Trump wants a third term. Cute.
Well guess what—if he’s running for a third term, we’re running Barack to the Future. Hope 2.0, baby. Strap in, Donnie — the DeLorean runs on truth and justice, not gaslighting and grift. ⚡🇺🇸

Republicans demand tougher abortion restrictions to extend Obamacare funds
Democrats say that’s a nonstarter, arguing there are already limits on abortion access. The dispute could torpedo a deal, leading to higher health insurance premiums for millions.

Did @democrats.senate.gov forget that there was another chamber? Did they not secure a guaranteed debate and vote in the house as well? Unless this is some chess game for 2026 midterms, it’s a failure on all fronts.

#SCOTUS will not review the Same-Sex marriage decision. Justices are not immune to political pressure. SCOTUS may believe they have the power to check the president and uphold precedent.

Supreme Court won’t hear challenge to landmark gay marriage ruling
The announcement indicates there is not an appetite among the high court’s conservative majority to revisit one of the court’s most significant decisions in recent years.

I am angry at the Democrats, but this is what the American people voted for. A President and a political party that would restrict benefits. This is what they chose. An estimated 16 million people are projected to be uninsured by 2034 due to the OBBBA. #shutdown #democrats The people will suffer.
