Today in Politics Chat, I talked about how power sloshes around when a president is checked out, and noted that right now unelected officials like Stephen Miller are trying to grab it. But instead, We the People can take it back and create a better nation.

The GOP Speaker sent Congress home -
even though most Republicans want to keep ACA tax credits:

✅ 59% GOP
✅ 57% MAGA
✅ 70% non-MAGA

Rural + self-employed Americans rely on ACA coverage.

Republicans want affordable care.

Trump’s team doesn’t care.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

Booooo! Oscar Piastri contribute more Constructors Cup points and got short changed here!

Angela Levine @angelahlevine.bsky.social · 3d

Oscar is smart to not say too much. He’s a mature driver, and he knows what’s good or not good for his public image and career.

Angela Levine @angelahlevine.bsky.social · 3d

Yes!!!!!

Angela Levine @angelahlevine.bsky.social · 3d

Yes it sure feels that way. I’m Team #Piastri all the way and it’s so frustrating!

Angela Levine @angelahlevine.bsky.social · 3d

Yeah I hate that Oscar is being left out of this narrative.

Angela Levine @angelahlevine.bsky.social · 5d

How about if the media asks better questions? Seriously!

Angela Levine @angelahlevine.bsky.social · 5d

So full of it…..

While sometimes polarizing figures, they also give straight talk. If you can get a friend to listen to this, please do….and use it as a conversation starter. “I’m concerned about so many of us losing healthcare or not being able to afford it - how about you?”

This is the best messaging I’ve seen from any Democrats on the shutdown. Kudos to AOC, Bernie, and their teams for putting this out there.

Slashing Medicaid and allowing enhanced ACA tax credits to expire would raise insurance costs for households across income levels and threaten the financial stability of families nationwide.

Democrats are demanding that these subsidies not be allowed to expire. Republicans refuse to 1/

Thank you for calling out both the cruelty and hypocrisy.

Angela Levine @angelahlevine.bsky.social · 6d

The hypocrisy and the cruelty are equally disgusting. @jamestalarico.bsky.social and @petebuttigieg.bsky.social are two candidates who walk the walk. They are not just talk. And neither are afraid to speak the truth and share the faith that shaped their values. We need more of THIS right now.

James Talarico @jamestalarico.bsky.social · 6d

Jesus spent most of his time healing the sick.

Today, we have politicians in Congress with “Christ-follower” in their Twitter bios — but they’re trying to kick the sick off their healthcare.

And they’re willing to shut down the government to do it.

Powerful words from respected military troops who SERVED. Not ICE bullshit service.

Rieckhoff: A vet on CNN said we haven’t fought to win in 20 years. I said, I was fighting to win. You were fighting to win.

Kander: That shit pisses me off.

Rieckhoff: He said he meant the generals. Which one? It’s boogeymen—and now cosplay warriors who never served join ICE to bully immigrants.

Dean: The president is unhinged

Johnson: A lot of folks on your side are too. I don’t control him

Dean: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals.

Johnson: I didn’t see it.

Dean: Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing.
