For a 60-year-old couple with an income of $80,000, premiums would skyrocket by $17,500.

Who has 22% of their income lying around?

This is not normal. But #Trump and #MAGA Republicans are pretending like it is.

We cannot have a successful democracy without successful leadership.

I declare my leadership to be for Gavin Newson for President of the United States of America and for James Miley to be the leader of the USA Armed forces.

"RFKJr is trying to eliminate the agency responsible for supporting states & localities w/ overdose prevention," says Dr. Eric Rafla-Yuan.

The doctors are also concerned about his attacks on psychiatric medications.

Let's not forget that he's a fan of viruses, too.

Humanism celebrates the richness of human experience in all its forms. When we ban books, we silence marginalized voices and deny people the chance to build empathy and understanding. SHL will fight book bans and encourage others to learn the from the lessons they teach us.

Those who claim to be Christian seem to be facing a cross roads. You cannot believe that Jesus Christ himself would be on the side of the masked thugs of ICE.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Had I been Rep. Bonamici, I would have urged her "concerned" (but cowardly) colleagues to reclaim their power and their patriotism by uniting, and threaten to resign en masse rather to continue to allow this march to tyranny.

Rhuta Bhayga @rhutabhayga.bsky.social · 19h

Rep. Bonamici (OR) reveals that many Rs are just as horrified and outraged at the corruption, flagrant disregard for the Constitution, illegality, damage to their own constituents and global dangers, but are too afraid of retribution from this vengeful Reich to stand up to it.

If Trump was the most transparent POTUS in US history as Pam Bondi claims, he wouldn't have thrown out the practice of WH visitor logs

He would have released his tax returns & Melania's immigration records

He'd put his business holdings in a blind trust

AND he would #ReleaseAllTheEpsteinFiles
