Some news: tomorrow at 9am, Ted Koppel + CBS Sunday Morning will air a two-part story on the devastating surge of full-time workers being pushed into homelessness.

I'll be interviewed along with two families from There Is No Place for Us. It would mean a lot if you'd watch and help spread the word.

This is what premiums spike to for a man with cancer who is a taxi driver in AZ (met his son). This is Ambetter, operated by private health insurer Centene. It's why we need to extend the ACA credits & fight for Medicare for All.

all those analysis of the huge changes Ds had to make to win back working class voters, Hispanics, etc. was DEAD WRONG. they did not make wholesale changes and yet they won huge. Context, candidates, and intensity. That's it. throw away the pundit playbooks.

The Trump Shutdown is the longest in US history.

House Republicans aren’t even in DC — they’re hiding out at home for the 5th week in a row.

As the GOP does nothing, federal workers are missing paychecks, families are going hungry, air travel is becoming a nightmare, and our economy is sputtering.

Nearly 8 in 10 Americans agree that spending by wealthy donors and corporations in our elections gives rise to corruption — including majorities of Republican and independent voters.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

We must overturn Citizens United.

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

Hoping Bluesky is that ‘hell of a good universe next door’ in the social media cosmology.

a hopeless case if —- listen: there's a hell
