In just the past year, electricity prices have jumped more than twice the rate of inflation—and this is only the beginning. The Trump administration should be protecting our wallets, not paying off his billionaire buddies.

CAP adds how the Trump administration is weakening pollution limits and stripping away clean energy incentives, causing over 400 fossil-fuel-fired power plants to run more and emit more cancer-causing pollution. www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

My colleague @nzmurphy.bsky.social explains how Republicans are holding the government and families’ health care hostage by refusing to extend the Affordable Care Act’s enhanced premium tax credits. And how they are misleading the public. ⬇️

Republicans claim Democrats want to give “free health care to illegal immigrants.” Let's set the record straight. Check out my latest for @msnbc.com tinyurl.com/5eb9k5du
Republicans are holding Americans' health care hostage — and lying about it
By refusing to extend premium tax credits, GOP leaders are using the shutdown fight to gamble the coverage of millions of Americans.

Here’s my article on how a government shutdown works.

Shutdowns are complicated, and each shutdown is different. Some things stay open. Some stay open for a bit and eventually close. Some close immediately.

I did my best to explain it all here:

Trump's deployment of masked federal agents into LA, DC, and Chicago is straight from the authoritarian playbook—just ask the people of Hong Kong and Venezuela.

NEW: Per multiple sources, HHS employees received a message 20 minutes ago saying that Trump opposes a gov shutdown. "Unfortunately, Democrats are blocking this Continuing Resolution in the US Senate due to unrelated policy demands."

One source called it "the most overtly political message" yet.

When hospitals merge under religious directives, patients can lose options. Our new @americanprogress.bsky.social report calls for stronger antitrust oversight.
Growing Market Power Among Catholic Hospitals Restrains Access to Reproductive Health Care
Stronger antitrust enforcement is necessary to prevent reduced access to reproductive health care, including abortion, birth control, and fertility treatments, while safeguarding market competition.

ACIP votes today on whether the pediatric vaccine schedule should be updated to reflect that the combined MMRV vaccine is not recommended for children < 4, reducing parental choice, posing barriers, & not based on new data. Such action would eliminate coverage by the Vaccines for Children program.
