Thousands of you shared heartbreaking and maddening stories with me about rising health care costs. But the fight is far from over.
If you're willing to record your story, we can make sure GOP lawmakers see and hear the direct impact of their policy failures: wintheera.myctbl.com/share-your-s...

I love Rebecca DOWN. Known as Dollar Tree Dinners.
Her “Meal in a Bag” is meant to provide ppl with a complete meal that is $8 or less, is shelf stable, & can be made without access to a full kitchen. I love this as a direct aid option. Good for neighbors & elders who can’t/wont go to a pantry.

We need more of this, and from more people. Rolling your eyes as if to say "We all know how they are" (or worse, "Don't get distracted") has been a big strategic mistake. Democratic politicians have to meet the brutality of MAGA rhetoric with outrage--and then, when necessary, match it.
Jeffries: "You've got Leavitt, who's sick, she's out of control. I'm not sure if she's just demented, ignorant, a stone cold liar, or all of the above. But the notion that an official WH spokesperson would say that the D Party consists of 'terrorists, violent criminals & undocumented immigrants'..."

Some perspective: The ACA part of the shutdown fight is a little less than 0.1% of GDP.
Or ~0.5% of the federal budget.
It's in same ballpark as cost of Trump's estate tax cut.
It's much less than Elon Musk's potential $1 trillion compensation package.

This explains a lot. For a moment, I wondered why they'd do something as ridiculous as drop agents on the roof of the apartment building from helicopters, but of course, they did it for this footage. The same reason they were marching in formation downtown and snatched a family in Millennium Park.

Everyone should listen to Chris Murphy's extraordinary warning about Trump on our pod. First, he says the logic must be that the more lawless he gets, the stiffer the resistance.

Trump's CEA is circulating its estimate of the economic cost of the government shutdown.
But, BREAKING: It's wrong. It makes a simple arithmetic error. And it's dishonest.

"First announced on June 23, 2025, Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins is eliminating protections for nearly 40 million acres of national forests conserved as “roadless areas,” opening some of the most ecologically intact forests in the country to industrial development."
Collectively, the Trump administration has already initiated actions that could eliminate or weaken protections from more than 175 million acres of U.S. public lands—larger than the states of California, Florida, and Georgia combined.
