Math isn't Republicans strong point.

Assuming this really is all that happens, couldn’t this sort of thing been done via zoom call?

that was fast

The current debate over ACA enhanced premium tax credits can get wonky and arcane. But, it's not nearly as arcane as the effort by Republicans to limit ACA risk corridor payments in the 2014 government spending bill.

Global health leaders expressed dismay at Kennedy's objection but vowed to move forward without the support of the U.S.

Republicans are hellbent on making your health care costs go up, even if it shuts down the government.

If Comey is being indicted for lying to Congress, I call for the immediate indictment of Clarence Thomas, Brett Kavanaugh, and RFK Jr.

Musk, Thiel and Bannon named in copies of Epstein's daily schedules released by Democrats

Re: Comey’s impending indictment. Nobody should support this. You don’t want to live in a place where the president can have you indicted via tweet. I’m sure we’re going to skip right over the GOP folks who did the same thing they’re saying Comey did, too.

Democrats are pushing for an extension of enhanced ACA tax credits because health care has always been a priority for the party and Obamacare is a signature policy achievement. But, people in red states would be hurt the most if the tax credits expire. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/h...

Vance leads a segment of the right-wing commentariat which seems determined to offer statements as if Donald Trump were not the president. www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...

The president does not believe in free speech and his administration’s efforts to punish critics and coerce media outlets will continue until he can turn on his TV, flip through the channels, and see nothing but Fox-style propaganda on every network. www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...

Boston Globe says Kennedy must go! www.bostonglobe.com/2025/09/24/o...

"Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 Million Dollars. This one sounds even more lucrative.” Bowing down to a bully never works. And we can’t become numb to this corruption in plain sight.

In the US, so many people are scared to speak out against Trump, they just throw money at him to keep him from cooking up fake lawsuits and throwing tantrums. Meanwhile, the mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, flat-out called Trump “racist, sexist, misogynistic, and Islamophobic.”

The only shootings Trump cares about are the ones he can use it to demonize Democrats.

A new gene therapy trial slowed Huntington’s Disease by an average of 75% in patients. It involves delivery of a modified but safe virus that produces microRNA in the brain to counteract mutations in the huntingtin gene. We can achieve amazing things when we fund science!

When someone claims that US overly invests into UN.. Show them this picture. This is UNHQ.

Meanwhile, the FBI Director today posted images from the Dallas shooting and attributed the acts to a particular motive before investigators have even begun their work.

Let's talk about Tylenol and pregnancy. Fundamentally, this is about making sure women do not get one ounce of relief, but it's also about criminalization. How long do you think it's going to be before they arrest someone for taking Tylenol during a pregnancy? We are going down that road.

In honor of @jimmykimmel.com returning, I’m reposting this reminder of the time he stood up for healthcare for his son and tens of millions of other Americans: acasignups.net/17/09/19/upd...

Enhanced ACA premium tax credits were originally passed as part of an economic relief package during the COVID pandemic. But, Democrats have long pushed for increased premium assistance, including Joe Biden during the 2020 campaign.

Weird how quiet MAGA has been about the straight white ex-Trump supporter who tried to kill their hero.

When our outrage translates into withholding our consumer dollars, a big corporation like Disney is forced to listen – and respond. Next time you’re feeling powerless, remember this.

While spreading lies about Tylenol and autism. These are contradicted by multiple studies by both US and international health organizations. The admisistration is delaying the military's clean up of forever chemicals, which have strong links to cancer. MAHA my a$$! www.nytimes.com/2025/09/23/c...

I knew it.

The most important thing to know about Trump’s acetaminophen announcement is that the GOP is still hiding the Epstein files

One additional good thing about the successful pushback against Disney is the fact that other corporations have watched this play out. They’re going to be less likely to risk the incalculable brand damage Disney has incurred in order to respond reflexively to Trump admin and right-wing pressure.

Jimmy Kimmel returns tomorrow. This is an important victory for free speech. Remember that it was YOU all using your power TOGETHER that got a gigantic corporation to reverse itself. Bless everyone who participated in telling Mickey Mouse to fuck off.

404 Media filed a lawsuit against ICE demanding they publish their $2 million contract with Paragon, which makes powerful spyware that can remotely break into mobile phones and access encrypted messaging apps without the target even clicking a link, as ICE continues Trump’s mass deportation effort.

Well I guess these decisions blow a hole in Barrett's BS defense of the corrupt court publicity tour.

Ugh. Court in shadow docket decision, agrees to reconsider Humphrey's Executor and permits Trump to violate it in the interim. Kagan in dissent: “Our emergency docket should never be used, as it has been this year, to permit what our own precedent bars." Or to transfer power from Cong to Exec.

I understand Miller doesn’t like being called Goebbels, but maybe - and I’m just spitballing here - he should stop plagiarizing Goebbels speeches

After enacting the largest SNAP cuts in history, Trump is now scrapping the federal government's annual report on hunger in America. The utter cruelty of this regime knows no bounds.

Let’s be clear: Every year the retirement age is raised is a 7% benefit cut. Instead of cuts, Social Security can afford to INCREASE benefits if millionaires and billionaires pay their fair share!

Before his speech at Charlie Kirk's memorial, Donald Trump was in the Epstein files. During his speech at Charlie Kirk's memorial, Donald Trump was in the Epstein files. After his speech at Charlie Kirk's memorial, Donald Trump was in the Epstein files.

These middle-income ACA enrollees could be an important constituency once they start hearing about their eye-popping premium increases if enhanced tax credits expire. They include farmers, small business owners, and self-employed people.

the dumb have not covered themselves in glory... 1) if lots of people take Tylenol because it is the most readily available pain reliever 2) There will be a lot of people who have autism whose parents have ALSO... taken Tylenol 3) The occurrence does not prove causality

Just thought I should add: I’m *not* rooting for a shutdown, which would be awful. But Dems simply agreeing to whatever bullshit Thune puts in front of them would be awful as well. There’s no good option here for Dems, only degrees of bad options. Terrible things will happen either way.

“Pedophile SuperBowl” FTW.

Goodbye summer 2025. We had so much fun! Thanks! #Summer2025 #Sunset

@aoc.bsky.social FTW 🔥

To be absolutely clear on what just happened here, Trump ousted this veteran career prosecutor *precisely because* he would *not* cook the facts to bring a corrupt prosecution against one of Trump's leading enemies. To Trump, refusing to prosecute his foes for fake crimes is a firing offense.

Fact

@anntelnaes.bsky.social was correct

Trump to a female reporter who tries to ask him about his plans for Memphis: "Quiet. You're really obnoxious ... I'm not gonna talk to you until I call on you."

It’s been sad this year watching how the White House press corps refuses to back each other up. Here a female journalist is insulted and denigrated and the next male reporter just moves on to a new question. You’re all in this together, folks. Time & again, they won’t stand up for their colleagues.

This has been baffling to watch as a reporter outside the WH. Standing up for your counterparts from other orgs is just something to do as a good person and also important to stand up for our profession generally. We’ve learned that being a quisling will not save you or your org!
