Yeah, it's stupid to try to make it about healthcare. We need some idiots to learn from touching the stove that touching the stove is bad and they shouldn't do it again. Last Trump admin Dems worked to alleviate the effects of his policies on millions of voters and got no credit for it.  He just slapped his name on the checks they had worked to pass. There are lots of people who need to experience the results of what they voted for. 

It'd make more sense, and would have better public appeal, to simply say that Dems are in the minority and have no control over the outcome, but that they will not co-sign a lawless dictatorship that steals from taxpayers for his own purposes and benefit.  But they're so fucking policy brained they can't help themselves.

They just need to hammer home if this budget bill passes your healthcare premiums will almost double next year and say that over and over and over and over

Steering this back to real world impact, Russ Vought has determined that furloughed feds aren’t entitled to back pay, although Congress and nearly everyone else believed they passed a law in 2019 which says exactly that.  
 

I FULLY expect the Supreme Court to rule that the move is likely illegal, but unfortunately the people who miss paychecks don’t have standing to sue for them.

Right.  As I understand it, the issue the Dems are rallying around in this shutdown is the extension of ACA tax credits.  This isn't about employer-provided insurance, it's about those who get their insurance via the ACA marketplace, which in 2025 is about 24 million people.

Take those 24 million mostly healthy and young individuals out of the overall insurance pool and the whole system pays for the increase. That’s why I said just tell people their insurance premiums will be 75% higher if this passes and when it passes, if they kill the filibuster shout from the rooftops on every fucking program, this is Trump’s fault.

Not approving of this message, but I think it's not worthy that our POTUS is posting ITYSL memes about it.

Well yeah, but this is misrepresenting the facts. Shocker.
