Why ACA tax credits for 22 million Americans are at the center of the government shutdown drama With time running out to avert a government shutdown, millions of Americans who get health insurance under the Affordable Care Act could soon face sharply higher premiums.

Next year’s Trump tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires would pay for insurance tax credits for 22 million Americans FOR THREE YEARS. He shut down the government down for wealthy. The middle class pays the price.

Dear husband noticed that Strahan's sign has two monopoly-looking houses (one for where he lives in Ward 3 and one for where he pretends to live to run in Ward 1) and this be the most truth telling I've ever seen crop into a yard sign. Anyway, Northeast, go early vote for @elliottpayne.org!

For the infant who is too young to get one. For the cancer patient who can't while they're on chemo. For me, your immunosuppressed neighbor who got my own, but is still at heightened risk. Please get your flu and covid boosters, y'all.

Minneapolis is built on the asthma and cancer of our black, brown, and indigenous neighbors. We can't change what happened. But we can change what happens next. Neighbors, please tell @mayorfrey.com to at least, you know, meet with EPNI www.epnifarm.org/news/epni-st...

So would it be easier to just slap a water treatment center on the site that the City's neglected for generations? It sure would. But Mayor Frey, if you *really* want "opportunity for all residents" (as your campaign periodically says) then you need to show up, put in the work and stop milking EPNI.

Reviving this thread bc after putting off @epni-urbanfarm.bsky.social for months, at the last minute last week, @mayorfrey.com refused to meet them about the project that would actually begin reversing generations of environmental racism.

This is a @gerikatz.bsky.social appreciation post. In a tender time of a tender summer in a town still tender from 2020, I'm watching Geri throw in behind so many scenes to protect so many beloveds. Thank you, Geri. I wish you didn't have to, and I'm grateful that you are.
