We now have a bipartisan majority of members of Congress demanding a vote to extend ACA tax credits and keep health care affordable for all Americans.
Speaker Johnson, bring this legislation to the House Floor immediately or step out of the way.

No other agency of the U.S. government has saved more lives per dollar than U.S.A.I.D.—it supplied medicine, food, and staffing for some of the most desperate and vulnerable. A new short documentary shows the impact of its dismantling. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/2a5Jm5

Politicians complicate things. But this whole issue of why the House has closed down for the past 5 months and why Adelita Grijalva isn’t sworn in yet likely isn’t complicated at all. The answer is likely pretty damn simple: Trump is most likely a pedophile, and Speaker Johnson knows it. That’s all.

“Trump was a confidential informant that helped take Epstein down”
“Releasing the Epstein files will destroy the Democrats”
Then why the fuck is Trump threatening to primary the Republicans who are trying to release them?

The new administrator of the E.P.A. is likely to reverse the long-standing federal position that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases endanger the public—a “truly and deeply disgraceful” form of basic science denial, Bill McKibben writes.
