49. Stupidity squared!

Mon Nov 10, 2025, 08:57 AM

Monday

The Senate already voted on this and it did not pass and it won't pass whenever (if ever) the R[s deign to hold true to their promises - which generally meas never ever!! I am ashamed of the 8, and ashamed of the party that allowed this and my fear for America only grows! My son relies on the ACA and now won't be able to afford it, and he really needs surgery.
