Thanks for sharing your story, Rebecca. Protecting folks with pre-existing conditions – like your son – was important to us. And it’s why we have to continue working hard to protect and build on the foundation of the ACA, too.
Before ACA my son was denied coverage because of “preexisting conditions”. When ACA was established his medical conditions were all covered. I’m thankful every day insurance companies are no longer allowed to deny coverage. Thank you President Obama. (He was a baby when this all happened)

Trump's only move. Blackmail. He's doing it to everyone: law firms, companies, colleges, states, Canada, NATO, Ukraine. He was impeached in the first term for it. It's the only "art of the deal" he's ever known: strongman mafioso extortion. He'll re-run the same play forever until America collapses.
Trump says he will withhold federal tax dollars to Maine colleges unless the Gov of Maine personally apologizes to him.

This is the message for Democrats. Why isn’t everyone of them saying this ten times a day? Flood the zone.
The Trump admin playbook: gut civil service to crush public education, derail lifesaving research, pollute our air and water, and make it harder for veterans, working families, and small businesses to access the programs they rely on—all to pay for a tax break for billionaires.

We posted this lesson on term "terrorism" when Pres. Bush used the accusation to justify war.

We need it again in face of White House use of term to deny people their constitutional & human rights.

Along with our lesson on McCarthyism. #TeachOutsideTextbook

This lesson helps students examine the definition of terrorism and the use of the term terrorism in the media and U.S. foreign policy.

Rep. John Larson is absolutely right — Elon Musk and DOGE are NOT ABOVE THE LAW.

HANDS OFF OUR SOCIAL SECURITY!
A top Democratic congressman goes off during a DOGE hearing and calls out Elon for trying to cut Social Security.

More of this please.

"the plan to shrink IRS staff by up to 50% would — very conservatively — lead to a $400 billion increase in uncollected taxes over the next decade. It could easily mean more than $2 trillion in losses..."

Opinion | DOGE says it’s saving $100 billion. It’s about to lose a lot more.
Cuts to the IRS will backfire by giving tax evaders a free pass.

it really is something that almost a century later, oligarchs and economic royalists still see social security as an affront that must be destroyed
Fyi, my new piece in @bostonreview.bsky.social about the history of calling Social Security a “Ponzi scheme,” and how attacks on Social Security have often marked the opening wedge of a broader war on public goods.
