Reposted by AoreyusRobert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social · 10/11/2025Even if the Senate voted to extend ACA subsidies, the GOP-controlled House is unlikely to allow a vote on them. And there's of course no guarantee that Trump would even go along with a deal. The cruel irony is that this will end up hurting Republican states the most. 1351615467

Aoreyus @justonite.bsky.social · 27/08/2025For the longest time, I have blamed myself for many of the failures I had in my junior years of high school and college But the truth was, while some people were standing on the shoulders of giants, I was standing on a pile of rubble and ruins 100
Aoreyus @justonite.bsky.social · 15/08/2025It is my personal opinion that the blue state governors and lawmakers need to take a look at their states local law enforcement and think of strategies to push out sheriffs and head of agencies that are Trump sympathizers 100
Aoreyus @justonite.bsky.social · 15/08/2025The law, Posse Comitatus, only states that the federal government cannot use the military for domestic law enforcement. Military can absolutely be used when it is putting down a rebellion or an insurrection It also does not forbid the government from creating a paramilitary force 100
Aoreyus @justonite.bsky.social · 15/08/2025The battle for the midterm by stopping Republican gerrymandering is an important fight But let's not kid ourselves, Trump and the current Republican party is not going to peaceful transition power over to Democrats if they win over the elections They have no intentions on relinquishing power 100
