A week away to visit siblings and in-laws was wonderful, yet sad, funeral was the reason. On my way home, I had a sweet stay in historic Hotel Eklund, Clayton, New Mexico. Sitting by a sunny window I finished Oban Cardigan. Fantastic cables in this pattern #theacolman

We’ve set up a new task force to help keep you safe. At the last nationwide protest, 11 MAGA supporters were arrested for assaulting peaceful protesters—thanks to local authorities. We have coalition members at protests across the country to help monitor and stand alongside you.

Thanks for sharing your sister’s story – it means a lot to know how much the ACA made a difference in both of your lives.

Thank you @barackobama.bsky.social the ACA saved my sister's life more than once, and thanks to the ACA insurance companies can't deny my coverage.
The ACA is the single most consequential legislation in the last 20 years. #aca

Elon Musk's political action committee is offering Wisconsin voters $100 to sign a petition expressing their opposition to "activist judges," a cause that tRump is pressing as judges block or delay several parts of his agenda.

Musk's PAC offers $100 to Wisconsin voters in pitch against "activist judges"

The move reflects how Musk is throwing his considerable wealth behind Trump's priorities — including an upcoming election in Wisconsin for a crucial seat on the state's Supreme Court.
