These private insurers sacrifice patient outcomes for corporate profit.
Along with @jayapal.house.gov, @delauro.house.gov, & @doggett.house.gov, I’m leading 74 members in calling on the administration to reform Medicare DisAdvantage.

Seeing Rumeysa Ozturk snatched off the street by masked thugs evoked the actions of so many tyrannies: The Basij is Iran, Mukhabarat in Egypt or Syria, Mano Blanca in Guatemala & El Salvador, FRAPH in Haiti. They're practicing on foreigners, they'll move onto citizens soon enough.

Little Marco up there defending the New SS. @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov y'all voted to confirm this ghoul why, exactly?!
Marco Rubio on Rumeysa Ozturk: "We revoked her visa ... once you've lost your visa, you're no longer legally in the United States ... if you come into the US as a visitor and create a ruckus for us, we don't want it. We don't want it in our country. Go back and do it in your country."

anyway calling these "war plans" when they were actually plans to blow up an apartment building full of civilians because the girlfriend of a guy we don't like lived there sounds more like "terrorism plans" or perhaps even more accurately "terrorism factory creation plans"

I was thinking the same thing! US out there just casually causing huge numbers of collateral casualties, no wonder they're backing Israel's reckless genocide
Not to be a wide-eyed naïf about such things but... am I right in thinking that they levelled an entire building to get to one guy and *that* is not controversial to anyone in the American media or political class, only that this information was recklessly shared in an unsecured chat?

Happening now: outside the IL State Board of Investments meeting in downtown Chicago, activists are rallying against ISBI Treasurer & Vice Chair Michael Frerichs.
Frerichs is responsible for increasing the state's investment portfolio in war weapons manufacturers like Boeing and Lockheed Martin.

Right on, Senator!
I refuse to vote for Republicans’ slush fund bill that grants Trump and Elon Musk permission to continue rigging our government and our economy against the middle class.
It would greenlight even more chaos and more cuts to critical programs.
Hell no, I cannot support that.

Any time you see an article frame something as "took action against transgender sports," do more digging.
75% of the time, whatever they are talking about also bans trans people from bathrooms/medical care/targets trans adults.
Sports is just a way to frame it as morally acceptable.

Why is everyone focusing on the trans sports stuff in the Gavin Newsom Charlie Kirk interview and not the part where he's mad about the Dems supporting trans prisoners getting healthcare or appearing to back Kirk on a full ban on trans youth healthcare????
