I voted for Bush Jr and then Dems ever since. Concerned about the world I’m leaving to my kids. I want a public health option, equality, and a sane environmental policy.

In 2014 during the net neutrality wars, Obama voiced his support for net neutrality. Republicans REPEATEDLY, for YEARS, (falsely) claimed this was an illegal, unethical affront to FCC independence.
11 years later they now insist the FCC has no independence and serves at the whims of our mad king:

McGovern: "When billionaire CEOs need something, Republicans move at lightning speed. But when it comes to working people needing affordable health care, suddenly the story changes. There's hand wringing and the money is gone. My friends, if you are ok with that, we do not share the same values."

European leaders commit to aid Ukraine militarily against future Russian attacks, if a peace deal is reached. Nothing Trump and Russia asked for will be part of deal, including their requests to occupy Ukrainian territory. The US was reduced to an observer role, France will lead the coalition.

The ACA isn't just "health care for people who don't have a conventional employer." It also disallows something that was incredibly common 20 years ago, which I fear is getting lost to generational memory: insurance companies could deny you health care for essentially any previous health problem.
I'm dubious about Amazon's commitment to keeping pre-existing conditions a thing of the past.

25 years ago today, SCOTUS elected George W Bush president of the United States by blocking completion of a voting canvass in Florida. A subsequent canvass by the Associated Press showed that Bush's rival, Al Gore, had won the race in Florida—and thus the contest for the presidency—by 700 votes.

Mike Johnson views his primary role as Speaker to prevent as many votes as possible on things that would easily pass because a bipartisan majority favors them. That is exactly what he has done his entire tenure. He blocks things majorities want and keeps the House out of session for long stretches.
