The Affordable Care Act tax credits help millions of students, retirees, small business owners, and working families afford to see a doctor & get the care they need. This is who will be hurt if Trump & the GOP allow those credits to expire.

If you had any doubt whether these incel Nazi predators are the future of the Republican Party, hereβs your answer.
This is far worse than anything said in a college group chat, and the guy who said it could become the AG of Virginia. I refuse to join the pearl clutching when powerful people call for political violence.

Enhanced Premium Tax Credits make it possible for more than 20M people to get the healthcare they need. But instead of making them permanent, Republicans passed the biggest health care cuts in U.S. history. It's time for Congress to put families first & cut healthcare costs.

No matter where I go, my message is the same: strengthen, don't abandon public education. We have to focus not just on what's wrong, but we have to imagine what we want for our kids, our schools, & our communitiesβand find a way to make that dream happen. https://t.co/LVxxFHqPS7
