Me too

Me either. But if they can just learn to be satisfied with a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, a corn tortilla and one other thing…

My max out of pocket for the two of us stayed at $14,400, but premiums went from $1900 to $2300. Crazy.

That’s a MASSIVE jump, Lisa. About the same % increase as my healthcare premiums this year.

Our healthcare system is broken.

You’re doing such important work. Thank you.

Very true. I never had to worry about pre-existing conditions, but now I do.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

Where’s the laugh button when you need it!

Shocked

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”

That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

He brought a “billboard” to a protest? Tell me you’ve never been to a protest before.

AG Bondi demands access to Minnesota voter rolls after fatal Border Patrol shooting Her demand came as Minneapolis was reeling from a second fatal shooting by a federal agent this month.

If you want proof that Trump is going to try to rig the elections, here it is:

In a letter to Gov. Tim Walz Saturday, Bondi claimed that Walz could “restore the rule of law” by complying with a list of demands, including giving the Department of Justice (DOJ) the state’s voter registration records.

To any ICE agents reading this who are from down south—you have never experienced anything like this cold. Our European climate equivalent is literally Stalingrad. It will hurt to breathe. You will be outside in it. So will we, but we are used to it.

Next week is what will break you.

Republicans are going to laugh at Democrats and do nothing on healthcare. They will continue helping Trump fulfill Project 2025.

Dems learn nothing.

If Schumer thinks a no vote will absolve him of responsibility, he’s dead wrong. He’s the minority leader. It‘s his job to keep Senate Dems in line — or to hand over the job to someone who can.

I've looked at all the details of this deal to end the shutdown reached by a small group of Senate Democrats. I've talked to a number of friends on the Hill to see if there's anything I'm missing. Sadly, I am not.

This is a shit deal. It's a betrayal. It's cowardice.

Dear Senate Dems,

Republicans don’t keep their promises…

He has the math wrong. But even if he’s correct, he’s asking someone to eat 3 meals a day on $11. Or $77 per week. I’d like to see him try it.
