ACA tax credits helped more Oregonians find coverage. Will Congress keep them? • Oregon Capital Chronicle
The decision before Congress is simple: protect families and communities by extending the healthcare tax credits that keep millions insured.

This dumbass regime seems dead set on getting the US mired in the dumbest war of the 21st century.
NO MORE WAR.
NO MORE WAR CRIMES.
Impeach. Convict. And removal from office for all of the regime members doing this. Good grief.

Tomorrow, the Senate will vote on an extension of ACA tax credits.

This vote boils down to one question: how many working people deserve to lose their health insurance to fund tax breaks for billionaires?

My answer: zero.

Tomorrow we will know Republicans’ answer.

Requiring foreign visitors to hand over 5 years of social media isn’t “security,” it’s unchecked government control.

All-seeing surveillance systems don’t make us safer. They are in direct opposition to our civil liberties.

Foreign tourists could be required to disclose 5 years of social media histories under Trump administration plan
The Customs and Border Protection proposal would apply even to countries that don't require visas to enter.

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

I am calling for Wilmer’s immediate release from NWIPC—he has NO criminal convictions, he poses no threat to the community, and he urgently needs appropriate medical care since ICE is denying him the treatment he requires.

I am grateful for Wilmer’s willingness to let me share his story.

There’s no telling how many similar stories are not being told for fear of retaliation.

By now, everyone should realize Trump is not going after violent criminals or the worst of the worst—he is terrorizing everyone, including U.S. citizens, and their loved ones.

In normal democracy terms, we've in bad shape and things are getting worse.

In consolidated authoritarianism terms, we're doing pretty well, as the regime is haphazard, meeting resistance, and growing increasingly unpopular.

Depends on one's perspective. I started using the latter standard in Jan.
It is good to see the pushback on Trump lead to real losses for him. But it's hard to be optimistic when he still wields the enormous power of the presidency. ICE is still rampaging, HHS is harming people, the U.S. may be about to sell out Ukraine, the boat strikes...he's still doing so much damage.

Speaker Johnson has kept the House out of session for 51 days. So I thought I would take the time to show my colleagues on the other side of the aisle around in case they don’t remember where to go or how things work.

Hope this helps!

I just walked out of federal court where I pleaded NOT GUILTY to the charges against me.

I will continue to stand up to authoritarianism and call this out for what it is: a political prosecution.

The Trump administration must obey the law.

Federal judges have been clear: release the contingency funds NOW.

Do not allow 42 million Americans to go hungry while billionaires get tax breaks.

Trump illegally withheld $5.5 billion in SNAP funds, defying Congress & the courts.

He’d rather let 16 million kids go hungry than obey the law.

After threats & delays, the WH now says it will “comply" w/ a court order to fund SNAP.

This is chaos. No way to run the government.

“Everybody I know is screwed if health insurance premiums go up.”

That's what's at stake in this shutdown.

No. I will not vote for a budget that doubles premiums.

I will not vote for a budget that makes the largest cut to Medicaid in history.

Democrats must not cave.

i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist
the other thing about this is that there is no reason to pit these candidates against each other? each are good fits for their respective electorates and each shows the value of vigorous campaigns focused on the stated material problems of voters.

Video of ICE agents using excessive force on peaceful protesters in Portland used as evidence during Federal trial this week. Portland Police testified that they observed ICE agents using excessive force that was unwarranted.

In the audience tonight is Charlotte Bennett, one of the 13 women that Andrew Cuomo is credibly alleged to have sexually harassed while they worked in his government.

She can't speak for herself because Cuomo's lawyers have hounded her.

So I confronted him.
