Tboy basically lied when he promised in 2021 that the new ACA subsidies were only temporary until Covid ended

I did? Must have been when I was on MSNBC or Fox News. There have been so many official policy statements. (Sarcasm)

Did anything you typed change what I said? It is almost like you don’t understand that folks are going to be sent home and will get back pay when they are called back to work…. When I see folks losing their jobs because of a government shutdown, it will be the first time…

CR until Nov 21.


This is the problem, stop it with the CR bullshite and pass a freaking budget . What does pushing it off 7 weeks do? Nothing. They can pass a CR and then they won't talk about it until Nov 14th, and that just lets the media say Trump is shutting down the government right before the holidays. This would be the dumbest move possible so it will be what the GOP does.

Congress doesn't care about this as the house has been on recess for a long time now.
