At about this time in 1806, future President Andrew Jackson faces Charles Dickinson in one of the most famous duels in American history.

The whole idea of "incompetent to stand trial" is fucking nonsense. If you're too "incompetent" to understand that you shouldn't butcher an innocent woman on the train, you should die. Period. Arrest, convict, execute. You are not fit to be a part of human society. How many more innocent people must we sacrifice for the sake of coddling and babying the absolute scum of the Earth? Our ancestors had it right. They would have had this guy hanging from the gallows an hour after conviction. The old system of justice was light years better than this insane bullshit we're dealing with now.
✅FACT: The COVID Obamacare subsidies go directly to profitable insurance companies, not the patient.
✅FACT: Extending them doesn’t lower premiums, it just hides who’s footing the bill.
✅FACT: They don't lower healthcare costs for the other 130-160 million Americans who aren't on the exchange.
I refuse to support a funding bill that fails to address the Republican health care crisis.
And make health insurance affordable.
The American people clearly understand the stakes and the urgency. We must too.
I'm voting no.
Losing the healthcare subsidy shows everybody just how expensive the insurance companies have made healthcare. The doctors didn’t do this. Change is needed now.
I just voted against this funding bill because health care costs are skyrocketing. The only thing Trump knows how to do is give tax cuts to rich people, while screwing over working Americans.
@JohnStossel Our healthcare is not the problem. Insurance is. Doctors and hospitals should charge everyone the same rate. Just like when we get gas or groceries. Same price for everyone. Doctors and hospitals will compete for our business. Insurance companies will make less. Replace ACA.

Many Americans say the United States should follow Europe’s example: free healthcare, generous welfare benefits, protection for workers...
But what they don’t tell you is that Europe is falling behind:
On Monday, I will ask President Trump, via X, to help save my life. He offered to help me if I needed it.
I need it.
As many of you know, I have metastasized prostate cancer.
My healthcare provider, Kaiser of Northern California, has approved my application to receive a newly FDA-approved drug called Pluvicto. But they have dropped the ball in scheduling the brief IV to administer it and I can’t seem to fix that.
I am declining fast. I will ask President Trump if he can get Kaiser of Northern California to respond and schedule it for Monday. That will give me a fighting chance to stick around on this planet a little bit longer.
It is not a cure, but it does give good results to many people.
“I’m completely convinced that our problems could be solved by 3 things.”
“1. Term limits.
2. Single item bills.
3. Congress can’t stock trade.”
“F*ck these people.”
Is she wrong? I don’t think so!
It’s amazing to me that those in Washington DC don’t realize that this is what we need fixed asap. Insurance premiums are more than a mortgage in many cases. Everyone needs to be discussing this.
American father of 3 is considering cancelling his family’s health insurance even through it “feels very irresponsible.” He just can’t afford it anymore
He pays
-$1,500 a month in premiums
- Each person in his family has a $6,000 deductible
So he would have to spend “$30,000 in co-pays that we have to pay on top of the $18,000 in monthly charges to actually get coverage.”
‘Health insurance is the biggest scam’
More of my Republican colleagues are finally talking about the unaffordable health insurance crisis, but yesterday on our GOP conference call Speaker Johnson said he has ideas and pages of policy, but did not say a single policy plan.
I think that is unacceptable.
Democrats created this nightmare 15 years ago, then made it worse in 2021 by extending the ACA tax credits that are now expiring, and I find it unacceptable that Republicans are sitting on the sidelines doing nothing to fix this healthcare disaster that is leading many Americans into financial ruin.
America gave us the House and Senate majority and entrusted us to legislatively deliver the agenda they voted for, and along with that comes the responsibility to help Americans.
America First, remember?
Not leave Americans wondering if or when Congress will finally fix the healthcare industry, while they look ahead not knowing if they will even be able to afford health insurance.
Democrats are complaining day in and day out about the coming massive insurance hikes because of the expiring tax credits that they put in place, as the healthcare exchange rates go back to the original Obamacare system Democrats put in place.
By doing so, they are admitting they screwed the whole health insurance system up and they are admitting original Obamacare is now way too expensive.
Republicans it’s time to build the off ramp off of Obamacare in a responsible way, deregulate healthcare and pharmaceuticals and demand price transparency across the board, and incentivize the market in such a way to open up competition which will drive down cost.
Pick up your bat and ball and get in the game.
As Representatives, it’s our responsibility to lead and work for our districts.
Our districts voted for us.
Our districts sent us to Congress.
No one else. No one or any lobby deserves our loyalty and support.
Only our districts.
No I do not support the ACA/Obamacare, it has made health insurance totally unaffordable and over regulated doctors.
No, I do not support Healthcare For All. We are $37 trillion in debt and I will never support the government controlling your healthcare. Remember COVID lockdowns, masks and vaccine mandates, government taking away access to life saving Ivermectin? Not doing anything like that ever again!
No, I do not support illegal immigration or illegal labor. I want secure borders like we have now and I want the drug and human trafficking billion dollar cartel industry out of America.
No, I am not pro abortion. I love babies. All of them. I think they are a gift from God.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Have a nice day! 😊
