Nice to know @lawler4ny is for repeal of the ACA. @grok how many people in Mike Lawler's district would lose health care if he repeals the ACA?
1) Obamacare was passed by Democrats 2) the Obamacare tax credits were passed by Democrats during COVID and slated to expire at the end of this year. 3) since Obamacare took effect, healthcare premiums have risen by over 60%. Your failed policies created a healthcare crisis.

Platner seems like a great candidate. Others have seemed like great candidates in Maine and lost by double digits. No one going up against Collins has won before. If all Mills voters vote for her again, she kinda wins. Is this the only factor? No. But it’s a factor to

What is lazy is being a pollster and not recognizing someone a majority of people have voted for in the past is an asset in an election particularly in Maine. A place where Collins relies on people having voted for her before. Maybe that’s counteracted by other factors. But it’s
Saying Platner is going to end up being Fetterman Pt. 2 is so lazy

There was something to do to avoid this 11 months ago. Would have been good to tell people to do it.

Donald Trump made Biden President in January 2020 in a post and I honestly don’t understand an American media that does not investigate this for signs of debilitation. If you wrote about that for Biden how are you silent for Trump? Plenty of aging people who are cognitively

The cost of electricity is rising at double the rate of inflation and that’s before all of these data centers kick into high gear and all of these cheap solar energy projects got cancelled. Buckle up.
I will cut the price of ENERGY and ELECTRICITY in HALF within 12 months. We will seriously expedite our environmental approvals, and quickly double our electricity capacity. This will DRIVE DOWN INFLATION, and make AMERICA and MICHIGAN the best place on earth to build a factory…

It’s so disgustingly Orwellian to say a bill that kicks 16 million people off health care is good for health care.
Mike Johnson: "Republicans are the party that are fixing healthcare. We just demonstrated that in the one big beautiful bill."

That seems like smart political entrepreneurship
.@Nate_Cohn’s analysis: “Only 1% of Democrats said health care was the most important issue facing the country in last week’s Times/Siena poll. This shutdown is “about” health care only because congressional Dems redirected the energies of the party’s base onto an issue they

Majorie Taylor Greene: "Prices have not come down at all. The job market is extremely difficult. Wages have not gone up. Health insurance is going up. Home insurance goes up. Rent is going up. Young people have no hope of buying a home."

Holy Moses. For any rational President, this would be a reason to fire the person
Before targeting Trump foes, Pulte practiced on his own family, per @BrianSlodysko @ChrisMegerian. He accused his grandfather’s widow of insider trading, was tied to a website trashing an aunt as a "fake Christian" and called another relative "a fat slob."

This is one of the most important races in the entire country in 2025. This November, we have the power to protect freedom and the rule of law in Pennsylvania by voting Yes to retain our PA Supreme Court justices. Join me on the phones: https://t.co/gpjSQBWC0k

"The original #NoKings protest was 250 years ago. We've had democracy since then. Now we have a would-be king who wants to take it away—King Donald the First. Fuck that. We're rising up again, this time nonviolently, raising our voices to declare: 'No Kings.' Stand up and be

George was just trying to get to work. ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process. This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look

When Republicans are pre-butting a pro-democracy rally like No Kings and making shit up left and right to scare people, you know they're losing and in panic mode. Pedal to the floor.

The comparatively tepid media coverage of an objectively worse economy under Trump compared to Biden is as predictable as it is depressing.
Fed Governor Christopher Waller: "Job growth has probably been negative the last few months. it doesn't look like it's doing much better. I don't hear anybody with big hiring plans."

Thune is simply lying here. Shutdowns don’t force people to be fired. No one was ever fired in any of the previous shutdowns in history. Trump and Vought fired a bunch of people because they wanted to — like they’re been planning since February.
@LeaderJohnThune responds to OMB head @russvought’s message that “RIFS have begun,” telling @jordainc and I: “Well… I think they held off as long as they could.”
