My new OpEd in MSNBC Daily is up today. ✍🏾This issue is personal to me because I spent years caring for patients who would have been left without options if ACA subsidies fell through.

I hope this piece helps make the stakes clear.

Opinion | Congress needs to extend Affordable Care Act subsidies now
As an emergency physician, I have cared for marginalized patients who came into public hospitals after delaying care because they had nowhere else to turn.

Most Americans agree we need to get money out of politics. If that takes a constitutional amendment, then that's what we have to do. And if that's going to take years, then it's all the more reason to begin pushing now.

This is odd, it looks like the DOJ skipped suing Texas entirely. The Justice Department is now suing California over the new congressional district boundaries that voters approved just last week, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Thursday in a post on X. Who are they going to sue, the voters?

The silver lining to the surrender by 8 Dems is that the House GOP must return to vote on it. Johnson must swear in Grijalva, and the discharge petition on the Epstein files must force a full floor vote. Stay tuned.

History has taught us that this is precisely when Donald Trump is most dangerous — and when Republicans turn to voter suppression, election subversion and worse. With the 2026 midterm elections less than a year away, Trump is already plotting his next moves.

Here’s what we all need to prepare for.

This is, unsurprisingly, nonsensical. Is he suggesting eliminating health insurance and giving people a few thousand dollars instead? And then when they get a cancer diagnosis they just go bankrupt?

He is so unserious. That's why we are shut down and Americans know it.

I'm here outside Speaker Johnson’s office because he is starving families and gutting health care to cover up the Epstein Files.
