Due to the end of tax subsidies in the budget, insurers are already anticipating a "death spiral" in the ACA marketplace, where healthy people drop out and the rest have to pay higher premiums. Tell our Senators to vote no on the budget and protect ACA Fetterman 215 241-1090 McCormick 202 224-6324

The new @lastweektonight.com piece on juvenile incarceration featured several @ProPublica stories. First up was our 2021 investigation with @wpln.bsky.social about young Black kids in Tennessee jailed for a crime that doesn't exist: www.propublica.org/article/blac...

EXACTLY- the HYPOCRISY of these fuckheads!

Bullies only understand strength. That’s why I’ve been on the offense against Trump. Proud to see @gavinnewsom.bsky.social doing the same. We don’t back down.

This is the man we all love and adore❤️ Our hearts are with you President Biden❤️

I literally do not care to spend any time on the Biden cognitive decline scandal. There are literal fascists trying to seize control of our republic, and this is exactly what they want us talking about.

Michelle and I are thinking of the entire Biden family. Nobody has done more to find breakthrough treatments for cancer in all its forms than Joe, and I am certain he will fight this challenge with his trademark resolve and grace. We pray for a fast and full recovery.

Hey Night Owl 🦉 Drop a 💙 in the comments for President Biden to show your support during this difficult time! Repost♻️ #FuckCancer #StrongerTogether #Biden 🫂

Our beloved President Biden has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer. The cancer is Stage 4. It has metastasized to the bone. Prostate cancer experts say that while President Biden’s diagnosis is serious and the cancer has spread to the bones, it can be treated and…

“The $400 million private jet that the government of Qatar gifted to Donald Trump is the Michael Jordan’s house of private planes,” says Chris Hayes. “It turns out, no one wanted to buy Qatar’s hand-me-downs… it looks like Qatar finally found a sucker to pawn it off to.”

“Deeply creepy” indeed: 1932, say hello to 2025.

During his hearing RFKJ 🧠🪱claimed that no "working scientists” were fired 🧐 The amazing local branch of our AFGE union just published a list of CDC employees by job series who were fired in April. 59% did scientific work. See link for full list of affected jobs www.afge2883ga.org/afge-2883-on...

I really enjoyed this block of TV.

I mean, we live in a bizarre fantasy world of his own making anyway, so ...

The Trump administration has so far frozen about $11 billion in research funding. University leaders say no other source can fill the void.

The next president has to do two things: 1) right the wrongs of Trump and go after those who broke the law and were corrupt. 2). Then spend time divesting power from the presidency and building real guardrails and passing laws like, “the president is not immune” etc. And get the money out

“There was nothing vague in the gesture he made toward the January 6 attackers. In that brief moment, Josh Hawley’s true character was revealed.” adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/josh-hawle...

🛑 Breaking: A judge blocked HHS from cutting $11B in vital public health funding to states. HHS called it “COVID-era” funding and said it wasn’t needed, but those funds support vaccines, data modernization, and critical health services. Likely headed to the Supreme Court. We’re watching closely.

More stuff the fossil fuel polluters don’t want you to know about their trail of wreckage.

No one has ever disgraced the USA more while speaking in foreign countries than Donald Trump.

The story is not about Taylor Swift or Bruce Springsteen. The story is about Trump’s mental health.

Good sign. Do it in a sequence of transfers to build pressure; say, $20 billion a month to Ukraine. That might get the gangster showing up at meetings.

There’s no creepier stooge of the creepy billionaires. He’s been living off their dark-money groups for years. With counsel Mark Paoletta (of Leonard Leo/Harlan Crow/Clarence Thomas painting fame) they’re destroying democracy from within.

Quick takes from Tom Farley on the HHS massacre.

Thank you to Rep. Jasmine Crockett for the pep talk we all needed the other night! Turns out being your loud, real (and slightly chaotic) self is actually a superpower. Your voice already matters, so go ahead and use it!

RFK Jr. says there are no autistic poets, so we interviewed one. Hear from Elizabeth McClellan, @popelizbet.bsky.social, an award-winning poet, attorney, and legal educator based in Memphis, Tennessee.

AEP Ohio & Toledo Edison missed targets last year for getting customers’ power back on when it goes out. 2024 was the 9th year in a row at least one Ohio utility missed reliability requirements. And current metrics don’t tell the full story, say advocates. www.canarymedia.com/articles/uti...

38 of the 43. "38 of 43 experts cut last month from boards that review science and research in NIH laboratories are female, Black or Hispanic. "The scientists typically serve five-year terms and were not given a reason for their dismissal..." www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...

“Less medical research, a pull-back on life-saving vaccines, turning away from science and embracing folk medicine. Make America Healthy Again. Again. Meaning: America used to be ‘healthy’ and now is not. This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard.” open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Did you know that before the Dept of Ed was created, only 1 of every 5 kids with disabilities received a public education. So when people ask why do we need a Dept of Ed, you can tell them it ensures ALL children have access to education. Learn more on this week's podcast: pod.redwine.blue/OBW

For anyone who grew up in the South during the Civil Rights era, You’ll remember the “Impeach Earl Warren" billboards put up by racist groups after the Brown vs. Board of Education desegregation ruling. That Elon Musk and Donald Trump are now following in their footsteps makes perfect sense.

There is zero basis to impeach a federal judge who rules against Donald Trump’s unconstitutional and unlawful actions. We will not let it happen.

Who’s really footing the bill for Republicans’ massive billionaire and corporate tax cut?

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

The corporations and billionaires who run them are taking over our government. Five major financial institutions were all under federal investigation for fraud. All five cases were just dropped by Trump and Musk. It's now legal to cheat consumers. www.npr.org/2025/02/27/n...

Seriously America, what the actual fuck has happened to you?
