It was “NO” yesterday.
It’s “NO” today.
And it’ll be “NO” when it gets to the House.
I’m not voting for something that forces millions of Americans to choose between seeing a doctor and putting food on their table.

“Negotiating your own insurance” will result in everyone getting the dirt-cheapest junk plan which covers virtually nothing, because most people are terrible at risk assessment.
Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"

The ACA wasn't even the compromise. The public option was the Republican alternative/compromise to single payer. The ACA was already a far right plan
How do so many democrats still not understand that the ACA *was* the compromise.

This is Trump / Cassidy plan — and the appropriate response from Democrats is “you’re goddamn right we hate insurance companies, that’s why we’re introducing Medicare For All and calling on Trump to back this plan to destroy the insurance corporations that delay and deny your family’s healthcare”
"A development that appeared to break the logjam: Republicans proposed that healthcare funding be provided directly to households rather than used to pay for a 1-year extension of ACA subsidies. That involves sending federal money into FSAs instead of insurance companies" www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
Republicans Pitch Alternative to ACA Extension to End Government Shutdown
A proposal by GOP senators to send money directly to consumers’ health accounts rather than to insurance companies showed signs of breaking a stalemate on negotiations.

If Texas ever flips, Republicans will suddenly find the electoral college to be an antiquated, unfair, unnecessary institution.
I know Texas gets dunked on a lot but I genuinely feel like people here are some of the hardest fighters despite everything against us, we deal with some of the worst gerrymandering and vote suppression because republicans know they’re fucked as soon as this state flips.

Flirting with a light freeze tonight, and there are plants in the kitchen garden we want to save for a few more weeks. So I improvised this cover from old tarps, 1x10s, and twine. Thanks to BSA for the old lashing skills, and my kids for the "hold this while I tie it" help.

No reporter who was in the press pool for Biden and Trump 2 and went hysterical about Biden's health but remains silent about Trump's should ever get to work with another Dem.
We should champion journalism but that doesn't mean we have to work with bad faith actors who help the GOP win.
