1. For weeks, EITM has reported that Republicans would push a trans healthcare ban in their ACA negotiations.
Now, the plan is released, and it includes heavy restrictions on ACA plans, a medicaid ban, an EHB ban, and more.
Democrats must not capitulate.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

A little before and after. Tweeters repaired (on both speakers). I’m sure refoaming large woofers is way easier. I think I could do it better if I had to do it again. Also picked up some Pioneer CS-G204s. I think I have enough speakers.

Ava’s audio journey continues. Picked up a pair of Pioneer CS-88a speakers at an estate sale for $40. Foam repair kits for the tweeters are on the way. Other than that, they sound pretty good for 53 year old speakers.

Did it cost more that it would have new? Sure. But it’s had the belt replaced and it’s been serviced so I can enjoy it without worry.
