Being healthy shouldn’t just be for the wealthy.
That’s why @whitehouse.senate.gov & I are fighting to lower health care costs for all Americans.

Visuals of Trump physical destruction of the White House a bit too on the nose?

Remember what’s coming: first, kill Affordable Care credits, doubling costs for tens of millions; then, cut Medicare half a trillion (sleazily, automatically) hurting seniors; then cut Medicaid by a trillion, pounding doctors, hospitals and nursing homes. It’s why we fight.
So that’s the red line? A “Nazi streak?” America deserves better.
I wonder if they are also looking at who’s behind the threats to judges for ruling against Trump. So far, zero answers to my questions.
Presented with a proposed public embezzlement by Trump and cronies of nearly a quarter billion dollars, MAGA DOJ answered “all officials at the Department of Justice follow the guidance of career ethics officials.”
The ones they fired?
Enough of the shutdown — let’s get negotiating.
Now this: they’re preparing to negotiate. Republicans knew the need for Affordable Care extension weeks ago, so this is late — but welcome.
Then they said, “Okay, we can guarantee a vote on the Affordable Care credits” and we didn’t budge because a show vote is not what families need to afford health care.
Then they said, “Okay, we will negotiate, but we won’t start until after the shutdown,” and we didn’t budge.
Then they said, “Okay, we admit Affordable Care credits need to be extended, but we won’t negotiate,” and we didn’t budge.
Then they went with their illegals lie, which blew up in their face (because it was completely false) and we didn’t budge.
Remember, this began with “Democrats go pound sand” — a total brush-off, but we didn’t budge. 🧵

Trump pardoned his friend George Santos just days after his Department of Retribution indicted Letitia James.
Every day it becomes clearer: this DOJ exists to punish Trump’s enemies, while protecting his allies.

Here we go again. Putin keeps jerking Trump’s chain and usually-alpha Trump uniquely is submissive to Putin. Something must explain that.
As I was saying: “Simply put, the president’s reputation for hyperbole that lapses into outright lies precedes him in these cases, and judges are increasingly refusing to take the administration’s rationale for its actions at face value.”

NEWS: Throughout the 10th Circuit, including in NM, corner crossing remains legal across parcels of public land that touch corner to corner, making thousands of acres of your public land legally accessible — just make sure you step public to public land, and never damage any private property.
Deeply grateful to receive this letter from Carrigan of Portsmouth. She is so brave.
Affordable health care saves lives. This is what we’re fighting for.
