1) it would incentivize preventative care, so fewer people would have long-term or chronic health issues, and fewer people would need emergency services.

Trump threatened using the Insurrection Act against California and tried sending the National Guard into LA. He was sued and lost, troops had to leave. We must stand firm and continue to fight against his crazy attempts. He's weak.

The one thing authoritarian leaders usually have going for them is the general apathy of the majority when they make a move solely against a marginal group in society.
But when they occupy an entire city with clumsy, brutal force, that just forces everyone out of that apathy.

Near Lyndale and 24th Ave in Minneapolis tonight, feds have reportedly shot another person.
Preliminary info is shaky for now, hearing two people injured.
BORTAC just rolled up in an armored vehicle. A crowd is gathering outside the police tape—MPD presence as well.

If they want to be unequivocal about something they are perfectly capable of doing so. Anything short of that is irrelevant to me.

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America:
1. Break up corporate monopolies
2. Continue building union power
3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics
Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

There’s something unspeakably shameful The United States letting people go hungry.
Not because its government doesn’t fix it —
but because tomorrow a few private Americans could, and never notice the cost.
That’s the part that sits wrong.

I remember all the work that went into just getting the ACA over the finish line - exactly 60 votes in Senate, so they had to make lots of compromises. In 16 years since the Republicans have just complained without offering anything meaningful. Anything they come up with has not been viable.

In September, survivors of Jeffrey Epstein met on a rooftop in downtown Washington. Some were meeting each other for the first time. They had gathered to make posters for a rally at the Capitol, but something more meaningful unfolded.
