His wife was in her early 40s when she got cancer. If she had had only a “ catastrophic plan that is affordable” it would have been a financial nightmare for them. He can’t really be this stupid, can he?

They’re just jealous because theirs are so small.

Berkeley getting its groove back

@Hey hey ho ho DONALD TRUMP HAS GOT TO GO!

Walking from campus to downtown Berkeley. I hear the ghosts of protests past.

Fuck Ice

No Kings protest on Berkeley campus rn.

No Kings protest on UC Berkeley campus. “I’m taking back the flag!”

Pritzker: "Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law. So he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget."

Otto Dietrich vibes

Seems like Democrats could find the same info and hire the people who put together videos like this. But they never seem to do so.

Good. VP Vance, who thinks the outcry to the vile group chat is “pearl clutching,” should do the same.

Democrats shouldn't let go of these Young Republican messages. Have the right-wing defend it. The VP, JD Vance, already has, and the talking points have been delivered to the MAGA base. They keep deflecting and doing both sides, but nothing is comparable. Just keep it in the news.

From the party of “family values”

Of all the pieces Mike Johnson hasn't seen, the Politico Young Republican Nazis piece he will have not seen the hardest.

This the future of the Republican Party: vile, Nazi-embracing, craven losers.

“With your patient and rigorous work, you can act as a barrier against those who, through the ancient art of lying, seek to create divisions in order to rule by dividing,” he said. “You can be a bulwark of civility against the quicksand of approximation and post-truth...” apnews.com/article/pope...

Tell Congress to get back to work, cancel GOP healthcare cuts, and finally deal with Trump’s Epstein scandal!

www.nbcnews.com/health/healt... A bubbling measles outbreak in the upstate of South Carolina has forced 153 unvaccinated children out of the classroom and into quarantine for a minimum of 21 days. In Minnesota, 118 students are also under quarantine in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area.

aaand we are officially in the hide-your-neighbors stage

Berkeley is a good place to live.

Same

It won't be long before juries will start hearing defenses of citizens who intervene, being "the defendant reasonably doubted the legality of the abduction". And the burden will shift to the prosecution to show that it was clear.

Democrats are fighting to stop your family’s health insurance premiums from doubling.

A baby in Mississippi has died of whooping cough for the first time since 2012. The infant was less than two months old and was not old enough to receive the pertussis vaccine. buff.ly/8epl2QS

AOC stars in new ad urging California to vote "yes" on new redistricting map. "Donald Trump is redrawing election maps to force through a Congress that only answers to him ... With Prop. 50, we can stop him."

🤮

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable. This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed. From me for @rollingstone.com: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

There are signs that while ICE is driving around, they may be scouting out homes where they see any signs laborers are present. If you have people working for you, whether it’s roofers, painters, landscapers, carpenters, whatever, you should have a plan to protect them if ICE shows up.

Now that's a campaign video. 👇🏽

it is no coincidence that the worst fuckin people u know are utterly incurious, proudly anti-science, and completely lacking any sense of humor

Anyone checked in with Ezra Klein about how we all just need to learn to live together and that apparently means allowing the government to shut down the speech of anyone it doesn't like?

Prosecutors must drop charges against two Cincinnati journalists arrested while covering a protest. Their jury trials are scheduled in just a couple weeks. A coalition of rights groups and journalism professors explained why this prosecution is so dangerous.

A great piece of journalism, so thoroughly reported. Shame on Highmark and the rest of these incompetent and greedy health insurance companies that compound the suffering of people who are just trying to get well.

This afternoon, in addition to Charlie Kirk, there was a school shooting. Bullets don't know and don't care if you are a Republican or Democrat. It is time for Republicans and Democrats to find a way to work together to reduce gun violence. www.wcpo.com/us-news/crim...

Donald Trump is diverting law enforcement from going after human traffickers, child predators, and terrorists. He's the most pro-predator president in history.

This guy is a GOP donor who last year gave money to Trump. So a fellow who supports an anti-press authoritarian who calls the media the "enemy of the people" and who sued CBS News is now going to be the ombudsman for CBS News. Good move, Paramount. More accommodation.

This undersells what insurance exchange policyholders will feel if Congress doesn't act. The 18 percent increase is on the raw cost of insurance. But many will also lose enhanced subsidies that expire at the end of December. Those people will feel an average increase of *more than 75%.*

If Biden had said even one-tenth of this, he’d have been impeached and removed as a dictator. What is wrong with our elites? They’re paralyzed by their fear of looking unsavvy or biased against MAGA. They’re going to keep pretending everything is normal until the bullet passes through their face

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

“well this is certainly a bold departure from political norms!” as they are marched to the gulag
