Greene said she’s “not a fan” of Obamacare but complained that her “own adult children’s insurance premiums for 2026 are going to DOUBLE” if Congress ignores the issue.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., broke with her party Monday evening by calling for action on expiring Obamacare subsidies to avoid premium hikes, adding a prominent MAGA voice to the cause led by Democrats.
In a long post on X, Greene, the far-right MAGA firebrand, made it clear she was not in Congress when the 2010 law passed.
“Let’s just say as nicely as possible, I’m not a fan,” she wrote. “But I’m going to go against everyone on this issue because when the tax credits expire this year my own adult children’s insurance premiums for 2026 are going to DOUBLE, along with all the wonderful families and hard-working people in my district.”

Fucking conservatives cannot care about something until it directly affects them.
Yes, but, at least we have that? Also, with the house 50/50, having any sitting representative defect would be big.
There’s still hope. We also have top brass in the militaries scoffing at Hedgweth, the midterms coming up, and even Trump possibly recognizing that Fox News is lying to him. Plus the lawsuits delaying deployment of our militaries into the cities.
There is still hope, and no one can predict the future.
No because the way conservatives work is that they’ll complain only when things happen to them, and then completely shut up about it once they realize their side doesn’t care. They’ll take having things worse over speaking out against their own party. They are a cult and are not able to think for themselves.
If cult says double premiums are a good thing, they’ll privately grumble and then take it on the chin.
This this this. Show me a conservative that a) can understand that different people are affected by different things at different times, b) that people in government need to accept (a), and c) that they aren’t the main character, and I’ll show you Half Life 3.
Are leopards eating her face?
Her children’s faces, apparently.
Hope the leopard is hungry, there are a lot of faces needing a trim.
Something sure is
Republicans: when MGT is making more sense than the majority of you, you know you done fucked up.
What the fuck is up with this broken clock?!?
I think part of it is she isn’t fully part of the GOP establishment. So when her opinion is different than them, she actually has the balls to vote her belief not party lines.
I expect more of this.
The party identity is based on opposition. Like a petulant child. It’s connected to the conspiratorial thinking: “THEY are tricking us!”
Since there is no science and Truth is a personal, felt revelation, they cannot maintain a unified picture of the world
Yeah, maybe nobody is sure what she believes, but she does believe it and that’s almost refreshing.
She can play off the “maverick/rogue” schtick
Doesn’t mean she’ll actually do anything that could hinder the Party.
She’s a rabid dog pointed a useful direction for once. Let her go to work, just don’t turn your back on her.
Upside down world
Have the day you voted for.
The grunts emitted by the Neanderthal is making more sense than usual.
Please don’t insult Neanderthals like that. Evidence shows they were peaceful and comparatively intelligent.
And cared for their fellow thals.
Yeah fair, the trouble with her DNA probably has more to do with a long succession of far too closely related ancestors.
If there was ever a sign we need to check our carbon monoxide detectors, here it is.
Good for MTG. Not something I say often.
