My heart breaks for the families of three innocent people killed today in a hateful attack in Jacksonville—three people who would be at home with their families tonight if not for the deadly combination of hate and loose gun laws that made it possible.

Imagine you choose an "in-network" hospital to receive care but are charged for an “out-of-network” doctor that you did not choose – or even know was consulted.
We're closing these surprise billing loopholes.
Evading the law to charge patients outrageous prices must end.
Here’s an infuriating idea: If Lauren Boebert wins again in 2024, she becomes eligible for a lifetime congressional pension – paid for by you, the taxpayer.
If that doesn’t make you want to give $10 right now to Adam Frisch’s campaign to defeat Boebert, we don’t know what will.

Ho is the first ACLU lawyer to go straight to the bench in 43 years.
Choudhury will be the next—less than a day later.
What Biden and Schumer are doing is nothing short of revolutionary.
The place that we once knew no longer exists. Hopefully, we've learned from some of our errors, but that is questionable.
The future can be written as we wish, but that within itself is a monumental task given the errors made before.

Things began to look very unusual two months ago.
Today the charts need no commentary, they speak for themselves.
This is the Atlantic.

...now, let's switch to a blue state. I took these photos while wandering around a town near where we live. I have blurred out anything that names the town to prevent lunatics from going after them. Churches universally preach love and acceptance.../8
Fear-mongering, fear-mongering.
All that extra money to cops - to harass racialized, FN & homeless? Why no - to save suburban CARS!
Rural & suburban have high car ownership, they're the only votes that count.
Urban residents use mass transit 2X than personal cars.
It's days like today that I'm not at all worried about President Biden's age. In fact, I like & embrace the fact that President Biden is 80 years old. It makes him wiser. It gives him more perspective. And it's why his presidency has been so historic.
@RBReich Agree 100%. And this will be a perfect case for determining the constitutionality of the law that requires Congress to vote on raising the debt ceiling.
If MAGA Republicans don’t like this, and want to force the U.S. into default — wrecking the economy and putting millions of Americans out of work — let them take Biden to court.
Let them demand publicly that he should not honor the full faith and credit of the United States. 6/8
What's to stop Biden from ignoring the debt ceiling and continuing to pay the nation's bills?
I believe he's constitutionally obligated to do so.
And there's at least one precedent for the executive branch doing whatever it takes to avoid default.
Guess who set it? 🧵 1/8
