The Affordable Care Act became law 15 years ago today - what a godsend for our family!

My daughter was diagnosed with thyroid cancer right after high school.

She was able to undergo surgery, radiation therapy, and followups thanks to insurance coverage till age 26.

She’s 6 years cancer free! 💝

The Affordable Care Act turned 15 today despite Republicans nonstop attacks on law that saves over 30,000 Americans' lives annually.

Democrats are the party of life.

The GOP is the party of death.

All eyes needed on the Krome Detention Facility in Miami FL. People with no criminal history held in crowded rooms like sardines, denied water, food, sanitary products, healthcare, toilets. At least 4 men have died since January #ConcentrationCamps

SULLIVAN: “I do not care about the economy if the government claims it can break down anyone's doors, seize anyone with no due process, put them on a plane, and send them to a foreign jail… that is fundamental to this country.” 🇺🇸

Today, I stood with @lettercarriers.bsky.social Branch 283 and other postal unions to fight against USPS privatization. The USPS is vital to our communities—delivering medications, mail, and more, no matter where you live. We must protect it! #FightLikeHell #HellNo

This is incredible to witness.

Sen. Glenn Grothman checks his notes, so he obviously planned to say these things —yet delivers a masterclass in being completely out of touch. This is exactly what people mean when they say their representatives don’t get it. Cringe!

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths
