Our ACA insurance will go from $125 a month to $1049 a month in 2026. Bronze plan with PPO.

The $125 covers two of us. The $1049 will cover only one of us. We recently retired. I go on Medicare later this year. Husband stays on ACA until he turns 65 next year. Unbelievable!

Democracy is not freedom, it is a tool, and its virtue depends on who wields it. It can defend or destroy, uplift or oppress; it carries no guarantee of liberty or equality. It is up to us not only to uphold a just democracy, but to fight for it and defend it against corruption and injustice.

While others are quoting the Declaration of Independence, I will share these words from John Adams, written in 1814 and kept in the National Archives.😒

While America slept, Republicans voted to advance a bill that will cause the largest:

β€’ loss of health insurance in history
β€’ cut to food assistance in history
β€’ hike in college costs in history
β€’ spike in utility bills in history

All to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy.

Cutting Medicaid means costs are shifted to providers. When patients lose coverage, they turn to ERs for care they can’t afford. Hospitals eat the cost, pass it on to insurers, and your premiums go up.

Medicaid cuts mean a worse health care system for EVERYONE.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, dissenting in 6-3 SCOTUS birthright citizenship case: "It is not difficult to predict how this all ends. Eventually, executive power will become completely uncontainable, and our beloved constitutional Republic will be no more."

Red states won’t suffer. The students & teachers will. One in five K-12 students has a disability that requires an IEP or 504 plan. Will red states begin footing the bill to educate their blind, deaf or dyslexic students? What about students in Title 1? Red state lawmakers ignore these kids.

"I spent past year and a half with The Lincoln Project... There, I learned some of the hard-line messaging tactics R's have used for decades to defeat Dems. R's know how to define opponents early, sharply, and relentlesslyβ€”exactly what Dems need to do."
