I support extending subsidies for short term harm mitigation but we need a vision of the future that gets health costs under control. We cannot subsidize an unsustainable system in perpetuity. What’s the vision? I want rate setting and would love to hear people talking about it!

Love to see my old boss Senator Peter Welch hit the affordability angle here. Most voters aren't climate nerds; they're cost-focused. Money talks, and more clean energy means lower prices for working people.

In a nutshell: Trump promised to lower costs on day 1, but health insurance costs are going up 82% in Pennsylvania. We’re calling him on it so he wants to shut down the government.

Brilliant businessman accidentally gives employees 7-month paid vacation.

American farmers watch their harvest rot. Argentinian farmers get Trump’s bailout so they can sell soybeans to China. #AmericansLast with this admin.

Complete insanity. What about free speech? 🤯

New: A magnitude 5.1 earthquake just occurred offshore of Oregon. It had a depth of barely 6 miles, making it a very shallow quake. This occurred where the Juan de Fuca palte slides horizontally along the Pacific plate along the Blanco Fracture Zone. There wasn't much up and

The 2025 paper "Depression, Populism, and Presidential Approval" finds that negative affect, which is surging among young ppl across the West, correlates strongly with support for populism. If true, this has to be one of the most important facts about 21st century politics.

Q: could an effective messaging strategy be super straightforward? “Republicans need our votes to fund the gov. We’re in the minority so we can’t get our entire policy agenda, but we are asking for one thing for our votes: ACA subsidies to keep costs reasonable for 20M ppl.” 🤷🏼‍♀️

There are about 86,000 ACA marketplace enrollees in MTG’s district. 57% of ACA enrollees are in Republican districts.

Look up, DC! Tonight’s Harvest Supermoon is riding high & bright — appearing about 14% larger & 30% brighter than a typical full moon. Moonset Tuesday 7:40am in western sky. There are 3 Supermoon 2025: Harvest October (full phase 11:47pm), Beaver November 5, and Cold December 4.

This is also a priority of RFK Jr — and an area of agreement with many Democrats, who say the AMA's payment codes wrongly create incentives for specialty procedures instead of primary care. x.com/ddiamond/statu…

It is going to be hard to say that Trump is joking about jailing his political enemies when he’s already TRYING TO JAIL HIS POLITICAL ENEMIES.

Dan Diamond U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. if anyone is curious how CPT codes are created and how values are assigned to each one (which determines payment) - I wrote something to break it down the AMA effectively decides who gets to get paid in the first place by determining CPT code creation and has a committee that

More than 32,000 employees are already furloughed and HHS saw an initial round of firings earlier this year when HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced a downsizing of the department from 80K to 60K.

In what world?!?! 1) illegal immigrants can’t use federal health care programs 2) even once naturalized, there is a five year bar from using any federal means tested program

Janet Mills is ten years older than I am, and now I’m wondering why I decided not to run for Congress again next year because I didn’t want to be part of the aging problem in Congress. And, if she wins, her term would be SIX years, making her 84 at the end of her first term.

“Calling this a budget issue is a lie. It’s an abuse of power — unethical, unlawful, and profoundly dangerous.”

New: The CDC’s flagship publication which reports on public health threats and trends has been essentially rendered inoperable by cuts, sources tell us. I spoke with its former EIC about what this means for the public health of America: statnews.com/2025/10/11/cdc…

The cost of electricity is rising at double the rate of inflation and that’s before all of these data centers kick into high gear and all of these cheap solar energy projects got cancelled. Buckle up.
