Q: “Most hospitals + people who will lose insurance are in rural areas. If Trump & Republicans are so intent on sticking it to their own voters, why not let them?”

@aoc.bsky.social : “That’s the difference between us & Trump. I don’t care if you voted for me, I want you to have health care.”

Yesterday we went to the Portland office of Senator Collins. Before we could even introduce ourselves, we were told to stop filming and that the conversation was over. We had, “made our point.”

Except that we hadn’t. We brought body bags into her office because people all over the world are dying

MacCALLUM: Andrew Cuomo tomorrow night in that debate, he's gonna say 'I'm gonna bring 5,000 more police officers to the street.' Will you match that?

MAMDANI: I don't look to Andrew Cuomo for leadership

Justice JACKSON standing up for voting rights. 🔥

Louisiana: Plaintiffs said 'we want another majority-black district.'

Jackson: No. They said 'we aren't receiving equal electoral opportunity because our votes are being diluted.'

Louisiana: Same thing.

Jackson: No, it’s not.

AIRLINE PASSENGERS: If you are subjected to Kristi Noem's video blaming the government shutdown on the Democrats, it is a violation of the Hatch Act. Please file a complaint with the appropriate airport authority.
