Kerry: I was part of the any number of conversations with Netanyahu.
Psaki: Pitching the US strike Iran?
Kerry: Yes, he wanted us to strike. He came to President Obama. He made a presentation to ask to strike. President Obama refused. President Biden refused. President Bush refused.

We need to do more than win in November. We need a massive blue wave. The only way to stop the MAGA shenanigans of the Trump regime is to win big, limit their power, and then do it again in 2028. Please follow the people on this list who are on the frontlines fighting for US.

What should you do if you get a surprise medical bill?
Patricia Kelmar of PIRG explains: www.youtube.com/watch?v=uieT...
Means testing costs money and burdens clients as well as service providers. It's the red tape conservatives claim to hate. Excluding the rich makes the service feels like charity to those who qualify, and it ensures that those who don't qualify have no stake in protecting the program.
Surprise medical bill arbitration processes frequently favor providers, leading to significantly inflated medical costs for everyone.

The Affordable Care Act is personal for me, as I used to have junk health insurance before. If I still had that junk plan, today I would be bankrupt or dead.

A green infographic with bold text states: “Instead of spending $200,000,000,000 to continue the war on Iran, the United States could:” followed by three points. First, “Cover Medicaid for all 14 million people at risk of losing insurance.” Second, “Cover SNAP for all of the 4 million people at risk of losing food assistance, including 3.5 million due to new work requirements for older people and caregivers.” Third, “Expand Medicaid to an additional 10.3 million people.” Small icons (a heart, an apple, and a medical kit) accompany each point. A logo at the bottom reads “National Priorities Project at the Institute for Policy Studies.”
It’s a choice every day to fund this illegal war AND to ask for more, instead of choosing to fund healthcare and food for our families.

Republicans want to cut our healthcare even more to pay for endless wars? NO!
My health insurance costs are already up 21% this year. And we hadn't even invaded Iran yet. What about you?

No Kings! (In Alexandria Virginia, north Old Town along Route 1 this afternoon)
Kings rule by fear. They make people afraid to speak up. Trump wants us scared and quiet. We will not be.
If you are looking for real time updates and voices of the resistance at #NoKings events around the country today this is a good place to start. Please share and follow. ❤️
