Speaker Johnson admits Trump & Republicans are forcing millions of kids to go hungry for political leverage. He says funding SNAP would "reduce the pressure" on Democrats. Disgusting.
BASH: Even Hawley says you should move money around to feed people. Why not consider it? JOHNSON: Because if you deviate from the goal of reopening the entire govt, Schumer & the radicals will continue to play games. If you do just part of this, it will reduce the pressure for them to do all of it
BREAKING: Senate GOP just BLOCKED Democrats' straightforward bill to pay our troops. If Republicans still refuse to work with Democrats to reopen the government and prevent health care costs from skyrocketing, they should at the very least be able to work with us to make sure our troops get paid.
An increase of $13 a month? I'm sure millions of Americans wish they lived in whatever alternative timeline Dr. Oz is because the truth is that premiums are going to double, or worse! Oz has clearly not even looked at the ACA marketplace—which is crazy, BECAUSE THAT IS HIS JOB.
Q: Unless ACA subsidies are extended, the average plan will increase by somewhere around 115% DR OZ: Where'd you get that number? Q: Kaiser Family Foundation OZ: They retracted that. Here's the truth. The average American who's on ACA is gonna pay $13 more than this year. That's not a big issue
"Talking" about health care later isn't going to do anything for people whose premiums are doubling or even quadrupling. Prices are getting locked in. "Talking" about this LATER is TOO LATE.
Donald Trump has the money to make sure people on SNAP get their benefits, even in a shutdown. He is CHOOSING not to. And don't forget: Republicans passed the LARGEST cut to SNAP in our nation's history.
BREAKING: Democrats just tried to pass a standalone bill to fund WIC & SNAP to make sure families don't go hungry during the Republican shutdown. Republicans BLOCKED it. So Trump won't use emergency funds to keep SNAP running, and Republicans won't let any bills pass. Shameful.
What's Trump been up to during the shutdown? Shoveling $40 billion to bail out Argentina, asking DOJ to pay him $230 million, and demolishing the East Wing to build a $300 million gold-plated ballroom. But he won't lift a finger to stop premiums from more than doubling.
The president should be meeting with congressional leaders on both sides every single day until government is open.   Instead, Trump is in Asia pining to meet dictator Kim Jong Un and he's focused on building himself a $300 million ballroom.
It is painfully clear Republicans are not listening to folks back home.   What families nationwide are saying is: "Please stop my premiums from doubling."   And what are Republican leaders saying? "Not our problem, we never wanted to lower health care costs in the first place."
Trump has single-handedly raised taxes more than any president in my lifetime. He has imposed, without any approval from Congress, billions of dollars in new tariffs—all paid for by the American people.
I happen to believe that your elected officials should vote to reopen government AND keep your premiums from more than doubling.   Government should be open and Americans shouldn't go bankrupt to afford health care.
The President is refusing to spend a cent of emergency funds to keep SNAP benefits from running dry, but he did move heaven and earth to send $40 billion to bail out Argentina.
Rep. Newhouse and his House colleagues have not been in session and voting for WEEKS now—it’s an absurd abdication of their responsibility to the American people. Get back to work. Negotiate, reopen government, and save the ACA tax credits.
Trump is NOT a doctor and no one should be taking medical advice from a man who once told people to inject bleach. Talk to your doctor and listen to the experts—not conspiracy theorist quacks like Trump and RFK Jr.
