Speaker Mike Johnson has reportedly told the White House that most Republicans aren't interested in extending ACA subsidies.

Reminder that 57% of ACA Marketplace enrollees live in congressional districts represented by a Republican.

They're selling out their own voters.

Hegseth could become the first secretary of war to have thousands of people march on the Pentagon with torches and pitchforks to burn him at the stake. And if Miller and Noem happen to get in the way, too bad. The more monsters burning, the better.

The oath is NOT to a man or a political party. It is to the Constitution and the Country.

If you're in or near the Philadelphia area, there's an ICE protest today.
Show them that Philly will not stand for abductions at the courthouse!

Immigration advocates say Philly courthouse has become a ‘hunting ground’ for ICE. They want agents barred from the building.
The courthouse has become a focus of enforcement and resistance as President Trump presses his tough deportation agenda.

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.

If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

Really looks like the United States is about to launch a regime change war against Venezuela with:

-No casus belli
-No authorization from Congress
-No allies or international support
-No plan for a post-Maduro Venezuela
-No preparation for any sort of stabilization or containment of the fallout

It's not in your head.

The algorithms are designed to make you angry.

A PNAS study proves hating each other drives engagement, and engagement drives profit.

TIL that when the Beatles first came to America there was still someone alive in the US who'd been born into slavery here

The fact that I'm only in my 40s and missed by only a decade or so being alive at the same time as a former American slave further brings home for me just how recent slavery was

🇺🇦 Zelensky: The crux of the entire diplomatic situation is that it was Russia, and only Russia, that started this war, and it is Russia, and only Russia, that has been refusing to end it throughout the full-scale invasion.
