The trump-bought supreme court will hear a hugely consequential case on Wednesday —today— that will determine the future of the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, the landmark civil rights law designed to prevent discrimination in voting nationwide.

Check it out!

From the vault: Mike Johnson said he’d take a blowtorch to the ACA.

Here’s the thing… 45% of marketplace enrollees are Republicans. Cool! So he’s threatening to burn the GOP’s own base. 🔥

Attention Republicans: there will be no such thing as a “safe seat” when your constituents find out their healthcare premiums are doubling.

Trump states will get hit hardest, and your voters think you don’t care.

Trump didn’t light the fire overnight. He’s been turning up the heat slowly, hoping we won’t notice until we’re already cooked.

Trump’s threat to invoke the Insurrection Act isn’t new, but it’s getting louder and from all directions!

We had years of warnings.
He told us what he’d do. Project 2025 laid it out, but too many shrugged.

How much is “enough” for everyone to start getting loud with one voice before it’s too late?

Jacob Soboroff is doing a great job investigating and debunking the claims that ICE is making about their arrests targeted worst of the worst

Congress can help reign in ICE- IF we get a Democratic majority. That will be more likely if California passes Proposition 50. #YesOnProp50

Whoa‼️ Dems could lose 19 seats due to GOP gerrymandering.

CA, UT & MD can’t fight fire with fire alone. Other blue states must step up, and every Democrat needs to vote. Don’t sit out any election.

Push your governors and legislators to act. Tell friends and family to vote. Help them. #YesOnProp50

Republicans called it Obamacare for a reason. To make the ACA toxic to their own voters.

Boom! Who’s winning the shutdown debate? THE ACA.

More Republicans than Democrats use the ACA marketplace. So the GOP’s base is relying on the same program their party is causing premiums to skyrocket.

45% of ACA marketplace enrollees are Republicans, and most live in GOP-held districts.

📌It is completely ABSURD Chuck Schumer and his Democratic elites pushed Janet Mills into the Maine senate race.
I like Mills OK, but she will be 78 when she runs.
It's past time to step aside and support new candidates.

📌I've lived in Maine and know Mainers.
Mills running is a MASSIVE mistake.

The ACA favorability jumped from -10 in 2014 to +30 today, a 40-point swing.

The future of the Republican Party is as reprehensible as the current party.

From: REICH-WING WATCH

LEAKED CHATS FROM LEADERS OF YOUNG REPUBLICAN GROUPS EXPOSE RACIST, ANTISEMITIC, PRO-HITLER VIEWS AND ADVOCACY FOR KILLING POLITICAL OPPONENTS.
