Q&A: Aaron Rupar | The Human DVR of American Democracy One of the most reposted political accounts online, yet somehow not the most hated. Holding Trump and MAGA to the light one clip at a time.

I got to chat with Aaron Rupar about his publication, his video clipping, and what it takes to document American politics in real time for the millions of people trying to keep up with the nonstop flood of news. One of the nicest guys in media. 👇🏼

Inaction on healthcare policy is a choice.
We don’t have to live this way.
Use your vote and your voice to force change.

And let’s be honest, it still won’t cover sh*t. It doesn’t cover the only prescription I take - 1 drug that covers both my autoimmune diseases. That’s another +$3000/month 🤬 But it works so my doctor holds back a sample every month so I can stay on it.

Just dropped $2,730 on health insurance for two people.
Great reminder that the problem isn’t “cost” — it’s priorities.
Illegal war? Fully funded.
Healthcare? Figure it out yourself.

When the government targets your community, you don’t wait for rescue, you become the resistance.

My friend Kate is running for Congress…as a Republican 🤯 not becuase she’s changed her values, but because in a #gerrymandered district the primary IS the real election. Follow along for the chaos. www.katebarrcanwin.com

In Late, Obscure Notice, DHS Turbocharges Trump’s Voter Purge Database, Evading Privacy Protections Read more here.

The DHS quietly implemented major changes to a federal immigration database originally created to check immigration status for those seeking public benefits. The database can now be used as a "voter verification" tool, making it easier to remove voters from the rolls.
