AOC wants Medicare at age 55. Popular, amazing proposal!! It would be the greatest domestic policy achievement in 50+ years. Dem leadership need to develop a consensus on their healthcare policy goals. You can’t beat this proposal @aoc.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov

Here’s the 84 pages of various healthcare proposals that the Democrats ended up expressing support for www.politico.com/f/?id=000001...

About 42,000,000 people would be covered if the Medicare age were lowered to 55

Lowering the Medicare age to 55 would cover about 42,000,000 more people, -about twice as many as the (also) popular Medicaid expansion

New KFF poll: Americans want Congress to extend the expiring, enhanced Obamacare credits by a whopping margin of 78% to 22% — a remarkable political entrenchment for subsidies that were a heavy political lift for Democrats just a few years ago, per Politico.

Do they think that if Medicaid doesn’t pay for emergency care that the cost just goes away?

Stoked Republicans are screaming “America First” for medical coverage! Ready to go on expanding Medicare/Medicaid and reducing private insurance costs- just like voters want.

Why does New York pizza always look like the worst, greasy garbage that I could possibly order in my city?

The thing about Trump bailing Argentina out to the tune of 20 billion while shutting down the US government to kick Americans off healthcare… Argentina has universal healthcare. 😑

We’re just going to get hammered on transgender stuff again this election cycle… and for all eternity, right? Talarico, Sherrill and most other Dems think they can just deflect it, since that’s what the party has done for ten years. They don’t realize that time’s up www.foxnews.com/sports/mikie...

Sure. Left wing terrorism is at an all time high, going from 3% of domestic terror fatalities to 4%. Right wing terrorism on the other hand has dipped to an all time low of 95% So technically, yeah.

Lots of Democrat defectors on this, which is bizarre, since MO is the ONLY state that grabs control of police departments from major cities. It’s power consolidation at the state level, by Republicans who love politicizing crime and dislike liberal cities. #moleg

The government’s “sell or be banned” edict on TikTok was always a threat to our free speech, full stop. Vague, unsupported claims of propaganda shouldn’t be a basis for cutting Americans off from global speakers and audiences.

Baseball will use some objective reality for calling balls and strikes. Umpire judgment calls are 100% demonstrably error prone. First the NFL mainly ditches the first down chain gangs- now this!! Wow

I wonder when this Citizens United Senate vote will happen. It’s hard to find info on it.

"Government officials cannot attempt to coerce private parties in order to punish or suppress views that the government disfavors." — Justice Sonia Sotomayor, delivering the unanimous decision of the court in NRA v. Vullo

5 months ago I was feeling good, but look at this agile mf. Not so sure that I’ll finish the Trump era able to kick humanoid robots’ asses!

not an exaggeration to say I am WEEPING with laughter at this reply from someone who hadn't seen that Robert Redford died today

Bad news, guys!! The Rep of my gerrymandered district says we can’t be against the new gerrymander anymore- because someone donated $. Gosh darn it!

Three lawsuits and a referendum: New Missouri congressional map faces multiple attacks #moleg #mogov

Fuckin’ Eagles, man I miss having WRs #chiefskingdom

Important.

Gonna start the Whataboutism Party. I won’t even pretend to try to make things better I’ll just be like “well what about this one time this one totally other guy said a wrong thing about something” and everyone will say “yeah that one thing was wrong- thats BS” and then we’ll win all the elections

How many of these 20 transgender policy issues has Pritzker made a clear stance on? Some stuff is easy- like employment discrimination or military service. Other issues are some of the key areas being litigated and debated- like bathrooms, age of care and sports today.yougov.com/politics/art...

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone. Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care. The system is broken.

J. Sotomayor dissent: "The Government, and now the concurrence, has all but declared that all Latinos, U. S. citizens or not, who work low wage jobs are fair game to be seized at any time, taken away from work, and held until they provide proof of their legal status to the agents’ satisfaction."

Every state legislature should be trying to eliminate SALES TAXES and replace it with other revenue streams. Sales tax is the most regressive. The impact is felt even more, due to inflation and tariffs. Republicans want to cut income and property taxes because they only care about rich people

Gerrymandering reform had tons of bipartisan public support It’s pathetic that Republican voters constantly call Dems hypocrites. If they ever used just a tiny bit of their energy to pressure their Reps to actually DO SOMETHING, we could fix it Point to a Republican rep who wants to fix it or STFU

Whoa. www.ft.com/content/9af0...

Cutting sales tax generally helps the bottom 85%. Cutting property taxes generally helps the top 15%. Cutting income taxes generally helps the top 5%.

Shhhh🤫. It’s game time! #MIZ

As few as 5% of voters could defeat initiative petitions under Missouri GOP legislation #moleg #mogov

Pretty sure my Rep doesn’t know how districting works Your domicile determines your Rep. They make a map. You vote for new Reps, based on your registered domicile. The old districts are used until the new Reps are seated and sworn in. How would this mid-decade MO process change that?
