218 members signed the discharge petition to force a vote to extend ACA tax credits.

If Speaker Johnson refuses to bring forth the vote, he’s telling the American people loud and clear that rising health care costs are acceptable to him.

Trump and Republicans claim they want to "protect children."

But they've rolled back child labor laws and environmental protections, blocked gun safety reform, and spread lies about vaccines that save children from deadly diseases.

Hello?

Anyone notice that Speaker Johnson subtly dismissed Congress today so that they won't be in session on Friday?

Hmmm, anything big set to happen on Friday that might upset people?

Since we can’t ever expect Mike Johnson to do the right thing, we’re forcing a vote on extending ACA tax credits. And we only need four more members to sign the petition to make it happen.

Help us move the needle!

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Bash asks Santos about his commutation, which voids his restitution sentence. "You were ordered by the court to pay $370,000 in restitution to the people you defrauded. Will you still pay that back?"

Santos: "If it's required of me by the law, yes. If it's not, then no."

It's not. And he knows it.

Ahead of Virginia's bellwether elections, Gov. Youngkin is hiding the scale & details of hundreds of millions of dollars in federal grants blocked by the Trump administration -- hiding the economic pain coming to Virginians instead of focusing on how to respond to it.

MAGA thought they elected Trump to save America, but instead he’s saving Argentina. $40 billion now going to Trump’s buddy Javier Milei, while Americans can’t afford groceries, gas, or basic healthcare.

Following Trump’s boo-filled appearance at the FIFA Club World Cup Final, it’s been reported that the winning team was given a replica trophy at the event. Why? Because Trump is keeping the original trophy—which cost roughly $230,000—for himself.
