NO. Not "Medicare" for all. FREE and PUBLICLY Funded medical care for all. I am 69 years old. I paid into Medicare for 48 years. Now I have to pay 250 a month for my insurance, and also pay for medications, copays for visits, and I have a deductible. NO. Medicare for all is NOT the answer.

Thank you! Sometimes I struggle to find even a modicum of logic in the news......!

So what is he doing with all the "urging" Congress b.s.?

Question for you all: can't Trump just release the files on his own? What's with all the "urging Congress" stuff?

I thought Trump could just release them on his own? No?

At this point, what difference does it even make? Trump was a close personal friend of a child rapist. He did nothing to stop the rapes. At the very least, he's an accomplice. In a sane country, that would be enough to take him out of the White House.

Thank you for your focus on education!

There is STILL no Republican health care plan

Said the "transparency" administration

So it took our government 43 days to fund us for the next 85 days.
Yay?

Gah! Why do misogynistic men always think it gets down to "I like her"????? We. Don't. Care. And neither does she. You disrespected her. You ignored her. You prevented her from doing her job. How the hell would it matter that you "like" her????

I was an Sl/P in an elementary school for 13 years, then a classroom teacher for 11 more. We need to drop the idea that there is ONE WAY to teach reading. There is no secret, magic approach. Kids use phonetic, semantic, syntactic cues + personal experience to read. LET teachers teach!!!

I'm reminded one summer in Tunisia in 1973 when I was 17. Yes, women wore robes that covered themselves and hid their faces. Yes, it was an Islamic country. AND: the public bathrooms/showers at a few of the places we stayed were open to everyone. No gender separation. It was fine.

We have Medicare, not on the ACA. Our supplemental is increasing by 65%.

So...if the Senate votes to reopen, the House will HAVE to reconvene, so they will HAVE to seat the new member, Grijalva. So... RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!

We need better choices than the two corporately owned parties. We need more choices. We need more courageous choices. We need more honest choices. More moral choices. Something better than D or R.
We need more than this never ending ping-pong game.

Thanks for this explanation. It's still not right, if you ask me.

Yes! And they weird sound as if packing peanuts are being forced into your tooth!

I've had four. The first one was six weeks after I gave birth to my third child. I fell asleep during the procedure. I am not kidding.
You'll be fine!

I have a question.
Aren't members of Congress "Federal Employees"? Why are they still getting paid?
Anyone?

How is it legal for ICE to stop and arrest a US Citizen even if there IS a warrant out on him?

@cnn.com
Can someone PLEASE comment on the horrific way that Trump's lawyer speaks? Not only the chronic hoarseness (there's treatment for that!) but the crazy rate of speech. This retired speech/language pathologist honestly cannot listen to him. Thank God for subtitles.

We did the same! Then we sat around with ice on our shoulders and our feet up, congratulating ourselves on our wisdom. Good for you, Jim!

I can't watch the SC arguments because I'm a speech/language pathologist. Trump's lawyer not only has a horrifically hoarse voice, but he speaks at the freaking speed of light. Holy awful.
There isn't a single articulate lawyer in DC?

Whoah! Mamdani wins!!!
This Red Sox fan LOVES New York tonight!!

He is resonating because he says what ALL OF THE REGULAR FOLKS IN THE US are thinking. "We aren't worried about who uses which bathroom. We don't care if US manufacturers will earn more profits. We don't hate our immigrant neighbors. We want to feed our kids. We want education, healthcare and jobs."

God, we hope so!

Salem may be better! I am in North Central Mass, one of the coldest spots here. Come anyway! Salem is so much fun!

Gorgeous! Where is "here"?
Because in my part of Massachusetts, the trees are mostly bare now. sigh.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.
