22% is my increase in Virginia.
Up to $721 a month.
Single beneficiary. Over 50.
Zero changes to my gold plan benefits.
I did not previously receive subsidies.

This is what happens when our health care system is profit based.
Starting today, around 22 million Americans enrolled in Obamacare will see their tax credits run out.

The average recipient will likely see their premiums more than double in 2026.

Certain people — including residents of many states that voted for Trump — will be more exposed to a subsidy lapse.
ACA subsidies are expiring. Here’s who the lapse will hit hardest
Early retirees, mid-income consumers, small business owners and residents of states won by President Trump are among those who'd be affected most.

Wild — as the community note says, Trump’s DOJ released a publicly available pic of MJ & Clinton & Diana Ross with their own kids and implied it’s them with victims

First. It can't be renamed without congressional approval.

Second. I'm glad I let my membership lapse and if this stands I will never step foot in that building again.

Third. This is really rich considering he is destroying the arts.
Breaking news: The board of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts has voted to rename the storied arts institution the “Trump-Kennedy Center,” according to White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.

There's only one thing I want for Christmas. It will not only be good for me, it will be good for the country & arguably, the world.

Can you guess?

Do I have an outfit picked out? Yup.

Will I yell outside with joy? You betcha.

Will it be the end of a nightmare? Not by a longshot. Get to work.

Every Dem running for office in 2026 needs to be bold in their campaign promises. Shoot for the stars.
We don't want kumbaya BS. We want accountability for the illegality of the current administration. We also want restoration & protection for everything destroyed without congressional approval.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

I’ve spent a lot of the last three years investigating the rise of anti-trans politics. Often, it came back to the controversy over trans women athletes.

So I teamed up with @pablo.show to look into the leading figure on the issue: Riley Gaines.

The swimmer tied a trans woman for fifth. The MAGA industrial complex took care of the rest.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

The Senate just went into recess until 6:00 p.m. Call your senator's offices now!

This is bullshit. GOP is not trustworthy. Promises for a vote later? Eff that. The American people need the ACA subsidies renewed NOW. The GOP is in full control. Let them nuke the filibuster.

@markwarner.bsky.social and @kaine.senate.gov for the love of all Virginians, hold the line!
Senate Democrats asked for a year of ACA subsidies and were told to fuck off.

So they came back and asked for a pinky promise to hold a vote on ACA subsidies that they will assuredly lose?

Seriously?
From what I have seen so far this does not seem like a good deal:
