Someone needs to ask him how much blood draws cost. CT scans. Chemotherapy. Major surgery. Someone who doesn’t understand any of that, even vaguely, should not be setting health policy
Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"

SEATTLE!!!

We’ve now taken the lead by 91 votes! 🤯 This thing is certainly not over! Over 1,000 ballots have been challenged, so if you haven’t tracked your ballot yet get on it! Our trusty volunteers have been working hard to "cure" ballots so they count! We're so close!

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult.

A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates.

When will party leadership learn this lesson?

We need to mad and disgruntled with white people the same way we are mad and disgruntled with non-white people. We need to forefront white crime as a real problem the same way non-white crime is. In other words, fair and equal. Not enough fair and equal.

Since 2020, I have been fighting for mail-in voting and the GOP has been fighting against it. A critical court case is now going before the U.S. Supreme Court. I can assure you that I will be there fighting hard to ensure every lawful ballot counts.

The American people, in my district and across the country, want us to hold the line to protect health care.

Premium notices have gone out, and open enrollment has started. We cannot cave for some future vote down the road. We need to stand up and hold the line NOW.

Throughout this entire Republican shutdown, Trump has taken every opportunity to disrespect and threaten hardworking federal workers — many of whom are showing up without pay.

The truly patriotic thing to do would be to save health care and protect workers.

@tressiemcphd.bsky.social has repeatedly observed that the MAGA feminine aesthetic, instead of aiming for a coherent beauty heuristic, is meant *only* to signal female willingness to self-subjugate to a male desire.

The outcome needn’t be “attractive”, it need only say “I’m willing to do this”.

Plastic surgeons in DC are being asked by Trump insiders to get plastic surgery that's obvious and in keeping with "Mar-a-Lago face."
