The ACA did 3 big things in the insurance market: 1. Guaranteed access irrespective of pre-existing conditions. 2. Required benefits like maternity and mental health, and prohibited lifetime and annual limits. 3. Provided tax credits to help people afford insurance.

One of several top CDC officials to leave their post this week—after Kennedy fired the agency’s director for refusing to “rubberstamp unscientific, reckless directives"—is telling all. Including that Kennedy has never been briefed by any of the center’s scientists on major diseases. trib.al/j3PrEDR

We, the workers of the statewide Maine Trust for Local News are excited to kick off our new campaign to bring the entire company under One Big Union. As our work grows increasingly unified, so should our representation. It's time to bring the whole company together. Sign out petition here!

Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations. The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.
