Well, Senator Thune, if you don’t trust the judgment of the HHS Secretary, why should the rest of us have to put up with him?

THUNE: These premiums are going up a little bit b/c of the expiration of the enhanced tax credits

VITALI: I think people hearing their premiums are doubling don't feel that it's a little bit

T: I'm just saying only a small part of that is attributable to the expiration of the enhanced tax credits

Don’t know who else needs to hear this but it would be good to have a strong showing of American Flags at the rallies on Saturday to combat the GOP talking points that it’s a “hate America” rally!!

Please repost and pass this on to as many as possible!!

Roberts has always felt that the suggestion that white people might discriminate on the basis of race is a profound moral injustice, much greater than black people being denied the right to vote bsky.app/profile/jayw...

Everything about John Roberts's approach to the Voting Rights Act makes sense when you remember that John Roberts has has always been hostile to the Voting Rights Act, never believed it was appropriate, and has spent most of his 45-year legal career working to hollow it out.

One of the Biggest Cases of the Supreme Court’s Term Is John Roberts’ Decadeslong Pet Project

New, creative thinking is needed to address the tech policy challenges of the coming decade, writes José Marichal. In an increasingly irrational environment, tech policymakers need to broaden their views of policymaking, moving away from pure rationality towards storytelling, he says.
