These nurses deserve a fair contract that ensures patient safety, nurses’ rights, compensation for nurses injured by workplace violence, and the union's strength. I hope the hospital will avoid a strike by agreeing to a fair contract. www.wsna.org/news/2025/se... @wsna.bsky.social

Wow! The executive director of the ThriveWell Cancer Foundation warns: “People are not going to survive a totally survivable diagnosis because of the lack of insurance.” Congress and the president need to extend the ACA subsidies and fix healthcare. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...
Americans are buckling under medical bills. It could get worse.
Charities that help people pay for care say demand is way up. That’s before scheduled Medicaid and Obamacare cuts take effect.

Phang: It is a fundamental premise of the law that there is no requirement that a criminal defendant be forced to testify to explain away the government’s evidence. Hallagan went to law school and knows better, but she’s so stupid that she made that misstatement of the law to the grand jury.

I think Americans are realizing that democracy is a participation sport, and the the government is ours if we want it to be. I feel like we got complacent and hoped some other third party would do the work for us. Seems like we have to learn that lesson every generation.

A reminder - last March, republicans promised to restore $1.1B in funding to DC in exchange for funding the government, and Mike Johnson never took it up in the House.

I can’t believe they called prop 50 the moment polls closed. That tells you something. Most of these races were called within 45 minutes. It’s a BLOWOUT, y’all. THAT is what we call a MANDATE.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!
