With ACA tax credits, a 60-year-old couple making $85,000 pays ~$7,000 for their annual premium. Without ACA tax credits, the same couple could be forced to pay nearly $30,000. I know Republicans only speak "billionaire"—but middle-class families can't afford this.
You're right, Donald. We’re not stupid. When you broke your promise to protect Medicaid by enacting a $1 trillion cut, you sold out hospitals and health coverage for millions. Democrats just want you to keep your promise. Repeal the cuts.
Trump Truth social post: “I have a meeting today with Russ Vought, he of Project 2025 Fame, to determine which of the many Democrats Agencies, most of which are a political SCAM, he recommends to be cut, and whether or not those cuts will be temporary or permanent. I can’t believe the Radical Left Democrats gave me this unprecedented opportunity. They are not stupid people, so maybe this is their way of wanting to, quietly and quickly, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DJT
Using American cities as "training grounds for our military" isn’t just intrinsically un-American, it's unconstitutional. 
More like a tin-pot dictator than a President every day.
Trump to top military officials: "I told Pete, we should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military. National Guard, but our military. Because we're going into Chicago very soon. That's a big city with an incompetent governor. Stupid governor."
Even Donald Trump once said, "a shutdown falls on the President’s lack of leadership." Well, choosing to shut down rather than save health care is one of the biggest failures in leadership imaginable.
Fact: Undocumented immigrants are not even eligible to purchase the ACA coverage we’re trying to protect. Republicans voted to hike costs and take health care away from American citizens. Including their own constituents. Read that again. Over and over.
If you live in these states, your ACA premiums are about to jump: SD - Up 235%
LA - Up 150%
WV - Up 387%
WY - Up 382%
TN - Up 320%
MS - Up 314%
AK - Up 346% Republicans are fighting to make sure this happens to their own constituents.
Trump continues threatening our state with his unwarranted, unwanted and unjust military deployments.   This dangerous pattern of politicizing our military and forcing our troops to intimidate their fellow Americans in their communities is as un-American as it gets.   Full stop.
If this deeply degrading, wasteful and dangerous stunt proved anything, it’s that the best thing Hegseth can do to strengthen our military is resign in disgrace. Immediately.
Straight from the horse's mouth. Trump knows damn well this shutdown is on him. He's the President—he has the power to keep the government open AND keep health care premiums from skyrocketing.
Using tear gas, pepper spray and more against Americans exercising their First Amendment rights is deeply disturbing. I’m in contact with local officials and I urge Illinoisans stay calm, stay safe and document what you can. We will hold the Trump Administration accountable.

On Gold Star Mother’s and Family’s Day, we honor those who've lost a loved one while serving our nation. Their tremendous sacrifices—and the loss they continue to carry—will never be forgotten, and we can never stop working to provide them with the support they deserve.
For his own vanity, Pete Hegseth is pulling our military leaders away from their missions around the world— At great cost to American taxpayers and our national security. In every way, this abrupt, unprecedented meeting is too high a price. I’m demanding answers.
Ahead of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s abrupt, needless and wasteful speech to much of our nation’s top military leadership on Tuesday, U.S. Senators Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) and Mazie K. Hirono (D-HI)—members of the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC)—pressed the Secretary in a letter on the serious risks that such a gathering poses to security—on top of the monstrous cost to American taxpayers as Republicans march us toward a government shutdown.

Los Angeles. D.C. Memphis. Portland. Our troops didn't sign up to intimidate their fellow Americans and be pawns in Trump's political theater. Shame on Republicans for being complicit in this abuse of our military.
Republicans are marching us toward a shutdown— And the most unqualified SecDef is summoning our top military leaders from around the globe on the taxpayer's dime... So that he, of all people, could lecture them on the warrior ethos. Completely and utterly ridiculous.
Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered hundreds of generals to travel on short notice from around the world to hear him make a short speech on military standards and the “warrior ethos.”
“A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.” — The Declaration of Independence
Former FBI Director James Comey indicted days after Trump demanded his DOJ move 'now' to prosecute enemies
Your health care bill is about to explode. The notices will start arriving next month. A $7,000 bill could jump to $24,000. Democrats are fighting to stop this. Republicans are fighting to guarantee your costs go up. We need to fix this. Now.
Graphic: Enrollees making above 400% of poverty will lose all financial assistance without the ACA’s enhanced premium tax credits
Reposted byTammy Duckworth
Your Big Ugly Bill imposed the largest cuts to health care in U.S. history, including over $900 billion in Medicaid cuts. Rural hospitals are already shutting down and reducing services as a result. Tell Trump to stop hiding behind Truth Social and sit down with Democrats.


Senate Republicans
@SenateGOP
 (https://x.com/SenateGOP)Democrats voted to cut $50B from rural hospitals last week, so we know they don’t actually care about access to health care. 

They just want to fight the President, even if they shut down the government in the process.

TACO Tuesday in the Trump White House. Trump refuses to even sit down with Democrats on health care and lowering costs.
