California is the #1 agricultural producing state in the US, and Adam Schiff voted to confirm a completely unqualified nonentity who’s solution to egg prices is that everyone should just raise chickens.

Important: 92 years ago, when Hitler took power in 1933, Germany turned into a militarized state. Roadblocks and checkpoints tracked people, enforced Nazi laws, and crushed dissent. Jews, opponents, and others were policed at every turn. Then came the ghettos, the camps… and you know the rest.

This behavior screams "I don't have friends that will pull me in when I'm wrong."

I watched an interesting interview recently with @mehdirhasan.bsky.social and @keithellison.bsky.social where Hasan repeatedly tried to ask Ellison questions about Schumer/Jeffries. His response? "Look man, I have to work with these people everyday, I can't call them out".

This is the person who runs this app trolling users who asked why Jesse Singal (someone who is trying to destroy transgender people) isn't banned:

1. Led by Elon Musk, the far-right has exploded in a campaign to get Netflix to remove shows with queer and trans characters. If Netflix capitulates to their demands, an already strained market for LGBTQ+ animators might become even more dire. Subscribe to support our journalism.

I was sent this by a Georgian this morning. 2025 premiums vs 2026 premiums for someone making $65k a year. Republicans in Washington did this. This is what I'm fighting to stop. This is what’s at stake in this shutdown fight.

Same boat. We've decided to only insure my husband because I have lupus and they will allow pre-existing conditions to determine higher premiums again. So, I will be priced out.

$15k for single. Yep, got the letters of 2026 escalation. Magas don't understand that it will affect all premiums. But of course they only watch Fox so don't have a clue what's real any more.

$14k with $18k deductible for the wife and me. Essentially nothing is paid for.

Not a contest, but I pay $24,000 a year for my spouse and myself. The thing is, I'd be willing to pay this without complaint if it was a tax that ensured universal coverage for all. Right now it just feels like medical extortion.

We paid that for two of us with a $2500 deductible each and no dental or vision. Does everyone understand how much money you have to make to pay $25K per year before you can use even $1 of your health insurance? How stupid are so many Americans.

I pay $500 a month for healthcare. Its that low because my company is the underwriter however we have a $13K out of pocket max and a $9K deductible and I STILL pay more directly to the doctor.

Just for myself, I pay $13K/year. That dosen't include co-pays, medications etc. Most will not be able to afford much more, including me!! People will DIE!! 🤬😭

I gross $30K a year. I’m 75 now and now very marketable in order to supplement my fixed income. I pay $650/month (Medicare plus AARP supplemental), and I just got a letter from UHC that my monthly payment is going up $108/month. Highway robbery! FDT

Just think about the family that pays $600/mo for ACA Health insurance and on Jan 1 will have to pay $3000/mo if the Dems don’t defeat the GOP Trump MAGA regime

Prior to going on Medicare six years ago (tomorrow) my wife and I paid $1250.00 per month each for a basic plan with a $7K (each) deductible. It’s still about $1K per month for both of us. I’d rather pay higher taxes and have universal healthcare for all.

We pay 32k for a family of four. That’s a silver plan. It costs us 300 for an emergency room visit just to walk in the door, and I have to pay $8,500 per person out of pocket before my insurance covers 100%. That’s the cheapest plan without even more outrageous copays.

Did anyone else catch that the senate was about to pass a bill that would give anti-doxxing protections to every American and that was blocked so instead they passed a bill to give only themselves anti-doxxing protections???

Just 11% of Brits now see Brexit as a success. This is Farage’s one “achievement” - indeed he vowed to leave the country if it failed. What is he still doing here and why isn’t he asked about the disaster or Brexit in every interview? www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/how...

The DOJ’s Civil Rights Division sued six states—California, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, New Hampshire, and Pennsylvania—for failing to hand over their full, unredacted voter registration lists. The new legal actions signify a ramping up of the Trump administration’s voter-suppression agenda.

More than 100 million people in America — 41% of adults — are saddled with medical bills they can't pay. kffhealthnews.org/diagnosis-de...

Just as a former comms person, when I hear that politics is becoming all about comms, that means its become all about telling lies.

Rahm wants to make education part of his message? After singlehandedly destroying education in Chicago with his devastating mass school closures?! The gall.

Like Hakeem Jeffries either truly believes that we are just gonna ride this era out as a nation and it will be business as usual in 2028 OR he is being paid to behave this way. Either way, he needs to be primaried and voted out

Good morning my beautiful friends, Happy Sunday!! Kindness is the most beautiful gesture of humanity. And kind words are the least expensive way to give someone the gift of hope. Kind words Chan truly save someone’s day. Be kind and makes yours more positive in the process. Have a lovely day💙💙💙

UNTIL IT'S DONE, Ep. 2 When the Brownsville Clinic opened in 1916, it was the first birth control center in America. Its very existence felt impossible. For young women, it was a lifeline. 109 years later, the Clinic is long closed—but Brownsville mothers are still struggling.

@khalilsayegh.bsky.social 's father died from lack of medical attention in December 2023 while taking shelter in a church in Gaza. If he can still retain his humanity--and insist upon the incalculable preciousness of all life--so can we

Actually @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social has a much better claim to represent Jewish New Yorkers than Jonathan Greenblatt. Several mayoral polls show that Mamdani enjoys majority-or at least plurality-support among New York Jews. The only Jews who voted for Greenblatt are the donors on the ADL board.

OK I lol'd loudly at this.😂

I honestly do not care who is blamed for this shutdown. They all should be blamed because they are all part of the government and they are negotiating over what, ACA subsidies is it?, while the entire country burns.

Our Social Security system is FULLY AFFORDABLE, as long as we make the wealthy pay in at the same rate as the rest of us.

Starbucks is closing stores and cutting 900 jobs in a restructuring move. 1,100 jobs were slashed earlier this year. Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

I've been a healthcare advocate as well as a patient in Congress enough times to know that my life (and yours) is seen by many members as a data point. WE ARE NOT DATA, WE ARE FLESH AND BLOOD.

🔥PLEASE REPOST🔥 🚨If ACA tax credits are NOT extended, premium payments will increase by more than 100% for many of the 24M Americans who buy their own coverage & it's on top of rising food & housing costs among other inflationary pressures that are adding major STRESS.🚨 www.kff.org/from-drew-al...

Coming up on #KTLA: a CEO warns her employees that the company is 'upskilling our reinventors' on AI, and any worker who can't keep up will be 'exiting on a compression timeline.' Who talks like that?

I am annoyed at some, not all Americans who chose to sit out the 2024 election but it is honestly not even on my top 5 list of things that went catastrophically wrong here. The entire context of the election was shaped almost entirely by political/governing decisions.

I’m literally under siege daily by obnoxious Dem fundraising texts from all over the country. There is no way to stop or block them and there is never a plan, only a plea.

This COVID outbreak is no joke, gang. Lots of folks turning up positive. Time to * Get that new Vax if you can * Stock up on masks * Stock up on COVID tests - they are selling out * Make a battle plan to take care of yourself if you need to quarantine * Avoid larger events if you are vulnerable
