One Halloween I dressed up as the GOP's Healthcare plan. I never made it out of the House.

For Idahoan Brittany Rush, increased premiums will make health insurance unaffordable in 2026. If Congress doesn’t extend the enhanced premium tax credits, this will be the reality for millions of Americans across the country.

Leaked document. Yikes, things are about to get much worse. It looks like we’re on the verge of becoming a military state across the country. Step out of line, and the man come and take you away.

I always get drawn back to Al Gore telling voters that he’d only raise taxes on the top 1% and then after the election a poll showed that something like 20% of voters thought they were in the top 1% and another 20% thought they would be in the next five years. Just a total tragic disconnect.

Congratulations to new Nobel Peace Prize laureate María Corina Machado for her courageous struggle to bring democracy to Venezuela.

The legacy of vaccines, a bipartisan public health achievement uniting science and policy, is under serious threat and erodes decades of progress. Unfounded changes to procedure and recommendations will cause confusion and reduce access.

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

Our own @awright2care.bsky.social breaks down the facts about the premium tax credits that help millions of working-class Americans afford health insurance. Congress must act NOW to extend these tax credits and keep health care costs from spiraling out of control. www.c-span.org/program/wash...

Aaron Judge just created a meme... #Yankees

“We shouldn’t need a shutdown to prevent a massive spike in health insurance premiums. After an election on affordability, GOP leaders are betraying their own voters to shut down the government to avoid extending tax credits that help 20M Americans afford health care" medcitynews.com/2025/10/heal...

On her trip to DC to tell Congress how important Medicaid is to her family, Theresa Luoni visited the Families USA office and shared some of her story with @awright2care.bsky.social.

An incredibly important election in a tiny country just went the right way. Moldova has resisted a huge Russian disinformation campaign and will not become a Russian puppet state.

It’s got to be so wild trying to teach law school classes now: “Um, yea, so there’s no such thing as ‘precedent’ or ‘law’ anymore — the law is just whatever John Roberts thinks helps Donald Trump the most right now.”

Just take a moment. The whole thing is a scam. They are terrible at governing. Terrible. And all the noise is to distract from their fundamental incompetence in governance.

So what happens if Republicans won’t extend the Biden-era boost to ACA subsidies? Put that question to @awright2care.bsky.social @larrylevitt.bsky.social and @charlesgaba.com Some of the numbers surprised even me www.thebulwark.com/p/if-the-gov...

Appreciated Ricky Martin since he was in Menudo... great medley starting with Vida Loca and ending with Cup of Life. How does he look that that while being my age...

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

Democrats should make a criminal referral to DOJ over Kennedy’s outrageous lying to the committee.

James Stroud, who is one of at least 21 FEMA employees, put on leave after signing a letter criticizing Trump’s disaster preparedness, discusses the culture of fear within the agency. “One thing that is underreported is the day to day agony and humiliation we’ve been suffering this whole time.”

As we see increasing premium costs as a result of Republican health care cuts, @awright2care.bsky.social shares advice on how you can be smart shoppers and active advocates in the fight to lower health care costs.

Republican’s health care cuts are resulting in skyrocketing premiums for health care consumers across the country. Watch @awright2care.bsky.social highlight some of these premium rate increases and tell your Congressmember to ACT NOW to extend tax credits to help people afford health care coverage.

Watch the full briefing here, including remarks from Families USA’s @awright2care.bsky.social: www.youtube.com/live/ftJsue1...

The number of children injured or killed by cars while walking or riding a bike has fallen steadily since the 1970s, but CDC researcher note that this decline is not because streets are safer, but because fewer kids are out and about in the first place.

Americans who purchase coverage as individuals will will face a one-two punch in their premiums next year: double digit increases in the base rate & expiration of enhanced tax credits--both deliberate decisions in the President's budget bill passed by Congress. insurancenewsnet.com/innarticle/h...

Again: The 20-25% hike is just for *unsubsidized* rates. The vast majority of the ~24 million ACA exchange enrollees (myself included) are looking at MUCH higher rate hikes. In some cases, 3-4x as much or even more. acasignups.net/ira-subsidy-...

No joke.

Sigh...

I’d say that @stephencolbert.bsky.social is (with the lone exception of @maddow.msnbc.com) the most brilliant, humane person I’ve encountered in broadcasting. His mind works faster than anyone else’s at a level of sophistication that is unmatchable. Genuinely a generational talent.

Congress and President Trump’s actions in the big, bad budget bill will increase health care costs for all of us, as health care premiums skyrocket. Watch Executive Director @awright2care.bsky.social break down what this means for YOU.
