I've been reposting everyone replying to this post with their own ACA (and sometimes employer!) price hikes. Feel free to add yours. There is some comfort in knowing you aren't alone and knowing we'll all be voting on this issue in a year.

Chuck Schumer should be chucked out. #chuckchuck
My ACA current plan is going from $385/mo to $821/mo.

Met a short, hunky daddy at my favorite watering hole. He stands 5'5'', maybe 5'6" but has some nice broad shoulders. He's from Texas, and I think would like to see me before he goes back.

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position
He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Chuck Schumer is out here trying to take credit for the Democrats' victories last night and it's hella sleazy.

No wonder the guy's approval ratings are in the toilet.

What exactly did he do?
New statement from Chuck Schumer: "Tonight’s results are a repudiation of the Trump agenda. The cruelty, chaos, and greed that define MAGA radicalism and are skyrocketing costs were firmly rejected by the American people." Calls it "a good night for Democrats and our fight to lower costs."

A ‘Mamdani Monitor’?? Zohran RESPONDS to the ADL’s Jonathan Greenblatt for vowing to “track” his admin for antisemitism.

“I have some doubts in Jonathan's ability to do so honestly, given that he previously said I had not visited any synagogues only to have to correct himself.”

At least guys like Chuck Schumer & Hakeem Jeffries have removed any & all doubt about their feelings on the will of Democratic voters & the role of primaries. They want us to know that every incumbent can be challenged & if a center-right Dem wins, you don’t have to vote for them

Harris lost her election last year because she was speaking.
Mamdani won his this year because he was listening.

I said what I said.

Zohran Mamdani has vowed to arrest war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu if he sets foot in NYC. And remember that the UN is in NYC. Next year's UN General Assembly should be interesting.
