Repost if you agree: The Senate should vote TODAY to extend the ACA tax credits.

The House already passed a bill with a three-year extension that would bring down premiums for MILLIONS of Americans. Now it’s up to the Senate.

Leader Thune: Let the Senate vote ASAP.

Because it’s not getting reported on enough:

Muslim fruit shop owner Ahmed al Ahmed, father of two, was the hero who bravely tackled one of the Bondi Beach shooters and took away his gun.

He saved lives during a major terror attack. Say his name, and honor the lives of the victims of the shooters

That's what I used to do when I was teaching. I bought some heavy duty ones that I always had in my backpack.

Imagine paying for Netflix every month, and then paying when you watch the movie, and then getting another bill three months later because one of the actors isn’t signed with Netflix so you have to pay him directly.

That’d be STUPID right???

Nike co-founder Phil Knight makes record-setting donation to help elect Republicans It is the single largest donation Knight has made to an Oregon candidate or political action committee.

Phil Knight is almost single handedly funding the OR GOP, one of the more extreme state GOPs in the country. Keep that in mind next time you’re in the market for sportswear or sneakers. www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

Today I spoke with a neighbor (a reliable Democratic voter) about Prop 50.

She was dead set against it, but I was able to change her mind.

She didn't understand that Republicans are stealing Democratic Congressional seats across the country.

Talk to your friends & tell them to vote YES on Prop50!

Search LibGen, the Pirated-Books Database That Meta Used to Train AI Millions of books and scientific papers are captured in the collection’s current iteration.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Has anyone drawn up articles of impeachment against Robert Kennedy Jr.? Just drawing them up and trying to force a vote would change the discussion surrounding him. Every Democrat in Congress should express support for impeaching and removing him. So should every 2026 Democratic candidate.

It’s a gift to the rich and a disaster for families.

She has a rare disease. A drug called elamipretide has helped her survive.

But the FDA recently denied its approval.

Now, her health hangs in the balance.

Please share her story & urge the FDA to reconsider. 🧵

This is beautiful: denied art supplies, incarcerated artist Juan Hernandez learns to make his own canvasses, and then creates an instructional zine to teach others to do the same.
