I know I keep teasing this (still plan a full post tomorrow), but if you're on an ACA plan & live in any of the following states you *may* be in luck:

WA, IL, VT, PA, AR, WV, AK, TX, CO, MO, WY, NM, MD, VA

tl; dr version: If you're on a Silver plan this year, take a close look at GOLD plans.
My ACA current plan is going from $385/mo to $821/mo.

Schumer led Senate Democrats in fighting Trump over healthcare, period.

If you think Senate leaders can control members of their caucus, you don’t know much about the Senate. And before you say “McConnell,” remember why we still have the ACA when Trump and McConnell wanted it gone.

📺 I was proud to stand alongside Local 881 to fight the Kroger–Albertsons corporate merger, which threatened to drive up food costs for millions of families and hurt workers.

I've spent my life standing up to bullies 💪 That's the energy we need in the U.S. Senate.

To all those serving, to all who have served: Your duty and sacrifice don't just represent the best of America. You make America possible as the land of the free and the home of the brave, aspiring always to be a light for democracy around the world. Thank you.

Service is the truest measure of patriotism. On Veterans Day, we honor all who have taken the oath and worn the uniform - and our nation recommits to keeping its promises to every veteran who served our country.

This Veterans Day, we honor those who put on the uniform to keep our country safe.

But our heroes deserve more than applause once a year—they deserve to be honored every day, not with layoffs or cuts jeopardizing their care.

We owe it to them to do right by those who served.

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult.

A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates.

When will party leadership learn this lesson?

Why is Trump going after America's air traffic controllers, today of all days?

It's one more way to distract from his decision to increase your health insurance premiums."

It was “NO” yesterday.
It’s “NO” today.
And it’ll be “NO” when it gets to the House.

I’m not voting for something that forces millions of Americans to choose between seeing a doctor and putting food on their table.

By this time next week, we will be The Rachel Maddow Show on MS NOW!

Everything else about us will be the same, and that includes watching.

However! If you DVR the show, you may want to double check the scheduler to make sure it didn't get confused.

Since 2020, I have been fighting for mail-in voting and the GOP has been fighting against it. A critical court case is now going before the U.S. Supreme Court. I can assure you that I will be there fighting hard to ensure every lawful ballot counts.

What just happened on the Senate floor was a disgrace.

In the same chamber where the nation watched Senator McCain show courage in saving the ACA, now we see a vote that will lead to millions losing healthcare. 1/2
