Repealing the ACA doesn’t “free” Americans—it frees insurers to deny people care, hike their rates, and cap their life’s worth. Obamacare is a guardrail against corporate cruelty. Tear it down, and they’ll sell your health back to you at auction. #ProtectTheACA #HealthcareIsAHumanRight

Trump confessed what authoritarians usually whisper: if democracy won’t serve him, he’ll strangle it. His “rigging" the 2026 midterms fantasy isn’t strategy—it’s an obituary for the rule of law. The real test isn’t Trump’s madness, but whether America still remembers what sanity costs.

Dems finally smell blood—and conscience. The shutdown isn’t just a standoff; it’s a moral test. Every centrist whispering “compromise” is feeding Trump’s addiction to chaos. This is the moment to fight, not flinch. History remembers those who stood when others knelt. #NoDealWithDecay #StandAndFight
Inside a tense, three-hour meeting at the Capitol on Tuesday, a fiery Senator Bernie Sanders urged Democrats not to yield to Republicans without a real victory on health care. He was armed with fresh polling that showed voters would punish the party for giving up with nothing in return.

After rubber-stamping Trump's authoritarianism, Roberts & Gorsuch suddenly find their pocket Constitutions over tariffs. This selective "separation of powers" is a partisan joke, designed only to manage their political project, not defend democracy.
