Things you must not forget:
Some Democrats are really Republicans
Chuck Schumer can’t be trusted
Vought is the real president and sun ☀️ down Trump is his bitch.
Now work hard to make them all pay for their scorched earth politics and destruction.

These 8 Senators sold us out to Trump:
Hassan
King
Cortez-Masto
Shaheen
Kaine
Fetterman
Durbin
Rosen
Understand This Fact: Chuck Schumer is behind this. None of these 8 are up for reelection in 2026. Schumer asked them vote yes—they agreed. He's such a coward that he folded and won't even own it.

One party inflicts cruelty, the other pretends to listen—so they know how much suffering we will accept. Time to dispense the naivety. We have to fight both establishments. They are colluding against all of us.

Insurers are down because a one-year tax credit extension won't stabilize the ACA market.
Folks on the federal exchange have until December 15th to sign up. Next year passing credits at year-end does nothing to resolve uncertainty for setting 2027 rates.
A "Doc Fix' cadence won't work for insurance.

This agenda should be viral
My son is on the minimum wage and also works unpaid hours due to unreasonable expectations on what can be achieved in the hours he gets paid for. Reforms policies would increase poverty amongst young people. Poverty, especially at a young is strongly correlated with poor mental health and crime.
✂️ Reform will cut the minimum wage for younger workers.
💷 The Green Party will increase the minimum wage to £15 an hour, no matter how old you are.
