There's a lot of "these bills suck" posts.

Every single one of these North Carolina politicians voted to shut down the federal government rather than allow the Affordable Care Act to continue operating, which will result in a doubling of everyone's health insurance premiums.

Of course, their healthcare will remain unaffected.

What a day.
NC Republicans overrode eight bills Gov. Josh Stein vetoed, including bills removing climate protections and allowing private school teachers to bring guns to school.

They were able to pass these bills because in each case at least one Democrat voted with them. 👇

Chris Murphy has this right. People are going to die. It IS a horror. People who voted for this should not be in PUBLIC SERVICE.😡
Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie.

One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears.

They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.

This bill SUCKS. And that's an understatement. Trump berated Senator Tillis (NC) & said he would be meeting potential primary challenges as he was “looking for someone who will properly represent the Great People of North Carolina.” #savemedicaid shttps://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c15wn34z0z4o

A group of voters in North Carolina, and a coalition of voting and civil rights orgs seek to intervene in a federal lawsuit that wrongly challenges the eligibility of more than 200,000 voters in North Carolina. The Brennan Center is representing them in their fight.  Read:

“North Carolina U.S. Senator Thom Tillis announcing Medicare is now on the chopping block”

Thom Tillis called for cuts to Medicare, after suggesting the GOP plan to kick millions of people off Medicaid doesn’t go far *enough.*
