Moskowitz: We need $30 billion to extend, obviously, these healthcare subsidies, which allow Americans—Americans, not illegal—Americans, citizens, to afford healthcare.

And the president’s like, “We don’t have $30 billion, but I am going to send $40 billion to my dear friend in Argentina.”

@talsmith.bsky.social Since you're apparently not old enough to remember: One of the many reasons we enacted Obamacare is because insurance companies were routinely kicking women off their insurance coverage once they were diagnosed with breast cancer.

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024.

Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay.

The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year.

Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M

See the problem?

WTF happened in 2013...?

More guns than people…

Is it freedom or a national death cult that keeps growing?

Protesters stand and turn their backs to US Sen. Dan Sullivan during his address to the Alaska Federation of Natives conference.

Signs read: "Medicaid Matters" + "Public radio saves lives"

Sullivan does not acknowledge or stop speaking

MAGA wishes they could pull crowds like this. The only thing they’re good at is gathering around the Capitol. We outnumber them. We need to keep this momentum.

Can someone on a Sunday show interviewing a Republican member of Congress please play a damn montage of Trump, Vance and Hegseth making speeches to active duty military trashing Democrats and ask them if they think that is appropriate?

Dunleavy's plan for reducing state regulations has a target date of 15% reduction by December 31, 2026 and 25% by December 31, 2027.

Dunleavy's last day in office is December 7, 2026.

Whatever mess this creates, he'll be long gone to handle clean up. #akleg
