Medicare 4 all.

Why should we pay all that money to insurance companies who deny us coverage and make medical decisions based on company profits? We pay more for less.

“If Schumer really wanted to use his considerable influence and leverage to stop this, he could have done that,” a senior Democratic Senate aide tells Zeteo. “He didn’t.”
Furious Liberals Call for Schumer to Step Aside, Senate Dems Mostly Quiet

Wow — Casada wasn’t the only Tennessee Republican getting a Trump pardon. @RepHarshbarger got him to pardon her health care fraud husband too.

Kelsey, Casada, Harshbarger… Tennessee Republicans working those pardons hard.

The law no longer applies to them in the Trump era.

Rep. @rokhanna.bsky.social to Kanew: “We need MEDICARE FOR ALL. The time has come.”

Dems are fighting to make a broken system less system less bad, but the real answer is universal health care and standing up to billionaires and the big insurance lobby.

Since January, Trump's Treasury has quietly gutted enforcement of the corporate alternative minimum tax — a huge boon for big business and wealthy investors.

Meanwhile, he's led an all-out assault on Medicaid, SNAP, and other programs that help the poor.

Reverse Robin Hood.

Momentum builds for new leadership!
Now is the time to fight, not surrender. 🗣️

Schumer must step down from his post as minority leader and allow for new leadership to emerge—someone who is willing to consistently fight for the American people.
Progressive group MoveOn calls on Schumer to step aside
"Inexplicably, some Senate Democrats, under Leader Schumer's watch, decided to surrender."

It’s wild how MAGA falls in love with people like nepo baby developer Bill Pulte, who was born on 3rd base and thinks he hit a triple, because he investigated Schiff, then he rolls out a plan for a lifetime of debt slavery with 50-year mortgages and they are somehow surprised.
