In 48 other states, new moms have access to Medicaid for up to one year after they give birth. Not in Wisconsin. There, the limit remains two months. And it’s only because of one man: Assembly Speaker Robin Vos. / My latest story for @propublica.org www.propublica.org/article/wisc...

Starbucks workers have dealt with chaotic schedules, chronic short staffing, low wages, and unfair labor practices for far too long. @sbworkersunited.org is on strike to push stalled negotiations forward and demand the respect and stability they deserve. Solidarity with every barista on the line.

If workers unionizing together didn’t work, CEOs wouldn’t be hiring entire firms to stop them. Unions shift power, and corporate America hates that. Let’s keep up the momentum and give them more to hate.

Quiet displays of support for striking Starbucks baristas have begun appearing at the coffee giant's Seattle headquarters.

Massachusetts AG Campbell: What you heard from the president and the speaker is total bullshit. Let’s take a step back. Never in the history of this country — during a war or an emergency shutdown — has the federal government ever stopped funding SNAP benefits for our most vulnerable.

All I can say is I attended a Democratic Party event in DALLAS, TEXAS 10 days ago with officials and candidates and the biggest cheers were for Mamdani and the most questions/most frequent topic of conversation was Epstein. We should not overthink this.

“Following the arrival of the U.S. Border Patrol in Charlotte Saturday morning, hundreds of protesters gathered at First Ward Park in the afternoon and marched through uptown, delivering a clear message to federal agents: ‘Get out’...” www.charlotteobserver.com/news/politic...

Them: “I’m sick of subsidizing their groceries when mine cost so much” SNAP does not drive up grocery prices. That would be inflation, tariffs & corporate greed. For every $1 spent on SNAP there’s a $1.50 going back into the economy. While you’re blaming the poor, the rich are robbing everyone.

$96 million for 120 days of work for Starbuck’s CEO. $15/hour for baristas fighting for enough hours to qualify for benefits. That’s not leadership, that’s straight-up greed.

Republicans dropped a last-minute provision into the funding bill that would funnel millions of taxpayer dollars to eight Republican senators. People can't afford their food or health care and Republicans are only concerned with enriching themselves.

Mayor Brandon Johnson got it done. The only thing Bovino is ratcheting up are violations in Use of Force, “I fired 5 rounds and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book boys.” Look forward to the lawsuits by apartment tenants/owner for the intentional harm/trauma inflicted. GTFOH adhered to.

This budget will leave Americans without proper support – astronomical healthcare costs or no coverage at all, zero protections for federal workers past January 30, leaving veterans without clarity or coverage, and more chaos and corruption.

Do Congressional Republicans hate working Americans? Because that’s what this bill makes it seem like.

Dear Humans, Trump is in a full out panic. He hasn’t posted in 24 hours. It’s time to make him the pedophile formerly known as president. If you could do that God would be so happy. Love, God

Since Jan, the Trump Admin has evaded accountability through a series of unprecedented, irresponsible & often illegal steps — reversing long-standing bipartisan commitments to integrity & transparency. This increases the risk of fraud & makes it hard to detect Administration wrongdoing.

In the Administration's first week, the President illegally removed, without cause, 15 of the 25 presidentially appointed and Senate-confirmed inspectors general from their roles. The mass firing of IGs was, according to a District Court judge, an “obvious” violation of the Inspector General Act.

Trump refusing to take the L on the California Clapback — instead wants to go take another L in court. Man, they really don’t like democracy. “California voters overwhelmingly approved Proposition 50” apnews.com/article/cali...

A Black Hawk helicopter. SWAT teams repelling to the roof. 300 agents. Flash-bang grenades. A TV crew. “It’s 20,000 of them running through my house like we got Saddam Hussein in the closet." For all that, fed prosecutors filed no criminal charges against anyone who was arrested. Stunning report.

Millions of people are bracing for impossible choices. If Republicans rip away the ACA tax credits, premiums jump 114%. When care becomes unaffordable, people skip meds, skip doctors, and get sick. That’s families losing care they depend on.

Host: Agonizing decisions facing millions of Americans buying health care on the ACA marketplace. Nearly all 24 million people who have marketplace insurance receive the tax subsidy, but that is going away. Allowing the subsidies to expire would cause premiums to skyrocket 114%

NPR reported this morning that, based on their review of the #Epstein emails released yesterday, Trump’s name appeared more than 1,000 times in the document— "I have met some very bad people, none as bad as #Trump. Not one decent cell in his body." - Jeffrey Epstein

Has anyone mentioned what a gift it was to Trump to reopen the government basically the same day that the Epstein emails were released? Convenient timing.

GOP: “Dems are coming for your guns” Dems: “Republicans are coming for your children.”

Amid everything else I had almost forgotten that even without a pardon, Trump has offered Ghislaine Maxwell amenities unexplainable by anything but some sort of quid pro quo.

Current scientific evidence does not support a causal link between the gut microbiome and autism, with past studies limited by small sample sizes and methodological flaws.

Just so we are clear here, health insurance premiums in America are about to double, if not triple, and deductibles are skyrocketing. But WE are giving 40 billion fucking dollars to Argentina. Argentina has Universal Health Care.

I left out the part where copays for office visits are doubling, and copays for prescriptions are projected to triple. But hey, billionaires and Argentinians will be fine while Americans will die. Interesting tactic of Making Americans Healthy Again.

“If you’re just an average citizen, you can’t even get in the line,” said a lawyer rep'ing a man seeking a pardon for decades-old tax crimes. “I told my guy he’d probably be better off if he broke into the Capitol or made a major donation to Trump’s inauguration.”

We started Indivisible in 2016 because a future Trump appointee was talking about the WWII Japanese internment camps as a model for immigrants at the same time that Schumer was talking about finding common ground with Trump.

Good fucking morning to everyone except every MAGA official who’s covering up for Donald Trump’s involvement in Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes. They knew about these emails that implicate Trump. They knew he was at the house, on the plane, and that he spent time with the victims. THEY KNEW.

Do you folks think Republicans will welcome release of the Epstein Files now as an off-ramp to cut Trump loose to prevent a record setting wipeout in 2026?

I never imagined I’d need to turn to our judicial system to explain the importance of America’s scientific research, but here we are. Thanks to @BrennanCenter.org for highlighting my amicus brief 1/2

Please don’t think this beltway game of having retiring Dem senators vote yes while everyone else votes no is going to shield leadership from the end result. We see what is happening and can’t be fooled by those games.

Dems have spent the past two months saying they're fighting to address the crisis of spiking healthcare costs and now they're caving for a deal that does nothing to address healthcare costs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

80% of Democratic voters want a new leader in the Senate. Does that matter at all to Democratic senators?

How many Democrats will suddenly vote with Republicans not to release the Epstein files?
