I spoke at a Steering & Policy Committee hearing where I shared #OR06 constituents Conni and Steve's stories.
If Republicans do not extend the premium tax credits, Americans like Conni and Steve will face devastating impacts to their wallets.
To my Republican colleagues: do the right thing.

This is a quick read and it makes so much sense. We should be coalescing with allies and Republicans need to work with Ds to change course.

The next few months need to resemble the 2017 fight to save the ACA. In the end, we won. Call Congressmembers, confront them at town halls, offices, airports & fundraisers. Hold events so Congressmembers look really bad for being afraid of constituents.
Let's show up. Let's organize. Let's win.

At a time when many social-media sites have abandoned their safeguards against mis- and disinformation, Wikipedia is a bastion of transparency and accessible knowledge. So maybe it should come as no surprise that Elon Musk has been attacking it.

Lately, Musk’s beef has merged with a general conviction on the right that the site is biased against conservatives.
