This donation pays only for about $100 per service member and is likely a violation of the Antideficiency Act.

So you should really watch this. Just 2 minutes. But a window into the truly radical nature of the people Trump is nominating. When pressed today, the nominee to be Ambassador to South Africa refuses to oppose reinstituting laws to prevent black people from voting in America.

So how long has the House been out of session? We should start keeping track on here like they did back in the day with the Iran hostages.

@aoc.bsky.social Tell Hakeem Jeffries (and the rest of Congress) it’s time to go back to work. Before too long, we’ll forget what it’s like to have had a working Congress. Or is that the point? We won’t even miss it when it’s gone. (Is it *already* gone?)

It’s about time Congress got back to work. At the point, it’s about ceding all their power to the executive branch.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

Breathe in the air the trees made. What you breathe out, they absorb; what they release, you draw into your soul. It's an ancient pact, older than memory, a silent exchange between root and rib, branch and breath. Stand among them, mindful, and breathe with the trees.

Without the extension of ACA credits, healthcare costs will increase nationwide. Wyoming will see a 693% increase, while West Virginia could see as high as 654%. We need to make healthcare affordable, not crush Americans with high costs.

Our job is not to throw 15 million people off health care and double insurance premiums for more than 20 million. Our job is not to shutter community health centers, nursing homes and rural hospitals. Our job is to fix a broken system and guarantee health care to all.

Trump has begun dismissing federal workers, with furloughed staff at the Department of Health and Human Services now facing permanent layoffs. The cuts are hitting the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention especially hard.

Nothing says “America First” like letting another country put an Air Force base in Idaho

Emergency Medicaid accounts for less than 1% of total #Medicaid spending, even in states with large undocumented populations. ja.ma/4mZsZSf

Agreed. Also this. ⬇️

Records obtained by ProPublica indicate that food banks across the country were expecting more than 27 million pounds of chicken, 2 million gallons of milk, 10 million pounds of dried fruit and 60 million eggs that never arrived.

The HPV vaccine is doing what had been promised. 17 years after it became available, HPV infections decreased significantly in vaccinated people and unvaccinated people because of herd immunity. buff.ly/WvjQ1BS h/t @boghuma.bsky.social #medsky #pedsky 🛟🧪

The vote with your dollar thing has never been more a thing.

Just a reminder that more Republicans are enrolled in Affordable Care Act health care plans than Democrats. Yet Republicans in Congress are refusing to negotiate to keep HealthCare.gov plans affordable.

Every American should see this They're having fun Thousands of Americans losing their jobs Millions of Americans will lose Healthcare Healthcare Insurance premiums skyrocket Grocery & Utilities costs soar They don't care They think it's funny Wake up Americans #TrumpsHealthCareShutdown

Fun fact: Even if federal money *was* being spent on Medicaid coverage for undocumented immigrants (it isn’t), the money wouldn’t be “going to illegal aliens.” It would be going to *healthcare providers*…ie, hospitals, doctors, etc. Medicaid enrollees don’t receive the money.

This is beyond disgusting.💔😡

Fun fact! If you’re a Republican getting a subsidy for your healthcare insurance through the ACA, you too will lose it regardless of whom you voted for in the last election. Now would be a good time to call your GOP reps and tell them to do their job, work with Dems, and preserve your subsidies!

Nobody cares about the victims in the Dallas ICE shooting apparently. The first I've heard about one of them was on CNN today. He's fighting for his life in the hospital --- he was brought to the US when he was 13. He's 33 now. No criminal record. I just don't know what to say anymore.

Today, I'm announcing a blueprint for the way forward in maternal health and birth equity in Illinois. I've committed this administration to making this the best state in the nation to raise a family. We cannot get there until it's safe and affordable for every mother to do so.

Rock solid "Mutha fukin wind farms!"🔥

👏👏👏👏

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

😱

I ask myself this question a least 100 times a day.

I would love to see an absolute shitstorm massive blowup in kindness. Like... a pandemic of niceness. A massive worldwide effort to do multiple kind things for strangers and neighbors and family every day. A trend so big it takes over social media and makes even the right wing news take notice.

A Black man and a homeless man were found hanging from trees in Mississippi yesterday, for those who haven’t seen yet because it’s barely made it out of local news.

In MN, locals were used to a scrappy stray bt friendly #chihuahua that carried himself like he owned the town. One day he suddenly disappeared. W/wolves closer to town, many feared he’d been eaten. Month later, a farmer’s trail camera revealed the truth. He was hanging w/a wolf pack. Bit more in ALT

Truth bomb‼️ This man should be the one speaking on college campuses… “They’re planning for us to turn on each other and make this culture war a civil war. I am begging you, please, for the love of God, for the love of our neighbors… do not take the bait.” Watch

In Detroit

Just thinking about how the right made up an entirely fictional left wing character that resulted in so many bomb threats and the like and nobody will face consequences. But people on the left who accurately clocked the victim’s life work lost jobs.
