CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax

Turning Point USA announced they're doing their own concert for Super Bowl Halftime, using "fully Christian, American" performers. Now seems like a good time to remind them that Bad Bunny is both fully Christian and fully American.

Early voting is underway for Prop 50 in California.

I urge anyone in the state to vote yes.

This isn’t a race to the bottom. It’s a means of avoiding the bottom. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/what-blue-states-should-do-when-red

While the National Guard was called up during some of the Vietnam riots, the Insurrection Act was not invoked. During my lifetime, January 6th, 2021 is the only time I believe the Insurrection Act should have been used.

Schumer: That issue that MAGA Mike keeps talking about—illegal immigrants getting health care. It’s an effing lie. The law says that federal dollars cannot go to illegal immigrants under Medicare, Medicaid, or the ACA.

And I said that to him in the room. I said, You’re lying. He smirked.

You know what I found most interesting about this video?

How many times that one dude let go of his victim to make sure his mask didn't slip down.

I approve of the fact that we have made him worry more about being identified than he worries about successfully grabbing people.
This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Community action works.
