A long-nosed Southern Tamandua enjoying a meal.
Tamanduas (also called collared anteaters) are found in Central and South America.
They do not have teeth and instead, use their long tongues to eat up to 35,000 ants and termites daily in the wild.

This has the votes to pass with bipartisan support, but Johnson is going to adjourn the House again to delay it as long as possible just like he did with Epstein.

If the House passes a 3 year extension of the ACA tax credits - which they now have the votes to do - then @LeaderJohnThune has to call it up for a vote in the Senate.
GOP leaders have tried as hard as they can to hurt families, but the dam is breaking. Let's get this done.

The bipartisan petition to force a vote on extending the Affordable Care Act tax credits now has enough signatures.
Mike Johnson must bring this to the House floor immediately. Congress should not leave for a holiday break until we vote to protect healthcare for 25 million Americans.

House Republicans have killed amendments to their “healthcare bill” that would have extended the ACA premium tax credits. The vote will go on tomorrow with no help for subsidy recipients.
This was a Republican choice. An absolutely unforced error. Lives will be lost because of it. Never forget it.

I’ll be voting to prevent health insurance premiums from more than doubling for millions of Americans. Every Republican senator should do the same.
