Just appalling.... taking healthcare away from millions of Americans who desperately need it to survive.
Republicans say Medicaid work requirements target the lazy. Here’s who could be collateral damage in Colorado. https://t.co/G9lxNoQzyO

Hey @themouthmatusow -check your 4th grade civics textbook - head of the IRS is part of the “executive branch,” & executes laws made by the “legislative branch.” If this passes, hoping your IRS pal saves you is like a fish drawing dead on the turn still hoping to hit his outs.

Basically accurate
Revealed preferences theory suggests that Wall Street executives value their ability to call their subordinates gay at approximately 8 trillion dollars

This is profoundly true. This is why CEEMI is trying to unlock state earnings outcomes data for more workforce training and postsecondary options - so learners (and funders and policy makers) can make better choices, informed by what works! More:

The prevailing wisdom even a decade ago was that a 4-year college degree was both a necessary and sufficient condition for economic mobility. Both have been proven false. Every student should have every pathway available & have real transparency about those outcomes by provider.

Yup
This week started with administration officials refusing to acknowledge that Russia started the war in Ukraine. It ends with a tense, shocking conversation in the Oval Office and whispers from the White House that they may try to end all U.S. support for Ukraine. I know foreign

I wrote an Op-Ed in @denverwestword today, with thoughts on the housing/open space ordinance @LakewoodCOgov city council will debate Monday night. https://t.co/z8b5GZem0U

"A growing number of my constituents - and even some original SOS backers - now agree the ordinance needs fixing. And I agree."

I called @repgabeevans at (202) 225-5625. His staff says Trump federal funding freeze won’t affect “U.S. taxpayers,” - laughable if not so serious. He’s gaslighting us, blaming “fear-based language you’re hearing from the left.” Call him and give him a piece of your mind.

The Trump Administration needs to reverse this reckless and shortsighted decision immediately. It will wreak havoc on Colorado police, and fire departments, schools, and hospitals that depend on federal grants. If your organization is affected, we want to hear from you. Please

A massively overdue bipartisan reauthorization of federal workforce development system (WIOA), known as A Stronger Workforce for America (ASWA) also out
6 bipartisan policies taken out of the spending bill after Musk torched it -- (My understanding, per aides, is these are also out of what's about to be voted on) 1. Provision aimed at ensuring food stamps are replenished for Americans whose benefits are stolen. Possibly as many

Yes. This is obviously a good idea @SenSchumer
Dems have the Senate majority for the next 60-plus days. Use it! Not just to confirm judges. Hold your own pre-confirmation hearings. Foreign Relations on Tulsi Gabbards ties to Russia. Intel Committee onJohn Ratliffe's misconduct on intelligence in Trump's first term. 1/

I understand why Senate Republicans are surprised and upset about Gaetz. When they all supported Trump, they had every reason to believe they’d get stability, competence, and measured, thoughtful, reasonable choices.

Maybe first thing I’ve read this week that felt like it’s grappling productively with what just happened.
That was a cataclysm. Electoral map wipeout. Senate D practical ceiling is now 52 seats. R's is 62. Time to rebuild the left. We are out of touch with the crisis of meaning/purpose fueling MAGA. We refuse to pick big fights. Our tent is too small. 1/ Some early thoughts:

Look, it’s a tough choice for the undecideds. On the one hand, the high probability of the collapse of our constitutional republic, international democratic consensus, and post WWII stability. On the other hand, those pesky liberals with their pronouns.

It’s too close, and the stakes are too high. Do you have friends in a battleground state? (PA, WI, MI, NC, GA, NV, AZ). If so, PLEASE check in with them, make sure they have a plan to vote. They can get state specific voting details here: https://t.co/pPkuh7aROC.

Look we all make mistakes. We all make bad decisions. We all do things we later profoundly regret and deeply wish we could take back. That said, whatever awful things you have done in your life, there is just absolutely no excuse whatsoever for voluntarily watching Joker 2.

A key point missing in a lot of post debate analysis is that Trump’s claim about immigrants eating pets almost perfectly syncs up to the piano in the Peanuts theme song.
