Five Questions About Senate Majority Leader John Thune’s DHS-and-Reconciliation Nightmare talkingpointsmemo.com/fivepoints/f...

Kansas Republicans stopped a bill that would’ve expanded free breast cancer screenings from advancing. Outrageous is an absolute understatement.

The ICE operations in Manhattan courts that advocates and politicians consistently warned appeared illegal were, in fact, illegal.

It’s time to re-stack the deck for working people and fight back against a system that favors the rich at the expense of everyone else.

The DSA Left is trying to normalize terrorism in its embrace of Hasan Piker, and too many Democratic politicians are collaborting with them. I applaud Rep. Schneider. I also want DNC chair @kenmartin.bsky.social to speak out against it. The Democratic Party can’t countenance terrorism.

Groceries. Gas. Now packages. Is there anything Donald Trump hasn't made more expensive? Call it what it is: the Trump Mail Tax.

I have to admit I got a real "Cabinet Meeting Scene from 'Dave'" vibe from this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZARA...

And he’ll deserve the loss. And Democrats will deserve it. Mills is a better candidate, person, & Democrat if that word has meaning. The guy with an income cap paying his wife for a campaign job can’t be trusted. He’s not better than a Republican vote because we can’t trust he won’t be one.

I don’t care about his closeness with Seth Frantzman & Seth’s IDF ties. But I l do care about the Blackwater fridge magnet you can see in the background while every fundraising text the guy’s team sends out is hostile about Americans who support Israel when he’s had staffers quit over his SS tattoo.

“Oh she’s old”. Who cares? So is the whole state, it’s 1 of the oldest in the country, & Angus King is older than she is. If you’re crying this much about Mills showing his “the rape victims deserved it” comments, what are you gonna do when Collins talks about him slurring cops & the military?

I genuinely do not believe he is harm reduction from Collins voting with Democrats maybe 5% of the time. Janet Mills is a great Governor. She’s expanded Medicaid, expanded narcan access, actively fought Trump to protect the LGBTQIA+ community, has always championed women, & has been a trailblazer.

I don’t trust a guy who signed up for Abu Ghraib duty after the worst & actively trashed Blackwater’s training after the Fallujah ambush but then turned around & joined Constellis w/ his 90% PTSD & TBI rating & his little totenkompf while he spewed racist, homophobic, sexist, & other hateful trash.

Robert Heinlein called it 79 years ago... (of course he assumed that the Nazis wouldn't be the U.S. Government...)

Rep. Brad Schneider (D-IL) calling out antisemite Hasan Piker. More of this from Democrats, please.

Using the actual ballot language, it’s actually passing lol

Hey @katmabu.bsky.social is this accurate? Have you endorsed Biss as of yet? If so, glad to hear it. If not, could you clarify your reasoning? Thanks.

News --> More than 100 Jewish faculty and staff members at Harvard write an open letter saying Trump's attacks on the university, done in the name of fighting "antisemitism," are actually contrary to the interests of Jewish people:

I worked hard to lower the cost of insulin for the over 100,000 Maine people living with diabetes, including signing a law years ago to cap the cost of insulin at $35/month for those on state insurance. I'll continue to advocate on their behalf in the Senate.

The state of New York is apparently working with insurance carriers to slash the deductibles for these 450K enrollees in half for the 2nd half of 2026 to help mitigate the blow to their finances (which I guess makes sense since they'll only be enrolled in the policy for half the year anyway).

Adding insult to injury, the GOP *also* let the enhanced tax credits to expire, which means those ~450K newly-uninsured enrollees, who have been paying almost nothing, will now have to pay between 6.6 - 8.4% of their income in premiums alone. For a single adult earning $39K/yr, that'd be $273/mo.

As a result, in order to preserve coverage for as many New Yorkers as possible, the state had to retool the Essential Plan back so that it only covers residents who earn 138 - 200% FPL...meaning that around 450K enrollees will be kicked off & will instead have to enroll via the ACA exchange.

The short version: New York's "Essential Plan" for low-income residents provides nearly $0-cost comprehensive coverage for ~1.75 million New Yorkers who earn between 138 - 250% of the Federal Poverty Level. Due to the GOP's #BigUglyBill, around half the funding of the program has been eliminated.

Thank you Attorney General @dananessel.bsky.social for standing up to Trump’s lawless administration. I’m working to make sure Congress keeps up this fight by diverting funding away from ICE’s lawlessness and ensuring real oversight. www.mlive.com/news/detroit...

NEW YORK: CMS approves NYSoH reverting Essential Plan back to Basic Health Plan authority; 450,000 New Yorkers to lose eligibility, 1.3 million to keep it (This is a direct result of the GOP's #BigUglyBill which slashed HALF the Essential Plan's funding) acasignups.net/26/03/25/new...

I’ve argued with people over candidates in primaries for yrs at this point. Sometimes it’s bad. Then the primary ends & the more important goal of harm reduction needs to take precedence whether I like the outcome or not. Fetterman always sucked no matter how much you want to blame his stroke…

He literally IS an adjudicated rapist and they STILL voted for him in the majority and have audacity to call Harris bad.

New @urbaninstitute.bsky.social estimates of two H.R. 1 cuts targeting #Medicaid expansion: work reporting requirements & 6 month renewals. Depending on state mitigation, expansion enrollment falls 5 to 10 million (27-55%) in 2028 compared to 18 million under prior law. www.urban.org/research/pub...
