Remember when I said that the ACA premium tax credit extensions that Democrats are asking for is popular. Well, when I say popular, I mean really popular. I mean like puppies and apple pie popular.According to new polling from the KFF, a whopping 78% of people say that Congress should extend those tax credits. That of course includes 92% of Democrats. No surprise, but also 82% of independents and even 59% of Republicans.Let's dig even deeper into that last number because this is very interesting. A full 57% ...

RT JD Vance (@JDVance)This is important--money is fungible--and it's why the Democrat and media lie that health care is not going to illegals is so preposterous. Consider, for instance, two state Medicaid programs--Ohio and New York. New York gives Medicaid to illegals and Ohio doesn't.When the government gives billions of dollars to New York for Medicaid, that frees up state money in New York that can then be spent on illegals.It's like if you give a mobster $100 but he PROMISES you he won't spend the mone ...

President J. D. Vance continued to pedal Republican claims that Democrats shut down the government in order to give undocumented immigrants free health care.Here is what he said in the briefing room yesterday. Again, not telling the truth. >> They have done instead is to shut down the government because we won't give billions of dollars to healthcare funding for illegal aliens.That is what has actually happened to the American people who are watching. The reason your government is shut down at this very min ...

RT Bloomberg Opinion (@opinion)“The Democrats have the ACA on the table. There are obvious reasons to focus on health care, but it’s coming at the cost of focusing on other things, such as the battle for constitutional democracy,” @TimOBrien says.Tune in here: https://t.co/9MaHGrBOy1 ...

Let's bring in former Democratic Senator John Tester from Montana and MSNBC political analyst. David Ducker is senior writer at The Dispatch and an MSNBC contributor. Guys, it's good to see you.Look, both sides say they don't want a shutdown. I can say I don't think the American people would like to have a shutdown.
