  1. I have to give #MikeJohnson credit. He hasn't made himself rich being #SpeakerOfTheHouse. Everyone else is cashing in, making millions. He is only worth $350,000. He has principle and strength of character. He is doing it just because he truly loves the taste of #Trump's ass.

    Health care proposal floated by White House runs into familiar GOP divisions – PBS News

    Politics, Nov 26, 2025 1:48 PM EST

    WASHINGTON (AP) — A health care proposal circulated by the White House in recent days is running into the reality of Republican divisions on the issue — a familiar struggle for a party that has been trying to scrap or overhaul the Affordable Care Act for the past 15 years.

    The tentative proposal from President Donald Trump would extend expiring ACA subsidies for two years while adjusting eligibility requirements for recipients. The plan has so far been met with a stony silence on Capitol Hill as Republicans debate among themselves whether to overhaul the law, tweak it or simply let the subsidies expire.

    It’s unclear now when the White House plan might be released, or if it will be released at all.

    The Republican indecision comes as the COVID-era tax credits are set to expire Jan. 1, creating sharp premium increases for millions of Americans. Democrats who shut down the government for six weeks over the issue are demanding a straight extension with no changes, though some indicated they could support a plan similar to the one circulated by the White House.

    But support may be harder to find in the GOP conference, where many lawmakers say costs are still too high and have been eager to make another run at repealing the ACA. The last effort in 2017 failed when Republicans couldn’t decide on how to provide coverage to millions of Americans who depend on government-run marketplaces for their health care. It’s a dilemma that persists for the party after record numbers signed up for coverage this year.

    Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., promised a group of moderate Democrats a vote on the ACA tax credits by mid-December in exchange for their votes to end the government shutdown. But it’s unclear, so far, whether that arrangement will lead to a solution.

  13. @carkner @cbcnews fails to show how #Cons harass, catcall and totally disrespect the honour of the #HouseOfCommons on a daily basis. And the #SpeakerOfTheHouse #GregFergus either lacks the capacity to demand order or the strength of character to stand up to these vulgar displays of childish boorish behaviours. #EnoughIsEnough Anyone watching the proceedings must be mortified and ashamed of such a complete immaturity and lack of statesmanship. #MuchRespectNDP

  15. Mike Johnson : "There are weirdos in the bathroom."
    He saw one in the women's mirror himself!

    His son's watching this on their shared Anti Porn App 😆

  17. In the #Red Corner, hailing from a tiny piece of the #WisconsinFist most people wouldn't want anything to do with, our Speaker of the House, Robin Vos!

    As you may have guessed, folks, he doesn't see many #challengers

    Good for him. He's worth #millions and he's mayor ( #StreetMayor ) of his own #private #universe

    The #problem is, he maintains that same level of "Street Mayor" #smugness when overseeing the House for the entire State of Wisconsin!

    #WTAF

    #BOO

    #Forward march!
