Let’s be clear, Mr. President, sending the American people a one-time check for $2,000 for health care is NOT going to help!
If you would rather send the money for subsidies to healthcare insurance premiums directly to the people instead of the insurance companies, fine.
But no shell games!

That’s a pretty dramatic drop in approval over one week, from a Trump-friendly polling source!

Here’s an idea: Let’s organize a massive telethon fundraiser/concert, maybe something like, “SNAP AID: A Benefit for America’s Food Banks” to coincide with the State of the Union address… @meidastouch.com @brucespringsteen.net @maddow.bsky.social @citizensimpeachment.com
