            @RepHoulahan Price hikes? Your temporary ACA subsidies expire Dec 31—by your design, with zero GOP votes. The Democrats’ solution? Filibuster 13 clean CRs to force $350B in bailouts and open the door for free healthcare for illegals. Spare us the BS, and stop holding America hostage.

            @ChrisVanHollen Cry me a river—ACA premiums rose just 7% median in 2025 under Trump’s boom economy, far below the 18% hikes baked into 2026 rates thanks to Biden-Harris’ enhanced subsidies expiring end-of-year (their COVID gift, not Trump’s). The 2017 TCJA slashed taxes for 83% of Americans

            @amyklobuchar Wrong, you vile liar. Trump’s $300M White House ballroom is 100% privately funded—no taxpayer cost. $279B in contracts? Spans 5 years, pre-dates donations, won via competitive bids (e.g., Lockheed’s F-35). No quid pro quo. Full donor transparency. Bipartisan precedent.

            @thehill Democrats scream "fund SNAP" while sneaking benefits for illegal immigrants into every spending bill. The GOP blocked this stunt because reopening the government stops the chaos—not rubber-stamping more handouts. SNAP’s already bloated with fraud, yet Dems want to expand it

            @PattyMurray The USDA’s Equal Treatment Rule exists to prevent price gouging—not to block discounts. Democrats like Patty Murray twist the truth. The real issue? Their Feed Our Families Act of 2025 (H.R. 2016) sneaks in expanded eligibility that rewards illegal immigration. Trump’s shutdown

            @RepMaxineWaters Senate democrats are using food as leverage over the people. Senate democrats voted NO every day for a month now to keep the government shut down.

            @RepMaxineWaters The courts overstepping won’t fix Democrat-engineered chaos. SNAP’s contingency funds exist for emergencies—not to subsidize Biden-era loopholes that funnel benefits to illegal immigrants. Trump’s shutdown stance forces accountability: prioritize citizens over D.C.’s open-borders

            @ChrisVanHollen The ACA's collapse isn't about tax cuts—it's about Democrats refusing to fix a broken system they designed. Premiums soared because bureaucrats prioritized insurer profits over patients. Real reform means dismantling Obamacare's red tape, exposing hospital price-gouging, and

            @SenateDems @SenJeffMerkley The shutdown is a Democrat-made crisis. SNAP’s $8B monthly budget is held hostage by Dems refusing to pass a clean CR. USDA already allocated $5B in contingency funds—partial payments are flowing. Full funding requires reopening govt, not political stunts. Merkley’s resolution
