80% (!) of the ACA subsidies that are about to expire go to people in states that Trump won in 2024.
Time and time again, Trump and MAGA Republicans will sell out their own voters — all to fund massive tax cuts for the super rich.

What a pathetic lie, JD. Nobody’s arguing for benefits for people who are undocumented.
But now that we’ve cleared that up, are you saying you WILL support continued ACA health care tax credits for millions of U.S. CITIZENS?
That’s what we’re fighting for!

An interesting point raised elsewhere: these boats that the United States is striking don't appear to have the fuel capacity/storage capacity to even reach American shores.

This is due to a law signed by Ronald Reagan and has nothing to do with this shutdown fight.
But consider this...
Emergency Medicaid spending in 2023 cost $3.8 billion — just 0.4% of total Medicaid spending.
Now what about the $20 billion taxpayers are giving to Argentina?

We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.

The murders of Charlie Kirk and Minnesota state representative Melissa Hortman are part of a dangerous rise in political violence.
We cannot accept this as the norm.
We must do whatever we can to reduce the anger and hate that are consuming and destroying so much of the country.
