The moment when 30 million American's received healthcare (2010) The moment when insurance companies had to start covering preexisting conditions, young adults could stay on their family's policy and I could trust that the small print couldn't screw me if I needed serious medical assistance. 🇺🇸

Billie Eilish asked an important question: "If you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire?"
There are FIVE ways to accumulate a billion dollars:
1) Profiting from a monopoly
2) Insider-trading
3) Political payoffs
4) Fraud
5) Inheritance

Too Late, Larry. You’re only sorry that you were finally found out.

It will not go to the 5th Circuit. By law it goes straight to SCOTUS. Ron DeSantis is a moron.

A reminder: The Attorney General of the United States should be the people's lawyer, not the president's personal attorney. The Department of Justice should act to protect the public, not just the occupant of the Oval Office and his political allies.

From street marches to court battles to the ballot box - we’ve challenged the power of this exceptionally unpopular president.
The lesson from each success we've had is that we need to ramp the political pressure up, always up, not back down, now more than ever.

So at the beginning of Nov Congress would have been paid, unless they specifically had their pay check held.
I would argue they should donate it because they haven’t worked.
Maybe a good question for reporters to catalog?

Republicans have been adamantly telling everyone that Democrats are causing the shut down because we want to give health care benefits to "illegal aliens".
So why don't we tell Republicans, that yes, we will oh, so reluctantly cave on that point, they win, and everything can reopen?

“The ousting comes amid a critical dispute within academia about how to rebuild confidence in higher education in a politically polarized moment.”
This is such a tortured story frame it is functionally a lie. Greg Abbott is not trying to rebuild confidence, he is proudly conducting a purge.
