The ACA was cool because before the ACA you could hit your lifetime maximum before you were a month old and be denied insurance for the rest of your life and after the ACA that’s illegal.

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act. With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

Tonight an unbelievable 34,000 people gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

The foreign aid cuts left partially-excavated, exposed pits of dioxin, a poison, left by the American military. Now, rainy season is coming & hundreds of thousands of people live right around the base. Worse, less than 1,500 ft away is a major river that flows into Ho Chi Minh City, pop. 9 million.

Son: Are we better off now? Dad: Well son, mom & dad have both lost their jobs. Our savings are gone, gas & grocery prices are up. We did, however, save you from drag queen story time. Son: What's that? Dad: A mythical thing they said was happening in your school, which we can't afford anymore.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

Elon Musk has been condemned for sharing lies about the global response to the Sweden school massacre. Rickard Andersson, a 35-year-old recluse, has been named in Swedish media as the suspected gunman who killed 10 people at Risbergska School in Örebro, before turning the gun on himself.

So there was not a single word on the criminal who did the mass shooting in Sweden. I was wondering why. it turned out it wasnt Mohammed, but Rickard Andersson, a 35-year-old unemployed. And the 10 he murdered were mainly immigrants learning Swedish at the school for adult learning

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period. I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt. But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

It will not shock you to learn that MAGA influencers have been spreading the lie that the pilot of the Blackhawk helicopter that collided with the American Airlines flight was a trans woman. Jo Ellis, the trans woman they have accused of being the pilot, had to film a video to prove it wasn’t her.
