Before ACA, many Americans couldn’t afford insurance
Alex Smith was a diabetic who got kicked off his Mom’s insurance at 26
He made 35k a year which was “too much” for Medicaid, but not nearly enough to cover insurance premiums
He had to ration his insulin & died a month after losing insurance

Insulin's High Cost Leads To Lethal Rationing
Alec Raeshawn Smith was 23 when diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and 26 when he died. He couldn't afford $1,300 per month for his insulin and other diabetes supplies, so he tried to stretch the doses.

We’re not going to “fix the Democrats’ brand” by doing TikToks or launching pods. The brand is a direct reflection of our elected officials. If we want to purge our weak branding, we have to purge the weak Dems. I’m looking forward to a robust primary cycle and new Democrats who know how to fight.

They literally handed over our health care so that the airlines didn’t have a bad holiday season.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

Maybe I’m late to this realization, but it just hit me…
What are the odds that Speaker Johnson calls the House back for a CR vote with the Epstein files still hanging over his head?
Those 8 Dems might have hung themselves out to dry and risked being primaried for nothing.

Elon is registered to vote in Texas. If you divided a trillion dollars evenly among the residents of Texas, every single person in the state would receive $31,959

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.
