With talk of absurd GOP proposals to replace Marketplace tax credits with HSA contributions & require people to buy health services directly, this is just like a Project 2025 proposal to eliminate #Medicaid coverage & convert funding to vouchers/HSA contributions: ccf.georgetown.edu/2024/06/17/p...

They’re going to help Trump pass a terrible plan to send people checks or fund HSAs. It’s going to be terrible policy with the bonus of giving Trump and republicans a “win.”
Shaheen on Fox & Friends: "I believe there are number of Republicans who are gonna join us in trying to address healthcare costs ... we are gonna be able to continue to right about healthcare because we're gonna have a vote in December."

A federal court ordered MS to create 3 new legislative districts that gave Black voters an opportunity to elect candidates of their choice. Black voters didn’t pass on that opportunity!

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

I think a lot of it comes out of elite Democrats' fundamental contempt for American voters - they don't believe voters can be trusted to recognize that authoritarianism and lawlessness is bad. They think voters are stomachs with mouths who can only be convinced by appealing to their self-interest
