CDC Dir. Susan Monarez had 2 lines she could not cross: she wd not do anything illegal, & she would not do anything that ran counter to the science.
RFK Jr asked her to do both- remove CDC leaders without cause, & endorse recommendations that did not represent the best science
So he fired her

As someone who was paying for health insurance before & after the ACA, this is not true for the majority of people going healthcare.gov.
Democrats substantially improved subsidies through the American Recovery Act in 2021. The single biggest gap is red states refusing Medicaid expansion.

California has walked the walk on independent redistricting at the state level for 15 years.
But we cannot unilaterally disarm while other states throw out the rules to gain power.
With one vote, Californians can punch back and also demand nationwide independent redistricting.

The Trump regime and the Republican Party are neck-deep in what could be the biggest cover-up scandal in American historyโone that ties Donald Trump directly to the worldโs most infamous pedophile and child sex trafficker.

When 'lefties' are rushing their keyboards to slam AOC, you have to know right-wing troll farms are working hard to spread dissention on the left in the service of oligarchs. It's an old trick dressed up in new technology. They know damn well people like AOC want to raise their taxes.

House Democrats are focused on fixing a broken system to make life more affordable for everyday Americans.
The one big ugly bill instead prioritizes massive tax breaks for billionaires.
Shame on these extremists.

Just to be clear, vaccines save lives.
Vaccines do NOT contain RFID trackers or body parts.
Science has demonstrated the truth that vaccines work, so y r u dumb enough to trust some stupid butt-kissing talking head with 0 science education?

We Need to Talk About Pedocon Theory
The connection been Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein is no accident, but reveals a deep logic at the heart of reactionary politics.
โPedocon theory does not involve secret networks of underground tunnels where adrenochrome is harvested for reptilian overlords. Pedocon theory is not hiding beneath twelve layers of misdirection. Pedocon theory is rooted in the basic politics of the reactionary right.โ

ACA health insurance will cost the average person 75% more next year, research shows
A new analysis shows that health insurance premiums for Obamacare are set to soar next year, as financial help that subsidized the cost expires. Congress is not likely to extend the subsidies.
Thanks, GOP!
Thanks, Trump!
"Next year, the average person who buys Affordable Care Act insurance will be paying 75% more for their premium...
plans which serve people who can't get health insurance through their jobs and who don't qualify for Medicaid or Medicare..."

What is happening in Sweida - the mass slaughter of Druze by Syrian regime forces - is a real genocide. That is not what is happening in Gaza.
Stop weaponizing 'genocide'. It only demeans suffering of real victims.

Like it was Harris or the guy openly musing to evict all Palestinians and turn it into luxury condominiums, and her calling for a ceasefire and insisting on the humanity of Palestinians wasn't enough to get you to vote? It's because you're a liar or you're a wingnut.
