Earlier this year, NM lawmakers increased distributions to the Health Care Affordability Fund to protect affordable health insurance for around 80,000 New Mexicans. Without these subsidies, some families could see their healthcare costs rise by ~$1,000 a month. Learn more ➡️ ow.ly/WSQf50ZTf9j

great @kendrahurley.bsky.social piece, and I so agree. the most realistic path forward for universal child care involves allowing parents the option to stay home with their infants. Paid leave can reduce so much pressure from the system, and so many yearn for it www.theatlantic.com/family/2026/...

The fact that both Democrats and Republicans are racing to the 10 side of a 90-10 issue really tells you a lot about the state of our democracy (it's a corporatocracy), and how both parties view democracy in general (as a nuisance).
