The American people cannot pay their premiums with promises.
The Republicans have had TEN MONTHS to extend the insurance tax credits that tens of millions rely on. They’ve done nothing. Why would this time be any different?
It’s either in the bill or it isn’t getting my vote.

BREAKING: Senators reach a tentative deal to end the government shutdown which, if passed, will take days to reach Trump’s desk to become law.
Senators reach tentative deal to end the government shutdown
The deal, negotiated by a group of Democrats and GOP leaders, funds the government through Jan. 30. If it passes, it will still need to clear the House, which will likely take days.

I didn't know 'America First' meant sending our kids to die for oil in another foreign war.
President Trump's strikes in the Caribbean & his impending war in Venezuela are illegal without a vote by Congress. We the People deserve a say in if our kids get sent to die in a repeat of the Iraq War.

Despite a court order, the Trump admin is dragging its feet on paying people the SNAP benefits they need.
Meanwhile they're buying Kristi Noem 2 new jets, bailing out Argentina, & building a ballroom.
They have the money.
They just don't want working people to have dignity.

President Trump is refusing to use available funds to backfill the SNAP program & keep assistance going to millions of hungry children, seniors, & single parents.
President Trump is using our most vulnerable neighbors as collateral. It's sick & it must end.

Doing the same thing over & over while expecting a different result is the definition of insanity.
Republicans have been in charge for 10 months, & they've done nothing to address the rising costs of health care.
At this point their words & empty promises mean nothing to me, I need to see action.

We are on a dangerous path in America. A panel of Ninth Circuit judges has chosen to not hold the president accountable: they just granted the federal government’s motion to stay our first TRO, which prevented the president from deploying Oregon National Guard troops in Oregon.

Republicans cut Medicaid by $1 trillion in their budget bill. Now they want to let ACA subsidies expire for 24 million Americans.
The impending Republican health care crisis is going to hit us all, that's why Republicans must come back to the table to help us fix the mess they've created.

Report Potential Wrongdoing Under the Trump Administration
Whistleblowers play a vital role in helping Congress conduct our constitutionally mandated oversight responsibilities. If you have knowledge of corporate or government corruption and abuses of power; insights into the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein and his associates; or information regarding potential wrongdoing or waste, fraud, and abuse of taxpayer dollars, your disclosure can make a difference.

House Republicans are now using the shutdown that THEY STARTED to justify not swearing in a duly elected Democratic Representative.
Why?
Maybe because she'll be the final signature we need to release Epstein files.

Today is #LatinaEqualPayDay, the day when Latina pay catches up to what White men made last year alone.
That’s $0.54 to $1.
A union contract is how we start to close the wage gap so Latina women get the equal pay, dignity and respect they deserve.

🚨🚨The House reading clerk just read a letter from House Speaker Mike Johnson where he declares a 'District Work Period' from October 7 to October 13.
That would mean no votes in the House until mid-month.

President Trump is doubling down because he wants to see how far he can take this illegal militarization.
This is just the next boundary he is hoping to cross without pushback.
Now is the time to speak up so this doesn’t end in every major American city under military occupation.

1) This is incredibly racist.
2) He is referring to EMTALA, a Reagan-era law that requires a hospital to provide life-saving care, regardless of your ability to pay.
3) Does VP Vance prefer we just let stroke victims die in our waiting rooms because they can’t speak & verify their status?

Vance: "If you're an American citizen & you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed wait times are especially large & very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"
