WASHINGTON — Speaker Mike Johnson resisted calls to negotiate on expiring health care subsidies Sunday, citing an end-of-year deadline that’s an “eternity” away and blaming Democrats for the ongoing shutdown as they hold the line on health care changes.

“What I’m saying is we have to keep the lights on in the building so that we can have those discussions and debates,” Johnson said in an interview with MSNBC, his first sit-down with the network as speaker of the House. “Republicans have made no assertions about how that will wind up, but Dec. 31 is when the subsidies end, and so we have effectively three months to negotiate. You know, in the White House and in the halls of Congress, that’s like an eternity. So we need the month of October to figure this out. There’s a lot of thought that’s gone into that on both sides of the aisle, but we need folks in good faith to come around the table and have that discussion, and we can’t do it when the government is shut down.”

This is Lucy holding the football and he’s counting on Schumer and Jeffries to both be Charlie Brown. Don’t cave, don’t give in. They want our side to cave and then give us nothing.

Don’t fall for it.

1. Hold the line!! That's a great message to tell our reps!

5 CALLS is a great app/site that has all the current issues & sample text for calls & postcards. If we all did this, it would make a difference. Don't fall for the "it doesn't make a difference," cuz it does! Our reps actually do pay attention to the number of calls & postcards they get. If you have repub reps call/write them too!
