All you've done for the last 15 years is try to repeal, defund, deauthorize, and dismantle the Affordable Care Act with no alternative. No alternative. Give me a damn break.
Mike Johnson: "Let me look right into the camera and tell you very clearly: Republicans are the ones concerned about healthcare. Republicans are the party working around the clock everyday to fix healthcare. This is not talking points for us: we've done it."

So far, Trump has spent $1.8+ billion on his vanity projects since coming back into office.
Ā
Have you ever thought about what else we could have gotten for that money?

ALT Since he came back into office, Trump has spent $1.8+ billion on his vanity projects. What else could the American people have gotten with that money? 1,000,000 tanks of gas for a sedan 100,000 months of childcare 100,000 people whose previous annual out-of-pocket ACA marketplace premiums could be restored following GOP cuts 10,000 additional school teachers hired 10,000 people whose Medicaid coverage could be restored following GOP cuts 10,000 veterans whose medical expenditures could be covered for a year 1,000 new houses built And we'd still have $37 million left over!

Itās no wonder people on both sides of the border are opposed to this asinine trade war.
No one can afford to pay higher prices to sooth Donald Trumpās ego.

Trump is using our taxpayer dollars to create Trump TV and cut ads for himself ahead of November when heās not even a candidate.
And, to him, everyone else is a communist or socialist? Give me a break.

We must make mental health a bigger priority in everything we do and that includes the military.
Itās deeply distressing that eight suicide attempts took place during this record deployment, and disappointing that Trump and Hegseth called this fake news.
New: 8 Navy personnel assigned to USS Abraham Lincoln strike group attempted suicide during a period when ships were engaged in combat ops against Iran & the carrier set a modern record for its time at sea, per letter from serviceās acting secretary, obtained by CNN.

$4,500 may not be a lot of money to a billionaire but it sure is to most Vermont families.
Ā
New data shows that Trumpās agenda is making it even harder for folks to make ends meet than before.
ALT What could you do with an extra $4,500? That's how much the average Vermont household has now had to spend thanks to Trump's agenda.

Right on the heels of their settlement, the Ellisons and Paramount are considering bringing on ~noted nonpartisan~ Elon Musk (š) as an investor.
This is why it's such a big issue for CNN, CBS, and TikTok to be all under one roof. This merger is already looking like a disaster. semafor.com/article/09/23/20ā¦

Rep. Becca Balint retweeted
Wilber Garces Perez was shot in the back by an ICE agent in Austin. Now he's in detention with the bullet still in his body.
Today, 100+ Members of Congress are demanding that ICE get him medical care, stop trying to deport a key witness, and immediately release the video footage.

Itās disgusting that Trump seems to take pleasure in dangling the āannihilationā of a country over them while making crystal clear he has a diplomatic path right in front of him.
Americans don't want this illegal mess of a war and itās long past time for Congress to end it.
President Trump says Iran deal will be made after the midterm elections, and says he has decision between a deal with Iran or destroying them: "Or do I annihilate the Islamic Republic and do it quickly, never giving them a chance to kill and destroy people and countries again?"

Between his war in Iran and absurd tariffs with our closest allies, Trump is making hardworking Vermonters pay a lot more for their essentials.āØ
Remember that these are policy choices the administration has made. They can reverse course at any time - they're choosing not to.

The solidarity we saw from the TV networks covering the White House today MATTERS.
Trump had an event this afternoon but since no mics were there, he was just shouting into the void.

For generations, Vermonters and Quebecers have shared families, communities, and deeply close connections.

But even with that in mind, weāre still facing the fallout from stunts that Kristi Noem pulled, and we have small businesses that wonāt survive this trade war.

It is BAD for our country that CBS, CNN, & TikTok will all now be under one roof and owned by a billionaire who's been kissing up to Trump.
We've seen corporations promise the moon to get their deal approved and then, time and time again, they ignore those same promises.
We need to stop corrupt mergers and break up media monopolies. This settlement falls short.

This is the solidarity we need.
Thank you to all involved for standing together - and for standing up for the First Amendment.
BREAKING: TV pool will not be providing coverage of presidential events until further notice b/c of CNN's ban, pool chair and FOX News Washington Bureau Chief Bryan Boughton said.
It's effectively a boycott by the fellow members ā ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX:

The ātalking pointā that President Biden banned 400 journalists from the White House is not true. But Republican officials are still trying to spread it.
We always have to call this type of thing out and stand up for the truth.
