These 20 House Democrats just joined Republicans in voting to fully repeal DC's police reform laws.
Wiping off the books critical laws on use of force, transparency, and preventing violent cops from getting rehired.
They think that they should have more say over DC police than the people of DC.

Controversial take, I guess: You can be considerate of others when in PJs. People in PJs is not what makes flying miserable, for me. There's the insufficient leg room, uncomfortable seats, delays...
If you are miserable on a plane because other people are in sweat pants... that's a you problem.

Nurses will overwhelmingly get well paying jobs and pay these loans back. There aren’t drawbacks of these programs. It’s just racism and misogyny for the sake of it.

It seems crucial (and long overdue) that our national political discourse has finally shifted from an obsession with "the economy" to what actually matters: whether people can afford the basic things they need to live.

A reminder that what conservatives have wrought didn’t happen overnight - but neither did this. Real organizing takes time and effort, but it does work, so don’t give up. Keep organizing, keep resisting, keep going.
I cannot stress that the work that people have been doing for years in the southeast is paying off and needs to be celebrated.

A reminder that literally any billionaire could apparently step up and fund SNAP and many millions of Americans wouldn’t lose access to groceries tomorrow.
Imagine if you could do this and it would literally be nothing to you, would not affect the way you live your life AT ALL, and not doing it.

I’m sure there are no strings attached for this *snort* but to all the supposedly “progressive” billionaires out there: a public offer to cover SNAP and other essential services, since apparently you can now earmark donations for whatever you want, would be great.
So an anonymous billionaire Trump ally is dispersing $130 million in personal cash to US troops.

Hopkins - whose School of Public Health bears his name - lost $800 million in federal funding & laid off 2000 people doing life-saving work earlier this year. But super cool that he’s twice as rich. That def makes a meaningful difference in the lives of literally no one, including Bloomberg himself.

At this point, over three years since I received care, thousands and thousands of dollars of staff time and resources that have been devoted to this mess. And guess what - we all get to pay for it. We pay for insurance companies to play hot potato with these claims.

But it’s three years later, and I still don’t know the resolution of this mess. It’s annoying, frustrating, I DIDN’T DO ANYTHING WRONG, I’m a health services researcher and I can’t figure out how to resolve this mess.

But remember - I already paid the deductible and (expected) co-insurance because when these were first filed by the providers, I told them I had CareFirst and paid accordingly. And regardless of the BCBS FEP mess, I did have CareFirst - both my employer and I were paying those premiums.

So today’s letters mostly said they were still processing these claims - it’s late 2025. One, for $1470, they said they weren’t covering - again - this is care I never asked them to cover. It’s unclear to me if this goes back to CareFirst, who will now agree the original claims were accurate.

Then I got a bunch of letters last year - 2024 - saying BCBS FEP was still working on processing these claims. Claims I didn’t submit to them, but apparently got re-routed to them - it’s unclear by who - maybe CareFirst?
