Remember your own words
President Trump said on the campaign trail that he had ‘concepts of a plan’ to make health care affordable.

More than a year later… we’re still waiting for it.

@seancasten.bsky.social maybe you can get ahold of Durbin. He’s blocked all his constituents from even leaving voicemails, including me in 60181.

I don't know what the Senate is going to do. But if they do in fact fold in exchange for nothing, they will be living up to past performance. To expect the Senate to carry out the will of the American people is to misunderstand why it was created in the first place.

Durbin, from Illinois, isn’t even accepting voicemails right now. He’s retiring and does not give a shit, I guess.
Following up on this. This remains a ‘cave is minutes or hours away’ situation. If you want to impact how this plays out you need to contact senators literally now. I want to add additional points of context. What I’m relaying is what I’ve picked up from highly reliable sources.
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Senate Dems, do not cave. Ensuring healthcare premiums don’t surge is an 80-20 issue. They want to gut the ACA because their disdain for Obama far outweighs their concern for anyone’s health.

Bluesky has been critical to Democracy Docket's growth and reach. Nate Silver is an idiot.
"Blueskyism" helped make The Onion one of the largest newspapers in the world in less than a year. If we had spent all of our time on Twitter, we'd be poorer, dumber and terminally ill with internet poisoning. He's just angry he's wasting away over there in a nazi agnostic lane that doesn't exist.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Foot traffic at Target fell 3.9% YoY in June, marking the 5th consecutive month of declines since it rolled back DEI.

At Costco, which rebuffed demands to dismantle its DEI initiatives, store visits by consumers were decidedly better.
