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’s a very clever politician. She acted all wild, crazy super-MAGA when Trump’s popularity was waxing and she needed to build popularity in her very red home state. Now she’s got her seat more-or-less locked in and she is preparing for a run for president, so the insanity is toned down quite a bit and she is expressing views that have quite a bit of national popularity.

      I was going to say… what wasn’t on my bingo card, is MTG acting… fucking sane, almost consistently at this point.

      Healthcare, Epstein files, hell she actually did better on not giving weapons to isreal than AOC…

      Was she actually that ignorant and stupid when she started, but because it was ignorance and not corruption… she can actually learn? Or maybe she actually had some kind of mental illness, and she’s secretly getting it treated now that she has government level healthcare?

      I know that more likely than not the shoe is going to drop… but it’s like she’s magically changed from Sarah Palin to John McCain.
