, ending grant programs, cancelling contracts and moving the gutted functions to other federal agencies.

“You don’t just flip a switch…” —Mike Johnson

It took them less than six months to pass a budget bill that gave billionaires permanent tax breaks and stripped away nearly $1T in Medicaid from Americans and ACA susbsidies.

Also notable — Trump starting issuing tariffs 10 days after being sworn in.
Mike Johnson: "That's the reason the inflation is up, the cost of living is up so high -- because of the policies of the previous administration. Now, we're working to root those policies out and implement our own, but it takes a little time."
