House Republicans refused to even allow a vote to stop ACA premium spikes. So a discharge petition just hit 218 and will force a House vote on a clean, 3-year extension of ACA tax credits.
Families shouldn’t pay more because Mike Johnson wants to play games with health care.

Calling for the expulsion and persecution of Muslims is vile, dangerous Islamophobia. New York City rejects Vickie Paladino’s hatred and stands with our Muslim neighbors. This has no place in our City Council and must be answered with censure.
