Joining me now, Michigan Democratic Senator Gary Peters. It's good to see you, Senator. So, the Senate Majority Leader says it's on Democrats to get this done and that you don't have a path or a plan.Are Democrats the problem now. >> Uh, we are not the problem. I mean, we're the ones that have been fighting tooth and nail to get an extension. It's pretty clear that if we don't get an extension, we're going to have millions of people that are going to be priced out of uh getting health insurance that are goi ...

Yes, >> Congress has less than 30 days before health insurance premiums are set to jump for millions of Americans, and hope for an extension of those Affordable Care Act subsidies appears to be diminishing. Last month, you'll remember, Democrats agreed to reopen the government in exchange for a December healthc care vote in the Senate, and they were hoping to work with Republicans to extend those ACA tax credits. But a plan would require 60 votes to pass the Senate, and Republicans are struggling to rally a ...

I've been here 11 months in Congress and I can tell you that the only thing that congressional Republicans are more loyal to than Donald Trump is to cutting the health care of the American people. They do not want to solve this problem. They do not want to solve the fact that right now we are a month in to open enrollment under the Affordable Care Act and my constituents and constituents of colleagues around the country are seeing their healthcare premiums spike 100, 200, 300%.We may get a vote in the Senat ...

A DAY AFTER THE SHOOTING, TRUMP POSTED ON TRUE SOCIAL, HE WILL PERMANENTLY PAUSE MIGRATION FROM WHAT HE CALLS ALL THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES. HOURS LATER, THE US ANNOUNCED IT WAS PAUSING ALL.ASYLUM DECISIONS AND ISSUING VISAS TO PEOPLE FROM AFGHANISTAN. THE STATE DEPARTMENT ALSO ANNOUNCED IT WAS HALTING VISAS FOR AFGHANS, INCLUDING THOSE WHO HAD ALLIED WITH THE US AND HE ...

Congress is back in session tomorrow and the first item on the docket allegedly is healthcare. But their return may be overshadowed by Trump's reaction to the shooting of two National Guard troops in DC this week. With the administration halting all asylum decisions and visas for Afghan individuals, Trump spent part of the weekend this holiday ranting about Democrats and immigrant communities.And for six Democrats, they returned to Capitol Hill in the wake of Trump's FBI requesting interviews with them afte ...

Welcome back. And joining me now is House Democratic Leader Hakeim Jeff. Leader Jeff, it's great to see you.Thank you for taking the time tonight. I just want to start by by asking you about this shooting today, of course, in Washington. It it's of course the day before Thanksgiving.These these two National Guard members were away from their homes in West Virginia, following orders and and serving their country when they were shot today in Washington. I know you put out a statement earlier, but but what has ...

Neither the president nor the vice president were in Washington DC today when two West Virginia National Guard members were shot just blocks from the White House. Trump was in Florida at the time of the attack and JD Vance was visiting troops at Fort Campbell which straddles the Kentucky Tennessee border. The Tennessee side of that air base also happens to be in the seventh congressional district which just so happens to have a surprisingly competitive special election coming up next week.And I say it's sur ...

you know, as we've been predicting for weeks during the government shutdown when the president was overseas uh traveling uh on as as we said a very important trip uh for the United States security. Um we had suggested when he got back and focused on healthc care uh that he was probably going to have a different position than the Republicans who are running this issue into the ground. Well, he may be changing the White House stance on an extension of affordable healthcare. uh affordable care act subsidies. H ...
