Remember: when someone says cutting Medicaid will save the government nearly a trillion dollars in a few years, that means nearly a trillion dollars of healthcare won’t make it to people who need it. It’s not like Medicaid recipients are going to go pay out of pocket. Now, those sick folks still get sick, and they eventually wind up in ERs, and every stupid, cruel turn of events along that pathway has costs to us all.

I’m at least a week late to this, but…

…someone saying we need to “forgive” the Republicans and move forward is some serious levels of “Just completely ignore all the people they hurt.” It’s like making sure the hit & run driver gets into group therapy while the person who was hit is still bleeding out on the sidewalk

And this is 100% how evangelical Christianity handles the concept of forgiveness

Let’s get lobbyist money and influence out of politics, starting with our own legislative process.

History made again! Mary Peltola becomes Alaska’s first Alaska Native U.S. senator, its first Democratic woman senator, and the first Alaska Native to serve in both chambers of Congress. In 2022, she was the first Alaska Native elected to Congress. A trailblazer twice over.💙
