Apparently $20B of our taxpayer money wasn't enough to bail out Argentina.

Now Trump wants U.S. banks to divert ANOTHER $20B away from lending to American businesses, farmers, and families to prop up Milei's corrupt presidency and failing economy.

So much for America First.

Americans pay some of the highest prices in the world for health care, and Leigh McGowan knows that first hand.

Democrats are fighting to lower health care costs. Instead of helping to fix this crisis, Republicans are shutting down the government.

Leigh McGowan says: I was offered life insurance because I was turning 30. They said, "You can get a really low premium if you do it now. I thought, "Life insurance? I'm 29.”

Literally two years later, I had a terminal disease and now I don't qualify for life insurance. So, anytime you think you're healthy and you don't need health care, get health care.

And if we start messing with the system now, it is all of us who are going to fall through the cracks.

Leigh McGowan says: My entire family is on the ACA, but I have a very rare disease. So, I am not one of those people that even if the premiums go up, I can just go off of it. One of my drugs costs $130,000 a month. One of my drugs.

Senator Warren responds: If Trump and the Republicans succeed and keep ramming these cuts through, there are going to be millions more people who have no coverage.

Today we celebrate the discovery of America, when, on October 13, 20,979 B.C., Paleolithic hunter-gatherers entered North America from the North Asian Mammoth steppe via the Beringia land bridge, which had formed between Siberia and Alaska during the Last Glacial Maximum.

🚨The absence of media coverage of this natural disaster in Alaska, the lost/missing people, and the destruction of the aftermath is up to us to share. Please help if you can - even if it is just spreading awareness. There is no FEMA going to help them. 1/2

MO & OH Dems need us to help Rally support!

A commissioned poll shows nearly 1/2 of MO voters oppose the maps

The Dem committee needs over 100,000 valid signatures across multiple congressional districts before the state’s 90-day window expires on Dec. 11 to let voters decide on the maps.

Missouri Democrats have an opportunity to block a new congressional map. They say they’re largely on their own.

Despite relatively little investment from Washington, Missouri and Ohio Democrats are looking to block new Republican-drawn maps through uncertain avenues.
