This Must Be Thursday

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to buy, own, and sell individual stocks. Period. Let's make Congressional stock trading illegal.

Imagine escaping the literal Nazis, making it to America, living three quarters of a century there making your life, and then this:

Next year, Americans will see the biggest jump in health insurance costs in 15 years.

Meanwhile, the seven largest health insurance companies made a combined $71B in profits in 2024.

It’s far past time for Medicare for All. Here’s what you need to know.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

I mean, why have editors? Why have fact-checking? Do we really need legitimate, trustworthy sources? Why do J-Schools even exist? Meh. 😡

And…you didn’t listen to her? Ok, sure.

Yup.

Unfortunately still true bsky.app/profile/adam...

Ridiculous. Why does she think they have to come to the table now? She literally gave away the leverage. Ugh. She keeps disappointing.

Gross and shameless.

Same. They consistently disappoint.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Senate is back in session today.

1/ So a quick 🧵on where things are at on the shutdown.

You get a lot of propaganda and spin thrown at you, so I want to give you the real, behind-the-scenes tea.

Trump boosts Argentina's Milei with $20 billion lifeline as US buys pesos The U.S. Treasury's action made good on Trump's pledge to prop up the wobbling country and sent the peso and Argentine dollar bonds sharply higher.

"Trump boosts Argentina's Milei with $20 billion lifeline" American farmers are suffering but Trump just gave $20 billion to bail our Argentina!! This is outrageous BS! www.reuters.com/world/americ...

Lol.

This is due to a law signed by Ronald Reagan and has nothing to do with this shutdown fight.

But consider this...

Emergency Medicaid spending in 2023 cost $3.8 billion — just 0.4% of total Medicaid spending.

Now what about the $20 billion taxpayers are giving to Argentina?

🤮

Facts.

Facts.

The US is going to bailout Argentina with your tariff money.

Let that sink in

Of the 24 million people cutting the ACA tax credit would hurt, 19 million live in red states where the ACA exchanges are often the largest insurer. Many would see their premiums triple overnight.

Democrats are the only people in government fighting for Trump's voters. It's just that simple.

Priorities.

Can we continue to have more pushback to lies…please?

Exactly.

Sure. Left wing terrorism is at an all time high, going from 3% of domestic terror fatalities to 4%. Right wing terrorism on the other hand has dipped to an all time low of 95%

So technically, yeah.

Ah, so it's a miniature Nuremberg rally.
