The Medicaid expansion saved Rusty Williams' life. Republicans should listen to the stories of people who need Medicaid to live in dignity.

Bernie Sanders response to Trump's Joint Address got 8 MILLION views.
Meanwhile the Democrats "Sh*t Ain't True" video social campaign, the pink attire and protest paddles, and Slotkin's Republican lite Dem party response went flat and weak.
Dems need to put Bernie in charge.

Are bills being rammed through House Judiciary?
According to the data, yes!
Sorting House committees by total length of meeting times, Judiciary has advanced nearly as many bills (17) in under 8 hours as all other committees combined (18). Average meeting time is also very low.

Jon Stewart GOES OFF on Republicans for claiming "patriotism" as theirs, for some reason, despite voting against the American peoples' interests every single day! THIS IS THE KIND OF MESSAGING WE NEED IN 2028!

If these "grassroots" anti-vaxx organizations cared half as much about the known carcinogens in their water, air, and soil compared to vaccinations, West Virginia would make huge strides in lowering cancer rates.

If RFK Jr wasn't a Kennedy by accident of birth he would simply remain in the dark corners of the internet with all the other conspiracy theorists.
He's a case study in entitlement and privilege.

Rates of of autism are the same in unvaccinated kids as in vaccinated kids.
So vaccines aren't the cause.
There.
I've saved RFK Jr a lot of time and effort.

The reason Democrats aren’t fighting back is because they all work for the same billionaires.
Hope this helps :)

Stop talking about republicans & democrats & start talking about the wealthy & the working classes.
Stop discussing "left and right" & start discussing top & bottom.
Stop concerning with having the most & best & start concerning everyone having enough.
Start thinking.

BREAKING: We’re suing to stop a $5 million grant in water development funds to a “radically Catholic” Ohio school.
The state Constitution is clear: Our tax dollars cannot be used to support a specific church or ministry.
We’ll see the WV Water Development Authority in court.

A West Virginia lawmaker who spent last session trying to pass a bill to allow for the criminal prosecution of librarians over "obscene books" in libraries drunkenly terrified his own kids so bad that they had to hide in a bathtub two day before Christmas.
Let that sink in.

Another big discrepancy in what Del. Steele told MetroNews about that night in question was the way he keeps his rifles at home.
On the 911 calls, his wife said he grabbed his assault rifles off the wall with children nearby. He’d told MetroNews they were in a safe.

There are only 0.6% of Americans who identify as Transgender.
There is only .002% of athletes who identify as Transgender.
How did that become such a huge issue with the right?
Because exaggerating something in order to demonize a minority is the Republican way.

backsliding into fascism just 80 years after WWII is like failing an open-book test in a room where the answers are written on the board and also being constantly read out loud over a loudspeaker

A reminder that guaranteed universal healthcare costs half per capita as does the exploitative insurance for profit model. It also results in longer life expectancy and lower maternal & infant mortality.
But we can’t have it because too many politicians, Dem & GOP, are bought.

Just a reminder that 100,000 Americans are murdered every year because they cannot afford healthcare while 100 million Americans have medical debt all due to our for-profit predatory insurance system that needs to be dismantled and replaced with a nationalized healthcare system.
