The Senate needs to hold the line for a government funding deal that protects healthcare and lowers costs. Not one that sells out the American people.

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.

The vote to reopen the government with no deal on health care is a brutal blow to all those who have stood together to save affordable health care for more than 20 million Americans.

We need a concrete plan in order to ensure the continuance of democracy. Truth and reconciliation trials. Finish reconstruction. Universal healthcare. Get rid of the billionaire class by taxing excess wealth. Get money out of elections. Increase the size of the Supreme Court and stop their bribery.

Trump’s aid cuts are killing far more Nigerian Christians than Islamic terrorists are. Independent monitors in Nigeria report 33 deaths this year in attacks against Christians (fewer than the 88 Muslims killed). But Trump cut off aid that helped save 270,000 lives a year in Nigeria. 270,000 > 33.

Cruelty really is the point. Who else would go to court begging for permission to starve their own citizens? Meanwhile, they send $40 billion to Argentina, buying two private jets for ICE “Barbie,” and Trump has already burned through $1 trillion in less than two months.
