I've been raising the alarm about the expiring tax credits for nearly 2 YEARS. Republicans have had all the time in the world to fix their MAGA health care hike. There is no later anymore. Republicans already pushed us over the ACA tax credit cliff. The time to fix this is NOW.
Republicans sent TRILLIONS of your taxpayer dollars straight to the pockets of billionaires earlier this year. But now they've caused the longest shutdown in history because they want to let health care costs explode for average Americans.
President Trump is blocking 1.2 million veterans from getting the SNAP benefits they need so they don’t go hungry. It's disgraceful—and we all need to speak out to make this administration get out the SNAP benefits people need and rely on.
I have never seen an American President so desperate to force children and seniors to go hungry. Donald Trump is appealing a federal court's order requiring him to pay the full SNAP benefits for this month. This is as ugly and cruel as it gets.
My nana hat won't let me say what I'm really thinking, but here's what you miserable crooks need to hear: Get serious. Negotiate with Democrats. Reopen the government. Pay federal workers. Save health care.
Pretty big “error” to make, especially after Donald Trump outright said he would defy a court order and refuse to pay these benefits. The crooks in the Trump administration are blocking SNAP benefits for kids, seniors, and veterans every way they can. It’s sick.
Massive health care cuts. Catastrophic tariffs raising the prices of everything. A weaker economy and tougher job market for American workers. This is unleashing the Golden Age?
🚨 CNBC: "Announced corporate job cuts surging past 1 million so far this year, with 153,000 new layoffs just in October according to Challenger. That is the worst October since 2003."
Federal workers—including furloughed workers—are entitled to backpay after the shutdown ends. That is the LAW. Trump and his administration of crooks saying anything otherwise are LYING to try and scare and intimidate federal workers.
Today marks the longest government shutdown in history.   Republicans need to understand EVERYONE is being hurt because of the shutdown they've caused.   And we need to work together to lower health care costs for ALL Americans NOW!
We all need to keep up the pressure and demand that Trump follows the law and gets SNAP benefits to the millions of families and kids that are counting on them to put food on the table.
Everyone can see there's no strategy behind Trump’s tariffs—and every American is being forced to pay the price. I hope SCOTUS recognizes the shoddy legal ground these tariffs stand on and rules accordingly, but either way, Republicans should help Democrats end Trump’s tariffs.
Grocery bills are rising and premiums are doubling as Trump gilds his office in gold and bulldozes the East Wing for a fancy ballroom—and Republican lawmakers are doing NOTHING.
I voted NO on Eric Tung for the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which covers Washington state. He's spent his career attacking workers' rights, reproductive rights, environmental laws, and voting rights—and embracing dangerous fringe theories. Republicans confirmed him anyway.
Americans want sane, stable leadership that is focused on lowering the cost of living. People are already fed up with the chaos and corruption of the Trump administration. Republicans should LISTEN and work with us to reopen government and save the ACA tax credits.
4 out of 5 people who rely on the ACA tax credits live in states that Trump won. And over 80 percent of the people who will end up uninsured if these expire are in Trump states! This is a MAGA health care hike, yet Trump won't lift a finger to save your health care.
Trump is throwing a blow-out Gatsby party down in Mar-a-Lago & pardoning people who helped terrorists launder money—all while REFUSING to work on reopening the government and actively CHOOSING to break the law and ignore the courts to force 42 million Americans to go hungry.
Millions of Americans are seeing their health care premiums double—or worse—and Republican leaders are STILL refusing to act. Democrats will not let Republicans ignore this health care crisis.
Paying furloughed federal workers is not up for "discussion." It is law. Plain and simple.
Q: Does the administration guarantee that all furloughed federal workers will get back pay? LEAVITT: This is something we are very much open to discussing with Democrats as part of the discussions about the continuing resolution (That's not a yes!)
