This hits me so hard because it's what I'm doing for work at the moment

I'm licensed to help families sign up for or renew their ACA plans

These are people making ~50k or less for their households and facing sharp increases

There's -nothing- I can do to help them

Call them!! Please!!! If you are in New Hampshire call them and let them know that under NO circumstances will you EVER vote for them again if they sell out the ACA to appease Schumer and Trump!

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power.

The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever.

But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

Senate Dems, do not cave. Ensuring healthcare premiums donโ€™t surge is an 80-20 issue. They want to gut the ACA because their disdain for Obama far outweighs their concern for anyoneโ€™s health.

Justice KBJ is a brilliant strategist. She is working the rules to compel timely review of the stay in the SNAP case by both the Circuit Court and by the Supreme Court. This is why knowing which SCOTUS justice has supervision of the Circuit you file in is essential.

I need to emphasize what I say down-thread: this is a temporary, procedural move known as an administrative stay issued in haste by Justice Jackson.

Little to nothing should be read into this ruling for how SCOTUS might ultimately rule on SNAPโ€”either way.

Zohran Mamdani ran on freezing the rent in NYC.

Abigail Spanberger ran on supporting fired federal workers and lowering the cost of living in VA.

Mikie Sherrill ran on lowering utility bills in NJ.

Ensuring people can afford to live a decent life is the path forward.

By this time next week, the estimated deaths due to the illegal destruction of USAID and the shuttering of its aid efforts will breach 400,000.

More than 260,000 will be children.

Trump pissed New Jersey off by cancelling something they valued.

"A tunnel that would have really helped New Jersey residents commuting into New York City. He killed it out of spite because he's angry at Charles Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries because of the shutdown."
