If Congress doesn’t act quickly to permanently extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits, health insurance premiums will more than DOUBLE for 22 million people.

Fund the government.

When referring to people who are anti-Trump, don't fall into the trap of calling them "Antifa."

That is a loaded, mangled word. Call them what they are, "anti-fascists."

No one is covering the threats to democracy better than the 20-person team at Democracy Docket. No venture capital, no corporate overloads, no compromises. Just pro-democracy news, information and analysis.

Help support their efforts to hold power to account and keep you informed. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

Big WIN for the Great State of Texas!!! Everything Passed, on our way to FIVE more Congressional seats and saving your Rights, your Freedoms, and your Country, itself. Texas never lets us down. Florida, Indiana, and others are looking to do the same thing. More seats equals less Crime, a great Economy, and a STRONG SECOND AMENDMENT. It means Happiness and Peace. But Republicans, there is one thing even better - STOP MAIL-IN VOTING, a total fraud that has no bounds. Also, go to PAPER BALLOTS before it is too late - At one tenth the cost, faster, and more reliable. If we do these TWO things, we will pick up 100 more seats, and the CROOKED game of politics is over. God Bless America!!!

Trump says β€œpolitics is over” if Republicans gerrymander and ban mail voting before the midterms

If I got Russia to give up Moscow as part of the Deal, the Fake News, and their PARTNER, the Radical Left Democrats, would say I made a terrible mistake and a very bad deal. That’s why they are the FAKE NEWS! Also, they should talk about the 6 WARS, etc., I JUST STOPPED!!! MAGA

Musk didn’t invent anything. He didn’t even come up with Autopilot. He probably copied it from a Facebook group that laid out the foundations for it back in 2010 the SAAB 91 Petition and Support Group. His trans daughter Vivian said it, his company is a Ponzi scheme #elonmuskscam

Fragile white men afraid of women ,DEI, trans people, education, and vaccines have wiped people's futures and safety net out. And all the folks who want this whiteness who voted for Trump helped them.

A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.

As Israeli strikes killed dozens of civiliansβ€”including at least 14 childrenβ€”in Gaza today, 83 Senators voted to ignore U.S. law and unconditionally send Israel more American taxpayer-subsidized weapons.

Here are the 15 Senators who voted to uphold the law and stop Trump’s new arms sales to Israel:

Booker held a filibuster that wasn't a filibuster - and he scheduled it to let him avoid attending his own committee's probe of his Big Tech pals.

Oh and Booker and Dems provided unanimous consent to advance a Trump nominee right after Booker's speech.
