They don’t “consider” that the effective date, Ty. That is — by law — the effective date. You’d know that if you had bothered to even read it. By default, a bill takes effect upon enactment unless it specifies otherwise. That’s been the law for over two centuries.
After months of silence, USDA also announced that they consider the work requirement expansion to have been effective when the law was enacted on July 4. Giving states no time to successfully implement these changes further increases the risk that eligible people will lose SNAP.

Nothing says you’re fighting for “the Rule of Law” like … *checks notes* … attempting to block enforcement of federal law so that you can keep harboring illegal aliens.
President Trump, if you illegally throw our Governor in jail, I will continue his fight for the Rule of Law.

To answer Bakari’s question: Democrats. Democrats set the temporary COVID bonus subsidies to expire this year. Nobody voted to “repeal” them. They’re expiring on the schedule set unilaterally by Democrats. Here’s the House roll call from that bill. Same story in the Senate.
"Who repealed the subsidies?" "Are you talking about the current subsidies that are set to expire?" "Yes. Who repealed them?" "They were passed as temporary subsidies set to expire." Bakari Sellers clearly doesn't know how the government works, but CNN keeps putting him on.

Literally none of this is true. Democrats are filibustering the budget (which a bipartisan majority supports) & shut down the govt. In order to end their shutdown, they’re demanding welfare expansions for illegal aliens & even more taxpayer giveaways to United Health.
In a few days, you may be notified that your health insurance premiums will double, because of Republican cuts to health care. Democrats are fighting to change that before it's too late. So far, Republicans would rather shut down the government. So Americans face flight delays,

Also, if you're wondering why Larry is so desperate for these COVID bonuses to continue long after the "emergency" ended... For every percentage point increase in the share of a FL county's residents getting the bonuses, Democrats' vote margin improved by 2.6 points.
Thanks for accidentally highlighting the amount of fraud going on, Larry. Florida has 3.1 million ObamaCare enrollees who report income between 100-150% FPL. The only problem? That's 5X the total eligible population in that income range.

57% of ACA marketplace enrollees live in a district represented by a Republican. The five districts with the largest ACA enrollment are all in Florida, one of ten states that have not expanded Medicaid.

Pelosi & Schumer set the COVID bonus money expire. YOU voted for that expiration date. Now you’re blaming Republicans for YOUR bill? Also, even that KFF data (which overstates issue) shows out-of-pocket premiums will still only be **$37 per week** on average.
At a time when we should be guaranteeing health care to all Americans as a human right, President Trump and his Republican colleagues are threatening to make our broken system even worse by doubling premiums for more than 20 million Americans.

We literally send** $53 billion** per year to insurance companies to cover people who never use it, don’t know they have it, or don’t even exist.
One could argue the "real beneficiaries" are millions who get access to health care, security against financially crushing hospital bills Insurers are the conduit bc the alternative is government If interested, I'm sure @BernieSanders would welcome the support!

Also important reminder that the insurance companies already priced the COVID bonuses going away on the Pelosi-Schumer schedule into next year’s premiums. Extending them is just a windfall for big insurance companies.
If Biden’s temporary COVID credits expire on the schedule that Pelosi & Schumer set in law, the average ObamaCare enrollee will *still* get a Platinum Plus (no deductible!) plan for about $3-$14 per week. That’s what they’re trying to scaremonger over. A $3 weekly premium.

Chuck Schumer is apparently recommending that Senate Republicans eliminate the filibuster so that he won’t be able to keep filibustering the budget (which already has bipartisan majority support).
Republicans control the Senate, the House, and the White House. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Garbage in; garbage out. That “data” assumes they’re committing identity fraud *solely* for work authorization and not for government transfers & welfare programs. Which is just about the dumbest assumption you can make.
Illegal is illegal. No way around it. But, the data says that they contribute more than they take.

Garbage in; garbage out. If they asked an honest question, they’d get a different result. So of course they try to make people think ALL ObamaCare subsidies are going away, not just the Biden COVID bonuses.

New KFF poll: Americans want Congress to extend the expiring, enhanced Obamacare credits by a whopping margin of 78% to 22% — a remarkable political entrenchment for subsidies that were a heavy political lift for Democrats just a few years ago, per Politico.

NEW POLL: 65% of voters support ending the Biden COVID credits for higher-income enrollees and reverting back to the pre-COVID credits for lower-income enrollees. n = 1,991 likely voters

Coons’ statement is demonstrably false and anyone with any experience whatsoever with Medicaid or ObamaCare operations knows it’s a lie. OBBB finally required you to be a legal immigrant to qualify for Medicaid/ObamaCare. Democrats are demanding to repeal that.
Coons blows up Trump's lie: "You can only benefit from the Affordable Care Act, Medicare, and Medicaid if you have legal status in this country. We are not fighting for healthcare for people here illegally ... We are fighting for healthcare for Americans."

This is just a straight up lie. There are exactly ZERO provisions in the House-passed CR that “increase health care costs 114 percent.”
The Republican House has been on vacation for 9 of the last 10 weeks and they just passed a bill to increase health care costs by 114 percent. And Democrats want Republicans to physically show up for work and fix this healthcare crisis for 24 million Americans.

The page on the right -- which is the provision of OBBB that limits Medicaid to citizens and lawfully admitted immigrants -- is what Democrats are trying to REPEAL, you clown. Thanks for literally proving Republicans' point.
Republicans really think you’re THAT stupid to not do you own homework. LEFT: Widely shared page of bill to show Dems want federally fund health care for illegals. RIGHT: Page of bill that CLEARLY says this applies only aliens “LAWFULLY ADMITTED”

“iNfLaTiOn Is WoRsE” 🤡 Annualized inflation for groceries— Trump’s first term: 1.6% per year Biden’s term: 5.4% per year Trump’s second term: 1.9% per year
What's weird about this is, a year ago all the media talked about was how awful inflation was. Here we are, a year later, and it is worse. Yet I'd bet it gets only a tiny fraction of the press attention it got last year.
