I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.

We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.

A vote for this bill is a mistake.

Donald Trump just said he'll ask the Supreme Court to freeze SNAP payments AGAIN.

His message to the 42 million Americans who rely on SNAP? Eat dirt.

Attorney General Pam Bondi saying the quiet part out loud.

The President’s agenda?

Forcing millions of Americans to go hungry to give tax cuts to CEO billionaires.

I made this video 2 years ago. I had a lot of people tell me I was being dramatic. Now we know UNH are pushing nursing home to get residents to sign DNRs. I’m so glad people are waking up.

We should start by taking healthcare away from Republican members of Congress, since they feel it’s a “fake economy” anyway
Comer: "This is a fake economy. You can't have 1/3 of America receiving some type of free government healthcare and then have another 1/3 that's getting a subsidized rate. That falls on the final 1/3 that's having to pay increased premiums."

I have been actively watching contracts and surge funding over the last few days and what I would say to my friends in Baltimore is “be absolutely ready, right now.”

it’s very clear at this point that Republicans are being blamed for then shut down. doubling down to ruin Thanksgiving when you know you’re going to take the blame is unhinged politically.
TAPPER: Do you have any numerical idea of how many Americans will not be able to be with their families for Thanksgiving because of this?

DUFFY: I think the number is going to be substantial

The GOP claim that Democrats are responsible for the shutdown keeps being undermined by Trump, who is demanding they unilaterally end it by abolishing the filibuster. Trump says Republicans are being killed and he’s not wrong. They control the federal government.

For a man who genuinely understands (or at least has understood) how to work a camera and the importance of media presence, this is a distinctly shocking set of images.

As is the one of him just standing like (as one person put it) an idling NPC during the medical event in the Oval.
