ICE took two more people from my local courthouse today. The wife of one of the guys who was taken showed up shortly after. She just had surgery. She was worried about paying rent and feeding her kids. This is happening *every day* in Massachusetts. Lives are being destroyed every single day.

... even in those areas, and others where the reality is bad, showing the wins is also reality. It also propels the story forward and shows — or reminds us — that a better way is possible. Insisting on doom is denying hope or the possibility of change. And I just fundamentally don't accept that.

Arguably the biggest democracy referendum next month: Virginia is one of only three states where the state constitution says people should lose their right to vote FOR THEIR ENTIRE LIFE if they are convicted of any felony. This measure would allow anyone to vote after prison.

Oh: I really can’t emphasize enough how useful it is to check — literally right now, do it. Likely, it’s peace of mind in a couple of minutes. At worst, you still have time (barely) to remedy it.

GOP ads right now are all about attacking trans people. Over, and over, and over. I was a gay teen in 2004 watching the Bush campaign try to win on attacking gay marriage, but the resort to this hate drive in campaign ads feels so dialed up now. I can’t imagine being an lgbt kid watching tv today.

"Medicaid work requirements" are above water with the American electorate (net +18). Calling the same policy "Medicaid eligibility cuts" meaningfully decreases support (net -11). I do not understand the insistence on adopting the framing of those trying to destroy Medicaid
Bar chart of polling data from Data For Progress.
Title: Voters Support the Same Medicaid Rules When Called "Work Requirements" and Oppose Them When Called "Eligibility Cuts".
Description: Under new rules, some adults can get or keep Medicaid only if the state confirms that they meet work, school, or volunteer rules. [Split A n=613] Do you support or oppose these Medicaid work requirements? [Split B n=598] Do you support or oppose these Medicaid eligibility cuts?

I hate doing the "a rollback of trans rights is the gateway for a rollback of women's rights" thing because trans rights are human rights in and of themselves, whatever the impact on cis women. But goddamn I wish more cis women had a sense of history and self preservation.

Vaccines for Children provides free shots to children who are uninsured, underinsured or eligible for Medicaid, as well as to American Indian and Alaska Native children.
Pediatric doses are available for children who have insurance, or whose parents can afford to pay for vaccines out of pocket.

Patients want to know that decisions about their health care are being made by doctors, not by Wall Street investors. If we’re going to lower costs and un-rig the health care system, we need to stop the corporate takeover of medicine. I’ve got a bill to get the job done.
DEMOCRATS INTRODUCE BILL TO BAN PRIVATE EQUITY FROM OWNING DOCTORS.

THE STOP CORPORATE TAKEOVERS OF PHYSICIANS ACT MAKES SURE YOUR HEALTH CARE DECISIONS ARE MADE BY DOCTORS — NOT PRIVATE EQUITY FIRMS, INSURANCE COMPANIES, OR OTHER FOR-PROFIT CORPORATIONS.
WHO OWNS YOUR DOCTOR?

OVER 80 PERCENT OF DOCTORS IN AMERICA NOW WORK FOR CORPORATIONS. 1 IN 10 DOCTORS IN AMERICA ARE CONTROLLED BY UNITEDHEALTH’S OPTUM — AND IT WANTS TO DIRECTLY EMPLOY MORE.

THE COST OF ALL OF THIS? HIGHER COSTS AND LOWER-QUALITY CARE FOR YOU. MORE PRESSURE AND BURNOUT FOR DOCTORS, FORCING SOME OF THEM TO LEAVE MEDICINE.
HOW DO WE FIX THIS?

PUT DOCTORS BACK IN CHARGE.

THE STOP CORPORATE TAKEOVERS OF PHYSICIANS ACT WOULD:

STOP CORPORATIONS AND PRIVATE EQUITY FIRMS FROM CONTROLLING DOCTORS’ PRACTICES THROUGH LEGAL LOOPHOLES.

KEEP MEDICAL DECISIONS IN DOCTORS’ HANDS.

BAN CONTRACT TERMS THAT RESTRICT WHERE DOCTORS CAN WORK AFTER LEAVING A PRACTICE, WHICH TRAP THEM IN PRACTICES THAT THEY WANT TO LEAVE.
