An ignored fact that should win the battle for healthcare: w/o ACA, insurers could deny coverage due to pre-existing conditions (pec).

SPOILER ALERT: COVID infection will be a PEC. Data shows each bout increases risks of a variety of chronic and acute diseases

1st—Trump deliberately lied abt it

Congratulations America:
Repubs destroyed healthcare coverage—and 75% of you have had COVID that will be deemed a pre-existing condition.

Good luck!

@governor.ca.gov @governorferguson.bsky.social @govpritzker.illinois.gov et al.

Get together and set up an economic reporting function like BLS. Each pays pro rata.

Same w food inspection.

🚨🚨HELLO🚨🚨

These lying ignoramuses are being allowed to take us into war w/o strident demands for Congressional hearing and authorization??

This is a fckng 5 🚨 Fire.
Yes, I know Epstein, and ACA, and SNAP and all the other fckng shit.
How can this go unscrutinized? Unauthorized?
Swell. Trump is planning to attack Venezuela.

Wednesday Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Dan Caine, and other senior military officials presented Trump with updated options for potential operations in Venezuela, including strikes on land.

A Major Constitutional Discovery Can Accelerate the Epstein Disclosure:

Are you sitting down? Prepare to have your mind blown:

We don’t need the discharge petition if Repub agree to a vote!

We don’t need a law, if one house just subpoenas the information.

When Econ policy turns to gimmicks, you know the ppl running the policy have no confidence in it.

Laying down markers:

The inflation rate in US in Dec ‘24= 2.9%
For all of ‘24 the core rate was 3.2%

That was with a GROWING ECONOMY.

For 2025, it’s 3%. And the economy is SHRINKING.

Why Argue Abt ACA Subsidies?

Repubs claim “illegals” get it. Dems say they don’t.

Ok. Why not write the law stating that they cannot? Doesn’t matter if it’s redundant.

So what’s the problem now?

Yeah, this is September but close enough

HOUSE DEMS:

If you really want to piss them off, instead of saying they were “on vacation”, say they were “receiving the largest welfare payments in history, and w no work requirement”.

Repeat ad infinitum.

STOP THE SPIN:

According to Wolfe, Epstein said “I am a pervert, but I am not stupid”

We heard Trump on Howard Stern almost brag he is a sexual predator and Ivanka, laughing”
Oh, it's gonna happen.

BREAKING: Ghislaine Maxwell pleads w Trump NOT to pardon her: “life is great right now: food, recreation, books, guards to protect me and in here, Kristi Noem can’t get a shot at my puppy”, said Maxwell. “My thanks to the ‘Blanches’, Todd and Carte, and Elizabeth Holmes keep me healthy”.

Earlier this year, I made a charitable contribution.
They just sent me their year-end report, in which I was listed as an “Influencer”
I instantly felt 20yrs younger.

One of my words for the Schumer 8 was “fools”
That they caved and Trump wasn’t going to abide by the Agt anyhow.

Proof by induction.

WH aides planning to send Trump to talk abt affordability,,,,means they need to make him get his sychophants at the rallies to cheer his lies.

Ivanka letter quoting Jefferson(!) abt the tough questions he was facing—sounds like “Ivanka can cheer him up”.

The Chips & Science Act, authored by my Senator, Maria Cantwell (WA), and passed during Biden admin BOTH provided funding incentives to build new chips mfg in the US and science funding to push the frontiers AND train

Trump opposed it. As did most Repubs

It was working beautifully
Then came Trump
He attacks science and higher ed, driving top talent to flee, then complains we don't have talent and must bring in immigrants with h1b visas that he's charging $100,000 a pop for.

He's ok with immigration so long as he can exploit and profit from it.

URGENT QUESTION: Is Karoline even old enough to have these matters discussed in her presence? My mum would be horrified!

Is @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social a leader?
I say NO. Prove me wrong. I beg you.
Here’s the test:
TX-18 is a special election. Incumbent died. Primary left 2 candidates: BOTH DEMS!!

A LEADER focuses on an outcome. Not talking. Not BSing. Not farting around.

Outcome: another seat. ASAP.

Note it’s TX

This isn’t moralizing or scolding.Just observing:
if you say/feel you would do anything to end Trump reign-of-terror, but are not doing everything for Aftyn Behn to FLIP TN-07 on Dec2, then you are NOT so committed to ending Trump
@aftynbehn.bsky.social
FLIP is a political earthquake!
Let’s do it!!

Following a fairly disastrous oral argument at SCOTUS on Tariffs, Trump is repetitively posting all manner of nonsense abt risks of invalidating etc.

Judge: should someone post a response, just to counter the barrage designed to temper the court’s hand in deciding the case

The problem w this strategy is he’s hated just abt everywhere, any place he will go will trigger demonstrations.
Starving ppl don’t cheer
The president will discuss the economy, but he will also provide important updates about Hannibal Lecter's dinner plans and Arnold Palmer's substantial penis. Additionally, his team of military physicians will reveal the record-setting results of his latest cognitive testing.

Adelita Grijalva’s egregious partisan racist exclusion is now settled.
There’s another: TX-18.
A Congressman died March 25. TX Gov ABBOTT scheduled a primary 7 months later. 7 months! (Dems response: Silence, of course)
The primary concluded with 2 Dems advancing to a run off.
When?
No word

Wondering why an agreed unanimous consent action by the House and Senate could not, within a few minutes, at least clean up the outrageous grift.
