Speaker Johnson claiming subsidies last til 'end of year' in Sept?? Bro they EXPIRED end of 2025 — that's ancient history by now 💀🗑️😭
Letters from Blue Cross and private insurers, not made up — Personal Story (75/100)
'I didn't make those letters up' — defensive much? But Blue Cross *did* get 11.2% hike approval, so yeah, receipts incoming 📄✅😏
Big Beautiful Bill passed July 4th due to Speaker Johnson, caused less insurance — Verified (95/100)

Dropping the 'bridge to sell you' line like it's fresh — classic shade, but it's pure partisan spice, not a subpoena-worthy fact 💀🙄
