While their constituents are asleep, Republicans are trying to take away health care from 13.7 million people to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.

Did Trump just say he will put tariffs on medications?
Americans already pay more for prescription medications than anywhere in the world - and he wants us to pay EVEN MORE?
Americans want cheaper drug prices. Trump is giving us higher taxes instead.

To my own community: this is not just about immigrants.Trump has set up a challenge to the meaning of the provision of the Constitution written & ratified to ensure our full citizenship. We must protect its integrity in full. We can never be silent when the 14th is attacked. It is our legacy.

There are concerns that the #election2024results have far more votes for #Trump than for each #Republican Senator in the same state. We did an exhaustive study of 17 states & found it true. We've released our study of this pattern we call #dropoff #SEDATA

Maybe you grew up thinking elections are fair & no one does them better than the USA. That is certainly what we’re taught in school. I was lucky, my parents were deeply involved in politics; & while highly idealistic, they were unflinchingly cynical. So I learned to hold those 2 concepts together.

Um, this statement doesn’t sound good or reassuring to me. But hey maybe it’s me & the tequila is talking for me. 😐
United CEO Andrew Witty gave an address to the company today (leaked to me), telling employees "we guard against...unnecessary care" and that "There are very few people in the history of the U. S. healthcare industry who had a bigger positive effect on American healthcare than Brian [Thompson]."

To hack an election, you'd want to make sure it was demographically possible. To know the ground campaigns of both candidates. You could boost one campaign in areas where they had a strong game, & decrease votes in areas where it could be rationalized that the other team was weak. #SaltTyphoon
