My health insurance premiums will more than double in January. I pay a little less than $500/month for my current silver plan. I just reapplied and my new premium will be $1062/month. And don’t forget: I still have a co-pay for every visit and pay for prescriptions.

OMG this is awesome

As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

The Jewish Space Lasers always win.

BREAKING: Sen. Elissa Slotkin says police responded to her home tonight in response to a bomb threat. Slotkin wasn't at home at the time. This is two days after Trump said Slotkin and other Democrats committed "seditious conspiracy, punishable by death."

Thanksgiving-Cyber Monday, I'm ignoring Target, Home Depot, & Amazon. I'm tired of corporations enabling this administration ditching DEI & allowing ICE to terrorize our communities. Join me! #WeAintBuyingIt 🚫 app.sosha.ai/s/iobAz8fa

the Harvard Crimson called Epstein a “child sex offender” while the Chronicle of Higher Ed called him a “disgraced financier” and that pretty much sums up where we are with higher ed journalism

Most rapists operate on the premise that they can not only overpower the victim physically, but can do so socially and legally. They count on a system that discounts the voices of victims and only too often cooperates in silencing them...

The National Weather Service Los Angeles has issued a Flood Advisory for recent burn scar areas, including in Pacific Palisades, as well as for portions of the San Fernando Valley through this evening.

It's unsurprising but nonetheless disturbing and disgusting to see how many "Christian" men are out here doing their damnedest to justify the rape and abuse of teenage girls.

Border Patrol has been targeting the elderly heavily. Today in Santa Ana, that’s almost all they took, including this man and his cane.

Disney has hiked prices and laid off hundreds of workers this year. Yet Disney paid its CEO $41B in 2024. It just reported a 36% increase in net profits for parks and streaming. And it plans to double stock buybacks next year. Remember this as Disney turns to AI.

These 8 Senators sold us out to Trump: Hassan King Cortez-Masto Shaheen Kaine Fetterman Durbin Rosen Understand This Fact: Chuck Schumer is behind this. None of these 8 are up for reelection in 2026. Schumer asked them vote yes—they agreed. He's such a coward that he folded and won't even own it.

🚨 We’re hearing that Senate Democrats are on the verge of caving to Trump in another “Schumer Surrender.” That means your Democratic senators need to hear from you right now. Call: indivisible.org/resource/cal... Email: act.indivisible.org/sign/funding...

History has taught us that this is precisely when Donald Trump is most dangerous — and when Republicans turn to voter suppression, election subversion and worse. With the 2026 midterm elections less than a year away, Trump is already plotting his next moves. Here’s what we all need to prepare for.

The normalization of anti-Muslim rhetoric is reaching new levels. Yes, Loomer is nuts, but her extremist views at times become mainstream GOP thinking. Muslims are part of our nation’s fabric, just as Christians & Jews are. We’re all American. This bigotry needs to stop.

"When I picked up my granddaughter from the federal agents, she had a dirty diaper, a bruise on her face, and was developing a rash. She was exhausted and cried… My heart aches knowing this could happen to others, to my kids, or even me, despite being U.S. citizens.”

If only the Speaker put half as much energy into governing as he does into avoiding work. He still hasn’t sworn in Representative-elect Grijalva, people are hungry, planes are grounded, and Republicans are on vacation. They’re showing you exactly who they are. Believe them.

Is it good politics to ask the Supreme Court if you can continue starving people?

Today @TheNewYorker released our short documentary “Rovina’s Choice” online. It traces the ongoing effects of the sudden shutdown of US foreign aid through the story of one mother in Kenya as she seeks to save her daughter from sickness and starvation. 🎥 1/ www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

Your daily reminder that Republicans control the House, Senate and White House. They could reopen the government TODAY if they wanted to.

An analysis by @centeronbudget.bsky.social shows that the Administration is not releasing all available funds to cover SNAP. This outrageous and unlawful act hurts millions of families. We will not let them off the hook while millions go hungry. Join us in this fight.

BREAKING: Colorado voters approved a ballot measure that would raise state income taxes on higher-earning households to fund free meals for all public school students. Follow AP for live updates.

For the rest of the world, the single case of Mike Johnson refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva after her special election win, because Johnson knows her vote will tip the scales for the release of the Epstein files, is enough evidence by itself that the U.S. political system is broken and lawless.

Best treat of the night. #HappierHAMILLWEEN 🎃 😋

SNAP, the country's largest anti-hunger program, dates back to the Great Depression and has never been disrupted this way. Most recipients are seniors, families with kids, and those with disabilities.

812,000 Arizonans don't have a representative right now because Republicans refuse to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva. The GOP must stop playing games with our democracy.

It's less than 24 hours after 5-8 million Americans marched against a president who called them domestic terrorists, and there is zero reference to it on the current NYT home page, except for a Bouie op/ed that came out several days earlier.

Another incredible turnout #nokings studio city (Los Angeles), so much joy and solidarity, not to mention creative sign making

Such extremism! So much terror!

Millions of seniors and others lost access to virtual care when Medicare’s COVID-era telehealth waivers expired Oct. 1. Congress could have extended this lifeline. Instead, Trump and MAGA Republicans shut the government down.

Hitlergate wasn't "kids"—it was 20- and 30-something GOP flacks.

Thirty years after the UN Women’s Conference in Beijing, which produced the action plan on women’s rights, it seems that we are losing ground in combatting violence against women. A shocking 1 in 3 women experience physical or sexual violence. And now digital violence against women is rising.

Misogyny is a foundational aspect of many forms of hate — but it’s often overlooked, serving as a type of gendered blind spot. The first episode of "Man Up: Conversations on Gendered Hate in the Digital Age" with @milleridriss.bsky.social explores that blind spot through the issue of antisemitism.
