Open enrollment for ACA healthcare plans has started, and enrollees are seeing what their premium costs will be next year.
Without subsidies, one couple will see their monthly costs increase from $495 to $2,168 — a 300% increase.
This is what Democrats are fighting to prevent.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.
McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law.
A new generation that renews the “we” in “we the people.”
Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as part of its future.

ICE now has a budget bigger than most militaries around the world and has increased spending on weapons.
It's also engaging in a race to recruit 10,000 new agents who will eventually be out in American streets.
Some will be vetted, but how many unqualified recruits will fall through the cracks?

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance.
Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn.

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance

I can say, I never imagined the GOP would go along with eviscerating the first amendment’s freedom of speech. Sadly I’m not confused why… it about power and not principle.
The Democrats will be in charge again someday. And we will see the GOP’s selective outrage re-emerge.
