Im not really loving how they changed the name to the Department of War, and then told senior military leadership that the enemy is “within.”

So, as a bit of a diversion, I made an interactive that shows how different demographic groups voted in recent elections — and lets you test the accuracy of your estimates of how they did. It's more fun than it might sound! www.pbump.net/o/digging-de...

If you live in:

South Dakota
Louisiana
West Virginia
Wyoming
Tennessee
Mississippi
Alaska

Call your right wing Senator and ask them why they're pushing to increase their constituents healthcare prices so much.
If you live in these states, your ACA premiums are about to jump:

SD - Up 235%
LA - Up 150%
WV - Up 387%
WY - Up 382%
TN - Up 320%
MS - Up 314%
AK - Up 346%

Republicans are fighting to make sure this happens to their own constituents.

Dear @apnews.com

The republicans control congress. Democrats did not vote down anything. If the GOP wanted to fund the government, they could have changed the rules to pass a CR with a simple majority like they did 11 days ago to approve 48 trump appointees at once.

Fix your headline.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov There are roughly 260 Dem MOC. Why not divide them up and assign them to flood the message about Healthcare.

At this point we need separate channels devoted solely to covering aviation issues, mass shootings, Trump corruption,effects of the Big Ugly Bill, hate crimes and ICE raids.
