It’s one more day he laughs at Democrats cause he knows they won’t stand up to the bullying
Why is Trump going after America's air traffic controllers, today of all days?

It's one more way to distract from his decision to increase your health insurance premiums."

He means Rick Scott will redirect him to HIS HSA account
Rick Scott told me his plan would be to take all of the remaining ACA subsidies and redistribute them to HSA accounts and people can then buy whatever insurance a state certifies. Basically a repeal/replace.
He denied when I asked wouldn’t that create two-tiered system where sick pay much more…

We know #Democrats can’t read the room and it’s clear how voters feel when a republican gets booed off stage in the deepest redest part of Iowa.

Where are we at?

The order that USDA pay out full SNAP benefits for November is still on hold, but the appeals court denied DOJ’s request for a more extended stay.

As such, that triggers the 48-hour clock Justice Jackson set, at the end of which her administrative stay ends.

BREAKING: The First Circuit denies DOJ’s stay request in the SNAP case, refusing to stay the Nov. 6 enforcement order.

Justice Jackson’s 48-hour clock started just before midnight Sunday, meaning the administrative stay she issued Friday ends at the end of the day Tuesday.

The arrogance of a Senator who is not even running again to take the lead in undermining the Caucus and the voters.
Shaheen: So let me be clear. No one in the senate chamber wants to extend the ACA tax credits more than I do.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

We...desperately need more low-income people in Congress who know what it's like to navigate health insurance problems. But we live in an ableist society where it's hard for younger disabled and chronically ill politicians to get elected.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.
