Once those affordable care, act subsidies are gone, the Republicans would never give them back. You are condemning people to die due to lack of access to healthcare. Shame on you.

So how do we set up other government agencies to be “quasi Private” to insulate them from decimation?

A cyber National Guard? So that the current president can use them against our own people? Work with your fellow Congress members to rein in this domestic terror.

Who is Lori the Librarian, new idol of the book banners? She's a superhero who defaces little free libraries and "takes down" librarians and educators. But *what* is she? A PragerU-like animation by a couple who have been campaigning against DEI for years. buttondown.com/wellsourced/...

Who Is Lori the Librarian, The New Idol of The Book Banners?
Book banners have created a new superhero for their campaign. Her powers? Bigotry, cruelty, and vandalism.

Also signaling to other law-enforcement officers that they can do whatever they want because they will receive pardons. Excessive or unwarranted use of force during protests? Violations of due process? Anything goes.

You better not vote for it, Slotkin, and you better persuade your GOP friends not to either. If you’re going to throw us to the wolves on crypto, at least get something for your constituents out of it

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...
Rep. Laurel Libby, R-Auburn, recently used my second-place finish in the 1,600-meter run, and that of my teammate in the 800-meter run, to malign Soren Stark-Chessa, the trans-identified athlete who finished first.

One of the reasons I chose to run cross-country and track is the community: Teammates cheering each other on, athletes from different schools coming together, and the fact that personal improvement is valued as much as, if not more than, the place we finish.

Last Friday, I ran the fastest 1,600-meter race I have ever run in middle school or high school track and earned varsity status by my school’s standards. I am extremely proud of the effort I put into the race and the time that I achieved. The fact that someone else finished in front of me didn’t diminish the happiness I felt after finishing that race. I don’t feel like first place was taken from me. Instead, I feel like a happy day was turned ugly by a bully who is using children to make political points.

We are all just kids trying to make our way through high school. Participating in sports is the highlight of high school for some kids. No one was harmed by Soren’s participation in the girls’ track meet, but we are all harmed by the hateful rhetoric of bullies, like Rep. Libby, who want to take sports away from some kids just because of who they are.

School board member here. Conservatives in my district have suggested an a la carte approach to public education and if that sounds like a nightmare, that's because it is. 🧵

I think you mean if he doesn’t resign, he should be charged with breaking the following laws: the federal records protection act, the intelligence identities protection act, the espionage act. If there is not a consequence, they will do it again.

I agree Jane. We have to take the message TO them. The mainstream media is not doing it well. It needs to be simplified and packaged to lure them from Fox News. Have Sara Longwell use focus groups to find the magic formula that breaks through. Buy time on a free network. Do giveaways
