only by local reporters--which, for the most part, tend to be more favorable to them.

Hell, they work hard for a little over a month since late September!

they can go home and celebrate with Republican Jesus.

Get ready next year for the "I wish I hadn't voted for him three times. I thought he was going after those criminal illegals,not MY affordable health care."

The state-run exchanges have their own unique names and went through an ACA approval process to exist.

I remember way back when some idiot in KY was quoted as angrily exclaiming that he "didn't want no 'Obamacare'" but "they better not mess with my 'kynect'" (which is Kentucky's exchange under the ACA).

are a federal agency and they know which one.

I know in Wisconsin it is BadgerCare. Many do not understand the programs they are cutting are the programs they use.

which eventually came about under the-then governor Tom Wolf in 2019 (effective 2020) after almost a decade with no state-controlled marketplace when the ACA was passed under (R) governor Tom Corbett (and residents used the federal marketplaces).

Since that rolled out during the pandemic, I sort of missed all of that as I knew none of the GOP here wanted anything to do with the ACA, but enough of the GOP-controlled legislature finally went along with us doing the state marketplaces.

“Keep the government out of my Medicare.”
Really hard to argue with anyone when that is their opening statement.

I’m worried about what’s gonna happen to all the people who are insured through the state and those whouse the clinics from Waimanalo to Waianae.

is the MAGAs are genetically incapable of such a statement.

Trump is NEVER wrong.

Rest up, buttercups, a new year's a dawning.

...it will serve the people by keeping them in office.

SHITZ!!

I wish someone would leak more of those files.

And I'm really not happy about increased medical insurance premiums - which I'm quite sure I'm not alone in that feeling.

Oh yeah, shine a light and watch the cockroaches scatter and hide.

would be.

Now we know.

I don't think it will help. This is and has been the most obvious coverup in U.S. history. I don't think it will work. They should just release the files, take the hit and move on.

The information will still come out, but in drips and drabs, which in the long run will cause the Trump Republicans more damage, than if they just released the files as soon as possible.

Pretty certain Trump was part of the business, along with Melania and Ivanna.

That's why they're scattering now. My guess is that MOST of the Repukes aren't going home, because the reporters know how to find them there. They're taking off for vacations at remote beaches or for skiing, wherever they can't be found.

Weasel chickenshits, that's what they are.

On the other hand, watch how many Democrats face the press and the voters. They will bravely answer questions wherever they can.

The GOP was running on the release of the Epstein files.

Now they are running FROM the release of the Epstein files.

The repubs are running away from everything now.
They think they can hide and voters will forget all about the destruction they have wrought.

But they are wrong (as usual).

They thought the Epstein story would die down during the shutdown.
Not so much they learned...

They think the ACA subsidies story will die down during their holiday break
but when they get back the premium increases will have hit and hit their voters the most.

They want to run away from a failing economy and destructive tarrifs
The damage they have done will become much clearer over the holiday break.

They want to run away from the fact that people from around the world no longer want to come to visit the USA
due to warnings of what could happen to them. Tourism has gone over the cliff.

They want to run from war and war crimes commited by their leader
This will also get much worse over their holiday break

As things get worse over the next few weeks I wonder just how many of these bootlicking repubs will actually choose to return to Washington to face the music?

If we are lucky, enough will chicken out or realize they're goose is cooked and quit over their break to give the Dems control of the house.

When that happens perhaps they will get a 3rd opportunity to convice and remove the felon in charge.

Maybe this time they will accept the help they desperately need.

One just announced yesterday - Dan Newhouse (R-WA). But that announcement was buried under an avalanche of Reiner and Brown University stories. He was one of the few (R)s who voted to impeach 45.

We PAY them to serve THE PEOPLE
Not PEDOPHILES
Fuck all of them

Wonder how many of them are named in the Epstein files?

(redacted), (redacted), (redacted), (redacted), (redacted), (redacted), (redacted), (redacted), (redacted) and (redacted). Just a few of them!

and the republicans scrambled under the bed, fearing the ghost of Christmas past!!!

ethically challenged, but no surprise.

absolute chickenshits!

They are republicans. They have zero integrity are desire to follow the law.

They need to bolt the door shut until the end of the business day on Friday.

3…2…1…

BOOM!

(epstein files? wat’s dat?)
