Republicans have hit a new & disgusting low with Marjorie Taylor Greene's bill that would put parents & doctors in jail for providing gender affirming healthcare.

Trans kids deserve support, love, & care that affirms their needs, not cruel, despicable attacks on their existence.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

Remember that 80% of the ACA subsidies about to expire go to people in states that Trump won in 2024.

Time and time again, Trump and MAGA Republicans will sell out their own voters — all to fund massive tax cuts for the super rich. www.kff.org/quick-take/m...

I’m mad that I’m wasting my time watching this wannabe tyrant’s rant. This has basically been his stump speech since he won the election.

This is true. But don't begrudge people the opportunity to point out this was both nuts and frightening--and that Trump set an indoor world record for lying.

Washington Republicans should bring the three-year Affordable Care Act tax extensions to a vote immediately so American families can have peace of mind over the holidays knowing they can afford their health insurance in the new year.
Centrist Republicans revolt, signing a petition to force a vote on Obamacare funding
The enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies are still expected to expire at the end of this year, however, raising insurance premiums for millions of people.

Income isn’t supposed to play a role in how much housing assistance FEMA gives families.

But in some North Carolina counties, the highest-income homeowners received two to three times as much money after Hurricane Helene as those with lower incomes.

Arduous and Unequal: The Fight to Get FEMA Housing Assistance After Helene
An analysis by ProPublica and The Assembly of the more rural counties in North Carolina hardest hit by Helene shows that the households that got the most aid tended to have the highest incomes.
