Now the results are in:

✅ Jobs are being lost
✅ Life is getting even more expensive
You can thank Republicans for this mess.

In two weeks, Ariya will lose her health insurance unless Congress acts.
Sadly, Speaker Johnson sent the House home until NEXT YEAR, which is after the deadline to extend the ACA tax credits, the same ones that Ariya relies on.
I refuse to let this happen.

It's gross.
