1) Obamacare was passed by Democrats 2) the Obamacare tax credits were passed by Democrats during COVID and slated to expire at the end of this year. 3) since Obamacare took effect, healthcare premiums have risen by over 60%. Your failed policies created a healthcare crisis.



pubsubs in dc would fix everything

Publix grocery stores continue to expand north ... into Manassas, Virginia, only 35 miles from Washington D.C. The vast majority of stores are in Florida and Georgia, but more are planned elsewhere including Kentucky. grocerydive.com/news/publix-ne…



not to be dramatic: paternalistic policy making like this is what turns people into fascists

A new law in England now bans restaurants from offering free bottomless refills of full-sugar soft drinks. Chains like Nando’s now have signs stating that customers can have one glass of Coca-Cola Classic, while refills remain available for Coke Zero and Diet Coke.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

One of the biggest things you learn if you go to a top 20 law school is how insane the conservative affirmative action pipeline is. Normal students might struggle to be competitive for federal magistrate clerkships with a GPA that opens top district courts for fedsoc AA hires.

Conservative law students at @UChicagoLaw are perhaps 10-20% of the student body. But they so outperform in prestigious clerkships (this year 5-2 Supreme Court, apparently) that the Law School needs to dispel the "myth" that only conservatives get those clerkships.

House Speaker Mike Johnson has formally canceled session in the House again, leaving Congress in recess. Military service members will miss their October 15 paycheck because of this. If troops go without pay, this will be a shameful first in our nation's history. This isn’t a…

LEGALIZE IT

MAJOR NEWS: @GavinNewsom signed SB 79, my bill allowing more housing near public transit — rail, subway, rapid bus. It’s a huge step for housing in California. It’ll create more homes, strengthen our transit systems & reduce traffic & carbon emissions. Thank you, Governor!



republican health care policy is just an amalgamation of incoherent ideas that overall is just garbage trash.

🚨NEW AD: "Murder is murder. And one day it's going to be your turn." This disturbing quote? It’s what @winwithwinsome had to say about Virginians who support reproductive rights.

Republicans created a health care crisis. Then they left town on vacation. Folks are seeing higher premiums & skyrocketing costs. Democrats are fighting for affordable health care for ALL Americans.

A Virginia Republican called into C-SPAN and begged Mike Johnson to stop people’s health care premiums from doubling or tripling: “My kids could die. We don’t have the credit because of the medical bills I have to pay regularly. I think it’s awful, and the audacity of someone who…
