I keep seeing people claiming Senate Dems were “lied to” because they were promised a vote on extending the enhanced ACA tax credits and now House Republicans are refusing to hold that vote.

The SENATE was promised a vote. And they held it . Nearly 2 weeks ago. It failed. As expected.

I will be cutting off my regular donations to ProPublica. I will not have my money used to steal from me and other artists and writers, no matter how good of work they do otherwise. I encourage anyone else concerned about generative AI to register concerns with them as well.

It’s simply not possible to overstate how important NCAR is to US and world science. We need to fight this with everything we’ve got.
Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.

this laughably bad article has zero balance or dissenting voices in an *obviously* contentious issue. it also has explicit permission from ice for their guys to talk on the record, which sort of gives away the game eu.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

A father, daughter and twin sons are all ICE agents. They see themselves as crime fighters. Others see them as something far worse.

In most states midnight tonight is the deadline to enroll for coverage *starting in January,* but you'll still have time to enroll (or switch plans) for coverage starting in *February.*

in IDAHO, that isn't the case--midnight tonight is the ONLY deadline. If you miss it, you're SOL for all of 2026.

Victor is right. Promotion of the word "wokeness" allows right-wingers to pretend their racism and sexism is issues-oriented rather than hate-oriented.
Conservatives rebranded bigotry and every time the media uses “wokeness” as a euphemism they are helping a movement that it quite literally erasing the history marginalized people’s role in American life.

Welp. Both Senate bills failed, exactly as expected (both failed 51-48; they needed 60).

If you're a current ACA enrollee who was holding out on actively renewing, STOP WAITING. YOU ONLY HAVE UNTIL *MONDAY* TO ENROLL FOR COVERAGE STARTING IN JANUARY IN MOST STATES.
