Health insurance costs jumped for workers & employers in 2025.
This will get worse if the GOP refuses to extend ACA subsidies.
Meanwhile, the seven largest health insurance companies made a combined $71B in profits in 2024.
Still not sure we need Medicare for All?

Country fans are upset with Zach Bryan after he criticized ICE in a song.
But don't let it be known that Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and Johnny Cash all despised fascism and leaned heavily to the left.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens.
Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.
