Vance flies to Indiana to press for gerrymandering instead of trying to head off Affordable Care hits to 86,000 Indianans.

Colored-pencil political cartoon of the Statue of Liberty holding a lit torch while armed soldiers rappel down toward her face; someone in one of the two helicopters circling her speaks into a radio saying, “SHE’S ARMED WITH A TORCH! PROBABLY ANTIFA!!” The scene satirically critiques mischaracterization of the left-wing anti-fascist and anti-racist political movement antifa by the current pro-fascist government and the billionaire oligarchs behind it (Donald Trump, JD Vance, Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Steve Bannon, Marjorie Taylor Greene & co).

If a pharmaceutical company could mass produce whatever compassion pills Marjorie Taylor Greene seems to have been taking lately, we could save the world

So “antifa” is really “inflata” and is a bunch of people protesting in blow up costumes.

Tweet from Meidas_Charise Lee: “THIS IS THE COOLEST WAR ZONE EVER! Portland’s strategy… maybe if we act weird enough they’ll leave!”
Attached is a photo of people in colorful inflatable costumes dancing or moving playfully at night.

DEMAND THAT REPUBLICAN SENATORS PROTECT HEALTHCARE & END THE SHUTDOWN

With historic healthcare cuts and cost increases looming, Republicans chose to force a Trump Shutdown rather than address the healthcare crisis or rein in Trump’s lawless manipulation of federal funds...

Shapiro: I filed that amicus brief last night to make it very clear that the Pennsylvania National Guard is under my command.

The way the President has chosen to deploy the Guard in other states—and, in at least one case, deploy the Guard from one state into another—is extremely dangerous.

If you rename the Department of Defense the Department of War, then bomb fishing boats in the Caribbean, and shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper bullet, you should automatically be barred from receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for the rest of your life.

No family should have to choose between a doctor's visit or putting food on the table.

I'm fighting to protect health care tax credits to keep coverage up and costs down across the country.

Please make a distinction between health insurance and healthcare. They are not the same thing!

It would be far cheaper for the United States to expand Medicare to cover everyone.

Insurance is a middleman that decides whether you live or die.

Speaker Johnson said he won’t discuss the ACA until after the budget has passed.

Democrats need to be firm and if any are starting to waffle then the rest of the Democrats should sound them and get them to hold firm
