Health care window shopping just opened for Mainers.

Here’s what a working family could face next year: Higher premiums thanks to Susan Collins in Washington.

This is what’s at stake — and why Senate Democrats are fighting to keep health care tax credits in place.

If you’re a billionaire looking to buy Trump’s favor, he’s already on the way.

But if you’re a federal worker, in the military, on WIC, or just an American who wants affordable health care — he’s MIA.

Unearthed invitation shows Trump will host a lavish $1 million per person fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago this Friday.

Bottom line:

Americans want action to lower costs — not chaos to raise them. This isn’t partisan. It’s common sense.

Trump and Senate Republicans are out of step with the country, and voters know exactly who to blame for the shutdown.

Republicans refusing to negotiate?

Just 26% agree with that position.

A strong majority — 60% — disagree.

That’s a –34-point margin against Trump’s “hold firm” shutdown strategy.

Voters want compromise — not chaos.
By a +55-point margin, Americans agree Trump should “negotiate with Democrats in Congress to reach a deal that keeps down health insurance costs.”

✅ 72% agree
❌ 17% disagree

Even when stacked against Trump’s other “priorities”:

🚫 Freezing infrastructure funding
🚫 Launching military strikes abroad
➡️ Two-thirds of voters still say lowering health care costs should come first.

Health care is the top priority.
When asked what Trump should focus on:

🟦 66% — Lowering health care costs & restoring Medicaid
🟥 24% — Sending ICE & the National Guard into cities

Voters want lower premiums, not military policing in U.S. cities.

Voters -- even Republicans -- are tired of GOP chaos.

Nearly 40% of Trump voters want him to cut a deal on health care.

Micheal Whatley’s biggest fans were outed in that POLITICO leak trading racist and antisemitic messages. They’ve since gone private. But the receipts live on.

Guess we’ll see if Whatley condemns it, deflects it, or pretends it never happened.

The GOP’s Senate lineup in Georgia — Derek Dooley, Mike Collins, and Buddy Carter — is running on fumes. No vision, no ideas, just chaos.

But don’t take it from us, take it from Marjorie Taylor Greene.

The people of Ohio should know that Jon Husted has now voted 7 times to close the government and raise your health care costs.

He’s making it clear he puts politics ahead of lowering prices.

Airports are falling apart,
our servicemembers aren’t getting paid, federal workers are going without pay, veterans are being left behind —

and the GOP doesn’t care, as long as their billionaire health care CEO donors keep cashing in.

This is what happens when power goes unchecked.

Trump is targeting pastors peacefully protesting — and Senate Republicans are turning a blind eye.

Senators Mark Kelly and Ruben Gallego are right to call out Speaker Johnson.

Republicans are stalling @Rep. Grijapva’s swearing-in because they don’t want her vote to release the Epstein files.

Burgess Everett @burgessev.bsky.social · 7d

Kelly and Gallego knocking Speaker Johnson for keeping House on recess and not swearing in Adelita Grijalva. Gallego says Johnson wants to “cover-up for pedophiles” by not swearing in Grijalva, who would be 218 for discharge petition on Epstein files

The government is shut down because Trump and the Republicans are hellbent on taking health care away from you.

And they won’t even come to the table to talk to us about it.

This is not about politics. It's about people.
