The ACA subsidies need to stay. Until a better process is in place, how can critical health care be ignored.
Wow this woman from Maine is on ACA & she’s at the office of her Rep.Angus King letting him know that she may lose her life & its because he refused to fight for her & millions of Americans when he gave in to the Republican Party & Trump! Her new premium will be $49,000 dollars!

@maxwellfrost.bsky.social is 💯 right. While MAGA is falling apart, the leftovers are dangerously faithful to Trump, and they will see his murder-laden posts as a call to action. Rhetoric that inspires violence must be challenged by republicans.

Today’s vote on the Epstein Transparency Act matters, but remember that Donald Trump could release the full Epstein Files today.
@oversightdemocrats.house.gov issued a subpoena in July. Trump’s DOJ is still resisting.
