Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act.

With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

Following Trump’s disastrous meeting with Zelenskyy, the whole world can see just how deeply Trump is embedded inside Putin’s ass.

Trump is widely viewed as weak, ineffectual, incompetent, easily manipulated, and — worst of all — unreliable.

I only rooted for the Philadelphia Eagles to win the Super Bowl because they were the underdog.

Now that they're declining the WH trip that comes with winning, I might root for them more...

DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FDA, which oversees Neuralink

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX

-USAID, which probed Starlink

-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

FAA says a military helicopter collided with the American Airlines passenger jet from Wichita near DCA.

There must be immediate hearings on how the federal government/Department of Defense allowed this to happen and if removal of safety protocols and recent personnel changes led to this incident.

Let's be clear about what happened today: Donald Trump tried to cut a giant chunk of government funding — hurting preschoolers, seniors, and veterans.

Trump's illegal shutdown is blocked for now — but don't forget that he tried to cut programs supporting working families.

Good morning and Happy Thursday to everyone who is determined to turn up the volume and EXPOSE all of the brutal, deadly consequences of abortion bans in America.

They're not "pro-life."
They're pro controlling women's bodies.

Oh-so-devout Mike Johnson tried to block the ethics committee report from being released.
Why?
Because he didn’t want the American people to know that Matt Gaetz was doing drugs while WORKING and paying high schoolers for sex.

“Christian” Mike Johnson didn’t want anyone to know.

Recently took a peek at Twitter and the disinformation is getting substantially more dangerous. Someone could get killed.

The tactics of constantly repeating outright lies, targeting specific people, repurposing years-old footage and presenting them as new is getting to another level. It’s scary.

I wrote about how Congress has turned into a senior center.

How many AOCs are never elected because 80-year-olds refuse to step down?

How many young lawmakers don’t acquire leadership roles — and miss out on years of experience — because seniority is prized above anything else?
Congress Has Become a Waiting Room for Heaven
Who says our senior leaders have to be senior citizens?

Hate that I voted for this failure! Hopefully we can replace him next cycle.
Democrats moved heaven and earth to get Fetterman elected.

They stood by him through everything, from his health issues to his crusade against adult clothing.

What a colossal disappointment he turned out to be.
