Next year, Americans will see the biggest jump in health insurance costs in 15 years. Meanwhile, the seven largest health insurance companies made a combined $71B in profits in 2024. It’s far past time for Medicare for All. Here’s what you need to know.

if dems win congress next year they need to introduce an impeachment resolution against emil bove

"Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob." —FDR, 1936

My teenagers can’t get a ticket to the Running Man remake on their own, but sure, they’re consenting adults when it comes to sex. There’s not enough pepper spray in the world for these creeps

“Parents who, after consulting with a doctor and a psychologist, allow their 15-year-old child to transition commit child abuse. The child is too young to consent!” --Megyn R. Kelly “Grown men who have sex with your 15-year-old? Big whoop! It’s not like she’s 8. LOL!” --Also Megyn R. Kelly

I’d be happy with EVs that create an electromagnetic force-field surrounding the car when the cars detect an impending crash, allowing the force of impact to be softened or completely prevented.

Oil & gas exploration will stop as soon as it becomes more profitable to leave fossil fuels in the ground. That day is coming sooner than most people realize.

If Donald Trump has nothing to hide, why is he reportedly calling Republican members of Congress and asking them not to vote to release the Epstein files?

Love the decoder ring for my front yard

Reporter: Dr Oz said that— Jeffries: Who? Nobody who is serious in this country takes Dr. Oz seriously… I’m not going to respond to any comments from randos like Dr. Oz who is woefully unqualified.

Speaker Johnson has literally said he's "not promising anyone anything." For once, I believe him.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength. Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans. The American people need more from their leaders.

Never forget who sold us out: Hassan King Cortez-Masto Shaheen Kaine Fetterman Durbin Rosen

They’re wearing masks so they can’t be prosecuted later. As long as they think they can’t be prosecuted, their crimes will intensify. They will torture, starve and kill, as they have already, on greater and greater scale. Signed, someone who’s covered the unaccountable War on Terror for 23 years.

So at the beginning of Nov Congress would have been paid, unless they specifically had their pay check held. I would argue they should donate it because they haven’t worked. Maybe a good question for reporters to catalog?

oh so these people do pay attention to who politicians follow on social media, they just don’t care that the vice president follows a bunch of actual neo-nazis

Across Eastern Europe, they have what are known as "lustration" laws that do exactly this for people who were in the Stasi and its various equivalents. It's a model we should be examining.

I need you all to know that my mother sent me this. 🤣 That is all.

#EV drivers say charging at home is like having a gas pump in your driveway... except having a petrol pump at home would be like living in a toxic waste site. I love that @zaptec.bsky.social fully visualized what that would be like 🤣: youtu.be/6ehjX7HD1IY via @zamafir.bsky.social

So the Epstein vote isn't the only reason Mike Johnson should fear Rep. Yassamin Ansari. More of this, please.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106. 12 days of work in 106 days. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Way more.

oh my god they actually did it lmao

Today would be a good day to fund the ACA and end the GOP shutdown.

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

Zohran Mamdani ran on freezing the rent in NYC. Abigail Spanberger ran on supporting fired federal workers and lowering the cost of living in VA. Mikie Sherrill ran on lowering utility bills in NJ. Ensuring people can afford to live a decent life is the path forward.

Gorsuch finally starting to understand what they have unleashed

Oh, the HughManatee!

Welp — @davidhogg.bsky.social to Scott Jennings: "People are tired of being lectured by men with Rolexes on CNN about affordability in this country. That’s why Zohran is resonating."

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions "Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

I’m working to boost solar production about 35-40%. Looking for partners to test different approaches with in pilot. DMs are open if you want to know more

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

Instead of expecting everyone to stop using AI(which is a fool’s errand), how about we: - make the data center 80% more energy efficient (eliminating the need for water cooling) - use AWG to generate more drinkable water than it uses - power it with 100% renewable energy This is what I’m working on

Sneaky bastids DOJ Caught Deleting Court Record for Pardoned Jan. 6 Rioter Who Targeted Obama’s Home with a Gun dailyboulder.com/doj-caught-d...

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.

The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.

Vladeck: Even if you accept the predicate that these drug cartels are foreign terrorist organizations, that still doesn’t get you anywhere close to legal authority to use military force. They’re trying to blur and sort of collapse the distinction between two regimes we have…
