Denying healthcare to people who have paid into it for their entire lives based on arbitrary or algorithmic factors is violence. Threatening to stop covering the cost of anesthesia for a surgery if that surgery surpasses an arbitrary amount of time is violence. Making the 2/

You wanna hear a little story of how it all began? Once upon a time, there was a man named Ronald Reagan. He was known as the "Great Communicator" because he was good at spinning words. He was a failing actor who decided to run for president. His campaign slogan in 1980 was

America trying to find new and creative ways to kill children besides gun violence.

The Trump storm is coming. And suddenly it’s very, very important that we’ve elected people who believe in democracy, freedom, and the plight of working people at the state level. 🧵

Good lord. "Trump also invited Hungary’s PM Viktor Orbán, El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele, Italian PM Giorgia Meloni, and Argentinean President Javier Milei, a.k.a. the world’s far-right populist leaders. He’s spitting in the face of America’s sacred traditions, and he’s

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 New Monmouth Poll finds that 36% of Republicans won't be "bothered at all" if Trump "suspends some laws and constitutional provisions." This data should dominate the topic of every Sunday show and won't likely even get a mention in case you are wondering how in the

We should always be asking how we can improve public schools. But doing that also means rejecting failed ideas. School vouchers have had catastrophic results for kids and families. Because with vouchers, it’s the schools doing the choosing.
