MN in a mess...From @startribune.com More than 320,000 Minnesotans must shop for new health insurance this fall as roughly a dozen Medicare Advantage plans will be eliminated...When will people learn Advantage plans are private insurance with the Medicare name slapped on...not Medicare.

Am I the only one thinking he'll resign once the mid terms give Ds control of the Senate? And they'll confirm someone else before 1/3/2027? I know long term lots more has to happen even if they do...but I keep thinking he'll resign in November?

So I got $90 from #Trump to help with my Medicare. Yeah bub, my supplemental premium went up $40/month. Lot a good your bribe is going to do me long term. So I decided to use the $$ to support @marcelias.bsky.social and @democracydocket.com and become a subscriber as they fight to save us all.

Trump is actually very transparent about what he wants to do to elections. Yet the legacy media discounts him. “I have to take him seriously because that’s my job,” Marc Elias says. They want you tired and tuned out. We help you stay in the fight. Support us: demdock.com/4yDtK9W

Senate Republicans just pulled their super PAC spending out of North Carolina and moved it to Kansas. That tells you way more about the state of the midterms than the polls or the talking-head spin. Blue wave incoming.

Thanks to SCOTUS GOP-appointed majority (same ones who attended Trump's state dinner last night), Trump admin will use faulty & inaccurate data to wrongly label eligible voters non-citizens & pressure states to remove them from rolls. Sets a chilling precedent www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Supreme Court allows Trump to use flawed database to vet voter citizenship
While the impact on the midterms might be minimal, Justice Jackson warns some eligible voters could be disenfranchised.

First the strongman’s friends acquire the newsrooms, then the coverage softens, then the elections start experiencing “anomalies,” and by the time most people notice, there’s nobody left on the air to expose the oligarchs and fascists, writes @hartmannreport.com

Why the Ellison Takeover of CNN Is Such Bad News for US Democracy
​The simple reality is that in every country that’s slid from democracy into strongman rule over the past half-century, the first step was capture of the media by friends of the regime.
