Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act.

With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

@nytimes.com You had an opportunity and a responsibility to report accurately and fairly about a Trump administration and Project 2025 but you cared more about profits than journalism so here we are.

After claiming he doesn't know who Laura Loomer is and merely took a photo with her at a book event, Kash Patel is asked if he's familiar with Stew Peters, an antisemitic podcast host.

Patel: "Not off the top of my head."

Durbin: "You made eight separate appearances on his podcast..."

With over 2 million federal workers experiencing job insecurity because they’ve been put on notice by the new administration and millions more being threatened with deportation, I expect this spending to drop soon. We’re in crisis mode from here on out.

Senator Dick Durban to Kash Patel:

"With all due respect, Mr. Patel, I've not worn the uniform of this country and neither have you. To think that you would denigrate Bob Mueller's service to our country and call him a 'swamp creature' is an indication of the depths your political views take you."

Using the tragic plane collision over the Potomac that cost 67 human souls as an occasion to slam DEI hiring was obscene. There’s zero evidence at this point that an underqualified air traffic controller or pilot had any role in this crash.

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence.

He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials.

It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.

it is amazing that the "meritocracy" crowd will back up RFK Jr in spite of the fact he's not even qualified to get any job at the Department of Health and Human services. Not one. He is not qualified to do a single fucking thing.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.

Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.

But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.

They aren’t firing for a reason.

How many Americans must die before Amendment 25 can be enacted?

We can deal with Vance and/or Johnson if needed.

But this radical domestic terrorist -- Donald Trump -- must be removed from power ASAP.

That drunk rapist Pete Hegseth says he wants to put migrants being deported in Gitmo before sending them "back" to their country of origin. But we know that's expensive and Trump/Elon want to save money. Any guesses what happens to them next? #TrumpsFinalSolution

Laughable to have Pete Hegseth claim that DOD will be led by “best and brightest” when he is a drunk sex pest who ran two small vets groups into the ground

HE is the meritless hire
