It would be a miracle. But, if wants bragging rights over Obama for all eternity, this would be the way.

Here’s the 84 pages of various healthcare proposals that the Democrats ended up expressing support for www.politico.com/f/?id=000001...

About 42,000,000 people would be covered if the Medicare age were lowered to 55

Lowering the Medicare age to 55 would cover about 42,000,000 more people, -about twice as many as the (also) popular Medicaid expansion

This doesn’t seem like an order to USE HB1. It seems like a prohibition Either way, this is a clown show, not a respectably governed election

You would think the “likelihood of success” factor would negate the possibility of a TRO, given the unanimous MO S Ct decision and SCOTUS’ refusal to take the case

What a joke- it never stops. They are so desperate to gerrymander. Our rights playthings without any true protection or meaning

Jeff Basinger @wolfraiseshuman.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
It’s a bit of a pattern!! They love wild attempts to gerrymander, accusing Democrats of gerrymandering, and refusing to make gerrymandering rules

Great news!! In the end, we all learned a lot. It’s good to confirm MO has referendum power on maps We already knew there was almost zero gerrymandering limitations (contiguous and close to equal districts). The People are a better check/balance than the legal limits on gerrymandering

Happy Labor Day!! Congrats on the common sense MO S Ct decision. MO should at least vote on this mid-decade gerrymandering.I guess you might not have to campaign way out here in Columbia I hope the Dems get a good consensus on healthcare! Saw the WaPo article. Lowering Medicare age would be amazing

AOC wants Medicare at age 55. Popular, amazing proposal!! It would be the greatest domestic policy achievement in 50+ years. Dem leadership need to develop a consensus on their healthcare policy goals. You can’t beat this proposal @aoc.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov

Imagine desperately trying to gerrymander this hard. The mid-decade redistricting already should have been ruled unconstitutional. Instead the chaos continues.

What ARE his stances on sports and age of care? Those are the two main issues and Democrats seem to think they can just refuse answers, despite Republicans hammering them on trans issues every election.

New KFF poll: Americans want Congress to extend the expiring, enhanced Obamacare credits by a whopping margin of 78% to 22% — a remarkable political entrenchment for subsidies that were a heavy political lift for Democrats just a few years ago, per Politico.

Do they think that if Medicaid doesn’t pay for emergency care that the cost just goes away?

Stoked Republicans are screaming “America First” for medical coverage! Ready to go on expanding Medicare/Medicaid and reducing private insurance costs- just like voters want.

We’re just going to get hammered on transgender stuff again this election cycle… and for all eternity, right? Talarico, Sherrill and most other Dems think they can just deflect it, since that’s what the party has done for ten years. They don’t realize that time’s up www.foxnews.com/sports/mikie...

Mikie Sherrill remains silent on issue of trans athletes in women's sports as Trump calls her out for it
Mikie Sherrill, New Jersey's Democrat candidate for governor, voted against the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act twice and co-sponsored the Transgender Bill of Rights.

Sure. Left wing terrorism is at an all time high, going from 3% of domestic terror fatalities to 4%. Right wing terrorism on the other hand has dipped to an all time low of 95% So technically, yeah.

So Dems focus too much on LGBTQ+, climate change and abortion- but (seemingly unknown to Ezra Klein), the polls favor Dems on abortion nationwide. Reps focus too much on crime and immigration. The polls favored them on immigration before the election, but now their actual policies are unpopular.

Lots of Democrat defectors on this, which is bizarre, since MO is the ONLY state that grabs control of police departments from major cities. It’s power consolidation at the state level, by Republicans who love politicizing crime and dislike liberal cities. #moleg

Republicans are good at blaming, but not fixing. The economy, immigration and crime are evergreen issues for Republicans because they can’t be eliminated. They’re largely subjective and ripe for propaganda and fear mongering

The government’s “sell or be banned” edict on TikTok was always a threat to our free speech, full stop. Vague, unsupported claims of propaganda shouldn’t be a basis for cutting Americans off from global speakers and audiences.

I agree that enforcement is the problem Even if he wins and they drag it out for a year or more-eventually he goes back to ABC. Even if he got screwed and did nothing wrong, they want him to be hated or whatever- like Bud Light. The overall goal is basically to make him a financially damaged asset

The FCC’s explicit threats to ABC’s licenses is clear coercion in violation of the 1A. Similar threats were recently unanimously found to be violations by SCOTUS. Even Justice Thomas called those actions “ham-fisted. Here’s some facts from Vullo v NRA and then the FCC statement regarding Kimmel
