Lawmakers holding these hearings... “shows how much health care costs have risen on the political radar,” said Anthony Wright, the executive director of @FamiliesUSA, a Washington, D.C., consumer advocacy group.

“These reports show the reason why health care costs are at the top of voter concern and outrage,” said Anthony Wright, executive director of @FamiliesUSA.

Killing the enhanced subsidies was the first ACA nuclear bomb.
This is the second one.
Half of ACA enrollees typically auto-renew.
(You really shouldn’t do that for other reasons but banning it is will be devastating)
The pre-enrollment verification proposed rule just dropped from CMS.
This implements a major piece of the “Big Beautiful Bill” that effectively ends auto-renewals for ACA enrollees with subsidies

Good article today from the NYT. I have still yet to hear one good reason why we should get rid of a broad, multi purpose space to satisfy one thing and one thing only. It defies imagination and what PUBLIC space is meant to be.

Kudos to the camera man. He decided NOPE - ain’t letting him pull this shit. Not today. Not on my watch.

We're in another campaign where voters may punish the party in power for disrupting the status quo in health care, this time for changes to Medicaid and the ACA.
It also happened in 2018 after Republicans tried to repeal the ACA, and in 2010 after Democrats passed the ACA.

It's so weird that amidst the 21st century tech boom, the Bay Area has actually *lost* pro sports teams since apparently none of these tech geniuses is normal enough to want to be a local hero and own a baseball team.

‼️ "Democrats [..] are counting on a potent weapon: the deep cuts to Medicaid that Republicans approved last year in their signature legislation known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act."
"Polling and ad spending suggest Democrats’ health message appears to be resonating"

East Potomac Park was established more than a century ago by Congress for the recreational leisure of the people: golfers, hikers, bikers, walkers, yoga classes and you name it. Hundreds of thousands of people in the DMV and visitors from elsewhere enjoy this beautiful landmark. Of course, Trump’s now trying to steal it for another imbecilic vanity project so billionaires and Trump’s royal court have another place to golf. They have already illegally demolished hundreds of trees where they want the new course to go. With Halloween approaching, maybe it’s time for a march of the Loraxes to stop this criminal desecration and destruction of federal property. washingtonpost.com/sports/20…

Sens. Blumenthal and Tillis just organized a bipartisan call with Zelenskyy
In a statement they say
- "President Zelenskyy confirmed that critical Starlink services remain degraded"
- "He also reported disruptions to U.S. intelligence sharing concerning early warning of Russian ballistic missile launches. As a result of these disruptions, civilians – children – are dying. He also raised serious concerns about delays in critical air defense interceptors and the Administration’s decision to waive powerful sanctions against Russia"
- “President Zelenskyy reiterated his willingness to halt strikes on Russian energy facilities as President Trump has proposed, but only if Putin agrees to the same – a fair request.”
Anthony Wright retweeted
🇺🇦 Zelenskyy delivers a blunt message to the United States:
“Just give us Starlink back. If you refuse, Ukraine will survive. We will continue defending ourselves with or without it.
But why would you restrict a country fighting for its survival? Why make it harder for us to defend our people?
I simply cannot understand the reasoning behind this decision. It is a mistake.”
Ukraine isn’t asking America to fight its war. It’s asking America not to stand in the way of its defense.

In addition to eliminating access for local runners (like me) who frequent East Potomac Park, this would remove significant portions of the Marine Corps Marathon, Cherry Blossom 10 Miler, DC Half & other races that draw tens of thousands of people from all over the world.
Anthony Wright retweeted
This proposed plan is absolutely unacceptable.
Here’s what the plan actually does: 36 holes of public golf cut to 18. No more mini golf. No more park. More running / cycling road. No more playground. No more introductory course. Nobody has said a word about the Cherry blossoms.
Who is this actually for? Not the kid learning to golf. Not the family in a walk. Not the birders.
This was never about the public. It’s for the elitists who want a private showcase, and one man’s ego.
