This Election Day may seem unimportant because there are no “big” offices on the ballot but many states hold their nonpartisan municipal elections in off years. Races for city council, school boards, county judgeships are VITALLY important to the day to day functions of your community! Participate!

If ACA healthcare subsidies are not extended, a 60-year-old earning $65k in Key West, Fla. could see premiums go from $460 a month with the subsidies to $2,400 a month without.

Maps show how expected increases in monthly premiums vary by age and geography.

Thank you Dr. Houry for calling a spade a spade. RFK Jr. is leading a hostile takeover of the CDC. ~80% of experienced leaders gone, science sidelined. The health of all Americans is on the line. #FireRFKJ #SaveTheCDC

Anastasiia Hrytsiv and her family were killed by the Russian strike on Lviv region last night.

Anastasiia's school wrote about her death.

She had her life ahead of her, but Russia's damned war against Ukraine took the lives of the whole family.

Deepest condolences...

Now that Tom Homan is border czar, his former business associate Charles Sowell is continuing to work with companies actively seeking to land a chunk of the $45 billion Congress approved to spend on immigration detention.

➡️ Read the full story: https://propub.li/3IusbGP
Article excerpt: After Trump won and formally announced Homan would be returning with him to the White House, Sowell kept Homan on his payroll until the end of the year. Once named as the border czar, Homan said he would recuse himself from contracting, saying he would have no “involvement, discussion, input, or decision of any future government contracts.” But several industry executives who spoke with ProPublica said at least half a dozen companies vying for a slice of the $45 billion Congress has allocated for immigration detention work had hired Sowell because he had led them to believe his connections to Homan would help their chances of winning government work. Homan's business relationships are under greater scrutiny after MSNBC reported an FBI sting that allegedly caught him on tape accepting $50,000 in cash from undercover agents posing as would-be government contractors before he took the border czar post. His relationship with Sowell raises fresh questions about the integrity of the billion-dollar contracting process for immigration enforcement, ethics experts say.

Say NO to Trump’s loyalty oaths and extortion of our universities!

We will NOT throw our students, faculty, and staff under the bus to comply with undemocratic and partisan ideological agendas.

This is why I'm not putting much stock in the ADP estimate of employment growth.

Historically it has not been a very informative indicator of month-to-month changes.

Do not be desensitized
Do not think we'll just fix this in the 2026 midterms or 2028.
We may not get to have 2026 midterms.
We may not get to have 2028 elections.
Not free and fair ones.

I know we're desensitized, but it's important to note, again, that today's events would have led to the immediate impeachment & removal of any president from at least Truman to at least Obama. We're hundreds of miles on the interstate past Richard Nixon's high school prank-level crimes compared to 👇

Trump wraps up a speech to military leaders that represented a major escalation of his effort to weaponize the armed forces into a tool he can use to violently quash domestic dissent. Hard to imagine how anyone with a shred of dignity can keep serving after this, which of course is the point.
