Told ya so...we gave up, caved in, rolled over on our backs and now Republicans are demanding abortion restrictions in exchange for ACA subsidies. Weakness is what the GOP feed on. Democrats never learn.

Primarying Jeffries is good because for him to win that primary he needs to do more stuff like this.
Jeffries: "It's unbelievable that for 7 plus weeks Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva has been denied the ability to serve more than 800,000 people in Arizona because Republicans are running a pedophile protection program."

"Trump pardons loyalists who tried to overturn the 2020 election"

Read that again ...

The GOP ignored 14th Amendment Sec. 3 to hold him accountable for inciting insurrection, after he lost over 60 lawsuits to find election fraud. They will attempt it again.

“What is new is the confluence of three trends:

The sheer scale of wealth for the richest.

The untethering of compensation from performance.

The amount of harm these figures are willing to inflict on society.

All three are rising to a dangerously high tide.

It's a problem that Trump suddenly endorsed misguided 50-year mortgages.

The fact that an unqualified loyalist quietly persuaded him to support the idea during a brief chat at a golf club makes the problem significantly worse. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

I can't believe we're really going to let them reopen the government without promising to keep healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for millions.

These are the same people who just cut healthcare to give billionaires tax breaks.

The UK were flying surveillance flights over Gaza and sharing intelligence with Israel while they were committing genocide, so they must be VERY concerned by this.
