If republicans don’t restore the healthcare funding and make it recission-proof, then the cuts will kick in, premiums will skyrocket, and the suffering will be widespread, sparing no one from either party.

As awful as it will be, it works in our favor, and could lead to a revolution at the polls in 2026.

The rumours and rumblings from Swallwell and Timothy Snyder about the GOP turning against Trump are pretty clear evidence that Dems have the advantage and momentum…now if they can just maintain their courage…
