Humanist. Lover of science and nature. I relocated from Twitter. I'm a lifelong Democrat who's very disappointed but not hopeless. We must do better. Do not obey in advance. 💙 #FBR #StrongerTogether #BlueCrew #Resist

He doesn't care and neither does his phony wife.

Perhaps Miller is the essential butt plug that keeps all the other Republicans firmly up Trump's ass.

You can understand this shutdown with 3 numbers.

15M — the number of people Republicans want to kick off health care

20M — the number of people Republicans want to 2x health premiums for

0 — the number of times Republicans have called the House back to reopen the government

Everything that doesn't go their way is a conspiracy. Republicans are exhausting.

I like to remind people about lifetime limits and the refusal of insurers to sell coverage to people with preexisting conditions.

The ACA has issues. But those 2 things alone make it worth saving and fixing.

Without the extension of ACA credits, healthcare costs will increase nationwide. Wyoming will see a 693% increase, while West Virginia could see as high as 654%.

We need to make healthcare affordable, not crush Americans with high costs.

I look at Meghan and see the entitled, protective bubble that she has lived in her whole life and I realize how truly clueless she is. I would be embarrassed to speak up if I were her.

Peter Thiel, who has been named in the Epstein files, dares to come out with this? Is he naming himself?

None of this was happening before his stupid, freaking tariffs.

I don’t think circumcision causes autism, but the evidence linking micropenis to fascism just keeps piling up.

The chump administration has gutted Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services in the Dept of Education.

This department is responsible for ensuring that 7.5M children are not discriminated against & are treated fairly within the public school system.

The Trump family knows plastic surgery better than they know the backs of their hands. He is just whining because he's gross.

Mike Johnson said he still has PTSD from 2017 when McCain stopped repeal of the ACA. 44 million have health insurance because of the ACA. He’s lying when he said they had an alternative. Where is it…

If Adelita Grijalva is confirmed, Congress will vote to release the Epstein Files.

As long as Congress is shut down, Mike Johnson has an excuse for why he will not hold a vote to confirm Grijalva.

I have been to Oregon but never to Crater Lake and it is definitely somewhere I want to visit in my lifetime. It looks like one of the most beautiful places on Earth. 🥰

I can't believe people are getting kidnapped out of their homes by people who refuse to show ID. All law enforcement officers are required to carry and show ID. If any person claims to be law enforcement and refuses to show me ID, I don't have to believe they are law enforcement.

ICE targeted an apartment building near my home. Masked agents in unmarked cars. I've said this before. Democratic Governors & Mayors need to order their local police depts to arrest any & all unidentified & masked alleged ICE agents.

This anonymous denial of due process is deadly.

The answer is yes. I live in the largest city in a red state and I feel safer when I visit large cities in blue states.
