All we need are four House Republicans with the common sense to prioritize what’s best for their constituents and sign Democrats’ discharge petition for a clean, 3-year extension of the ACA tax credits.

Usually, when I need an appointment at the VA, I can get one within 2 weeks. Today, I called for an appointment and the next available is in May, 2026. Firing 35K people will do that. The Trump administration hates veterans.

Ex FTC chair Lina Khan to @ivehaditpodcast.bsky.social on Paramount & Netflix vying for Warners: “Both of these deals look illegal — what’s striking is in the Trump administration, everything is up for sale… maybe they’ll look the other way in terms of what he and his family get.”

PBS has started going through the huge new batch of Epstein photos, and, yeah. Blech. Click through at your own risk www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...
New photos from Epstein’s personal collection show Trump, Clinton and much more

This Giving Tuesday, independent local news matters more than ever. Without reporters sniffing around, asking hard questions or writing about a neighborhood's triumphs, our sense of community + trust in leaders fades fast.

Disabled people were one of the first groups targeted by the Nazis.

They coined the term “useless eaters”.

They tested the gas chambers on us.

They knew most people wouldn’t fight to save our lives.

That’s why the President using the R slur is so dangerous.

We’re not expendable
