Here’s the thing about healthcare premiums about to skyrocket: they will never come back down, short of a complete overhaul of our system for universal healthcare. Which clearly won’t happen bc of all the money tied up between health and politics.

I concur!
listen, we've all had a lot of fun today learning that we truly are ruled by a pedophiliac cabal that permeates every level of big business and government, but also let's not take our eye off the fact that the senate Dems completely betrayed their base and must be primaried until they're all gone

Listen Kaine, Hassan, King, Cortez-Masto, Durbin, Shaheen, Rosen, and Fetterman. You're NOT gonna take away my 2025 election joy. We voted in that election for folks to FIGHT for us. That doesn't include YOU.
YOU are what we voted AGAINST last Tuesday. So I'm gonna hang on to that.

The inevitable truth is that virtually EVERY politician in DC cares A LOT more about their wealthy donors/lobbyists than they do about the American people.
We only serve one purpose for them: To vote for them so that they can keep their positions of power, wealth and influence.

It’d be a MISTAKE of colossal proportions for Democrats to accept ANY deal that doesn’t extend the ACA subsidies.
It would just confirm what too many people already believe about us: that we don’t have the backbone to fight and deliver.
