They would rather have us focus in and debate a misunderstood and vulnerable one percent of the population instead of focusing in on the fact that they are raiding everyone's healthcare in order to pay for tax breaks for the wealthiest one percent. All Republican politicians care about is making the rich richer and attacking trans people. They are obsessed with trans people. I actually think they think more about trans people than trans people think about trans people. They are consumed with this.

"They would rather have us focus in and debate a misunderstood and vulnerable one percent of the population," she said during a press scrum outside the Capitol with out Rep. Julie Johnson (D-TX) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), "instead of focusing in on the fact that they are raiding everyone's health care in order to pay for tax breaks for the wealthiest one percent."

Like many artists, Voynovskaya, is trying to navigate a rocky economy and policy shifts that could make health care harder to attain. Voynovskaya is insured through the Affordable Care Act marketplace, also known as Covered California. The ACA subsidizes insurance premiums through tax credits, making coverage affordable to many. But some of those tax credits are set to expire at the end of the year, raising premiums for more than 74,600 people in Alameda County.

Johnson, R-La., huddled behind closed doors in the morning - as he did days earlier this week - working to assemble the package for consideration as the House focuses the final days of its 2025 work on health care. "House Republicans are tackling the real drivers of health care costs to provide affordable care," Johnson said in a statement announcing the package. He said it would be voted on next week.

Well, I say that if you don't have a better plan, then get on board with ours, he said. But doing nothing is not an option, right? He continued: I mean, I've heard so many people in the Republican conference rail on the Affordable Care Act, rail on Obamacare, rail on the premium tax credits. And if you want to criticize something, that's okay as long as you have a better alternative. They have never offered a better alternative.

In the final segment of the show, I will discuss the book They Thought They Were Free, by Milton Mayer, a 1955 study of a small German community where people had to come to terms with the terrible things that were done by them, by their neighbors, and by their government during the Third Reich. It's a book full of historical interest, but also with implications for any society trying to come to terms with its past to build a better and more honorable future.

I am recommending to Senate Republicans that the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars currently being sent to money sucking Insurance Companies in order to save the bad Healthcare provided by ObamaCare, BE SENT DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE SO THAT THEY CAN PURCHASE THEIR OWN, MUCH BETTER, HEALTHCARE,

On Sunday, eight Senate Democrats voted to advance a Republican bill to fund and reopen the federal government, which shut down on Oct. 1. Republicans control the chamber 53-47, but 60 votes were needed to overcome a procedural hurdle known as cloture. The eight Democrats gave the bill the 60 votes it needed, as one Republican voted against the measure.

Schumer, who has led the Democratic caucus in the Senate since 2017, voted against the resolution. However, the group of Senate Democrats who voted for the deal had conferred with Schumer through the negotiation process, and thus had his tacit approval. The deal, which many other Democrats have denounced as "terrible" and a betrayal, was advanced in a vote on Sunday evening, in one of the first steps to reopen the government after a historic shutdown.

It's the right thing for the American people. You should not be negotiating important issues, in this case, the Affordable Care Act and Medicaid under an extortionary situation where you're holding the government hostage.
