Today marks the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act being signed into law. Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, pre-existing conditions are covered and 24 million more Americans have access to healthcare.

People like this fiery veteran are why MAGA Republicans have stopped having town halls.
Last night, he continued to shred Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-NC) as police officers were dragging him out.
The MAGAs are not so fond of free speech now.
Never stop speaking up, America; this is our right!

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.
Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.
Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Ignoring backlash, Trump leans into false claim about Zelenskyy being a ‘dictator’

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night.
800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream.
There is a movement to be harnessed here.

DEI isn’t saying to white people you won’t get the job at the Air Force because you are white. It’s saying to black kids who grew up in a tough environment, if you don’t think you can fly a jet for the Air Force , guess what you can!

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns.
100% of his salary is paid by WA state.
Elon fired him. Share his story.

Actually, you can have a decentralized approach that works. A lot of people started organically, spontaneously boycotting Target after their anti DEI announcement. It's already happening. It doesn't have to be led, but it needs to be amplified. target-boycott-tracker.vercel.app
