I’ve been paid for not working but generally that was because I was in the process of being RIFed or Fired (same letters same result not a pleasant outcome).

WGN-TV’s Debbie Brockman was dragged to the ground, cuffed and bundled into a van - which then rammed her vehicle to escape.

That’s a hit and run leaving the scene of an incident. The video has the license plate. Didn’t leave any details. I wander if it was insured?

Marjorie Taylor Greene all of a sudden cares about the Affordable Care Act but not because she’s worried about her constituents it’s because her family members are going to be affected not getting tax subsidies. 🔄

I’m not sure that a dead democracy will be what they expect it to be. Ashes will be useless and zombies won’t be useful or safe.

Chris Murphy @chrismurphyct.bsky.social · 1d

Just bone chilling. And when the imprisonment of critics is combined with his offer to enrich and immunize his loyalists, this is how democracies die fast.

But it's still our choice. Don't let him silence you.

House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs Democrats @democrats-veterans.house.gov · 1d

Far too many veterans are set to lose coverage or face skyrocketing premiums. ACA plans are essential for many vets who don't live near a VA facility or don't qualify for VA care. If Congress doesn't take action to extend healthcare premium tax credits before year-end, these veterans will suffer.

I stand with Letitia James. Mark my words, he just picked a fight with the wrong lawyer.

This is what happens when a vindictive felon with unchecked power sits in the White House. It’s disgraceful, and every single person cheering it on will be remembered for standing on the wrong side of history.

Good for this woman
And I hope her and her family are ok

And fuck him for sitting there, shaking his head and acting like he cared about anything she said

Her husband is serving this country
They care about no one not children
Not Vet
Not women
