Trump wants health insurance premiums to spike right after he allowed medical debt to adversely affect people’s credit ratings, while rolling out 50 year mortgages. But he loves you, MAGA. That’s why he’s building that ballroom for you.

A $400K house at 6% costs $863K on a 30-year mortgage. On Trump’s 50-year plan? $1.38M. That’s half a million more in interest. Trump supporters cheering for 50-year mortgages is like turkeys cheering for Thanksgiving.

If Republicans are s-o-o-o-o concerned about the greed of the health insurance industry, what are they waiting for? Replace the Affordable Care Act with Medicare for All - legislation that would save $650 billion and 68,000 lives each and every year.

I continue to think "we'll starve kids and cancel air travel before the holidays unless you let us hike health care premiums" is a really stupid shutdown message from the Republicans.

JD's family has spent $35M on vacations. Kash Patel used a $60M FBI jet to go on a date. Trump spent $98M to golf for 24% of the days of this term. All our tax dollars. But you think single moms getting $6 a day for SNAP is the problem?

That annual mammogram is only free bc the ACA forced insurers to cover them in full with no copayments so women would actually do them. It’s saved thousands of moms, sisters, friends, cousins, daughters and co workers this past decade
@Nickolea24 @RachelBitecofer You better get that mammogram every year because if it’s not caught at stage zero, you’re looking at 150-500k in expenses.

So Donald Trump’s big donors and giant corporations get massive tax breaks, but Americans waiting for SNAP payments are told to eat dirt? Did I get that right?

How dare Pope Leo proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ!
His first major text describes protecting the climate, welcoming migrants and pursuing economic justice as sacred obligations. To admirers Pope Leo XIV is a compassionate reformer; to critics, the “commie” or “woke pope” https://t.co/IZ4i9nEVEw Photo: Getty Images

So they inflated a bubble by selling undelivered services to each other and now they're demanding taxpayer money or they'll crash the economy? This is extortion. Intentional manipulation.
Open AI is asking for US government bailout. We’ve been trying to tell you: AI is a bubble, it’s going to burst, and the ramifications are going to be 100x worse than the 2008 crash.

Sanctions were designed to indiscriminately hurt the Venezuelan people. They sparked a migrant crisis. So would regime change.
Essay: Trump tried once before to bring down the Venezuelan dictator, prompting millions of Venezuelans to flee. Is a repeat on the horizon? https://t.co/tY01XaJeXX

.@linamkhan is right. The corruption of the President's family making millions in crypto and pardoning a foreign billionaire is staggering. Pass my bill to ban the President, his family, and elected official from trading in cryptocurrency.
Lina Khan: “Candidly at this moment when we are seeing unprecedented levels of corruption from the Republican Party and total pay to play, the idea that our response to that should be, ‘okay, maybe we should be a little bit more corrupt too’ is frankly mind boggling to me.”

Those are colossal Stone Crab Claws, they cost $60-$75+ PER pound. Thousands of dollars in claws. Trump’s team is fighting in court to block SNAP payments, while having a lavish spread that most American’s could never afford. He does NOT care about you. He played you!

Nothing to see here….just the guy from Argentina that Trump gave a $40B bailout doing the stupid Trump dance at Mar-a-Lago at the CPAC event there while Americans are losing healthcare and waiting in line at food banks across the country

The average cost of giving birth without insurance is $18,865. The average cancer patient will spend at least $150k. Trump’s approach would bankrupt and kill even more Americans when they can’t afford care. Our taxes should be funding universal healthcare with Medicare for All

Hey, this is a wild idea from Abby Disney. If we are reducing air traffic around the country, should we ground private jets, which account for 12% of air traffic now? What say you, @SeanDuffyWI? #DemsUnited
