What's the plan, Chuck? I run a fake news website. You're the Senate Minority Leader. What's the plan?

No Funding for ICE Surveillance Tech!

So the House is going to vote TOMORROW on the DHS funding bill that includes funding for ICE.

There's a real chance we can get Dems to vote NO on any bill with ICE funding to sink it.

Once it goes to the Senate we likely lose this chance.

24 hours. Go.

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long timeβ€”that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

Walz: "I couldn't help but think, and it scares me a bit -- 'The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most important directive.' It certainly feels like that in this moment."

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.

The American people don’t want to β€œrun” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

Senate rejects extension of health care subsidies as costs are set to rise for millions of Americans The Senate has rejected legislation to extend Affordable Care Act tax credits, essentially guaranteeing that millions of Americans will see a steep rise in costs at the beginning of the year.

I'm so tired. My patients are literally skipping tests & appointments every day because they can't afford them and our leaders consistently choose to do NOTHING for the people they represent.

Apparently we can afford everything but taking care of our fellow citizens

Not only is ICE snatching hard working people who are trying to earn a living, they’re taking their money too?

A witness recorded ICE agents taking a cash box from a taco stand in La Puente during an operation where four people were arrested.

1/ Our latest in-depth report reveals that the popular alternative to traditional Medicareβ€”Medicare Advantage (MA)β€”often fails Black, Hispanic, Asian, and other racial/ethnic minority communities. Keep reading to uncover our key findings:

A patient told me her holiday wish this year wasn’t a vacation or a new handbag β€” it was simply β€œI hope I don’t get sick.”
Her plan revelry doubled in cost, and she’s one stomach bug away from financial collapse.
No one should need luck to survive December.

Holiday wish list:
βœ”οΈ Warm home
βœ”οΈ Food on the table
βœ”οΈ Not losing health care because subsidies were slashed

Cuts to health care don’t happen in a vacuum β€” they happen to neighbors, parents, seniors & friends

Let’s fight for a season where everyone is covered

My patient recently handed me a stack of unopened mail: subsidy notices, network letters, appeals he didn’t know how to file

β€œTell me what to do, doc.”

It breaks me that so many expect doctors to also be their policy guide, caseworker, and safety net

People need coverage β€” not paperwork.

While people are stringing lights and planning travel, thousands are opening letters saying their Medicaid benefits are ending.
No one should get a cancellation notice instead of a holiday card.

We need policies that protect people, not paperwork that pushes them out.

"If you look at job growth between January and September ... for the past 15 years, it's only been worse once, and that was during the pandemic ... It is the worst first nine months for the labor market in 15 years."

The holidays hit especially hard when you’re rationing insulin, skipping checkups, or praying nothing goes wrong because your subsidy disappeared.
Attacks on healthcare feel abstract until they hit your own kitchen table.

Hollywood loves our trauma. Black actors are more likely to win awards when playing roles tied to slavery, servitude, or trauma.

Lupita Nyong’o opens up about what happened after her Oscar win. Hollywood kept offering her more parts as an enslaved woman, pushing the same stereotype again and again.
