Why are the "haters" attacking @CocoGauff ? She did everything within the rules. Honestly, Coco is the most genuine, thoughtful, humble human being you'll ever find. She is loved by everyone in the Tennis world. It's really disturbing to see her going through this turmoil.#kindness

So now the Trump administration is sending out one-time $500 checks to people who bought their health insurance through https://t.co/aT2oRibUoZ and paid the full price because they didn’t qualify for taxpayer subsidies.

In other words, people who’s income is roughly 400% above poverty and could already afford to pay full price for their health insurance are getting a $500 check from the president. And guess when those checks started showing up? October 1. Weeks before the midterm election.

The checks come with a letter from Trump lying about why you’re getting your $500. And here’s the really interesting part: this isn’t being distributed evenly across the country. Of the roughly $475 million being sent out, 71% of it, or $339 million, is going to people in just 13 states.

Those 13 states happen to be major midterm battlegrounds. They contain eight of the nine Senate races and 10 of the 12 governors’ races that nonpartisan analysts consider the most competitive.

Call it whatever you want. I’ll call it what it is: a bribe.

Add to the list: New Deal for the Working class:
New Deal (FDR, 1930s)

Fair Labor Standards Act (1938): Federal minimum wage, 40-hour week, overtime pay, child-labor limits.
National Labor Relations Act (Wagner Act, 1935): Protected private-sector union organizing and collective bargaining.
FDIC and related banking reforms: Insured bank deposits to stop runs.
Public-works programs (WPA, CCC, PWA, TVA, rural electrification) provided jobs and built infrastructure during the Depression.
Great Society / War on Poverty (LBJ, 1960s)

Medicare and Medicaid (Social Security Amendments of 1965): Hospital/medical insurance for people 65+ and coverage for low-income people. Medicare now covers tens of millions of https://t.co/JIP6c9NC2u

Civil Rights Act (1964) and Voting Rights Act (1965): Banned discrimination in public accommodations, employment, and voting (key votes were bipartisan; Democratic majorities passed them).

CHIP / SCHIP (1997): Health coverage for children in families above Medicaid income limits.

Clinton also signed 1996 welfare reform (TANF), which replaced open-ended AFDC with time limits and work requirements. Caseloads fell sharply; effects on poverty and child well-being remain https://t.co/DasXjdhhSG

Obama years

Affordable Care Act (2010): Insurance marketplaces, preexisting-condition rules, Medicaid expansion (optional for states), subsidies. Uninsured rate fell; CBO and others estimated tens of millions gained coverage options. Costs, premiums, and mandate design remain https://t.co/lVIccz5Old

Dodd-Frank / CFPB (2010): Financial regulation and a consumer-finance regulator.
Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act (2009).

Biden years

American Rescue Plan (2021): COVID relief, stimulus checks, expanded unemployment, temporary Child Tax Credit expansion, aid to states/localities. Supporters credit it with faster recovery and lower child poverty in 2021; many economists (including some Democrats) later argued the size contributed to the 2021–23 inflation https://t.co/baOLdng2nd

Inflation Reduction Act (2022, party-line): First Medicare drug-price negotiation for selected drugs, $2,000 Part D out-of-pocket cap (phased in), $35 insulin cap for Medicare, temporary ACA subsidy extensions, large clean-energy tax https://t.co/NPj8W5UTP2

The relationship between Bryan Shelton and Ben Shelton—as father and son, but also as coach and player—is probably one of the healthiest dynamics I’ve personally seen in sports.

Former Wimbledon finalist Nick Kyrgios revealed Wednesday he tested positive for cocaine and was provisionally suspended from tennis, calling the doping case a wake-up call after feeling “helpless and alone” as injuries derailed his career. https://t.co/rRiD4kcydM
