@jvl.bsky.social Is there a strategy of releasing pressure valve with what Senate did tonight so that momentum/anger against the ACA subsidies withdrawal could be harnessed for November 2026? If the pressure kept piling on, it might burst in unexpected ways with no elections planned till next year?

As of today, import taxes (aka tariffs) have hit their highest level since the Great Depression. Americans are now expected to pay an average of 18.3% more for imported products. Remember when Trump ran on lowering costs?

And a little cherry on top: Source tells me that last night, the virulently anti-abortion and anti trans group American Principles Project held a fundraiser for Earle-Sears. It was hosted by Jill Vogel, a former state Senator whose law firm has since done a bunch of work for Leonard Leo's network

NEW: Virginia's GOP nominee for governor Winsome Earle-Sears recently claimed that she never supported limiting abortion access. But she: *endorsed a 15-week ban after Roe fell *said abortion should be illegal in almost all cases *suggested consent to sex is consent to pregnancy in audio I obtained

Watching Mike Johnson champion a bill that will cut $715 billion from Medicaid, $300 billion from SNAP and perhaps $500 billion from Medicare Lie about it-claiming the programs WOULDN'T be cut And argue the legislation is "moral" Is maybe the most perverse thing I've ever seen a politician do

I just emailed my coffee company to make sure I am not inadvertently buying coffee from El Salvador and to remind them that they can support our democracy by also not doing so. It would be a shame if we were all supporting Bukele’s death camps with our morning coffee.
