The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

90 days. That's how long we have until close to 20 million households get notices that their health insurance is going up, way up, by an average of more than 75%.
Even those without ACA subsidies will see the raw cost of insurance up around 15%.
Expect a 4-alarm fire this fall. From me:
Countdown Clock Begins for Giant Health Insurance Premium Increases
In around 90 days, millions of Americans will learn about out-of-pocket cost hikes of more than 75 percent on average.

I was just referencing this meme to my husband earlier this week
7 years later and I still whisper, “We’re disabled, Daniel, not werewolves” to myself like a sacred mantra whenever I see a non-disabled person discover ableism like it’s the latest hipster indie band.

RFK Jr. just fired thousands of federal workers at crucial health agencies, including the FDA, CDC, and NIH.

These are the people who inspect our food, track infectious diseases, and research life-saving treatments and cures.

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.
