What Does It Mean to Be in an “Affordability Crisis”? Democrats are running on fixing it. Trump is running from it. But what does this year’s political buzzword really mean?

Escalating expenses come atop well-documented price increases in basic household needs like groceries and gas. With affordability, Democrats could hit Trump with the same attacks he used against Biden last year.

And cross the country, Democratic candidates are doing precisely that. trib.al/O7aordc

Just seen an article on BBC Sport suggesting that Trump's FIFA peace prize award may have been in someway corrupt. And I am shocked to my core.

We have a broken healthcare system that must be fixed, but the solution in the short-term isn't to deny people the ACA tax credits that they rely on.

We must extend the subsidies so people aren't kicked off their healthcare next month, *and* we need Medicare for All.

In 22 days, 22 million Americans will lose their ability to afford care.

For 15 years, House Republicans have been undercutting the ACA.

But @housedemocrats.bsky.social have a plan.

We just need 4 Republicans to join us to extend the credits and save health care for millions.

ACA tax credits keep health care costs down for millions—but they'll expire at the end of the year unless Republicans act.

Every House Democrat signed a discharge petition to extend them and stop premiums from skyrocketing. If just four Republicans join us, the House would vote.

This week, the Senate will vote on Democrats' clean, three-year extension of the ACA tax credits.

Republicans have a choice: stop health insurance premiums from skyrocketing or abandon their constituents.

Opinion | I was a red state governor. What I saw at Harvard surprised me. The spirit of association remains alive in unexpected places.

Column worth reading, by former two-term GOP governor who discovers that Harvard is not the hellscape of intolerance and group-think that the MAGA and its media are constantly telling him about.

(Think of parallels in so many other realms.)

It’s interesting that in January and February, folks loved Jasmine Crockett. And used her as the example of what they wanted Hakeem Jeffries to be, or Kamala Harris to be, etc. But now that Crockett is running for Senate, suddenly those same folks are singing a different tune. 🤔

If ya'll didn't have a problem with Beto O'Rourke running for senate and losing, then running for governor and losing, then contemplating yet ANOTHER run for senate earlier this year, then ya'll can shut the fuck up about Jasmine Crockett taking her shot at it.

I will be watching all the immigrants and Latino that voted for Trump in the last election" Will they throw their support behind Jasmine Crockett a Black woman? Will the far-left go all out for her like they did for Mendani? We will be watching.... The primary is in March 2026

I’m confused

Is Duffy suggesting we’re supposed to work out in the fine clothing he now wants us all to wear to the airport

I need to know why the Secretary of HHS is doing at a presser about TSA? And I guess Duffy has never heard of family restrooms for nursing, or that parents with children under 12 have separate security lanes. People are too broke to fly, so this is moot anyway…

Trump never faced legal charges for his #1 role in the Jan 6th insurrection to overturn the vote certification. Got off scot free. The SCOTUS, instead, found it fit to reward him with immunity powers no other president has ever had. Now, the right-wing "justices" want to give him even more.

If SCOTUS tears down the 14th Amendment, there can be no moderate position for ANY Democrat. If they tear it down the Constitution of the United States, SCOTUS should be deemed lawless and the Democrats must go to war with lawlessness.

We don't need massive SCOTUS reform in the abstract. Fixed terms, some small things. But the problem isn't the Court. It's the justices. These six people are so bad, such enemies of the Constitution, they must be removed or otherwise disempowered even if it means things I'd generally rather not do.
