WATCH — @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : “My amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years… a far better use of taxpayer dollars.”

Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?

Senate Dems, do not cave. Ensuring healthcare premiums don’t surge is an 80-20 issue. They want to gut the ACA because their disdain for Obama far outweighs their concern for anyone’s health.

They never learn.
Here’s the lesson the Democratic Party better learn from Mamdani’s campaign.

I receive $1500.00 from the government before my rent is paid. Rent is 582.00 a month on disability. Food is anywhere from 100-150 per week, phone bill is 50.00. Laundry is $30 per week. If I am unable to work one month, I will have 318.00 left to survive on. Raise disability rates now!

They saw this as a giveaway to welfare queens, not as something that could boost the economy as a whole. Their whole attitude is "progress for me, but not for we."

Progressives and leftists ain’t shit, and vote suppressed the Democratic Party at every turn. Elizabeth and Eric included. Kamala Harris did that and you 🤡’s left ballots blank. Helped uncommitted voters platforms including Mamdani’s flourish.
