No one should be in debt because they got sick. That's why we created this innovative tool to clear billions in medical debt.

That was just the start. Now, millions of North Carolinians who have been struggling with mounting medical bills have a clean slate.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

Wanna stop getting calls and texts from me about Prop 50? Send your ballot in today. That removes you from the contact lists, and helps phone bankers use their time more effectively :)

NO. It's fundamentally inappropriate for the @dscc.bsky.social to form a fundraising committee with Janet Mills. What happened to staying OUT of the primaries?

Trump is no longer even pretending to have any kind of argument that his murdering of people in the Caribbean Sea has any kind of statutory validity. Just straight up declaring that he has quasi-unlimited power to execute people based on (nominal) suspicion.

I remember when Joe Biden traveled to 8 cities for 14 appearances in 9 days after the June debate and then did a 90 minute UN brief but the media still relentlessly hounded him. Where's that media? At a Jake Tapper book talk?

HPM's @adrianna.bsky.social says, “we should expect a lot of marketplace enrollees to be receiving unpleasant news about their premiums in mid- and late-October. People may have the option to switch to a plan with lower premiums...but those switches often come with a large increase in deductibles."

Without Obamacare subsidies, this couple's insurance premiums are set to go up almost $2,000

The subsidies are a key sticking point in the government shutdown: Democrats in Congress say that in order to secure their votes to reopen the government, they must be extended.

Just ordered our #NoKings costumes.

Decided against "inflatable frogs" since we want to be able to sit down once in awhile.

Unfortunately they didn't have crunchy available.

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?
