How can 78% of Americans want the ACA tax credits extended, but only 27% approve of Dems handling of the shutdown? Could it be the way pollsters ask questions? Is it propaganda? A corporate media issue? A messaging problem?

They poisoned the well of our democracy with gerrymandering. We can't win by pretending the water is still pure. It's time to stop drinking their poison and seize control of the well itself. Prop 50 is how we begin to purify the system. Vote YES on Prop 50!

Changing the name of the Department of Defense will cost billions.We could build units for all unhoused veterans. Or give service members a pay raise so 35K active duty members wouldn’t have to rely on food stamps. Or… or… or…

open.substack.com/pub/contrari... If someone who witnessed what Lewis had, someone who had risked his life repeatedly, could maintain faith in a multi-generational, multi-ethnic pro-democracy coalition, what right do any of us have to throw up our hands in frustration and walk away from the fight?

John Lewis’s Enduring Example

We have no right to give up on democracy or our fellow Americans

REPORTER: Did the attorney general tell you that your name appeared in the Epstein files?

TRUMP: No no. She's given us just a very quick briefing. These files were made up by Comey, Obama, they were made up by the Biden-- we went through years of that with the Russia Russia Russia hoax

Congrats to Lisa Murkowski on voting for a bill that she herself admitted was not ready in hopes that the House would change it. Now it’ll become law. She had the power to stop it, and instead chose to become complicit. That’s her legacy.

Hot take: Not only are work requirements for Medicaid bad, tying health care to work at all is cruel and we should be doing it less not more.

Everyone deserves health care. Everyone.

Expect major cuts to healthcare, clean energy, student aid - all to fund massive tax cuts for billionaires.
❌ Millions would lose healthcare.
❌ Kids would go hungry.
❌ Families would struggle to pay for rent, utilities, and medicine.

This has always been the GOP's strategy:

1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.

2) Explode deficits

3) Use the debt as an excuse to demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.

4) Repeat.
