After a breast cancer diagnosis in 2024, Cyndi relied on her Connect for Health plan for the life-saving treatments and therapies she needed.
Now she's in remission & facing the impossible choice of skipping her annual appointments or paying $1200 more/ month for coverage she can't afford.

🗓️ We’ve recently published a series of six research papers and a synthesis paper that provides a brief overview of each paper, identifies key themes across findings, and concludes with policy implications and recommendations. Check them out here: ow.ly/wxAI50WyjbY
It is galling for this puritanical pixie, who has the secular power to (1) prevent deaths in floods by making sure the National Weather Service is funded; and (2) help now by making sure FEMA is funded, to pretend that all we have as a nation to respond to disasters is the free placebo of prayer.
GOP senator has 'conflicting feelings' on TX floods because not all campers died

What pos 💩. Yeah we lost 50, but we found 850. Never mind we killed NOAA. How many more have to die?
Riley: Don’t tell me you give a shit about the middle class when all you are doing is shitting on the middle class
AOC: "On this point of tax on tips, as one of the only people in this body who has lived off of tips, I want to tell you a little bit about the scam ... the cap on that is $25,000 while you're jacking up taxes on people who make less than $50,000 across the US ... while kicking them off the ACA."

It’s amazing how fast they can build a concentration camp: “Alligator Alcatraz”— but they can’t manage to fix a levee, fund a hospital, or get clean water to poor communities.
Crockett: How is it that you can explain that we still are running up the credit card and we have nothing to show for it except for the fact that we won't have food on the tables and we won’t have health care.
It’s costing taxpayers $450/M annually & Alligator Alcatraz concentration camp is already flooding. Imagine a hurricane. People are going to die.
There’s always enough money to hurt folks, but when it comes to public transit, low-income housing, schools, or public healthcare, “Sorry, we’re broke.”
Reporter: I'm going to show you what 20,000 people in the streets of downtown Los Angeles looks like
Maybe that National Guard and Marine Corps can protect the people from the LAPD.
ICE descended upon immigrant communities in LA, targeting innocent people just trying to live their lives, and when ICE was met with fierce opposition Trump deployed the National Guard. This is not “going after criminals,” it’s a scary escalation meant to sow even more fear and division.
“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”
Big point that is being missed: without the insurrection act, the activated Guard troops are now federal army and cannot
Do law enforcement.
Period
There is no bigger story right now than the White House asserting that California residents are in a state "of rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States."
Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"
1/3. Top ICE officials ordered agents to “turn the creative knob up to 11” to arrest more people this weekend—including so-called “collaterals” with no warrants & no charges. This is a calculated cruelty campaign to terrorize immigrant communities, not enforce the law.

Reminder: DOGE was never about "efficiency."
Capitol Police chief blasts Jan 6 conspiracy theories:
“My folks were here on Jan. 6.. They were assaulted.. Many of them were injured. They know exactly what happened on Jan. 6. For somebody to make up some story that, 'Oh, it wasn't that bad’..it is just not true”

The call is coming from inside the house.
Our own government is our greatest danger.

Annual COVID-19 shots for healthy younger adults and children will no longer be routinely approved under a major new policy shift unveiled Tuesday by the Trump administration.
Don't let up. Hold their feet to the fire. (DoJ: I do not mean to literally light feet on fire.)
House GOP is holding a hearing on their tax bill at 1:00 AM because they don't want us to know about their scheme to strip 13.7 million people of health coverage & they think no one will stay awake for it.
I’ll be there, testifying & offering amendments to protect our families.
If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.
Florida’s SB 1580 is now 2 years old. Not a single public case of it being used because there was never a need for it.
But LGBTQ+ people still have to wonder: Will my doctor treat me?
Hate doesn’t need to be enforced to do damage. Fear does the job.
The turnout in small towns across the country has been incredible drawing crowds of thousands. We’re already seeing over one million in attendance nationwide, and events are still underway. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio all had especially surprising showings.
The image is a screenshot of a tweet from Brandon Bradford (@BrandonLBradfor ). The tweet reads: "Deporting Americans without due process then saying they no longer get due process because they aren’t in America means no one has rights, FYI. Nightmare scenario."
If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.
As if higher ed contracting and payment processes weren't burdensome enough.
