Really looking forward to creating my own “Staying Alive” Startup 🙄
“It’s so good .. They’re gonna feel like entrepreneurs” is a line that will live on.
The Affordable Care Act created a marketplace where consumers could use subsidies to help purchase private-sector plans. Trump’s concept of a plan involves no such marketplace, plunging consumers into a state of nature.

King: So I believe that we are closer tonight to a vote on the ACA tax credits than we were this morning. This agreement tonight is a win for the American people.

I will not support this bill that completely fails to help Americans afford their health care.
Trump and R’s have more than doubled Americans’ health care premiums, and for 40 days they have refused to lift a finger to do a thing about it. In fact, they’ve made it worse by taking food from kids.

FWIW, this deal isn’t finalized yet.
If you want Democrats to keep fighting, call your Senator.
The vote to advance the bill will likely succeed, but all that does is tee up a final up/down vote.

One of the talking points I keep seeing from Democrats is that part of the deal is that it will "ensure federal workers receive back pay" but that's the existing law!
That's not something you've won in negotiations. That's just the letter of the law. You don't get to claim that as a win.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Something I've wanted more of for a long time are "Easterns" - movies set in the 1860s-1890s but in the Eastern United States. We have like 50,000 Western movies and 3 Eastern movies. It's a great and fascinating time period in America!

SNAP has existed for 60 years. Benefits have gone out every single month over those six decades, including during government shutdowns. Until now.
Make no mistake: The money is available to fund SNAP during this shutdown. Trump is making a choice to withhold it.
Don’t forget this.
