Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act.
With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

Hitler ended democracy in Germany in 53 days.
Today is the 53rd day of the Trump presidency, and the White House has announced that it does not believe a federal district court judge can issue an injunction against the White House.
It can. The Constitution says so. This is a constitutional crisis.

It’s horrifying that it’s come to this, but as someone with a deep affinity for Europe I feel moved seeing that continent come together to try to save itself in the absence of any meaningful aid from the totalitarian regime that’s in the midst of taking over the United States through an illegal coup

"I’m old enough to remember what happened the last time the GOP tried cutting healthcare to offset tax cuts for the rich. In 2018, they attacked the ACA. That November, they lost the House by the biggest margin in modern US history. That’s the sleeping giant they’ve awoken by attacking Medicaid."
Republicans play dumb on Medicaid cuts
The GOP is engaged in bad-community-theater levels of disingenuousness.

It boggles the mind that economist were not expecting inflation to rise. The only econ class I ever took was watching Ferris Bueller's Day Off in 8th grade health class and I saw this coming.
"Unexpectedly" is actually not an accurate descriptor of polices historically know to .... raise inflation
