Exactly right!

If Congress doesn’t act quickly to permanently extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits, health insurance premiums will more than DOUBLE for 22 million people. Fund the government. Fix the health care crisis. Put working people first.

Mark Kelly: “lf you are undocumented in our country, you cannot get healthcare from the Affordable Care Act exchange. You are not eligible for Medicare. You are not eligible for Medicaid. They’re just making that up. They just like to blame brown people.”

Federal agents hurled tear gas at people on a busy Logan Square street, outside a grocery store and near an elementary school. Reckless, undertrained ICE hires are a danger to everyone. This is terrorism against US citizens.

Mr Rowan is quite right that we could lose our global edge in higher education — by yielding to the eccentric and in this case authoritarian ideas of bullying, oligarchic alumni. His compact would put US universities on roughly the same footing as Russia’s. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/03/u...

A Washington Post poll finds 61% of American Jews say Israel has committed war crimes in Gaza, and about 4 in 10 say it’s committing genocide. wapo.st/42kNv8o

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

An FBI agent was reportedly fired for refusing to arrange a “perp walk” of the bureau’s former director, James Comey, in front of news media cameras

This is fascism.

I am sickened by today’s attack in Manchester. Antisemitism is on the rise around the world, and we must do all we can to stomp it out. I am grateful to first responders and congregants who showed incredible bravery, and I am praying for those who were killed.

"Republicans currently run a House committee investigating former President Joe Biden’s 'Mental Decline Cover-Up.' Notice how their framing assumes guilt from the start. Democrats should adopt identical framing approaches for Trump investigations."

The former director of the Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library in Abilene, Kansas, said on Thursday that he was told to “resign or be fired” from his post after refusing to give the Trump administration a historic sword.

This is classic authoritarian behavior: using official power to cut off information access. Doing so thru the Apple App Store is simply a modern day avenue; of course DOJ won’t stop here. Likely gearing up to cut off messenger apps too. Thnx @mmasnick.bsky.social: www.techdirt.com/2025/10/03/d...

“But what if antisemitism and Islamophobia, instead of existential opposites, are two sides of one coin, always in each other’s company? The two prejudices are not antitheses, as usually understood, but related aspects of one tradition of denigration.” From James Caroll: trib.al/2d2E7dR
