Everyone’s health insurance premiums could skyrocket and millions could lose their health care.

Congress must permanently extend the ACA’s tax credits. Nobody can afford this health care crisis, and time is running out.
These people have found their health care at the center of a shutdown showdown
Small business owners, self-employed people and early retirees are among the 24 million Americans who could lose the tax credit

Priztker: if federal agents fired upon journalists and protesters, when unprovoked, what would we call it? 

I don't think we'd have any trouble calling it what it is. Authoritarianism. 

So let's not pretend it's something else when it happens in our American cities.

We’re at peak greed when the president brags about 24k gold décor for the White House while cutting commissaries, healthcare, and social nets. A palace of glitter for him, an empty pantry and hospital bill for you.

For context, downtown Portland is quiet (to the point of being boring), kids are going back to school, food carts and coffee shops are busy, people are gardening and riding bikes. Yes, there's some homelessness, but I don't think these guys are coming to build housing.

The last time Trump sent Feds to Portland; I was an emergency dispatcher for the city/county.

It radicalized me; what I was seeing/hearing/dispatching didn’t match the narrative.

Proud Boys/Patriot Prayer were the REAL issue.

Abolish ICE.

Ukraine has unveiled a game-changing interceptor drone that shoots down Shaheds midair

In just 2 months, it has already taken out 20+ Shaheds and nearly 10 recon UAVs.
Flying at 200 km/h and operating up to 5 km high, it's rewriting the rules of drone warfare

This is Ukrainian innovation in action

My grandmother marched with MLK. My grandparents had bricks thrown through their windows, with death threats attached, for supporting him and his message. They taught me to always stand up for what is right, no matter the cost. If we stay silent, we contribute to injustice.
