Open enrollment for ACA healthcare plans has started, and enrollees are seeing what their premium costs will be next year.

Without subsidies, one couple will see their monthly costs increase from $495 to $2,168 — a 300% increase.

This is what Democrats are fighting to prevent.

He really is the biggest phony. But to be honest, it really takes the biggest phony to survive as Speaker of this House GOP. Anyone with any real principles would be in an impossible position.
I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

TODAY WE MOBILIZED OVER 3 MILLION PEOPLE ACROSS THE NATION!!!

This movement has entered the next chapter: the people will mobilize again, and again, until we make a difference.

It only takes 3.5% of the population in a sustained resistance in order to make a difference.

Upset about your 401k? Concerned about your small business shuttering under the tariffs? Angry that your hobby may become too expensive? Terrified that if Trump can disappear Abrego-Garcia he can disappear anyone?

Go to your nearest #HandsOff rally today. Peaceful protest is our right.
1/ The number of protests planned for tomorrow is enormous. Given what Trump has done to the economy, and everyone's collective ability to pay for household expenses/retirement I'd expect them to be huge. Find out more at handsoff2025.com

Booker: Strom Thurmond’s record always kind of just really irked me. That the longest speech on our great Senate floor was from someone who was trying to stop people like me from being in the Senate. So to surpass that became more important to me.

The more I see of Ossoff the more I like Ossoff.

And here’s a little local knowledge: his office actually works really hard to deliver constituent services. It isn’t just TV grandstanding with him.
OSSOFF: Director Ratcliffe, this was a huge mistake, correct?

RATLIFFE: No
