I’m a disabled person and have to find housing imminently without any income or savings and now I have no SNAP. If you’re fortunate enough to have some spare dollars I would appreciate it so much if you could send me a donation just to keep my head afloat. My links are in bio. ❤️

Rick Scott was CEO of a large, for-profit healthcare company called HCA. While Rick Scott was CEO, HCA stole so much money from Medicare they were fined $1.7 Billion.
Rick Scott told me his plan would be to take all of the remaining ACA subsidies and redistribute them to HSA accounts and people can then buy whatever insurance a state certifies. Basically a repeal/replace.
He denied when I asked wouldn’t that create two-tiered system where sick pay much more…

The problem from their point of view is that rapid decarbonization requires public, collective decisions about the organization of production, in a way that threaten capital-owners' authority over both the production process and the political system.

How does your pathetic "plan" keep me alive through 2026? How does it pay the premium increase I face? How fucking dare you come on here with this bullshit.
1. We need to fight hard for a good ACA extension early in December and hold Republicans fiercely accountable if they betray everyone.

Abolish it
They’re going to tell you this is the comity and trust that makes the Senate special, and they very much expect you to take that as a positive.
Whoa -- Sen. Durbin went to up Leader Thune during the vote last night to tell him that on the shutdown vote and ACA promise that "8 of us are sticking our neck out that you're going to keep your word. I hope you will. He said 'I assure you I will,'" Durbin says just now

The light in my 5-year-old refrigerator has started strobing. "No problem," I thought, "I'll replace the bulb."
Nope! Instead of a $3 bulb, Whirlpool wants me to pay hundreds of dollars for a repair visit. Non-replaceable LEDs are the worst. A proper country would have regulations about this.

Katie Wilson, who is good, is currently 4,500 votes behind Bruce Harrell, who is evil.
There are 45,000 ballots outstanding. 10% of those ballots could change the fate of Seattle.
Check your ballot.

Closed primaries and similar nomination processes are another way that the duopoly coercively maintains its chokehold on us.
Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.
Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.
One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.
