I am proud that my legal team and I are leading the fight in this case against the Republican Party’s effort to throw out lawful ballots. Everyone needs to recognize this as the next step in the GOP plan to ban mail-in voting entirely and to eventually target early voting as well.
🚨BREAKING: In a case with major implications for voting access, the U.S. Supreme Court will soon decide whether a mail-in ballot must be received by Election Day to count, or if it merely must be sent by then. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Asked point-blank if he’ll bring ACA extensions to the floor, Speaker Johnson bolted. We know the answer already. He won’t.
Further proof that Republicans don’t care about bringing your health care costs down.

Trump’s pardon attorney Ed Martin claims Trump is pardoning his Georgia co-defendants and other “alternate electors.”
Note: Trump’s Georgia co-defendants are charged under state law. The president can’t pardon people for state crimes.

Just a reminder.
Q: Will you assure House Democrats they'll get a vote on ACA subsidies by a date certain?
MIKE JOHNSON: Ah -- no. I'm not promising anyone anything.

I’m leaving this post up for transparency’s sake, but I just got some clarification on the federal RIF reinstatement/moratorium.
It only stops them from re-firing people until January of 2026 - I thought it was also a year.
So yeah, there’s not much of a win here. Apologies for the misread.

Honestly, this is likely as good of a deal as the Democrats are going to get.
Reinstates fired federal workers. Prevents admin from re-firing them. SNAP funding for a year, and an ACA vote in December.
Voters are already blaming the GOP for the ACA - make them vote against it.

This is how fascist brains think.
They break something. Then people work around that incompetence, but the power and authority to them are preeminent. So the fascists go about trying to make it impossible for people to find work arounds.
Because I told you so! Is their answer.

So the administration is now telling Blue states that they can’t use their own initiative to pay out full SNAP benefits. There’s really no links they won’t go to, while Argentina’s strongman dances at CPAC to celebrate the taxpayer dollars Trump gave him.
