Now that Trump has shut down the government, Democrats need to be loud and confident in our argument.
No 75% premium increases. No lawlessness.
That’s what we are fighting for. The people will be with us. But only if we show strength.

Since Fitzpatrick says he wouldn't back the Big Ugly Bill because of Medicaid cuts, he should stand with Democrats on restoring Medicaid funding as a condition of ending the shutdown.
He can't just care about Medicaid when it's politically convenient for him.

In 2022, inspectors described a “cascade of failure” at one foreign factory.
The FDA barred it from shipping drugs to the U.S. — then excused more than 20 drugs from the ban, despite risks to consumers.
