We truly need *better* than Medicare for all, but it'd be at least a start and better than what we've got now.
We have a broken healthcare system that must be fixed, but the solution in the short-term isn't to deny people the ACA tax credits that they rely on.
We must extend the subsidies so people aren't kicked off their healthcare next month, *and* we need Medicare for All.

Unemployment is down, jobs and wages are up. We’re building big and empowering more Canadians with new careers.

I haven’t posted about this subject yet, but it is so deeply concerning & frightening that it’s almost overwhelming. It’s also getting such little attention in the media. For reasons unknown.
But the TL/DR of it? Basically, Canada is Ukraine to the Trump regime’s Russia. #cdnpoli #CdnNatSec

New in PN: Mike Johnson's downward spiral
"His speakership is a story of chaos and failure at a time when he and his party should be racking up wins. Apparently, the Lord played a trick on his humble servant: He may have given Johnson the job, but He didn’t say he’d be any good at it."
