Tell me you don’t understand risk pools without telling me you don’t understand risk pools

My statement on the proposed Senate deal

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Senate Dems, do not cave. Ensuring healthcare premiums don’t surge is an 80-20 issue. They want to gut the ACA because their disdain for Obama far outweighs their concern for anyone’s health.

BREAKING: California voters approve a new House map designed to help Democrats net 5 seats next year, NBC News projects, countering Republican redistricting in other states.

Yes on 50, Californians.

Millions of Americans are already learning that their health insurance costs for 2026 are going way up. I want to hear from you so we can make this impossible for the GOP to ignore the consequences of their policies. If your premiums are going up, reply below and please share your story.

No Democrat should vote to keep the government open unless ACA funding is restored for the millions of Americans at risk of losing health coverage next year. Remember that this funding is on the chopping block because Trump and Republicans want to give the richest Americans a giant tax cut.

The entire American economy is being held hostage to the whims of a guy who doesn’t understand how the economy works

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

If you like yelling about misuse of the passive voice, THIS IS IT.

⁨20 million Americans are on the brink of higher premiums, co-pays, and deductibles because of Republicans’ refusal to negotiate. This is what Democrats are fighting to prevent.⁩

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

Report: You To Be Fired For Reading This Headline About Charlie Kirk

Got fired from my job for saying that Samantha on Bewitched didn’t really wiggle her nose, she was just kind of twitching her mouth back and forth.

Just thinking about how the right made up an entirely fictional left wing character that resulted in so many bomb threats and the like and nobody will face consequences. But people on the left who accurately clocked the victim’s life work lost jobs.

Fed Governor Cook declared her Atlanta property as “vacation home,” documents show: “Cook’s declarations on loan, job-vetting forms appear to undercut fraud claims.” Via Reuters

When a right-wing man murdered Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota, progressives asked MAGA to tone down the rhetoric to prevent more violence. Within hours of Kirk’s murder, motive still unknown, the right is demanding that the government wage a campaign of violence against their enemies.

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.

John Malone's attacks on CNN underscore yet again that the MAGA audience cannot be won over by truth-telling news organizations, no matter how much they bend over backwards to please them. Here's what I wrote in @status.news: www.status.news/p/john-malon...

My dream podcast triumvirate: @crampell.bsky.social, @jvl.bsky.social, and @marcmaron.bsky.social

Full resignation letter from Demetre C. Daskalakis, a CDC leader, does not hold back. "The recent shooting at CDC is not why I am resigning. My grandfather, who I am named after, stood up to fascist forces in Greece and lost his life doing so. I am resigning to make him and his legacy proud."

Kamala Harris at her closing campaign rally: "Donald Trump intends to use the United States Military against American citizens who simply disagree with him."

Today I was notified that because Republicans, my health insurance is expected to increase by $285 every month starting in January.

Powell called out Trump for making stuff up to smear him "I'm not aware of that, Mr President. I haven't heard that from anybody at the Fed. You just added in a third building is what that is. No, it was built five years ago. We finished it five years ago. It's not new."

Absolutely surreal to watch White House reporters ask Leavitt questions about tariffs moments after she and Gabbard used this briefing to baselessly accuse Obama of crimes punishable by death. We’re a sick joke of a country.

RIP Ozzy

not to be the flyspeck nyt copy as if it's the most important thing guy, but seriously wtf is this?

it’s depressing to think about all of the people who will suffer and die from his policies but it’s just embarrassing to be governed by the trashiest, dumbest losers on earth

The name "Alligator Alcatraz" reminds us that America is currently run by adults who are like malicious, giggling children using magnifying glasses to burn ants.

@carlquintanilla.bsky.social can you bring this up at the next company all-hands?

Donald Trump is NOT our king — and on June 14th, it's up to us to prove it.

Breaking:   WASHINGTON (AP) - Health secretary removes every member of scientific committee that advises the CDC on how vaccines should be used.

Tell me again about why I should care about the age of the _previous_ President?!

They’re not behaving as if they’re in a four-year term. They’re behaving as if they’re in an everlasting dictatorship. Are we all clear on this?

@podsaveamerica.crooked.com makes me laugh (in a wtf kinda way): every episode they preach about democratic party messaging, with all the assumed expertise you could ever imagine. Then they spend nearly an entire episode giving their buddy Jake Tapper the floor to detract from all the real horrors.

I really hate the idea that backlash is a sign of doing something right. Sometimes going against the herd mentality is brave and good. Other times it's just being wrong and everyone is trying to tell you so. Online response is not a reliable metric either way

Yes, you did vote to deport moms.

If only today’s political journalism headlines had the truthful bite that this article about freakin’ cheese has! www.delish.com/kitchen-tool...

Just a heads-up: it’s not just Medicaid, and it’s not just Medicare: www.nbcnewyork.com/news/busines...

@carlquintanilla.bsky.social Please explain to Sara Eisen that the ECUs, console screen, and similar components that go into Tesla cars are not made in the US, and Apple devices are more akin to those components than a car. And Tesla is a tiny, shrinking business in comparison to Apple.

Futures are showing that, despite what the current Treasury Secretary says, people do care that the USA credit has been downgraded. And they care a lot.

If the 2024 Harris campaign made one mistake, it was assuming that the American people were up to the task of supporting their own democracy in the simplest and least effortful manner. They were not, and a government by the people is exactly what we have now, disastrous though it is.
