There’s your Republican talking point. At least 12 million Americans have to see their health insurance premiums skyrocket and the Republican response is the same as their response to every policy question - “illegal aliens!!!”

So, in states like Wyoming, we have to prove we're 18, with photo identification, to be on BlueSky. Fun fun! I think I'm so over this bullshit.

More than ever, Americans must remain grounded in the founding principles of our republic. I'm proud to be among those from across the political spectrum supporting the @weholdtruths.bsky.social to remind us of the values we hold in common, and to help make the Constitution accessible to everyone.
