We're in a moment where the challenges we face have more to do with the ways that politicians are bought off than actually having a conversation with the broader public. If Mike Rogers had showed up, he'd say that this race is about him or me. It's not. It's about you.

Particularly eye-opening one from HCR. Should be shared widely. She quotes from an article by Michael Luttig talking about a nightmare scenario in which Mike Johnson goes along with Maga loyalists and refuses to seat Dems elected in the midterms. We need to be ready to fight back if it comes to that

You know, when you find out that the art you like is made by people you've learned hold views you find wholly repugnant, I don't think you need to disavow ever having enjoyed the art. It's okay to acknowledge you liked or loved that art, but are now putting it aside. That was then, this is now.

Thank goodness. Shortly after Jan 6, we were in DC. We saw Michael Fanone at Farmers and Distillers, I think being interviewed. I was overcome with feelings. So glad he survived, so sorry for what he endured. I left him alone but part of me wishes I had approached him with solidarity. wish I had.

This needs to be looked into and shared. This means that Elon Musk when he gutted our agencies stole our Social Security numbers also went into the IRS. So technically Elon Musk has 340 million felonies. DHS is gonna have whoever they’ve got on that list in felonies.

The President has decided that in order to make ground beef cheaper, he will cut tariffs on ground beef. And I'm wondering if he could generalize from this one product to other products, and perhaps concede that tariffs raise prices on American consumers.

Of course that's just an *average.* Take a couple in their early 60's living in Columbia, SC earning $90K/year. In 2025, the benchmark Silver ACA plan cost them $641/mo. In 2026, this jumped to $2,726/mo. In 2027? Try $3,194/mo...or an *additional* $468/month. 👀 acasignups.net/ira-subsidy-...

Put another way: In 2025, the benchmark Silver plan cost this couple 8.5% of their gross annual income in premiums. In 2026, due to Republicans allowing the improved ACA tax credits to expire, this jumped to 36% of their income. In 2027 they'd have to pay over 42% of their income. 😳
