Without a bipartisan budget agreement, health care premiums will double on January 1, 2026, for 90% of the people covered by the Affordable Care Act. On the same day, the GOP’s reconciliation bill will make tax breaks for the super-wealthy permanent.

In America, speaking freely is a bedrock right that matters deeply to us all. So when pundits and politicians vilify dissenters, I have to ask "Why?" This isn't patriotism -- its control. You don’t defend democracy by silencing it. Speak up! #TruthBrigade truthbrigade.indivisible.org/s/IajADcM9

This FCC does not have the authority, the ability, or the constitutional right to police content or punish broadcasters for speech the government dislikes.

Free speech is the foundation of our democracy, and we must push back against any attempt to erode it.

Elon Musk is the face of DOGE, but Russell Vought is the brains. He’s been planning such a crusade since well before Project 2025.

I was sent this by a Georgian this morning. 2025 premiums vs 2026 premiums for someone making $65k a year.

Republicans in Washington did this.

This is what I'm fighting to stop. This is what’s at stake in this shutdown fight.

This government shutdown is on Republicans for refusing to negotiate. Democrats must continue to hold the line to protect our healthcare.

I want control over my family’s health -- but everywhere I look, I see suspicious “research” trying to scare me or sell me something. Enough! I don’t trust anyone who claims miracles. Give me scholarship and verified healthcare—not hype. #TruthBrigade

Just because you get a deal, doesn’t mean it is a good deal for America. Right now, a Japanese car is subject to a lower tariff than a car made in Canada, with American parts and some American labor.

Donald Trump’s tariffs are raising prices.

The extremists promised to lower costs.

Instead.

Republican policies are making your life more expensive.

While we're all waiting for the Epstein files to be released, here's the five volume bipartisan set of the Russian interference and collusion reports.

We should probably call them the Marco Rubio files.

Iran is bad actor, no question. During my time in Iraq I saw that firsthand. But the real problem moving forward isn’t what a successful strike looks like, it’s what happens next. The real problem is getting into another forever war.

A big win! A panel of judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit just blocked the Trump administration’s push to move forward with massive layoffs. The court denied the government’s request to overturn a lower court ruling, meaning the layoffs can’t happen, for now.

The corporate media is so easily manipulated. The Medicaid cuts are less "drastic" cause ONLY 14 m lose insurance. Tariffs were slashed because they are only 30 percent. Were they always this easily manipulated? is the stenography laziness or fear?
