For 11 years, gop states have refused to expand Medicaid, killing their own citizens out of spite for the ACA.
The American Rescue Plan includes $34 Billion to coax the holdouts to sanity. I'm praying state leaders like TN republicans stop clinging to cruelty and do this.
The 12 states that *still* refuse to expand Medicaid through the ACA are AL GA FL KS MS NC SC SD TN TX WI WY.
Future generations will be stunned by republicans who killed thousands of their own neighbors just to spite President Obama and the ACA. motherjones.com/politics/2021/…
I want to reiterate: these states have thrown away billions and killed their neighbors because of petty hatred for Barack Obama and the ACA.
Our American Rescue Plan offers them ever more to save lives. At long last will the holdouts end their zealotry? clarionledger.com/story/news/202…
Here's an example of that republican cruelty.
After the Missouri gop blocked Medicaid expansion for years, voters finally passed it. Now republicans wants to subvert democracy and keep blocking it.
On January 25 I became the first member calling for the entire Postal board to be fired for their silence and complicity in trump and dejoy’s attempts to subvert the election and destroy the Post Office.
Trump confessed he was wrecking @USPS to rig the election. His toady Postmaster General dejoy carried out that arson. It’s time to clean house.
Dejoy should be fired but also prosecuted. In August I called for dejoy to face criminal subversion charges. huffpost.com/entry/trump-de…
Today we will enact final passage of maybe the most important bill I've ever voted on: President Biden's American Rescue Plan. I want to break down some of its parts (🧵)
Our #AmericanRescuePlan sends money *directly* to you and your family and will save 1 Million worker pensions.
The #AmericanRescuePlan invests big in public schools so we can safely reopen them as soon as possible, while keeping teachers and staff protected.
After losing badly in November, republicans across America are working feverishly to make voting more difficult, close polling locations, purge voter rolls, and block absentee voting.
The gop wants a rebirth of Jim Crow.
In 2013, the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act, opening the door to republicans’ attempts to bring back Jim Crow.
Today we will pass #HR1 to revive the VRA and protect your right to vote from gop war on democracy.
Tonight in the House we will pass perhaps the most important bill I've ever voted on: Pres Biden's #AmericanRescuePlan. I want to break down some of its parts (🧵)

🚨 The @USATODAY editorial board is echoing my call to fire the entire USPS Board of Governors so we can start to rebuild your Post Office. usatoday.com/story/opinion/…
On Jan 25 I was the first member of Congress calling for @POTUS to fire the entire USPS top leadership. They’re complicit in dejoy’s destruction. Americans are fed up. It’s time to clean house.
This year Congress will focus on preserving the Post Office for the next century. We will again pass the USPS Fairness Act mcconnell blocked for 333 days.
