Fortum presents Olavi Vaari playing his favourite instrument. Hmm, beautiful. But let's add a little energy.
More discharge petitions are circulating in the House of Representatives.
as a full-fledged MAGA revolt is underway. Again, Speaker MAGA Mike Johnson, let's get into it. And folks, a reminder, hit subscribe, help this YouTube channel get 6 million subscribers. You may think you're subscribed, but you may not actually be subscribed. So just take a look right now. So MAGA Mike Johnson is refusing to allow for there to be a vote for the extension of the Affordable Care Act subsidies, which officially expire on December 1st. 31st, where Americans' healthcare premiums will double, triple, quadruple, and tens of millions of Americans will lose their healthcare. This is a dire emergency situation right now. MAGA Mike said he had a plan, he doesn't have a plan. So the MAGA Republicans saw what was able to be accomplished with the discharge petition to release the Epstein files, which, by the way, those Epstein files released is about a week away from being due.
We'll make sure we continue to cover that. But now the MAGA Republicans are pushing through discharge petitions to extend the Affordable Care Act subsidies because they realize their constituents are going to die if these Affordable Care Act subsidies are not extended. And also, you have MAGA Republicans circulating a discharge petition regarding stock trading by MAGA Republican Congress members and Congress members, frankly, from all parties. Ana Paulina Luna. And then when it gets to the Affordable Care Act subsidies, you have two separate discharge petitions that are circulating there. You have one discharge petition that's authored by MAGA Republican Congressmember Brian Fitzpatrick. and jared golden that would extend expiring tax credits for two years while imposing new eligibility requirements and then there's another discharge petition by mega republican congresswoman jen kiggins and josh gotheimer a democrat and that would extend the affordable care act subsidies by one year
to allow for there to then be other plans, but at least it gets a one-year. Now, what the Democrats' position is, is that they want at least a three-year extension. They just want to have a vote, but Maga Mike's refusing for there to be a vote on the House floor. So these MAGAs are basically saying, look, we need to do a discharge petition because we saw what happened this past Tuesday in Miami and in that Georgia House race, where Democrats outperformed prior elections to the tune of 14 to 25 points. We saw what happened with the blue tsunami back in November, Democrats also performing. And MAGA Republicans realize that if they don't extend these Affordable Care Act subsidies, people in their communities and their constituents are going to die.
and they're going to lose their jobs. So let's just go show you what some of these MAGAs are saying. This is MAGA Republican Brian Fitzpatrick. Here's what he had to say.
Here, play this clip. Well, I say that if you don't have a better plan, then get on board with ours. But doing nothing is not an option, right? I mean, I've heard so many people in the Republican conference rail on the Affordable Care Act, rail on Obamacare, rail on the premium tax credits. And if you want to criticize something, that's okay as long as you have a better alternative.
