The current GOP lie is that theyโre going to replace Obamacare with something better.
Bullshit. In all of the majorities theyโve had since Obamacare passed, theyโve never once tried to replace it.
Theyโve tried to repeal it a whole bunch, but never actually make it better.

Redistricting should be done with the input of the people, not just the powerful.

SNAP is What Jesus Would Be Doing. That's Why MAGA Christians Are Trying to Kill It.
The sin of cruelty toward the hungry
Over and over, Jesus made it clear: food is not something people need to prove themselves worthy of.
This is not about humanity deserving to be fed but about the inhumanity of those withholding the meal.

I always find it interesting how the story changes when a lawyer gets to court. They can say anything they want outside of court without accountability but the rules are vastly different in court where you can get seriously penalized for lying.

We have a President who has taken every failed economic policy idea of the past 100 years, weaponized it and is calling it a success. We know what works and what doesn't. Lower tariffs create jobs, taxing the rich sends us to the Moon and back. We know how to grow a strong middle class in America.

The Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction programme and the book The Boundless Deep by Richard Holmes
Loved the Oscar Wilde quote read out at the start of Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction ceremony this evening:
โIf you cannot write well, you cannot think well; if you cannot think well, others will do your thinking for you.โ

Under the program, families, regardless of income, can receive state vouchers to cover public and private child care fees.
Now letโs do the nation. Free, universal child care is the proactive, pro-economy, pro-family vision we need for the future.
