There’s your Republican talking point. At least 12 million Americans have to see their health insurance premiums skyrocket and the Republican response is the same as their response to every policy question - “illegal aliens!!!”

So, in states like Wyoming, we have to prove we're 18, with photo identification, to be on BlueSky.
Fun fun! I think I'm so over this bullshit.

Men are shifting right because Republicans are making their lives worse and telling them to blame women and immigrants.
Democrats should be pointing out this *extremely obvious* dynamic, not trying to peddle a lighter version of the same narrative.

Let's do it! 1 million Thank You cards to the White House before President Joe Biden leaves office. Because he did get a raw deal, and Dems are awful at tooting their own horn. Best President in my lifetime. I hope that'll change and we'll have at least a fighting chance for another like Joe.
I think we need to start a campaign of sending thank you cards to Joe for what he has done for us. If a million thank you cards shows up at the White House between now and the end of his term that is going to say something to the maga idiots. And it is going to mean a lot to Joe .
