If you get your health care through Georgia Access, log on today to check your monthly payment for next year.

A million Georgians will see that their health care premiums have doubled.

The Republican funding bill allows this. I won’t stand for it.

Mario Guevara was wrongfully deported nine days ago.

Freedom of the Press Foundation @freedom.press · 1d

Journalist Mario Guevara was deported because the American government punishes reporters to protect its own power.

“There’s no real crime here. It’s just pretext,” FPF's @adamrose.bsky.social told @dwallacewells.bsky.social.

Many RIFed yesterday are now being unfired(?!)

Unclear if it’s evil or incompetence — but either way, calculated move. Meant to flex power.

Ha. Just shows Republicans are scared.

Dems, @schumer.senate.gov — don’t back down.
They know they’re losing the Republican shutdown shitshow.
We’re winning.

Official HHS memo showing someone RIFed yesterday is, um, no longer RIFed. wtf

People are not pawns. The latest CDC layoffs are another example of this Administration going after our health—this time by firing scientists working to prevent chronic & respiratory disease.

I’m working to reopen the gvt, reverse these reckless cuts, & fund health care.

We're on day 10 of the #RepublicanShutdown, and it has now been 21 days since Mike Johnson last called a vote in the House. I'm ready to work for the #FightingFifth and the American people, and to negotiate in good faith to reopen the government AND secure affordable health care.

One in four farmers rely on the ACA Marketplace for their health care.

Sara is one of them. Her premiums are about to rise 3x.

For Sara and for farmers across Georgia, we MUST fund health care.
