I'm looking to interview chronically ill/disabled contractors on your concerns about private health insurance spiking for a @motherjones.com piece. Please email jmetraux@motherjones.com.

Especially looking to chat about how being a contractor too may be more accessible.

I can't imagine why we should believe him.
Seriously, it's like these Senators have never met these GOP liars before.

I am proud that my legal team and I are leading the fight in this case against the Republican Party’s effort to throw out lawful ballots. Everyone needs to recognize this as the next step in the GOP plan to ban mail-in voting entirely and to eventually target early voting as well.

I've been an Angus King fan for a long time. Time for him to go home

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:

SOLICITOR GENERAL SAUER, last week: “.. They are not revenue-raising tariffs.” 🤡

James Comer is a multimillionaire who will have health insurance for life.

I was a noncustodial mom for nearly 10 years. My sons lived in another state so we alternated holidays every year.

We had Thanksgiving in February and made it fun.
We had July 4th with sparklers whenever we wanted.

Worrying about being there for "The Day" is much less important than being together

Marty Makary thinks that menopause kills women and shortens their lifespan, except women live longer than men

You can tell that Senate Democrats know they made an awesome deal because they sprang it on us on a Sunday afternoon and then raced it through that same night.

Hi
Sorry I can't follow accounts that don't post for themselves.

You will have missed open enrollment for this year. How to help those folks?

What’s the worst that can happen? #healthcare

In case you missed this.

Thanks, Barb.

She looks pleasant and welcoming.

A lot of people DO need to see this. This is the NEW maga tainted Christian.

Italian Pasta Is Poised to Disappear From American Grocery Shelves The Trump administration is set to impose duties of 107% on Italian pasta imports, among most punitive of the tariffs it has levied.

A social experiment that was performed by Nikalie Monroe (on TikTok) has been getting heard.

She called local churches, a mosque (who said yes A.SA.P.) to see if they would help feed a hungry baby. The answers, if anything, we're shocking!

Most said no; 8 said yes (or of ~30).

The centrists in the Senate Democratic caucus saw that the country was rallying to the party in the 2025 elections and resolved that they would do anything they could to kill that momentum.

I’ve only posted one GFM, and it’s my intention never to post another. But this one is close to my heart. I know the family personally and have visited with them countless times. If you can help out, it would be great. If not, I completely understand - but a retweet is free.

Dick Durbin’s DC Office line doesn’t even leave an option to leave a voicemail. He doesn’t care what the folks that pay his check think. That’s nutty. If he were my senator, I’d be making a stink about that. Just saying 🤷🏻‍♀️

Self-righteous wankery from the Independent newspaper about how reading in public is supposedly a performative act. Philistines are everywhere!

I've been reading in public all my life purely for the pleasure of reading and long before The Independent existed... they can fuck off with this kind of pearl-clutching, mocking, attempt to make me feel bad about it.

Yeah, this is obnoxious. I far prefer men who read over men who performatively malign others.

Two things here. First, I know a lot of people want to excuse Dems on this deal. When a Senator is telling you they got rolled and lost on this, you can probably let that go now. Two, that Murphy is even saying this publicly pretty much tells you Schumer has lost the caucus.
