Senate Dems, do not cave. Ensuring healthcare premiums don’t surge is an 80-20 issue. They want to gut the ACA because their disdain for Obama far outweighs their concern for anyone’s health.

Chad’s wife is a federal judge who was appointed by Trump and confirmed despite a Not Qualified rating from the ABA. She issued a nationwide block on Biden’s public transit mask mandate and also struck down a ban on guns in post offices. No complaints about activist judges from Chad then?

It would seem incumbent on the press, even just one national journalist, to ask the administration how, with all these trillions raised (18 trillion, according to Trump)
in tariffs, is there insufficient liquidity to fund SNAP, let alone pay for universal healthcare?

People are fed up with establishment US political parties, and rightfully so. This is what the GOP has wrought and the Dems have failed to address in a meaningful way. Lack of voter and civic engagement is damaging. This gaming the system requires that all of us prioritize fair voting laws.
A good overview of the ways that Republicans have anti-democratically seized power by gerrymandering congressional districts and putting anti-American revolutionaries on the Supreme Court (Roberts et al). Thanks @hcrichardson.bsky.social @davedaley.bsky.social
