Jääkiekon nuorten MM-kisat 26. joulukuuta alkaen TV5 ja HBO Maxilla Oof, MAGA Mike Johnson has shut down the House of Representatives. He's sending all of the members home. He's saying it's time to go on an early vacation. This as he's totally lost control of the House of Representatives. Four MAGA Republicans joined forces with the Democrats to put forward a discharge petition that would force a vote for a three-year extension on the Affordable Care Act subsidies. Certain so-called moderate Republicans who are not all that moderate were trying to propose different solutions in order to extend the Affordable Care Act subsidies via discharge petitions. They ended up getting into a fight with each other so they could actually propose nothing.
And you had Democratic leader, Hakeem Jeffries, hold his ground and say, that's not what the American people want. They want a clean three-year extension of the Affordable Care Act subsidies. Meanwhile, MAGA Mike and other MAGA leadership was telling those so-called moderate Republicans that we will absolutely kill any bill, any discharge petition that has any extension at all of the Affordable Care Act subsidies. So what went down yesterday was that those four Republicans joined forces with the Democrats, they effectuated the discharge petition, and rather than allow it to ripen now, MAGA Mike calls a vacation. He says we're all leaving. This way he can avoid a vote on the discharge petition to extend the Affordable Care Act subsidies.
And he wants to push it until later in January. And this assures that the Affordable Care Act subsidy extension will expire when it expires on December 31st. Folks, this is as cruel as it gets. Republican base support another health care plan that had nothing to do with extending the Affordable Care Act subsidies. But what it actually did is in Section 202, it limited women's reproductive rights and basically stopped funding for any plans that would provide women's reproductive rights in blue states as well. So it would effectively kill women's reproductive rights in blue states or severely harm them if you were on an existing plan. So not only did MAGA Mike refuse to extend the Affordable Care Act subsidies, he took the lack of extended Affordable Care Act subsidies and said, let's screw women's reproductive rights.
So MAGA Mike is running through the halls of Congress and he's saying, I haven't lost control. I haven't lost control. This as he's lost control of the House, as those four Republicans were like, okay, well, if we can't support an extension of the Affordable Care Act subsidies because, MAGA Mike, you're killing it, we're going to join forces with the Democrats. And Hakeem Jeffries held his ground, and those Republicans sided with Jeffries. Watch MAGA Mike run away right after he shuts down the House and says, everybody's going home. Here, play this clip. Now, before MAGA Mike shut it down and you see him running in the hallways there saying, I haven't lost control, I haven't lost control. Democratic leader, Hakeem Jeffries wrote, urgent update, our bipartisan petition to force a vote on a straightforward extension of the Affordable Care Act tax credits now has 218 signatures.
Mike Johnson should bring the bill to the floor immediately. Mike Johnson's response, vacation. We're all going home. We're shutting it down. Just how irresponsible, how immature, and how dangerous that is, right?
