It’s weird how the “young” Republicans are actually full-grown men and JD Vance treats them as children who shouldn’t face consequences for their racism, misogyny, or xenophobia.

But pregnant 12-year-old little girls are treated as adults and must literally bear the consequences of rape and incest.

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.

Take a picture of yourself at the No Kings rally.

Print it.

Your grandchildren will speak about you for generations to come. You took a stand against fascism. You stood up for democracy.

@chadkultgen.bsky.social’s MAGA mom slowly realizes Republicans have been lying to her that Dems are fighting for undocumented people to be covered by federal insurance, which is not allowed by federal law.

Bessent’s friends have huge investments in Argentina.

Elon Musk does too.

Bessent is sending $40 billion of our money to Argentina with more to come.

There is zero oversight. Congress not involved.

One unelected man is sending a fortune to Argentina and nobody will stop him,
