I’m no great fan of the ACA.
I believe we should guarantee health care as a human right through a single-payer Medicare for All system.
But — at minimum — we cannot allow Republicans to destroy our already-broken system by doubling insurance premiums for 20 million Americans.

Idiocy. The federal government won’t do its job, and now it’s forbidding states from caring for their own citizens when the federal government refuses to do so.
USDA orders states to stop paying full SNAP benefits and "immediately undo" steps taken to issue them for November. Follow live updates.

About to publish something on the airplane mess. But this too is ON THE REPUBS. It is not a reason to cave. Dems, it is a time to keep standing up.

Opening the government with no concessions from GOP merely to alleviate airline cancellations - when Congress has been dragging its feet for years on chronic FAA staffing issues - is a lame ass choice.
Also, doing it while the House refuses to work is appalling.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Wildfires in Colorado have cost taxpayers over $40 million this year alone.
This is yet another reminder that Coloradans save $6 for every $1 spent on wildfire prevention. It is critical that we prioritize investments in wildfire prevention — to save taxpayer dollars and to save lives.

We have hit pay dirt, so please stop talking about what we will forever call "the Jeffrey EPSTEIN Hoax"
Sadly, his PAST supporters have bought into this "bullshit" hook, line and sinker.
We should just be grateful he doesn't want their support anymore & stick together like glue.
