The ACA tax credits expire on December 31st.

There is still time to extend these life-saving tax credits that help tens of millions of Americans afford health care.

House Republicans: do the right thing and work with Democrats to save health care.

214 House Democrats have signed the discharge petition to extend the ACA tax credits. We only need 4 Republicans to sign.

House GOP: Join us NOW before it's too late.

The one point I'd agree with:

Just about everything is down.

Oh yes. Down.
Trump: "They use the word 'affordability.' It's a Democrat hoax."

Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars.

She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

So @aftynbehn.bsky.social hit 45% in TN-7, cutting a 21-pt gap down to about 9 pts.

In a district drawn to prevent exactly that.

Fair maps matter. Every state needs them properly codified- with enforcement.

Wisconsin does not. Yet.

First it was @jimacosta.bsky.social with The Phone It In President.

Now it's @hcrichardson.bsky.social with The Epstein Class.

Used in a sentence:
The Phone It In President & his administration have no time for anyone but The Epstein Class.

Democrats didn't win in Tennessee but we did well coming as close as we did.

This still bodes well for the mid terms.

Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Now the Phone-It-In President has pardoned a former Honduran pres convicted of trafficking cocaine.

His team is striking left-leaning, multiracial democracies like Venezuela.

He still calls Putin “smart” and “genius.”

To me, this looks like building an authoritarian Christian nationalist axis.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

"He [Greg Walker of IN] said he would have reported the violation to federal authorities “if I thought that there was anyone of integrity in Washington that would follow through on my accusation and actually cause someone to lose their job over it.”"

Agreed.

Thing is, we DID hear about it at his confirmation hearing.

Every single senator who voted to confirm Hegseth knew he held these views about the laws of war.

They voted to confirm him anyway.
Everyone should read this terrifying thread about Hegseth’s published views wrt war crimes. It’s pretty fucking radical …. We needed to hear about this in his confirmation hearing.
A chapter in Hegseth’s book is literally titled “More Lethality, Less Lawyers.”

It’s almost as if there were signs!

Revisiting this b/c @hcrichardson.bsky.social latest post w the @wsj.com bombshell make it even clearer.

New layer:

Tech bros want resources.
Christian Nationalists want alliances only w “believers”
The looong-range play?

A world pushed into Russia v China, w everyone else squeezed btwn the 2.
What if the long game is control of the Arctic and everything else in between through a vice where one handle is the US and the other is Russia?

With Russia as the lead but Trump thinking bilateral equals.

Would explain Trump's Canada ideas. And the push to drop Ukraine & NATO.

Reminder:

The Supreme Court did not say the president can “do anything.”
Service members must follow lawful orders — and refuse unlawful ones.

The 6 veterans in Congress told the truth:

their oath is to the Constitution, not a man.

That’s not sedition.
That’s what we must all act under.

Period.

I think that somewhere along the way something in Stephen Miller got fundamentally damaged. This is neither an excuse nor a mitigating factor; the dude is genuinely fucking evil and he and everything he stands for should be fought against and stopped. But he is something beyond mere sociopathy.
Since Stephen Miller is in the midst of another of his Aryans-only trantrums, we should note that his family are 20th century immigrants from the shtetl of Antopol (Антопаль) then in the Hrodna gubernia of Russia. Applying his immigration rules, they would all have perished in the Holocaust.
Stephen Miller Is an Immigration Hypocrite. I Know Because I’m His Uncle.
If my nephew’s ideas on immigration had been in force a century ago, our family would have been wiped out.
