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.”

    She should break them off some of those millions she made from the insider trading over the tariff bullshit.

    I do wonder why she’s diverting from her pack on more and more things, though.

    Very odd.

    Wonder if she actually believed in the cult, but was also serious about being a politician? And now there’s conflict because she’s realizing she was duped?

      I think they take turns. Ted Cruz sometimes breaks away, and then he’s right back. Sometimes the next day. They must not want to look super evil as a block or something? I can tell it’s working, but I’m not sure how.
