Expiring ACA subsidies will saddle millions of Americans with massive monthly premium increases.

Is it any wonder that 63% of Americans now support Medicare for All?

In an unforgettable Veterans Day moment, former President Barack Obama surprised dozens of Korean and Vietnam War veterans as their Honor Flight landed in Washington, D.C. The veterans, fresh off their flight from Madison, Wisconsin, were greeted by President Obama himself.

I always find it interesting how the story changes when a lawyer gets to court. They can say anything they want outside of court without accountability but the rules are vastly different in court where you can get seriously penalized for lying.

Dear Bluesky

Zohran Mamdani showed the Democratic party exactly how to win, but I fear they will totally deny the lesson. Meanwhile, ballroom boy has already pivoted to affordability. Please don’t let the old guard lose yet another election due to corruption and incompetence.

Thanks,

It's abundantly clear that a lot of Department of Homeland Security agents take great pleasure in inflicting violence on other people.
The DOJ accuses Martinez of assulting/impeding a federal agent on Oct. 4, even after an agent shot her.

An exhibit filed yesterday shows text messages discussing media coverage of the case.

"I fired 5 rounds and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book boys."

Justice Barrett worried that the tariff refund process would be a mess if the plaintiffs win this case. Maybe you should’ve stayed the administration’s actions upfront. It’s only a mess because SCOTUS allowed it.

The DOJ has been firing judges with immigrant defense backgrounds. Those dismissals come as the administration has ramped up mass deportations of those without legal status, and sometimes pointed to judges as obstacles in that effort. www.npr.org/2025/11/06/g...
