Fight like hell.
Hakeem Jeffries is out with a new Dear Colleague letter, saying there are "just 13 legislative days left" before ACA tax credits expire, and that House Dems are planning to introduce a discharge petition to force an up-or-down vote on a three-year extension of ACA tax credits.

The Fed is gutting its ability to monitor warning signs of bank failures and slashing rules put in place after 2008 to prevent another financial crisis.
Now, big banks are ramping up the same risky behaviors that led to the last economic crash–setting the stage for another one.

Americans have gotten more than $21 billion back in their bank accounts after being cheated and scammed by big corporations, thanks to the CFPB.
But Trump and his Administration love grifters and scammers.
So they're trying to kill the agency holding them accountable.

What's on the line right now is what Donald Trump promised a year ago: lower costs.
But instead, he's done the opposite.
For American families, the price of just making it to the end of the month has gone up and up.
Democrats are using our votes to make life more affordable.

Trump's whole excuse for not averting a shutdown by extending ACA subsidies is that "Democrats want to fund illegal immigrants' healthcare." But it's a lie! And they know it's a lie! But they can't let the rubes in the base know it's a lie because otherwise they'll lose their public justification.

Here is how the media should be reporting this morning's news.
As part of a growing pattern of political retribution, Donald Trump's FBI has raided the home of a prominent administration critic. In this instance it happens to be John Bolton. The pretense is largely irrelevant.

Trump created the problem. The single reason Iran was so close to obtaining a nuclear weapon is that Trump destroyed the diplomatic agreement that put major, verifiable constraints on their nuclear program.
