As the lights continue to dim on our Democracy, I just want to go on record that I have always believed that everyone deserves quality universal health coverage whatever it’s called. No one should ever have to worry about going to the doctor and putting food on the table. No one. It’s a human right.

I don’t know if Kamala Harris plans to run in 2028, but this here is a master class in how to handle a loaded question.

“I never listen to polls. If I listened to polls, I would never have run for my first office or my second office. And I certainly wouldn’t be sitting here in this interview.” 🔥

Here in Chicago, there have been sweeps at Home Depots, and some visual profiling.

But mostly they’ve grabbed undocumented people at worksites, while driving, standing outside.

How do they know exactly where they are?

Well, Fam, just found out our health insurance is jumping from $1700 to over $3000 a month. And we still have to wait till Nov 1 to see more options—when the site will probably crash because everyone will be freaking out at the same time.

Elon Musk is manipulating the chatbot GROK to be right wing. For example, previously, when asked what the biggest danger to democracy is, GROK's response was "misinformation and disinformation."
The new response is "low fertility rates."

It’s inevitable that at some point, people get sick or injured. What isn’t inevitable is the sick and injured being unable to afford needed treatments. That’s a policy choice. I’m fighting to keep health care costs from surging, and I urge my colleagues to do the same.
