Right now, Republicans in Congress are trying to push through a bill that would put millions of Americans at risk of losing their health care.
They want to cut federal funding for Medicaid, take away tax credits that help more people afford coverage, and raise costs for working class families.

I wish journalists would stop framing political news as wins or losses for politicians or political parties. It’s an abrogation of our mission. Why do we keep doing this? Is the spending bill a win or loss for the American people? Who does it help? Who does it hurt? Is it sound policy? Fiscally?

America has never been more divided in my lifetime.
I’m for the side that believes in the rule of law, science, reproductive rights, free & fair elections, secure war plans, not tanking the economy or illegally deporting American citizens.
I can’t believe there’s a side that doesn’t.

In case you’ve forgotten how we used to treat this sort of thing…
There would be bipartisan calls for investigations
Impeachment would be a foregone conclusion
Several people would’ve resigned or been fired by end of day
Back when responsible adults were in charge, not this insane clown posse

Somebody yelled at me for posting about Ganymede instead of /the state of things/ last night.
I know we’re (almost) all on the same page here, but a Bluesky without cute cats, science facts, and dumb jokes would be bad for everyone.

As a medical professional, the things I could tell you about how foul it is dealing with #insurance would blow your damn mind.

The facts are, the ACA saved millions with pre-existing conditions and set standards for care.
But now, more than a decade later, with what we now know, it’s time to take the insurance companies out of the mix.
The subsidies they get are enormous. We don’t need them as middlemen.

Since we’re all talking about Greenland and Canada now would be a good time to remind people that Puerto Rico and Washington, DC actually should be added as the 51st and 52nd states.

Watching a person with temp plates on their new EV plug into the only DC charger in the town you’re visiting right as you pull into the parking lot and praying they know to only charge to 80%… 🤞

As an all-EV family, I really hope they succeed.
The Biden administration is expected to grant California and 11 other states permission to ban the sale of new gasoline-powered cars after 2035, one of the most ambitious climate policies in the U.S. and beyond. President-elect Donald Trump is expected to try to stop them. nyti.ms/3Zv4xOK
