TODAY is the first day of open enrollment in Idaho. That means people need to start choosing their health care plans RIGHT NOW. One Idahoan who's paying $367/month will be paying a WHOPPING $2,232/month without the ACA tax credits. We have to save the ACA tax credits.
My question for Sen. Sheehy, can you clarify: are you OK with Trump cutting this $1 billion investment from our states? As he now knows, this has nothing to do with the shutdown and everything to do with Trump going after Democrats. We should be working together to protect this project.
COLLINS: The Dept of Energy just canceled $1b for a hydrogen hub that covers Montana. Is that taking away good-paying jobs? SHEEHY: Of course it is. We want govt to be open C: But the Energy Secretary says he would've pulled that funding even if govt was open S: ... Well, that's unfortunate
Do Republicans think our farmers are the radical left?   Over a quarter of farmers are covered through the ACA exchanges.   The biggest health care premium increases are ALL in red states.
Title X is a program that helps women get things like birth control & cancer screenings. It was established under RICHARD NIXON. The decision to essentially abolish this office has nothing to do with the shutdown. This is just another attack on women's basic health care.
THIS ⬇️ I've never seen a time when we are facing a true crisis, and the president & GOP leaders won't even TALK to Democrats about a solution. Republicans can end this shutdown TODAY if they work with Democrats to reopen the government and keep health care costs from skyrocketing.
4/ Ok, so then the obvious next step is to negotiate a compromise. That's how we've always avoided shutdowns. And Republicans need to convene those talks, bc they're in charge. But here's the kicker - Trump is telling them to BOYCOTT NEGOTIATING. And they are following orders.
Why in the world has Speaker Johnson sent the House on a four-week VACATION while millions of people are about to get kicked off their health care? @repemilyrandall.bsky.social and I could not answer that if we tried.
I visited a community health center in Oak Harbor today, hearing directly from doctors about the need to extend the ACA tax credits. Patients can't afford premiums that more than double—neither can providers. It's past time to reopen government and SAVE the ACA tax credits!
How shameful. Trump is firing these people for NO good reason and leaving students with disabilities and their families with even fewer resources. This is cruel and stupid. Kids with disabilities deserve a great education, just like anyone else.
It's a good thing the hostages have been released, and I am hopeful that there can be lasting peace for Israelis and Palestinians alike. There is significant work that needs to be done to rebuild Gaza in particular AND ensure a true two-state solution—that work is crucial.
A lot of mealy-mouthed lies here. Republicans wanted to repeal the ACA with no replacement—they failed. This summer, they cut $1 trillion from health care, gutting Medicaid & sabotaging the ACA. They have no health care plan and they want to let your premiums more than double.
REPORTER: Do you support repealing Obamacare and what's your healthcare plan? MIKE JOHNSON: We worked on repealing and replacing Obamacare back in 2017. I still have PTSD from the experience. We know that American healthcare needs dramatic reform. We have lots of ideas. (So, no plan)
We don’t need a Congress that only listens to the wealthy – we need a Congress that actually listens to real people.   Republicans’ refusal to work with Democrats to prevent health care costs from exploding is putting real people in an impossible situation.
There is no insurrection in Portland unless you consider an uptick of people wearing inflatable frog costumes an insurrection. No one is falling for this absurd propaganda, and there is NO justification for deploying our troops against peaceful American citizens.
WELKER: Are you looking at invoking the Insurrection Act? VANCE: We have to remember we are talking about this bc crime has gotten out of control W: Crime is down in both Chicago & Portland V: Crime is down bc they are so overwhelmed at the local level they are not even keeping stats properly
JD Vance is LYING. These firings have NOTHING to do with the shutdown. Donald Trump is CHOOSING to fire these scientists to threaten Democrats. Trump is destroying what little is left of our public health infrastructure, and we will NOT be ready for the next pandemic.
BRENNAN: CBS confirmed the Trump administration rescinded the layoffs of CDC scientists. Some were involved with the federal measles response. How does a mistake like this happen? VANCE: The govt shutdown inevitably leads to some chaos. It happened because of Schumer B: But this was a WH decision
I spoke with Susan from Idaho, whose health care premiums could go up 900% if Republicans refuse to work with us to fix this crisis. Republicans need to come to the table to work with us to extend these tax credits and save health care for millions of Americans like Susan.
A lot of Republican Members of Congress are in a total bubble. Right-wing media can paint a rosy picture of our economy, sure. But reality is gonna come crashing down on Republicans when their constituents see their premiums more than double, or even quadruple.
