BREAKING: The Congressional Budget Office reports that 2.2 million more Americans will become uninsured and premiums will spike by 4.3% in 2026 if Republicans allow the Affordable Care Act subsidies to expire.
The suffering would be incalculable.

Don't say we didn't warn you, folks: Republicans are saying "everything is on the table" for cuts, and Fox News clarifies: "...and that includes Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid."
🚨There should be bipartisan OUTRAGE at this.

I picked Scaramucci's brain yesterday. You likely won't agree with some things, but that's why I had him on; so you can see that even though there might be areas of difference, you can find alignment on some matters that are important to you. I know did.
