Starting yesterday, notifications of higher premiums are being sent to 90,000 Minnesotans.

I heard from a small business owner in Eagan whose premium will increase by *at least* $450 a month. That’s $5,400 a year.

That’s why we’re fighting to extend the health care tax credit.

One correction: MTG is not concerned with cost of health care and insurance for her constituents. She is only concerned with the costs to her * adult children.*

Republicans don't care until it affects them personally.

A reminder that the #shutdown affects workers all across the country — not just in Washington, D.C.

Behind every furlough are families missing paychecks, communities losing vital services, and everyday Americans feeling the ripple effects.

More from Boise State political scientist Charlie Hunt

Stormy Daniels "I feel for all the people on furlough during this government shutdown. I know exactly how terrible it is to get f*cked by Donald Trump."

😆😂

She is a national treasure and I will not be taking questions.

Furlough! Work, no pay
Why don’t we have a budget…
Congress derelict.

Create the budget
After the year has started
It makes zero sense.

At least pay assured
Wait, that law may be ignored
Who will stand for us?

IRS to furlough nearly half its workforce as shutdown drags on The move comes a week before a payment deadline for taxpayers who received extensions on their 2024 filings.

The IRS says it is placing more than 34,000 employees, or about 46% of its workforce, on furlough as the government shutdown stretches into its second week.

IRS tells employees furlough backpay guaranteed, while WH counters in memo That comes after Axios reported on a White House memo saying workers weren't guaranteed compensation.

JUST IN: IRS tells employees furlough backpay guaranteed, after the White House argues the opposite

ICE shot an unarmed woman and corporate media are hemming and hawing. Tune out corporate tools. Citizen journalists show and the truth and focus on events that matter.

NEW: Bodycam footage shows that the Chicago woman shot by ICE after allegedly ramming agents with her car actually shows the OPPOSITE – the agent rammed HER, then jumped out, and started shooting. 😳 Sue him for everything he's worth. ICE too.

Thus far, ICE and CBP in the Chicago region killed an immigrant

Shot a woman 5 times-after allegedly taunting her, saying “Do something, b****”

And shot a priest-who wasn’t remotely a threat-in the head

So when does Governor Pritzker deploy the National Guard to protect citizens from these thugs

ICE agent called woman “bitch” before he shot her seven times. She was not brandishing a weapon as they claimed. Why won’t they release his name? Don’t let them provoke you. Record everything you can safely.

Y’all! The woman in Chicago who was shot by ICE after allegedly ramming agents with her car didn’t do it.
Body-cam footage shows the opposite. The ICE agent rammed her then jumped out, and started shooting. Video posted on social media forced them to release their footage.

They can start with the agents who attempted to murder a woman, and then checked her out of the hospital she had ended up in and almost caused her to bleed to death. Based on what local media was able to report, I wager there has to be enough evidence to prosecute.

This is unlawful deadly force

Hegseth’s sprawling hunt for Charlie Kirk critics spans nearly 300 investigations The inquiry, resulting in a smattering of disciplinary action so far, follows an extraordinary directive aimed at silencing criticism of the slain activist and Trump supporter.

Does this include Laura Loomer who deleted her tweet accusing Charlie Kirk of stabbing Trump in the back?

We all want to know.
