“….For hundreds of years Germany was good enough to receive these elements, although they possessed nothing except infectious political and physical diseases. What they possess today, they have by a very large extent gained at the cost of the less astute German nation by the most reprehensible manipulations….” – Adolf Hitler – January 30, 1939

Yesterday:

Congressman Mark Alford
[December 8, 2025]

Securing America isn’t optional — it’s our duty.
[….]
BIG TENT IDEAS

REP. MARK ALFORD: Time To Counter Escalating Radical Islam Menace In America

‘After an era of open borders and the left’s continued efforts to stifle reasonable debate about the effects of third world immigration, America grapples with the corrosive advance of radical Islam.’

CONGRESSMAN
MARK ALFORD

Bigot.

Every right wingnut accusation is a confession.

Some of the responses:

Mark, you are falling deeper into the trap of the national christian movement.

He’s always been there.

I thought big tents had room for all kinds? Which one of us is confused? 🤔

We have a big tent for those that want to assimilate to American culture. Goat humpers need not apply.

They’re so open about it these days.

Just curious, what border do we share with an Islamic country?

trump invites them to the white house and they give him expensive gifts, money or business deals that benefit the orange man or the organization

Christians accept secularism. Islam does not.

Oh my.

==========

So how are we vetting Qatari airmen coming here to train?

By the amount they can afford to pay Trump.

==========

Look out everyone it’s the boogeyman!

Let’s talk about the Christian nationalist version of Sharia law

Actually, this islamaphobic rant and fear mongering IS A TOOL of Xian Nationalism. (Not calling them “Christian” because Jesus would say “I never knew you.”)

Been thinking the samething for awhile. Christian National are ok with religious control as long as they are their laws.

==========

Where in your district do you perceive this threat?

in the far reaches of what used to be Mark’s brain.

==========

Instead of uniting, this guy is taking our money just to divide us. Unity is our strength!! Make America UNITE again

What about the radical fascism in America right now?

I think the actual problem is the corrosive advance of radical christian nationalism.

Time to counter xenophobia in America.

We getting after that radical Christian movement too? Lol

First they came for….

“…Not this time…”

So anyone thats not far right wing and white is fair game

We are not scared. We see you.

Yeah? Where?

Accepting others is an American value. You guys talked the same way about my Irish ancestors when they came over.

Xenophobic much?

First deal with the ongoing violent threat from radical-right Christian nationalists.

I suppose Christian Extremism is better somehow.

The Daily Caller? That’s like referencing the National Enquirer!

An insult directed at the National Enquirer.

Do you happen to have crime stats for folks who say they’re Christians?

By “securing” don’t you really mean “only white people” in America?

The Daily Caller???? LOL!!!!

Another divisive message from a radical politician.

Mark look at the comments.
Think deeply about your dignity and integrity.
These things you’re allowing will be held against you.

Missouri’s 4th district drama queen has spoken

Why don’t we deal with all religious fundamentalists. For starters let’s tax all the churches!

Ohhhh a religious war. Those are always successful

And when the fk have Republicans ever wanted “reasonable debate”?

There’s that.

Far more worried about the rise of white Christian nationalism and fascism, which has taken hold in the highest echelons of government.

Can we do something about the radical Christians trying to take over our country?

The radical “Christians” are a bigger problem. Do something about them.

I’m more concerned about radical christianity. They’re the ones running roughshod over our civil liberties in this country.

Do you ever listen to or learn anything outside the MAGA echo chamber?

Make America Hate Again!

More fear propaganda.

Isn’t there enough hate here?

Too much.

The Daily Caller? You want us to take this post seriously?
Hilarious!

Rep Mark Alford – please give one example of this “menace” here in district 4. We’ll wait.

The only religious threat this country faces, comes from Christianity.

Every fascist needs a scapegoat.

Radical White Supremacy? Radical Brown Shirt “policing”? Radical Klan cults? These are imminent threats. What are you doing about mitigating these threats?

If a government built around religious fanaticism is wrong (and it is), why are you all embracing Christian Nationalism?

The Constitution guarantees the right of freedom of religion. Your racism won’t change that.

Want to know what happens to you when you side with evil against God? Watch all of the people who turned away from God and towards trump. Watch what now becomes of their lives. It has begun, it’s in motion. Some of you can feel it in your soul. These are judgement times. Right now would be a good time to reflect on where you stand in this life.
Embracing trump = Turning away from God.

So the economic numbers coming out this week must be pretty bad if the GOP has to make Muslims the “boogeymen”.
Anything to distract us from the corruption and coverup of Trump’s mental status.

Congressman Mark Alford
Stop the hateful rhetoric!
STOP IT!

Maybe Congressman Alford could tell us what a “Third World Country” is. Talk about going back in time. Republicans like you are corroding our government and lying everyday. Trump is the one inviting them into the White House. What a bunch of hypocrites. You better worry about the Christian Nationalists first. They are in the room with you.

lol… we are grappling with religion being the government… thanks to you right wing, fake christian fucking assholes. That, you douche bag, is the problem we have. Personally, I have NEVER had an issue with any reasonable person because of their faith, color or creed… that’s because I am NOT an asshole

You’re scared of a girl.
[….]

They don’t belong in our country and they sure shouldn’t be holding office. It’s time to reenact the law which was overturned in the 90s that they cannot hold political office.

Time to show your racist self

Radical Maga is a far bigger danger to the USA than Islam is. I wonder who Maga will be telling its cult members to hate next month?

And you are a hateful delusional bigot !!!

The vast majority of comments on here are unbelievable. People who want to sit on their butts and wave their precious signs ( In this house we believe…, Immigrants welcome here, etc) feeling self-righteous and pleased with themselves. Has your house been broken into? Yet? Has your daughter been raped yet? Has your 8 year old been hit by a guy in a car or truck who can’t read street signs in English? Yet? It has happened to Americans and could happen to you! Has your tax money been scammed by foreigners yet? Probably yes. Has your state’s Medicare/ Medicaid money been used by immigrants who were given EVERYTHING when they were invited into our country by the OBiden administration? Probably Yes. Why aren’t you outraged and angry as @&$%# ? Instead you nit pick on Christians and Conservatives because they happen to want to preserve our country and our culture. It’s terribly sick and sad that you just don’t care about your future, your children’s future or your country’s future. People who hate us and don’t appreciate our country and culture AND don’t wish to assimilate can go home and the faster the better.

This is why we can’t have nice things…

Radical Right Wing Christians meanwhile…can serve up Racism at will

You should worry more about nazis that have taken over the Republican party

Good lord, you’re stupid.

Fake weather boy Allfraud. There is nothing that is notable about you. There’s nothing that is significant. There’s nothing that makes you stand out. Everything that you say or do is from a script that you read. Has been tried before, and it resulted in the event rebuttal from those who believe in the rights and freedoms of others. Whether it be the illegal internment of Japanese Americans, the cruel enslavement of African-Americans, the indentured servitude of Chinese Americans, or the cruelty being displayed now. Our nation has always had tyrants and those willing to go along with them. So, fake weather boy, all fraud your time will too eventually end

You should be ashamed mark! You arn’t following Gods work! You are everything God teaches us to fight against!! Hate for our neighbor!!

Oops, your racism is showing.

All of you MAGAts seem to thrive on fear, anger, and hatred. Ya’ll might want to get some counseling.

asshat

Muslims make up only 1% of the US population. If that scares you you’re pretty fragile to begin with.

Let’s start in securing America from bigots like you

Reads like Nazi propaganda

What happened to you? Were you always this angry little man? I remember when you started in Kansas City as an anchor. You had this goofy sense of humor. But under that fake tan you had this simmering racism and resentment for women and people around you? How did you develop such a love for misinformation? You were a journalist of sorts. More of a goofball talking head, but still. It’s really shocking to see this ugliness. Sad, really.

It’s so sad how racists this country is becoming!

So this idiot doesn’t believe in the Constitution? Freedom of religion asshole.

Alford is just another trump tool, kissing the ring and hoping/begging for his recognition. Pathetic.

Alford is just an idiot spewing propaganda.

Hitler said that about the Jews

We noticed that.

Sweet baby jeebus you are an idiot, and an embarrassment to our nation.

And you just proved you are a bigot. Smart.

You either are stupid or you think your constituents are

It’s both.

You guys are literally fascists and I am supposed to be scared of my neighbors because they dress differently and have a different religion?

You are such a fucking idiot.

It’s fascinating how Marky can’t find his voice or guts to speak out when Trump is hosting a radical who had an American journalist cut into pieces while he was still alive. Trump kissed MBS’ butt and yelled at an American woman for daring to mention the murder, all while accepting billions of dollars in crypto scams from people who helped Hamas, giving nations with ties to terrorism access to advanced AI chips, and making deals for his crappy resorts in the Middle East. I can’t imagine how Mark sleeps at night, pushing this crap of pointing fingers about enabling religious radicalism while turning a blind eye to what the administration is doing to weaken our security on behalf of nations to whom he is beholden, not to mention enabling the unChristianity and danger of the Christian nationalist movement within our own nation and our own government. It’d be a heck of a thing to still have more than a handful of GOP politicians willing to speak truth to power. Enjoy whatever financial gains you’ve made off of selling out your constituents. You’re earning your place in history as a cowardly enabler of the first order. It’d be funny if it weren’t such an utter dereliction of duty. You’ve managed to make MTG look like a moral and intellectual giant, by comparison. 🙄

So is remembering your oath…but seem to have shit all over that. Stop gaslighting you ass h a t.

What a load of racist BS. Where is your concern about radicalized MAGA?

MAGATS, always jousting at windmills. Someone explain this literary reference to them, since they don’t read.

The most radical religious group in America is the Christian Nationalist Movement. People like yourself.

Didn’t you just post something about stopping religious discrimination? I guess you only mean certain religions huh? You got any examples of the “corrosive advance of radical Islam?” I bet I got plenty more more of examples of the corrosive advance of white nationalism!

Funny, but the main terrorists I see these days are armed, wearing masks, assaulting citizens while claiming theyre sent by Noem the dogkiller.

Quit promoting Islamophobia. It’s not any better than antisemitism.

You are painting all followers of the Islamic faith with one brush. You imply that all are terrorists and that Islam is radical.
That’s like saying all Christians are radical Christian Nationalists instead of Christians who actually follow Christ.
Because only a radical Christian Nationalist would put up a post like this one.

Are the radical Muslims in the room with you right now? Are they feeding you Baklava?

Congressman Mark Alford You are beyond being a FU***ng Moron.
You would know this if you had “true” Town Hall meetings, instead of pandering to your rich supporters…

Mark Alford (r) [2025 file photo]

Today:

Congressman Mark Alford
[December 3, 2025]

We’re cleaning up the mess Democrats made with Obamacare. It’s time to put YOU back in control of your healthcare — not the insurance companies. [….]

They ain’t buying it – in the responses:

Headed for another shut down.
Pass a budget. Talk and negotiate.
Health Care / health insurance has to be covered.
Reimpose taxes on the 1%.
Cut funding for forever wars. Stop arresting gardners and dishwashers

Uh, no. Insurance companies will still be in control.

So what is the plan for Americans to have medical coverage starting Jan. 1st?

they have none. That’s the problem. All they thought about was destroying everything and not about how to rebuild it. See how well we are winning and making merica great again

there is none he’s just running his mouth

Wrong, ACA was because the free market had gone to Shit. Plus every time a bill to improve the ACA the republicans voted it down. All 70 times.

The plan? Or even a “concept”? Would LOVE to hear it!

As a small business owner I’ve been in charge of my own healthcare before and after the ACA. Please tell me how it was better before. After ACA at least I could get insurance even with pre-existing conditions.

Can I get a plan with coverage and cost equal to yours?

Congressman Mark Alford can we see the GOP replacement plan for Obamacare?
Because it has measurably improved major aspects of the U.S. health-care system. Far more Americans now have insurance, access to care is significantly improved, and many low and moderate income families are financially better off thanks to reduced medical cost burdens. In Medicare expansion states, some health outcomes, including mortality, have improved.
Republicans have had 15 years to improve upon this. What do you have to show us?

they’ve got absolutely NOTHING.

News flash: there isn’t one.

they have 𝘌𝘭𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴 of a an excuse

Mark, I could get behind a change if Congress would just let everyone move to traditional Medicare.

“Medicare for All”

Medicare for All!

OR, we could just have universal health care like the rest of the 1st World nations upon this planet.

Where is your plan??

Easy to criticize, tougher to come up with a solution. What is your solution (besides blaming someone else)?

I want universal healthcare like they have in other countries.

it is clear they have no idea what actual work looks like. They think posting a meme or doing an interview full of half-truths or outright lies is working. Guess they didn’t learn what a hard day’s work actually entails or they are incompetent at their jobs. They have decided to shirk responsibilities in place of blame. They offer zero substance on matters that are most important to the people of this country. Furthermore, they care not if they are working for us, they are more concerned about loyalty to one person than behaving in a way that is reflective of the job they were hired to do.

Democrats didn’t make a mess with the ACA. Its flaws are almost entirely attributable to compromises with Republicans and their insurance company donors made in order to get it passed.

I don’t think you have a clue as to how for-profit insurance works.
We need universal healthcare like other civilized countries have. Even Republican studies prove it is more cost-effective and saves more lives.
An insurance ‘death panel’ caused the death of my little sister at age 45. It should never have happened. This is the real experience many American families have, no matter what they pay for insurance.
Without the ACA (better than anything you have initiated), many small businesses would never have been started.

As a small business owner and father of three, Obamacare was a godsend since its inception. I’m scared to death to see how the Republicans are going to “clean up the mess” if they can’t even acknowledge how much Obamacare helps tens of millions of people who don’t work for large employers that can get group rates and help pay for their employees’ health insurance! They keep talking about “putting consumers in charge”, but say NOTHING about lowering overall cost. I already get to pick my providers and pick my insurance plan, it’s the cost that is the issue.

Without insurance reforms…your “plan ” is smoke and mirrors

Putting us in charge instead of insurance companies…so you mean Medicare for all? Guaranteed healthcare for all Americans so people can stop choosing between life saving medications and paying bills? Putting an end to medical debt?
…that’s what you mean, right?

Wait a minute here. The tax cuts for the richest were also scheduled to expire this year, but, the heavens be damned, the Republicons rushed to put through their extension, but somehow tax breaks for working Americans are not of the same concern for Republicons.

Have you learned to distinguish between different brands of boot polish by the taste yet?

I keep hearing the words “mess”, “disaster”, “unaffordable” yet when pressed for examples or alternatives, I hear *crickets*

What is the plan????? Oh. You don’t have one

You realize, in order to put “us, not the health insurance companies” I charge of our healthcare, we would basically have to abolish health insurance/companies. I’m not against that, but I have a feeling you and your donors would think twice on that.

So what’s your plan Mark? Right. You don’t have one.

We can’t claim to be the richest greatest nation on earth and not have our people’s basic human right of healthcare met. Developed nation’s without universal healthcare well there is only 1 and that’s us. I don’t think that’s great at all

Wait. It’s almost 2026 and NOW you’re looking at ways to bring the cost down for Healthcare?

Been hearing that since Dear Leader was campaigning for his first term. He promised a better and more beautiful healthcare plan and we are still waiting…

Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check…

Can I have your healthcare plan? You haven’t present anything to us….

You have no plan to replace it. You just want to destroy what already exists.

Is this just your daily required “loyalty to the administration” post? You never have anything but finger pointing and half baked “concepts”.

Remember the good old days when insurance companies could reject you for a preexisting condition. Or cancel your policy if you got sick. Bury in the fine print a maximum coverage amount so if you got sick and needed the insurance it was not there. Or sell a policy that actually did not cover you when you got sick. Kick your teenage children off your policy. Or not cover preventative care to help you from getting sick.
It was so great.
But they an “idea” of a plan.

Without the ACA, insurance companies could deny insurance coverage for people with preexisting conditions. That was a big impetus for the ACA adoption. How will your plan of abandoning people to their own devices of obtaining insurance, even with the subsidies for those with more limited finances, assure those with cancer, diabetes,etc that they will be sold a plan? It did not happen before the ACA, so will Trump’s distain for all things Obama, throw these people back under the bus?

I’m sure you’ll have a healthcare plan right after infrastructure week.

And on and on…

High on his own supply

4th Congressional District, former newsreader, gaslighting, Mark Alford, missouri, Propaganda, right wingnut, sycophant, that ridiculous hat, Trump sycophant

Yesterday:

Congressman Mark Alford
[November 23, 2025]
Americans are sick of being gaslit.
Home prices are out of control right now…but we have full confidence that the One Big Beautiful Bill will deliver real relief, & House Republicans will continue to work with POTUS to get America booming again.
[….]

What did he expect?:

Y’all are spewing enough ‘gas’ to heat the entire state this winter…

The BBB will cause v rural hospitals to close.

Yup. Prices on those homes in healthcare desserts will come down when the occupants die on the way to a big city hospital.

==========

The Big Beautiful Bill does nothing for home prices. Stopping investment companies from snapping up homes will.

Mark Alford
[….] how do you do that?

what does your favorite piece of legislation have that will increase housing affordability? Besides giving tax breaks to the wealthy, shafting people with higher insurance costs, and your President’s great idea is a fifty year mortgage. Student loans are preventing families from buying homes. The median age of the first time buyer is forty.

…you pass legislation that regulates it like you do any other industry with regulations?

regulations. Spain just did it to rein in the US hedge fund companies buying up all their residential property.

The naughty word Republicans hate. Regulations!

just ask JD. He’s very much into the “farm markets “. Do a lil research , he’ll show you how to get rich off the backs of laborers.

==========

all those, “we buy ugly houses” ads lol

the poor farmers are getting trashed by this administration. To make matters worse JD Vance is involved in buying up farms that have lost almost everything due to this administrations stupid policies.

its probably so he CAN benefit from buy all thoes farms then sell them back at a profit

Concepts of a plan

Percentage of a concept of a plan.

very vague concept. Almost a plan to have a concept of a plan.

a concept of an outline of a plan!!! 12 years in the making!!!

right. The bill was already passed. But we have to wait like trickle down economics. Wait for nothing to trickle down from billionaires with huge tax breaks… oh. And less jobs. Worst economic policy since Reagan.

Remind us which party is in charge of the government please?

*looks at notes* is that why both times hes been elected the first and fastest deal to pass was tax breaks for the ultra wealthy and then the extensions for it? Amazing how the 1% and mega corps get socialism while the rest of us live in capitalism. 👏

I thought Trump was gonna fix this all on day 1, Mark

Thought he was doing that day one??

Quiet, quiet Piggy

We all know when we’re being conned!! I doubt you even understand what affordability even means, just using it as a catch phrase for those of us who understand it very well because we live it every day!

Here’s an idea, just hear me out. Instead of working for the president, you start working for your constituents? Crazy, I know, but imagine the possibilities!

So you saying thoughts and prayers I guess?

“God has a plan!” SMH

Damn you and FOX are still sleeping together?!

Looking to tackle? Where’ve they been?

Yes, we’re absolutely tired of the GOP’s gaslighting.

Ahhh more ideas about the concepts of a potential plan. It’s not just housing man, and all of us middle classers know this. Healthcare, automobiles, housing…you know, all the actual really important stuff.

No it will not
Healthcare has been a problem so long that there is nothing you can do to change the fact that the big beautiful bill is going to take away from Medicare and assistance for people and these things actually have impacts on normal insurance and our insurance is going to be insane because of this.

If we want affordable houses we need to stop letting companies buy them. It’s really that simple.

But he keeps saying it is already booming. Best economy ever, highest stock market, huge profits from tariffs, best job growth, no inflation blah, blah, blah….

So you’re telling me I want my homes value to go down? Make it make sense.

Oh?? Wait, I thought prices were lower than ever?? Isn’t that what Trump assured us?? I’m am confused!! So now the gaslighting by Trump is reversing course??

lol there ya go everyone just have the same confidence as this man and your grocery bills will be fine

Yeah, a 50 year mortgage ought to fix that.

In a 50 year mortgage you can pay interest 10 times the value of the house you bought

Thus speaks, Alford, GURU of GASLIGHTING!!!!💥

Mark Alford (r) [2024 file photo].

I’m sure the billionaires are celebrating the Big Billionaire Bill😡

Right & u are the tooth fairy!!

Gonna payoff for who?

Lowering interest rates will increase home prices even more. Most people owning homes are not going to be happy if their homes are suddenly worth less.

Well the tariffs are causing building supply costs to rise…

Sounds like gaslighting.

Speaking of gaslighting ..

If you are a billionaire, you get relief.

Holy shit. Imagine thinking giving giant tax breaks to millionaires and cutting education funding will make things more affordable.
Well. You know the dummies in the cult think that.

Does the Trump administration have a “concept “

==========

After your 45 day paid vacation, it would be great if you got back to work again. Please don’t focus on gold medals, focus on rising costs, decreasing health coverage, poor air transportation, failing businesses, and I don’t know maybe setting up a tax code that requires the wealthy to pay taxes.

pretty much all things that the Big Beautiful Bill he is praising works against.

==========

Address gaslighting by gaslighting

The only plan this administration has is to make themselves even more wealthy than they are already.

Says the guy holding the match!

Good for you. So happy you are confident the outcome you say will come about, but what happens if it doesn’t? What skin in the game do you have to lose if everything goes south? Nothing really, you will not feel the effects that most other folks I lower economic situations will face.

Republicans are experts at gaslighting. Lies are the language they speak

lol. Before Mamdani you guys could not spell “ affordability”.

Funny that.

Sure 50 year mortgage solves everything

Starts off by saying Americans are tired of being gaslit…. proceeds to gaslight

Read the room, Mark Alford.

Who could have predicted that tariffs, essentially a national sales tax, would land most heavily on folks who are already at the edge on affordability? Asking for anyone who spent 20 minutes in a macro-economics class.

Having any town halls by chance? 🥴

We’re 10 months into The Felon’s reign and NOW you want to talk about affordability? Whatsamatta, last election shake yous guys up a bit? Giving folks’ tax dollars away to Argentina, tax breaks for millionaires, tariffs, gutting Healthcare, “modifying” a plane from Qatar, golf trips, say when… These are NOT conducive to “Affordability”. I thought The Felon said he didn’t want to hear that word again.

Sure, if only we could believe you. Stop giving tax breaks to the wealthy.
Make healthcare affordable

Relief by higher taxes and reduced services.

No one is concerned with the economy “cooking for the midterms”, they are worried about paying their utility bills and buying groceries. This statement is not what people want to hear from an elected official. They deserve resolution and resources, a solid plan and action behind it. Telling people they are mentally ill for voicing their financial hardships is morally wrong.

Well…if you studied economics and history you would see trickle down economics doesn’t work for the middle class and below.

First, he gives away billions to the rich, supports the big ugly bill that is damaging to the middle and lower class, and now he poses as a savior of prices. These guys think we’re all stupid. No Marc we’ve got you and we know who you serve. It isn’t the middle class or the poor.

Gaslighting? You should look it up. You congressman voted to cut snap Medicare and Medicaid. You are part of the affordability problem

Do they ever just shut up and actually do something. All republicans do is talk and go on vacation.

They consider that a feature, not a bug.

And so Congressman, your solution is more gaslighting. No thanks. We need actions, not more bluster.

You mean the bill that made it more difficult to get funding for certain professions?
The bill that gives the largest tax cuts to the already wealthy?
The bill that claims to be no tax on tips or overtime but comes with hefty stipulations?
Maybe it’s the bill that cuts multiple millions on Medicaid over the next 10 years.
That bill?
You were saying about gaslighting?

You live in Missouri, in. November. Why the tan???

I wish I could make a career of just saying random ridiculous shit and not have anyone question it.

The Big Beautiful Bill? Really? Did you actually even read it before eagerly voting for it? It cute SNAP and Healthcare, making life worse for your constituents. It eliminates school lunches for 420,000 students. And it adds $3.4 trillion to the debt. For what? Tax breaks for millionaires. You think this will help your constituents?

Are you joking right now???? We ALL know this bill will screw everyone but the billionaires!!

On and on…

Well that didn’t go so well

4th Congressional District, affordability, former newsreader, health care, Mark Alford, missouri, right wingnut, rural hospitals, social media, sycophant, Trump sycophant

Mark Alford (r) [2023 file photo].

Today:

Congressman Mark Alford
[November 20, 2025]

Today is National Rural Health Day is a reminder of what’s at stake. I’ve been in nearly every rural hospital across the Fourth District, talking with the people who are doing everything they can to keep health care close to home.
When the government shut down, we didn’t. We kept visiting hospitals because rural Missouri can’t afford political games. Democrats wanted to put the $50B Rural Health Transformation Program on the chopping block.
We actively fought to stop that and keep our rural hospitals open—for the families who depend on them!
[….]

Some of the responses:

Who is going to tell him?

it doesn’t matter what you tell him. He’s going to lick the boots and pander to the MAGA crowd. It’s all he’s capable of.
Well, that and being a bully.

You voted to kill our hospitals when you voted for the Big Beautiful Bill.

Hey Mark Afraid, A Fox News Poll shows 76% of voters say the economy is in bad shape. Remember saying we are in America’s golden era? Maybe a golden shower era or the gaudy golden oval office era???

If you’re so committed to rural healthcare, then why did you vote to gut Medicare and Medicaid? The BBB will actually hurt rural providers. But you knew that already, didn’t you Mark?

He voted that way because his orange master told him to. He doesn’t have the ability for independent thought just like the rest of the rePubes.

St. Mary’s, Blue Springs. Lee’s Summit Medical. Rural hospitals??!! 😂🤣
How’d you vote, Mark ??!!

Do you ever read the comments? Just asking.

Rural Missourians don’t need another photo-op hospital tour.
They need leaders who will actually fix the root problems not just blame Democrats while voting against the very policies that would save rural care.

Why cut Medicare?

That’s why you voted to cut $137B from rural health, right Mark?

Wait, we care about health these days? That’s funny!! 🤣

That’s it. The day is over.

Research suggests that Congress members who get fat healthcare donations are about as likely to support tough price controls as a cat is likely to take a bath voluntarily.
The U.S. healthcare industry isn’t just in the business of healing-it’s basically a political superhero with a cape made of lobbyist checks and PAC contributions.
Thanks to this superpower, bold reforms like negotiating drug prices or expanding Medicare-for-all often hit a wall thicker than a hospital bill, even when most Americans are cheering from the sidelines.

Toadie that forgot that he voted to gut the funding for rural healthcare services

He didn’t forget.

As a rural healthcare provider in your district. I have no words for how ridiculous you are. You do everything in your power to remove the ability of people to pay for healthcare putting my job at risk and other people‘s lives at risk. I cannot wait to vote you out.

Hey Mark! Your pants are on fire again.

If the president is calling for the execution of lawmakers he should be removed from office immediately

When you voted for the BBB you told us how invested you are in rural health.
You voted to gut funding.
Your rural constituents are aware you are not working in our best interests.

So you’re celebrating by closing rural hospitals? 🤦🖕

Say goodbye, rural folks.

Your voting record says otherwise

Only rural millionaire health

Because you visiting hospitals after voting to cut their funding by millions of dollars does nothing but photo ops.

Mark Alford (r) [2025 file photo].

And here you voted to disembowel the programs that aid in rural medical facilities…you’ll make more sense if you only talk out one side of your face, scumbag.

As a 40 year rep in rural healthcare, you are the worse one to be posting about how you are helping!
I hope you are voted out, along with the top down mess we have!
Please resign now and save yourself a huge embarrassment in the thrashing you see coming.

hush, little bootlicker

Idiot.

We’re laughing at you Alford

The money you are “giving” is much less than what you took away to put in the pockets of the 1%. Its despicable of you to keep touting this. Is this an example of the GOP healthcare plan you are working so hard on?

Quiet piggy

Ouch.

Right now, you and the rest of the Republicans are waaaay on the wrong side of history.

Congressman you voted against Rural Healthcare. Don’t be a hypocrite. We are smarter than you think.
By the way why did you give Argentina $40 BILLION? That’s not America First.

Hey Congressman Mark Alford you want to turn the temperature down. Tell that orange motherfucker in the White House to stop making death threats. If you want to make this normal, what happens when a Democrat majority is elected. You best put a check on that asshole

Except you voted for a bill that causes rural hospitals to close. You’re a joke

We know this is a fucking lie Congressman Mark Alford. When the government shut down, you went home on vacation for 6 weeks. You toured manufacturing facilities for photo ops. You didn’t go to hospitals in the 4th district. If you had you would have made sure to make photo ops of the visits. You never pass up an opportunity for a photo opportunity. Yet, we never saw any pictures of you at hospitals. We are not as dumb as your midget ass looks.

Same bullshit, different day from Markey McHypocrite.

You still have a leftover tan from your seven week vacation!!!! You didn’t work!
AND, WHAT ABOUT OUR HEALTHCARE TAX CREDITS???
ANSWER THE QUESTION!!!!

LIAR

Trump has illegally murdered over 80 people from South American countries. Trump doesn’t give one rat’s ass about anyone living in a rural area.

Pull your head out of trumps ass

Did the orange pedo tell you to post this? Asking for a friend.

You voted for Medicaid cuts. Spare me your fake concern.

Is that why you voted for the healthcare cuts in your BBB this past summer, before your extended vacation? Quit with the lying Republican propaganda…no one is buying it.

Don’t you ever get tired of lying? What kind of person are you? Not the kind I want to represent me. I sure hope that the gerrymandering petition and upcoming election keeps me in the 5th district and not in yours!

We got notice that Healthcare for One adult went from $790.00 per month to 1750.00 per month. No changes in health, no changes in deductible. Increases for in network office visits and higher deductible for prescriptions. Thanks little scamper alford. You voted for this in your “big beautiful bill.”
That doesn’t include changes in Medicare and supplements, for another adult in our home, haven’t got that part finalized yet.
Can’t wait for the rest of your Constituents to get their final adjustments on Healthcare. You may need to swap your lift boots out for some running shoes.

Trump is making death threats against Democrats who have told the military not to follow orders that go against the constitution.
And you and your MAGA friends once again stay silent

Liar liar. The bBB cut Medicaid /Medicare funding

You are so embarrassing

Too bad you voted to get rid of rural healthcare centers. Asshole.

No one is falling for your shit.

Alford’s daily lies are easily disputed. The Medicaid cuts he and the Felon’s other MAGA Morons voted for have put these Missouri hospitals at risk for closing:
Bothwell Regional Health Center in Sedalia;
Scotland County Memorial Hospital in Memphis;
Parkland Health Center in Bonne Terre;
Lafayette Regional Health Center in Lexington.

Trump calls for democratic lawmakers to be punished by DEATH this morning. What are the consequences for this extremely dangerous talk? What if his comments were directed at you?

Republicans are worse than Spam calls. Always trying to CON the citizens with bull 💩

They’re not buying it.

They seem upset.

To your health

Today:

Congressman Mark Alford
[November 19 2025]
·
Productive meeting today with Golden Valley Memorial Healthcare CEO Craig Thompson.
We talked Medicare, their HRSA grant for developing our own physicians, Missouri residency retention, RHTP funds, and closing the loophole hurting Sole Community Hospitals.
Proud to support the providers who keep our rural communities healthy!
[….]

There is much hilarity in the responses:

How did the part of the discussion go when you admitted to the unimaginably inhumane loophole that your MAGA party created by stopping funding to Emergency room patients without proof of nationality on your One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB), but left in place the compassionate conservative linchpin legislation called the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) wich REQUIRES them to still take care of them anyway? Did you put together a betting pool on how many months they will have before everyone in Clinton has to go to the city for all their Dr. appointments? Did you pick 11 months?

=====

Congressman Mark Alford The Problem With Our Healthcare Is “GREEDY For Profit Healthcare Insurance Companies/Executives” ! ! ! They Should Have To Compete With a Public Option Like “Medicare for All” as a Option ! ! ! That Would Make Healthcare Insurance More Affordable ! ! ! Or You Could Extend The ACA Tax Credits for One Year , And Find a Healthcare Solution In The Next 6 Months . . ? 🤔

he knows, he’s working for them, not you.

=====

So … what actually … have you done to support this facility. Right, nothing.

417,000 Missouri residents are losing their ACA Subsidies. Can they pay the higher premiums?? Will this hospital be open in 3 years. There is also a shortage of healthcare workers and since Trump raised H1B work visa’s to $100K most small hospitals can’t hire foreign health workers !! Face it Republicans are on a vendetta to destroy our healthcare system !

You had since January 2023 to do something about Medicare, why now? You only been in office 35 months and now you are discussing Medicare.. let’s not forget your 53 days off from work on a paid vacation while people in your district are losing farms. So technically you have been in office for 33.5 months..

Idiot.

Go back to Texas if you want your back patted

“OUR OWN PHYSICIANS”? In 8 years, minimum.
AND children going hungry and sick…NOW.

By voting for the big beautiful bill?

Congressman Mark Alford You passed the Big Beautiful (BS) Bill that cut $1.3 TRILLION from Medicaid, when that same GVMH CEO said publicly that 4 OUT OF 5 PATIENTS in that hospital are MEDICAID recipients. Guess what that means? MEDICAID FUNDS THIS HOSPITAL. Read that again: MEDICAID KEEPS THIS HOSPITAL OPERATING.
Explain how the cuts YOU made to Medicaid support this hospital?? You can’t explain it, because your “support” is nothing but another Alford lie. You’ve passed a law that will damage this hospital severely, if it doesn’t shut it down!
How many of those 51,000 people you’ve condemned to death every year going forward, that would NOT DIE except they will now due to your law, the BBB, how many of those people will now die at GVMH?
You’re ignorant beyond belief. Your lack of education is a blinking neon sign in the dark. You are a shining example of why every single candidate for Congress should be required to pass numerous written exams before being allowed on the ballot, Economics being one of those subjects.
You’re unfit to serve. You never were and never will be fit to hold office. The 4th District deserves better. You are a pathological liar. #RESIGN #TRAITOR #UNFITtoServe

Mark Alford (r) [2025 file photo]

Working hard to close more rural hospitals?

This is appalling. What say you about this, Little Marky? Do you approve of your Dear Leader entertaining murderous dictator terrorists in our White House while making billion dollar deals for himself?

Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check…

You’re gonna let our ACA tax credits expire, aren’t you, you little maggot?

Today:

Congressman Mark Alford
[November 15, 2025]

If adversaries can buy land ½ a mile from our nuclear fleet at Whiteman Air Force Base, we’ve got a SERIOUS problem.

I’m demanding answers.👇

[….]

There is much hilarity in the responses:

Hey, Siri. Who was president in 2017?

Heh.

Calling it rent then? Seems Qatar has some influence

Is it equally concerning that the president has asked the AG to investigate individuals who are named in the Epstein emails at the same time calling it all a “hoax”? That’s not sensible or normal on many levels.

“Investigate The Hoax!” 🤡
Trump’s behavior is totally normal for an innocent man. He’s clearly innocent. Obviously.

Do you feel the same about the Qatar facility in Idaho?

Wait until you hear about Qatar getting a whole air base in Idaho…

The owner is buddies with Trump. Why don’t you ask him why he has those ties

September 2025 executive order commits the U.S. to taking “all lawful and appropriate measures,” including military action, against external attacks on Qatar, solidifying its role as a major security guarantor. Guess who gave a gift of an airplane to trump.

But you sure seem to be (for sale).

600,000 Chinese students and Qatar say otherwise.

Please- everything is for sale right now. How much did your soul cost?

Mark Alford (r) [2025 file photo]

No answers. Someone sold and someone bought. It’s that simple. I don’t know what the answer might be in a free society.

EVERYTHING IS GREAT!!!!!!

Great, but don’t forget you were gonna fix healthcare first.

Ohhhhh the emails are bad. What’s your vote gonna be, small man?

Trump sold it to the Qataris for a $400 million plane

You gave an Orange Felon the nuclear codes

While you’re waiting for answers where’s your healthcare plan? Republicans have 15 years to come up with their promised replacement for the ACA. Seems like that would have been a better use of your time during the shutdown instead of staging stunts like cooking hotdogs and slamming Democrats on Facebook

And you are a representative from Missouri and have been for several years – what have you done to stop it – absolutely nothing until your orange turd has some opinion on it.

What’s the deal with the Tariffs. The President is having another insane and stupid TACO moment. More Argentina beef. MAGA!

Hey Mark you’re still a POS

Since the republican party don’t like the ACA they have had 15 yrs. to give us a good Gov. paid healthcare system like they have. The republican party has been slowly destroying our middle class before republican Nixon became Pres. we had a non-profit healthcare system and Nixon destroyed that and before Reagan was Pres. the rich was paying 78% in taxes and Reagan change that to 28% and Reagan also messed with our SS took it our of our SS Fund and put some in our General Fund and Trump has given trillions of dollars of tax breaks to the richest people on the planet !!

More diversion posts. You’re hardly at work during your 4-day weekend (following your extended summer vacation).

400 million dollar jet for Trump, our security is truly for sale to the highest bidder and you just another lying hypocrite.

Do you have a straight face when you make these obvious ludicrous posts? I mean, are you serious???
I mean, your cult followers might still blindly believe this, but let me tell ya…that group is getting smaller and smaller…33% approval rating for Dear Leader…which, I believe is the lowest in U.S. history!
In TRUMP’S AMERICA…EVERYTHING IS FOR SALE!

There’s that.

Again, yore not worried about trump giving red carpet treatment to former Al-Queda but this upsets you. Bootlicker!

Who’s party voted to allow this in the first place??? Gtfoh

Do tell us about China (August 2, 2024)

You want full transparency when it comes to national security but you are content to have a drunken former Fox News weekend anchor (oops! I forgot you TV types think you are qualified to do anything) in charge of the department of defense and a podcaster as head of the FBI?
How about we start with some transparency regarding the boats that keep getting blown up in international waters. Or what’s going on with Venezuela or Argentina?

While Trump has the Saudi royalty here who killed Kashoghi. There is a log in your party’s eye

Top secret? As in no one knew it existed?

Congressman Mark Alford
[November 4, 2025]

Your daily reminder that the Left is STILL prioritizing illegal immigrants over your wellbeing and all of America’s.
#SchumerShutdown

The ratio is epic:

Listen little guy, don’t get yourself too bummed out about being ratio’d into dust like a rented mule on Facebook today. You have the big premier coming up soon to look forward to!!!

Your daily dose of lies.

A lie!!

Nice try weather man.

#markisapieceofshit

That’s an insult to shit.🤣

==========

I support you Mark and I do not understand the ignorance of so many.

Read a book, have a chat with someone with a different opinion, watch something other than FoxNews. Then you’ll understand the perspective of others. Ignorance is, afterall, a lack of knowledge. When was the last time you learned something new? So let’s get the ball rolling with these questions. Mary, tell me what you believe Mark is doing right? Who is he helping? Are the people he is helping in need of help? Exactly how is he helping the people of Missouri?

[….] you don’t understand the ignorance of your own party. I doubt there is anything that could sway you. “Smart people don’t like me.” DJT 2025

[….] they lied to you about J6. They lied to you about Epstein.
What on Earth makes you believe they’re suddenly inclined to tell the truth now?

[….] if your support him, you’re certainly ignorant.

[….] you seem like you mean well. But Mark is a lying coward who has yet to hold a town hall since one of his constituents told him to get his head out of Trump’s ass.

The punchline:

[….] you fricken live in Tonganoxie KS!!! You don’t live in his district or our state so keep your opinions to yourself. He sucks.

Heh.

===========

#alfordshutdown #getbacktowork

What are you prioritizing???

I know it’s a radical idea but I fully support tax dollars funding basic human needs like healthcare and food. For EVERYONE. Better that than tax cuts to help billionaires hoard even more wealth.

“Qu’ils mangent de la brioche.”

Extend the ACA subsidies until someone comes up with a better plan. Thanks Chuck for looking out for me.

I’ve got an idea. It is a bit radical. You could start telling the truth.

Make Argentina great again?

Well, with around $40,000,000,000.00, give or take a few pennies.

Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.

Did you say “Epstein files”?!!

Is that why Trump is refusing to allow children to eat

Doing a good job Wiener, boy, make sure you bring the wieners to the next Town Hall
Meeting.

Trump says no snap til shutdown end. Way to use 40 million people food to negotiate. Definitely America first 😆

“Hey look at me! I’m Congressman Mark Alford posting multiple times a day ridiculous things to prove I’m doing my job”
Go back to Washington DC call your republican bros and hammer out a way to negotiate- that’s your job.

Given that health insurance is on the line — something that Republicans can’t manage — and that Republicans are virtually playing keep-away with it, Democrats can’t be blamed for refusing to be Charlie Brown to Lucy’s position as holder.

Your daily reminder Mark Alford still isn’t doing HIS job.

Congressman Mark Alford when are you going back to work?

Stop lying and go back to work. Negotiate like an adult.

Daily reminder that Alford is a complete idiot. Give it up. This is on you and your party.

Our daily reminder is you aren’t working and still getting paid!!!!

Do you job Mark! Giving out hotdogs is not solving any problems.

Our daily reminder that we have no representation in Washington.

You should be prioritizing making sure our citizens are fed and have heat and lights with the taxes we all pay that goes into those funds. As well as coming up with an affordable and accessible health care solution.

It’s not the left, it’s the spineless GOP that doesn’t do anything about Trump’s lawless actions, I didn’t vote for you last time and won’t vote for any Republican in all future elections

Secretary Duffy posted today that he doesn’t know what the Democrats are asking for. Maybe your office could help him out.

Why do you so blatantly lie??? Have you no shame???

Your daily reminder Republicans need to fund healthcare!

You realize that every time you slam the left, you slam half of the people you represent. Knock it off. Be a good Christian – serve God. Serve others. All others. It’s just not that hard.

Shame on you, dividing this country will never be the answer. We are all Americans and we are stronger as a whole than when divided. But then again you know that.

Congressman, yesterday Trump said he would comply with ruling and fund Snap, but today he said not until the shutdown is over. Whats your comment on this Congressman?

Mark Alford (r) [2025 file photo]

The name calling, gaslighting, and outright lies from this administration are truly shameful. What an embarrassment.

Hey Pinocchio you’ll never be real…

It’s honestly kind of ironic—watching you and your Republican colleagues this year has made it clear to me that there’s no way I could ever support a Republican in office again.

Your daily reminder that the super majority REPUBLICANS are prioritizing tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires over food and healthcare for children.

Your mouth is moving again……….

A little note, the Dems and liberals aren’t “the left”. They’re right of center anywhere else in the world. Trying to call the Dems “the left” is literal propaganda.
The only thing we have in common with them is wanting fascism tf out of our country and we disagree a LOT about what we’d all be willing to do to achieve that goal.

You are an @$$ hole Alford.

Do your job and stop blaming a party NOT in power.

Shut up Mark. Every sane, healthy, kind conservative is disenchanted with you and the entire MAGA cult.

Give it a rest and focus on the current immediate problems…. US hunger, unemployment, healthcare, the diminishing middle class…. End your vacation and do something in DC!!!!

What are you even talking about now??? Illegal immigrants are not eligible for Medicare, full stop. The only way they can possibly benefit is the small amount of Medicare given to hospitals for ER’s to treat people regardless of status. Tell me how Democrats are prioritizing immigrants, please give clear and concise examples.

Just another reminder that you’re full of s–t

Not true. We can read

Mark when was your last honest post?

Stop promoting a divisive agenda. Not the vibe.

When is your next town hall Mark? We’re all anxious to have a word. I’m sure there are people with plenty of questions.😃

Mark Alford
[….] not any time soon
We just finished our annual town hall tour in August
That’s when we do then
We did 15 stops in four days and took 256 questions
Sorry you missed it

“…not anytime soon…”

Surely you have time for a Town Hall now.

nope, he’s on vacation! They don’t want to get back to work

hey mark why don’t you go and negotiate do your job

Coming from trump just makes it a waste of paper and ink. Wait, was that an auto pen signature?

Well…

Thank you Daddy may I have another

Does this mean you’re going steady…?

Just another face in the crowd.

Make Argentina Great Again

Awww, he gave his little puppy a pat on the head

A lot of little puppies.

You know who ELSE used “America First” as a slogan?

You really are a needy little man. I feel sorry for you.

How about demanding that Mike Johnson bring you back to work?

What a joke! 🤣

If I was Mark “I am a legend in my own mind” Alford I wouldn’t want an endorsement from the Orange King!

That’s kind of like bragging about getting lucky at a family reunion. You probably should keep that endorsement to yourself…

He will never love you, you’re too old and too poor. Or did I miss you being at the big Gatsby soiree?

You have the endorsement of a criminal who is tearing American apart. Congrats!

America First??? King Donald sent BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars to Argentina to help them out and is building extravagant ballrooms and hosting parties for millionaires…all while there are lines forming at food pantries! America First? Hardly.

Sad..

Mike Johnson has kept the House on recess since September 19th and says he will not reopen it until at least January. He refuses to swear in duly elected representative Adelina Grijalva because he does not want the Epstein files to be released. This is a clear and unprecedented case of dereliction of duty.
Do you condone this behavior?
If not, why don’t you say or do anything about it?

Weird cultist

As usual there was much hilarity in the responses:

I’d love to hear your plan for reforming healthcare. I’ll wait. 🍿

Penguin from Gotham!

Congressman Mark Alford what about you putting your constituents first? I’ve asked you over and over again to help me deliver meals in Bates County tomorrow around 1:00? In beautiful Amsterdam mo at the community center!

Mark is too busy eating Caviar & drinking Champagne to worry about you peasants. He only cares about worshipping King Donnie Jenius Trump I

There is NO money in it for him or any other elected official for putting their constituents first. Congressman Mark Alford is absolutely clueless as to whom he represents, and it’s NOT the POTUS.

he proved today he is a POS!!!

==========

Extend the ACA subsidies. Thanks Chuck for looking out for me.

House-Republican
Senate-Republican
President-Republican
Nuclear option is a thing…..or hear me out on this….maybe you try to compromise and not hold poor hungry people hostage to steal their access to affordable healthcare.

You do know we know you’re in charge, right?

I love how you are trying to spin this!

Where can I buy the Mark Alford doll as a Christmas gift? I heard you pull the string and it repeats Schumer shutdown Schumer shutdown Schumer shutdown……

interesting to me that republicans are saying that democrats are stopping SNAP yet the republicans cut $186B out of SNAP and almost $1T out of Medicare/medicaid over the next decade..

Day 32 of Mark whines about Schumer 🙄

First admit the Republicans shut the government down and won’t deal with the Democrats to secure the votes to open it.
In truth there is freedom.

Republicans refusing to engage and negotiate. Trump refusing to meet with both parties to thrash out a solution.
That makes it a Republican shut down.

Give it a rest, bro.

He is on vacation.

Federal workers can’t pay their bills and as of today, 42 million people will be struggling to buy groceries. You’ve done nothing to help any of them on your extended vacation. Then last night your dear leader hosted an extravagant (and ironic) Great Gatsby themed party at Mar-a-Lago. But please, tell me again how republicans are putting America first.

Salus Populi Suprema Lex Esto, remember?

Probably not.

Bless your heart.
The House is on a paid vacation at the behest of their “leader”, who is a Republican.
If he were concerned about ending the shutdown, he’d call them back into session and get to work negotiating.
But naw, you lot would rather lie and flail and project than govern.
We see you, cupcake.

This is such crap

“America first” means food on the table, affordable housing, health-care, pensions that ease retirement… You’d rather starve the poor, prioritize the military, and send our tax dollars to foreign countries. I’m a veteran, and you ain’t worth the spit on a stamp

Do your job and get back to the floor to negotiate in good faith. The citizens of this country want affordable healthcare.

You should be at work.
Most Americans do not get a five+ week vacation

Republicans control the House, Senate and White House. When was the last time the Speaker called you in session? You are paid by we, the people, to do your job. Also, release the Epstein files!

Make the Republican Party great again! Bring back Eisenhower era taxes on the rich!

We see what you did there.

Marginal Income Tax Rates – 1958:

If you’re this bored, GO DO YOUR JOB

You’re the problem

Republicans are not doing their jobs, plain and simple. You hold the majority and still can’t get anything done. Americans are tired of the bully approach so stop kissing the ring and start governing. We see through your propaganda and know this is a #RepublicanShutdown

Republicans are stealing our healthcare so the rich get their tax breaks…………
Remember Jesus welcomed the foreigner, healed the sick and fed the poor!

How’s your vacation? You’re really not winning the media war by not working on a solution. Are you figuring that out yet? Get back to work and negotiate and why do I need to remind you of that?

Liar

Are you people serious? Rethuglicans have the trifecta

Nope. This one is all yours. Party of personal responsibility, my ass. We see you.

Yeah!! How dare they give a shit about health care, the poor, and marginalized people! They are against billionaires, cruelty, and hatred — everything that our Dear Leader’ stands for!! 😡🤬

Democrats are putting Americans first. The big betrayal did not. YOU can put Americans first by negotiating a solution. You know what’s on the table. Or would you rather place blame for political gain?

Who, exactly, left DC? Yeah, the GOP

32 days of your paid vacation.

Congressman Mark Alford – isn’t it funny that welfare recipients are required to work for their government check but Congress isn’t? How is the beginning of week 6 of your taxpayer funded vacation looking? Have time to answer my voicemails, letters and messages yet? I’ll start sending them to your house so you can answer them. How does that sound little Marky loser?

My insurance just went up 871%. Thanks for refusing to even try to negotiate relief for people who actually need it. And by the way — undocumented immigrants can’t get regular health insurance unless it’s emergency care, which was made law under Republican President Ronald Reagan.

And day 32 of you spreading lies…maga Mark…why don’t you grow a spine and get maga Moses Mike to call congress back into session… just a thought!!

The Johnson shutdown. Get back to work Mark!
