Every House Democrat has signed a discharge petition to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits.
We only need a few House Republicans to join us and save health care for millions of Americans.

Affordable Care Act subsidies that help millions of Americans pay for health insurance will expire in less than a month.
Households will probably face spiking insurance costs next year if a bipartisan deal can’t be reached.

Health insurance costs could spike, as bipartisan ACA deal looks less likely
With a ticking clock and no clear bipartisan path forward, extending the Affordable Care Act subsidies is becoming more challenging.

UPDATE: Another Chicago-area church has put up an immigration-themed Nativity scene.
A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”

He’s rolling over for all the land grabbing dictators—Putin and Xi. What’s Trump got in HIS land grabbing list? Greenland minerals, Venezuelan oil?
U.S. President Donald Trump called Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi this week and advised her not to provoke Beijing on the question of Taiwan's sovereignty.
Trump told Takaichi to lower the volume on Taiwan, WSJ reports
The Journal reported that Trump's advice to Japan's prime minister was subtle, and he did not pressure Takaichi to walk back her comments.

Take pride in our fellow American, Sen. Mark Kelly, vigorously standing up for the Constitution and against a violence-inciting White House occupant who is failing to intimidate this good man and honorable public servant.
Mark Kelly: "My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head. Six people killed around her, a horrific thing. She spent six months in the hospital. We know what political violence is and we know what causes it too, The statements that Donald Trump made incites others."

3 infant #pertussis deaths this year in Kentucky. "Of the three infant deaths reported over the past 12 months, all three were not vaccinated, nor were their mothers."
We first tested maternal vaccination for whooping cough over 80 years ago. It's safe & effective & might have saved these babies.

This is amazing! Any state can get corporate money out of politics, it appears. The Montana plan.
NEW: In 2010, Citizens United opened the floodgates to political spending. Next year, a popular Montana ballot measure could render that ruling null in the state.

Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

Zeroes in on a crucial policy goal for whenever the Ds again take power
Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.
