There is NO reason why we shouldn’t be voting to extend the ACA health care credits TODAY. We are just days away from millions of Americans losing their health care coverage or facing crushing cost increases.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

40 men Trump sent to CECOT tell the NYT they were beaten, tortured, and sexually assaulted. The details are worse than you can imagine.
We can’t let them get away with this. Miller and the other architects of this sadism need to go to prison.

Sen. Ron Wyden is calling out the GOP for pushing to slip a nationwide backdoor abortion ban into the government funding bill. This is dangerous for women’s health care. We’ve already seen the consequences in states like TX, but I guess the GOP is intent on The Handmaid’s Tale.

The most stark example of the failure of free market capitalism is the fact that, in the richest country on earth, millions of people will literally starve without government intervention or charity.
The lines at food banks you see on the news? That's the system failing.

Rachel Maddow warns: if Republicans let ACA subsidies expire, millions will face massive premium spikes. A WV couple’s plan could jump from $300 to $4,700 a month. The #GOPHealthCareShutdown isn’t fiscal discipline—it’s a war on working families’ health and wallets.

I’m old enough to remember when there was a whole debate over whether police used tear gas as they cleared Lafayette Square and the surrounding area of protesters in DC on June 1, 2020 (they did).
Now DHS agents apparently toss varieties of tear gas all the time.

Just arrived on the scene at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in South Portland. Here less than 10 minutes when agents charged out of the facility and used a pale yellow gas that caused tears and coughing in crowd members. Also shot munitions at those retreating.
