Open enrollment for ACA plans began yesterday in Idaho.

One couple got notice that their monthly premium next year would jump from $51 to $2,232 as subsidies expire.

25,000 Idahoans are expected to be priced out of coverage.

This is what's at stake in Trump's shutdown.

Nothing Christian will ever be associated with Mike Johnson

Porn, Child trafficking cover-up, the worst Congress in America's history, supporting racism WILL.

...and the cameras should be assigned by the user's name and ID badge, so the Rule of Law knows who is responsible.

Yep, the MAGA gang thinks that peaceful protests are hating America, ignoring the fact that our Constitution was created with We The Peoples right to peaceful assembly.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

Always remember, Bessent's net worth tops 1/2 Billion dollars. He doesn't represent anything "the people".

We’ve lived 15 years under Citizens United, watching billionaires and corporations shape democracy with their wallets. Reform once seemed impossible. But now, a group in Montana is asking a radical question: What if states simply stopped granting corporations the power to spend in politics?

Could We End Corporate Money In Politics?

Backers of a referendum before Montana voters next year believe they’ve found a vulnerability on Citizen United

This deserves more attention. North Carolina wiped out $6.5 Billion in medical debt for 2.5 million residents. Less than 1/3 of what we paid to bail out Argentina.

Tim Walz: "The biggest myth is that this guy understands business. He's an absolute abject failure at business ... the irony is calling Democrats socialists when I am begging for free markets here to allow capitalism to work. Donald Trump is the one with government interference."

Tim Walz: "It's almost unimaginable that he's got Milei in there, giving him $20 billion, so that they can undercut us and China can buy their soybeans from them. And now China has learned they can replace our markets."
