16 years ago today, the Affordable Care Act became law. Healthcare has become less affordable ever since. All to enrich the wealthy elites in the insurance industry. Obama ruined it, and republicans have been too weak to do anything about it.

This article provides a solid overview of Russiagate, but it gets one major fact wrong. The media did not suddenly discover after the election that Steele was funded by Clinton. They knew all along. Here’s an excerpt from my book on that:

@Jacfnp1 @JohnCornyn Karl Rove is having them fill out mail in ballots right now.

@JohnCornyn How many democrats will vote for the rino in May? Just enough to push this pos across to the general...

Just like the primary. How’d that turnout?

@JohnCornyn @mboyle1 Sounds like the Bush/Rove crew are getting ready to cheat again. Watch out @KenPaxtonTX

11 States and D.C. reported having more registered voters than citizens of voting-age in 2024: -Alaska -Colorado -Delaware -D.C. -Georgia -Kentucky -Maryland -Massachusetts -Michigan -Nevada -New Jersey -South Dakota

The FBI says that it was Adam Schiff that signed off on the leaking of classified information regarding Russiagate. Lock him up.

@LeaderJohnThune Senate Republicans, Do not recess. Forgo your Easter vacation. Stay in Washington, DC, until the DHS is fully funded & the SAVE America Act is signed into law. Senators, you will forever be lauded as heroes & champions for America. Do the right thing. No recess.

@LeaderJohnThune For the good of the country, you must step down. We’re done with you and your backstabbing.

Colin McDonald is a career prosecutor who’s spent years taking on fraud, corruption, and money laundering. He’s well-suited to lead DOJ’s new fraud enforcement division and provide justice for American taxpayers.

President Trump hit the nail on the head. Tell Colorado Governor Jared Polis to commute Tina Peters’ sentence: article3project.quorum.us/campaign/TinaP…

Listen up, because this shit makes my blood boil. We’re the goddamn United States of America. The most powerful military force that has ever existed on this planet. We just spent weeks dropping JDAMs, Tomahawks, and bunker-busters on Iran like it’s the Fourth of July on steroids. We turned their missile production sites, IRGC command centers, and half their air defense network into glowing parking lots. We lost pilots, we lost drones, we burned through billions—and after all of that, the mullahs are still sitting in Tehran sipping tea and giving victory speeches on state TV? That’s not “limited success.” That’s a national humiliation on a scale we haven’t seen since we pulled helicopters off the roof in Saigon while the world watched. You don’t get to flex the most expensive, most lethal military ever built, tell the American people this is finally the moment we stop screwing around with the world’s number-one state sponsor of terrorism, put the fear of God (and F-35s) back into every dictator’s heart—and then walk away because “regime change is hard” and “the intel says they might actually get stronger.” Stronger? STRONGER?! They’re parading kids with AKs in the streets right now chanting “Death to America” while their economy is in the toilet, their currency is toilet paper, half their oil infrastructure is smoking rubble, and the only reason they’re still standing is because we apparently forgot how to finish a goddamn war. If we stop here—if we let these medieval theocrats keep their thrones, keep their nuclear hedge, keep their proxy empire, keep humiliating us on the world stage—then every single son of a bitch from Beijing to Pyongyang to Caracas is going to look at that and think the same thing: “America talks big, swings big… but when it matters, they flinch. They quit. They settle for selfies with smoking craters and call it victory.” That’s not deterrence. That’s advertising weakness to every enemy we have. We told the world we were done playing games. We told them the era of tolerating Iranian imperialism, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and nuclear blackmail was over. And if the final chapter of this operation ends with Supreme Leader 2.0 waving from a balcony while we slink back to aircraft carriers like we just lost a bar fight, then we didn’t just fail Iran policy—we disgraced the entire post-WWII reputation of American power. I didn’t sign up to be part of the country that starts wars it’s too timid to win. Either go all the way and give the Iranian people the chance to bury that regime in the ash heap of history like every other tyrannical shit-hole we’ve actually finished—or don’t start the damn thing in the first place. Half-measures against people who chant “Death to America” aren’t strategy. They’re surrender with extra ordnance. And I’ll be goddamned if I’m going to watch the United States of America become the biggest paper tiger in history on my watch. Finish it. Or don’t bother. But don’t you dare call this winning.

BREAKING: US officials say they believe it is 'unlikely' to achieve goals including 'overthrowing Iran's theocratic regime and putting a nuclear weapon permanently out of reach', according to Washington Post report.

What the actual hell are you talking about????!!! You promised families would save $2,500 a year on premiums. Individual market premiums increased 105% in just the first four years. Over the life of your law, premiums are up over 220% "If you like your plan, you can keep your plan." You said that over and over. You knew it wasn't true. And when 7 million people had their plans canceled, you just... moved on. No accountability. And the fraud. Let's talk about the fraud. 6.4 million Americans were improperly enrolled in enhanced tax credits... ...costing taxpayers $27 BILLION!!!!! Another 1.6 million were simultaneously collecting both Medicaid AND ACA subsidies!!!! You didn't make healthcare affordable. You made lying about healthcare affordability look easy. And apparently that's still free...

🚨 JUST IN: ICE agents were just spotted actively ASSISTING Americans through TSA at Houston airport Democrats wanted you to believe ICE was there to TERRORIZE families In reality, they’re helping, and Americans appreciate it 🇺🇸👏🏻

None of it is organic.

@SenatorTimScott Get the SAVE AMERICA ACT passed NOW or get rid of Thune and get a Leader who represents the voters. Do any @GOP SENS besides @BasedMikeLee know what time it is? We are done with the Chamber of Commerce/Bush @GOP.

The Democrats have blocked DHS funding 14 times. Their reckless political games have caused chaos across airports. Fund DHS. Pay our TSA agents. End the shutdown!

🧵 THREAD: "House of Singham" : Neville Singham's mega-exposure. This is part 1 out of 5 in a mega-project exposing Neville Singham and his money flows. Honored to have been friends with @AsraNomani throughout this. I'm going to explain this article below - but you should also click through it, because it shows the amazing depth and scope of research which Asra has done. 👇 As always, patience as I pull together the thread.

‼️ ATTENTION INDIANA ‼️ THREAD: 🚨 Long-Time Mike Pence @Mike_Pence Ally Daniel Elliott Has Failed to Stand for MAGA Policies During His Tenure As Indiana’s Treasurer 🚨 As the 2026 midterm elections get closer, it’s important to highlight lesser known candidates and elected officials who have obstructed President Trump and his MAGA agenda. As Indiana State Treasurer Daniel Elliott’s @DanielElliottIN reelection date nears, it is expected that Elliott will attempt to sell his policies as “pro-MAGA” to Indiana voters, given President Trump’s unquestioned popularity in the Hoosier State. However, the facts show that Elliott has failed to uphold his oath and promise to Republican voters to stand for MAGA policies. Elliott’s policies have ushered in DEI in the state marketplace, while at the same time, Elliott embraced Mike Pence’s strategy of punting on the Indiana redistricting fight. During the height of the Indiana redistricting fight, Mike Pence chose to punt on the issue instead of supporting President Trump and Indiana Republicans who were pushing for a more favorable Republican map to counter California’s redistricting efforts. Pence responded to questions about the redistricting by saying, “I would defer, whatever angst it creates for people, I would simply defer to the state legislatures and the governors to determine what they think is appropriate… whether it be in Indiana, Texas, California, or anywhere else.” It is also important to note that the President and Vice President of Mike Pence’s 501c3/4 Advancing American Freedom came out against President Trump and Indiana Republicans’ redistricting plans, with Advancing American Freedom’s president Tim Chapman @TimChapman posting to his X account: “There is nothing conservative about backing threats to a state’s federal funding because it declines to push a President’s own political agenda.” Pence and his allies refusing to support Indiana’s redistricting efforts seemingly had a marching orders effect, as Indiana Treasurer Daniel Elliott, who is a longtime supporter of Pence, was one of the only Indiana Republicans to remain on the sidelines during the redistricting fight. Indiana voters should take note of this very important fact ahead of the Indiana state primary elections in May of 2026. But sadly, as of now, Elliott is running for re-election unopposed. RECEIPTS 👇🏻

@Bannons_WarRoom @mrddmia You are screeching at the wrong people. The Dems are NEVER coming on board. Time to direct all messages to THUNE & THE OBSTRUCTIONIST @GOP E/NT. CALL THEM OUT BY NAME. FORCE THUNE TO ACT OR GO & GET RID OF MITCH AS HEAD OF RULES. Make all @GOP SENS PUBLICLY declare their vote

MIKE DAVIS: The SAVE America Act has 80% support of Americans, including a supermajority of Democrats and a supermajority of minorities even. If you can't get legislation through the Senate when it has that much popular support, you should not be in the Senate. @mrddmia

@SenTimKaine You destroyed our healthcare system. Everyone who can do basic addition understood this is what would happen. You looked at the American people, blatantly lied and made healthcare unaffordable.

It’s the Affordable Care Act’s 16th anniversary. Today, I’m frustrated that the GOP is hellbent on destroying it and allowed ACA enhanced premium tax credits to expire last year—raising health care costs for millions. We must restore those tax credits and strengthen the ACA.

The @realDonaldTrump plan makes Rural Health stronger in all 50 states.
