The same Medicaid funding fight, the same legal argument, a different president. Texas hospitals are losing $27 million a day. Parkland alone is out $528,000 a day. The attorney general who won this case once has not filed anything.
The House returned from recess and spent its week on socialism resolutions, mining permits, whales, the Supreme Court, and a bill punishing colleges for boycotting Israel. Nobody voted on the premiums that just went up 58%. Here is every Republican with a report card who voted yes.
In 2017 Wittman touted 60 votes to repeal and replace the ACA. In January 2026 he was one of 17 Republicans who voted to extend its subsidies — after they had already expired. Since then 94,000 Virginians have dropped their coverage.

On October 20, CMS froze another $1.2 billion in Medicaid payments to California, its largest deferral yet, on top of about $2.2 billion already withheld this year.

The state's Medicaid director says CMS has not pointed to any major fraud concerns.
The HON rule covered about 220 petrochemical plants and six of the worst chemicals they emit. All nine of the Biden EPA's air-toxics rules have been or are now being rescinded, revised, or reconsidered, and a rewrite all but certain to weaken the HON rule is due this fall.
