Democrats just swept the off-year elections -- and not just in blue states -- a resounding rejection of Republicans' authoritarian bullshit. It is an insult to Democratic voters, marketplace enrollees, and everyone who turned out on Tuesday for Schumer and Jeffries to cave.
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

First rule of Dunning-Kruger club, you dont know you're in Dunning-Kruger club
With a “WOW!,” President Trump posts a claim about DOGE and “royalties linked to Obamacare” that originated on a satirical website. That site’s own About section reads: “Everything on this website is fiction… If you believe that it is real, you should have your head examined.”

Something lost in the prices/affordability convo is that dismantling regulators shifts a financial burden onto consumers. They’re at much greater risk from various forms of fraud and less likely to comparison shop because of the likelihood that an unfamiliar product will be dangerous or defective

I’ve come to believe that we need to gather considerable forces and a campaign to demand the removal of face masks by ICE, Border Patrol, FBI and police.
It is a practice in conflict with the principles of transparency & accountability that are central to the concept of democracy.

Video on social media shows an immigration agent pulling a gun in Little Village and holding it to the side — which is not an appropriate or safe way to hold a gun. (Among other issues.)

Florida’s vote-by-mail rules have changed—and over 1.2 million Democrats are no longer signed up to get a ballot in 2026. These are some of our most reliable voters—and unless we reach them, many could be left behind. Your quick, helpful conversations will make a real difference.

Generative AI is ruining my motivation to teach. It is not a bold new era of information that I'm excited to see my students explore. It's a cheat that prevents them from thinking. It lets them avoid even a moment of confusion and struggle, necessary to process new ideas.

Checked out the old Smith homestead on east side of San Rafael Swell. There is either an unmapped fault to east (we had geological map) or there is a very thick Cedar Mt section capped by a large fossil lake. Another trip to investigate. @jlivelypaleo.bsky.social @utahpaleo-ufop.bsky.social

Remember DNC, it doesn't matter who you run, Fox news will call them a socialist. You could endorse the corpse of Ronald Reagan and their first segment would be "Extreme socialist Reagan picked by Soros to destroy America"
Stop caring what fox news says, and listen to your base. It clearly works.

And now Stefanik is running for NY governor. What new lies and smears will she invent? Stefanik is not a true believer – in anything – so she’ll get as dirty as she thinks she can get away with. She’s the perfect example of everything that’s wrong with Republican politics. 🧵 10/10
