I refuse to support a funding bill that fails to address the Republican health care crisis.
And make health insurance affordable.
The American people clearly understand the stakes and the urgency. We must too.
I'm voting no.

So to cap their horrible week, Senate Republicans refused a deal to reopen the government in exchange for just helping people with health insurance and now the president wants the Supreme Court to say he doesn’t have to obey the law and feed the hungry.
Amazing.

It's pretty incredible; Trump does an emergency appeal to the Supreme Court so that he doesn't have to follow a court order to pay food stamps. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/11... I guess he considers it an emergency that some people might get food.

I put off doing the inevitable…I called my insurance provider.
My current premium is $480. It will be almost $900 next year.
Thanks, Trump voters.

Retired couple (teacher & union carpenter) on ACA premiums skyrocketing — from $443/month to $2,224/month: “It's like buying another house and trying to pay for two houses at the same time… without the subsidy we honestly don’t know what we’re gonna do.” #TrumpShutdown

Why is it that every disappeared US citizen is not front page news? At the very least we should have a little box with a count of the number of citizens who have been taken away and are not locatable and a link to a story with photos & min-bios, just as we used to do with military casually figures.
In Portland, Oregon, masked ICE GOONS abducted and vanished US citizen Gonzalo Catalan last week. Tragically, his family remains unaware of his whereabouts and has not received any communication from him as of today.

Agree this is a must read. It's also a gut punch:
"I was the editor of Governing, a magazine & website covering state & local governments. But after facing increasing internal censorship pressures — largely to avoid critical coverage of President Donald Trump — I refused to go along, & I resigned.

A must-read on the silent censorship taking place in the US press.
So much of this is going on in American newsrooms right now, and not just to kowtow to Trump.
Example: Consider how little is being written about the extreme radicalization of Silicon Valley.

And surely all those *investors* will get itemized receipts to make sure he didn’t just pocket most of it too right?
No wonder taxpayers aren’t paying — less transparency/criming this way

Maybe this is obvious to everyone but…why does the White House need a ballroom? It has enough space for state dinners, no? Is this for dances? Weddings? Storing classified documents?
