Could you afford one of your bills going up by $900 every month? That’s what Brent from Mesa is facing because the ACA tax credits are set to expire. If we act quickly, we can reopen the government and stop health care costs from skyrocketing for millions of Americans like Brent.

Trump moving to prevent states from wiping medical debt from credit bureaus.

Medical debt doesn’t reflect your ability to manage your finances, it reflects that you got sick.

Punishing people for becoming ill by denying them homes, loans & more is abject cruelty

Medical debt should be abolished

Trump Aims To Infect Your Credit

Trump’s Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is trying to stop states from wiping medical debt from your credit report.

My daughter is auntie to her friend’s children.
She didn’t asked to called Auntie it just kind of happened.

One day blood relations will likely be discussed but for years and for now Auntie she will remain.

Uncle and auntie are endearments and signs of respect most republicans cannot fathom.

It’s not funny b/c we’re the ones being laughed at.

But the ineptness , antics, outlandish performances & ignorance being on full display I’m sure is hilarious to many around the world, especially since this administration is all about how amazing they are creating the hottest country in the world.

More people in South Florida get health care through the ACA exchange than anywhere else in America. If ACA tax credits expire, lifesaving coverage will become unaffordable for millions overnight.

Congress can’t let this happen—come back to the table, and let’s work out a deal.

Also it is kinda a look for this administration.

Travel surrounded by armed people in over the top costumes.

It means later on he can marvel at the genius of a man (Pres. Poutypants) who has figured way to have a third term.

He can assure us just how astounding it is to have such an incredible mind & how proud he is to be a part of it to figure out how to continue running this great country.

These people have a short term gain of finances, but long-term, no have problem of there being hours of videos of them being lying scumbags.

Whatever wealth amassed is not gonna save you from history looking back and seeing what sleazy liars you were.

Nearly 104,000 mail-in ballots were rejected in 2024 because they arrived too late. A new USPS policy initiated under Trump’s first Postmaster General could lead to millions more being rejected in 2026 — and it’s Trump’s rural voters who’ll be impacted most.

It’s like he has learned (relearned) a new word to him and he is proud to say …repeatedly.

Trump to troops in Japan: "Unlike past administrations, we will not be politically correct. You don't mind that, do you? When it comes to defending the US we're no longer politically correct. We're gonna defend our country any way we have to and that's usually not the politically correct way"

Let’s put a number on the amount of division so it can be discussed
in excruciating detail
if it fluctuates at all because
they hope it captures attention and makes $$.

Division sells

Many can’t pass the test to become an agent so they have to get detailed instructions from somewhere.
Not exactly the most imaginative or intellectually curious group of people.
