Everyone wanted to assure me that the government healthcare cuts wouldn’t impact employer health insurance, only those on medicaid.

Only for my new job to get rid of their great healthcare plan because their rates are doubling as a result of our governments actions. 🤡

Odd that the DoJ is opening an investigation into the Epstein files since they said in July that there was no client list and nothing to release.

It's ONLY been 65 years since six year old Ruby Bridges walked through the halls of William Frantz Elementary as the first Black child to attend an all white school. Met with mobs and hate, her bravery and courage helped change the course of history for this nation.

That the Colorado River negotiations have grown urgent is clear, as @ianjames.bsky.social reports: www.latimes.com/environment/...

But I always feel best way to think about this issue is the figure James reported on in 2024.

Great news!!
Leaders of the Colorado River Indian Tribes formally granted the Colorado River legal personhood status, making it the third river with such legal protections in North America. The Yurok Tribe granted personhood to the Klamath River in 2019. @debkrol.bsky.social www.azcentral.com/story/news/l...
Colorado River wins personhood status from Arizona tribal council
Personhood status creates a powerful new mechanism for protecting the eponymous river that makes life possible in their arid homelands.

The Shutdown stuff is taking center stage for the upcoming primaries, as it should be (Chuck Schumer is a complete sentence), but we must remind ourselves that there are active concentration camps operating on and off US soil.

“Abolish ICE” should be the moderate position. Vote accordingly.
Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari of Arizona’s 3rd District describes the “horrific conditions” she witnessed inside the Eloy ICE Detention Center near Phoenix — including a leukemia patient “vomiting blood,” detained in February and forced to wait eight months before finally seeing an oncologist...

Building a record is good. Bovino et al need to go to jail. Also, ISP needs to be constrained.

Divvying up the dwindling Colorado River in a warming climate. Much of the river's watershed remains in severe drought, and its water is over-allocated. #copolitics

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.

Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.
so currently defectors are:

Kaine (2030)
Shaheen (Retiring)
Hasan (2028)
Fetterman (2028)
Durbin (Retiring)
CCM (2028)
Rosen (2030)
King (2030)

It doesn't actually matter if Chuck Schumer votes for this or not.

If he can't keep his caucus unified to protect healthcare for over 10 million Americans, he should resign as leader.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.

We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.

A vote for this bill is a mistake.
