We have the signatures needed to bring a vote to extend the ACA tax credits—but MAGA Mike is canceling votes for the rest of the week, turning his back on the American people.

Millions of Americans will soon see their health care premiums skyrocket because Republicans refuse to do their job.

The appropriate response to this insane performance is that Trump clearly needs to step down.
Trump is so clearly insane. It’s a national emergency.
Lying. It’s all lies.

Some folks will nitpick a Black woman running for office but hand out endless grace to White men. The double standard isn’t subtle.

Republicans have no shortage of talking points on who they think deserves access to health care.

But they still can’t bring themselves to say what every American deserves to hear: that health care is a human right, and everyone deserves access to affordable care.

Q: At the end of this year, those extended Obamacare subsidies expire. What's your message to those 24m Americans who will see their premiums go up?

TRUMP: Don't make it sound so bad. Obviously you're a sycophant for Democrats. You're obviously a provider of bad news for Republicans.

ProPublica has uncovered something the Trump administration keeps insisting never happens.

Immigration agents have detained and mistreated American citizens.

Not one or two isolated mistakes.

More than 170 citizens this year.
