A woman was arrested for "lewd conduct" because she was dressed in penis suit with a sign that said "No dick-tator"
3 cops on a 53 yo woman.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

ACA health insurance will cost the average person 75% more next year, research shows
A new analysis shows that health insurance premiums for Obamacare are set to soar next year, as financial help that subsidized the cost expires. Congress is not likely to extend the subsidies.

The biggest changes to the Medicaid provisions in the Senate budget bill:
An increase in federal payments to Alaska and Hawaii.
A temporary $25 billion rural health fund.
A one year delay in the phase down of provider taxes.
Is that enough to get the votes?

This is a travesty & a nightmare. The US was a founder of @gavi.org. It lowers global vaccine costs, has vaccinated 1B children, & averted 19M deaths. This pull out will cost 100s of thousands of children's lives a year - and RFK Jr will be personally responsible.

They're cracking down on folks who projected they'd earn over 100% FPL who end up actually earning less than 100% FPL.
Normally a slight income discrepancy just means you have to pay back a small amount of the subsidies you received...but ACA subsidy eligibility *begins* at 100% FPL.

There are now more than 2000 #NoKings events scheduled for all 50 states, DC, Puerto Rico, Guam and about a dozen foreign countries.
RSVPs are skyrocketing, which is particularly worth noting because a lot of people are very understandably dead set against RSVPing.
We will not back down.
