The Affordable Care Act became law in 2010

Since then, Republicans tried to repeal, replace, defund and overturn it

NEVER did they offer a viable alternative to it

Now-as health insurance costs are exploding-they’re terrified

Because it threatens their hegemony over the American body politic

COLLINS: If you have a healthcare plan, why not have that out there to talk about in the public so people can hear it?

MIKE JOHNSON: We need to get back to regular session so we can. We will not negotiate with legislative terrorists

When Trump, RFK Jr, DeSantis and Ladapo attack vaccines, they not only revive diseases we beat long ago, they delay cutting edge cancer research.

So proud UF leads on this vital frontier! Lives are on the line. Stop the assaults on mRNA vax research. #GatorNation
Study finds COVID-19 mRNA vaccine sparks immune response to fight cancer
Lung and skin cancer patients lived longer if they received the vaccine before or during treatment.

Fact checking, given that a sexual predator just mentioned "600 New York Rabbis" at the mayoral debate:
OVER 90% of the rabbis who signed that letter ARE NOT FROM NEW YORK!!!

I have to stress how highly unusual it is for the most powerful military on the planet to be blowing up random boats in international waters.

I can’t help but feel that several criminal charges will ultimately come from these strikes.

It makes far more sense to interdict them.

Important insights on Trump/ Abbott’s dismantling of UT, which has powered our economy for nearly 150 years. “Those who see higher education as a threat are intervening directly — breaking norms, rules and even constitutional protections — to suppress and punish controversial opinions.”
After 35 years at UT Austin, I hardly recognize my university | Opinion
What was once a beacon of access and discovery is now fighting for its soul and mission as political attacks upend norms, rules and rights, Lisa L. Moore writes.

Let’s call it what it is: murder
A tweet from Jessica Tarlov says: “The government has killed 32 people in 7 strikes with no evidence they were traffickers... The law still applies, even to suspected drug traffickers, and right now, the Administration’s story isn’t adding up.” Below is a screenshot from Fox News’ The Five showing Tarlov speaking on-air, with a chyron reading “TRUMP VS NARCOS – PRESIDENT RAMPS UP STRIKES AGAINST TRAFFICKERS.”

Health insurance costs jumped for workers & employers in 2025.

This will get worse if the GOP refuses to extend ACA subsidies.

Meanwhile, the seven largest health insurance companies made a combined $71B in profits in 2024.

Still not sure we need Medicare for All?

Via @jayshams.bsky.social, Michael Wolff is suing Melania for SLAPP and demanding subpoenas, including of Trump.

www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...
10. By her Threat Letter and this responsive Declaratory Action and related Anti-SLAPPDeclaratory Action, Mrs. Trump has given Wolff subpoena power which he intends toexercise fully and expeditiously. Since the statements at issue pertain to matters that largelyoccurred here in the NewYork City this action will call for and permit subpoenas to numerouswitnesses, most of them in NewYork. Subpoenas will go to those who frequented or who werepart of Epstein's circle, including Mr. Trump.
