An appellation and a button I created on third anniversary of the ACA, otherwise known as PelosiCare
Nancy Pelosi was the greatest speaker in the history of the Congress. I was proud to vote for her(my first vote in Congress) the first female speaker ,the honorable Nancy Pelosi. I will miss her as will the nation.
thank you Nancy.
Five weeks into the GOP shutdown and Republicans still refuse to negotiate.
They’d rather starve poor people and kids who depend on SNAP than restore the health care tax credits that help 81,000 people in Memphis afford coverage—all to pay for tax breaks for some of the wealthiest people on earth.

🚨BREAKING: SNAP must be paid NOW.
This is what we've been pressing for, but it’s not over. Trump was trying to use these people as hostages by taking away their food—he has a penchant for cruelty.
We have to keep the pressure on & make sure this administration follows through. Lives depend on it.

You have to ask: why keep the House locked during a shutdown?
We could vote to fund SNAP, pay our troops, reopen government.
But Speaker Johnson knows once we’re back, Democrats will have the votes to swear in Adelita Grijalva—and release the Epstein files.
That’s why we’re in recess.
I’ve been in DC nearly all week. Haven’t seen a single one of my Republican colleagues.
The GOP shut down the government to protect tax cuts for billionaires—and now Speaker Johnson’s literally locked the doors so we can't even vote to feed families on SNAP, or pay our troops and federal workers.
690k Tennesseans are on the verge of losing SNAP in the Republican Shutdown, and the GOP won't even call the House back into session.
Meanwhile, Gov. Lee is sitting on a $2 BILLION rainy-day fund that could help keep families fed—but says he won't spend a dime.
I'm urging him to reconsider ⬇️
This shutdown is about one thing: protecting tax cuts for the wealthy.
Trump has billions he could use to keep SNAP funded in Nov. So does TN Governor Bill Lee.
But the GOP would rather let families miss SNAP and go hungry than restore the ACA tax credits they gutted to pay for those tax cuts.
NOT MY PROBLEM! @govbilllee says he won’t touch Tennessee’s $2 BILLION savings account to feed 700,000 children, low-income working parents & disabled Tennesseans if the #TrumpShutdown continues into November

In Opinion
“The United States is cutting off the kind of foreign aid that keeps children alive for 12 cents a day, but it’s willing to invest far larger sums in a dubious effort to prop up a distant economy — while effectively subsidizing tycoons who made bad investments,” Nicholas Kristof writes.
Melania doesn’t want to be around Trump so East Wing has temporarily lost its tenant and Trump has it torn down,not thinking or caring that the next president’s spouse may want to live with their mate and need an office.
What an ……
Any family who received ACA tax credits will pay AT LEAST $1,000 & up to $18,000 more for healthcare starting in January if the GOP gets its way.
You pay more so that people making over $400k, multi-millionaires, & billionaires can get new tax breaks.
That's what the GOP shutdown is about.
