Trump promised DOGE checks, tariff rebates, and a $5,000 dividend if Republicans hold Congress. Most of it was noise. But $500 checks are quietly going out to ACA enrollees just weeks before the midterms. The fine print may be his most brazen vote-buying scheme yet.

"At least six babies in Pennsylvania have been born infected with measles, with two so sick they had to be admitted to intensive care. Congenital measles is a disease that’s rarely, if ever, seen in the U.S..." www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...
America had wiped out measles. Now babies are infected at birth.
Congenital measles has rarely been seen in the U.S. That’s changing as vaccination declines and more pregnant women become infected.

POWERFUL MOMENT Americans forming a human chain around the Kennedy Center to protect a national memorial from a president threatening to tear it down. JFK’s niece, Kerry Kennedy, called on people to show up, and they did. This will never be the Trump Center, in the people’s eyes.
Creepy insurrectionist Nazi Mike Johnson is warning voters that if Democrats take control the orange felon will be impeached again and his vile family will be criminally investigated. That’s the idea asshole and let’s send you and the entire MAGA crime syndicate to jail whilst we’re at it.
MAHA Moms powered the movement—but under Trump, its men have ascended to the highest levels of power. Guess what their priorities are? (erectile dysfunction and steak). The latest in our series with @thefern.org
Women built MAHA. MAGA bros have taken it over.
Forget regulating food—manly MAHA cares about meat, testosterone, and erectile disfunction.

For 33 years, McConnell has voted against family and medical leave for working Americans. Then he disappears from the Senate for 92 days and keeps collecting his full paycheck. Apparently, paid leave is only a problem when someone else gets it.

Inflation eating up worker pay. Household debt and student loan defaults at a record high. 8 million people have lost healthcare the past year. Thousands have been sickened by disease outbreaks and contaminated food. Trump says, "Pretend I'm on the ballot" ahead of the midterms. Please do.
Remembering September 11. Never forget. I honor the 2,977 innocent lives lost, the courageous first responders who sacrificed everything, and all families forever changed. Pictures taken at Exchange Place JC Waterfront & Hudson River Water Front.

It’s not a Supreme Court anymore—it’s the Institute for the Advancement of Christofascism. Don’t listen to these normopath lawyers insisting precedents still hold water with these six religious zealots; they don’t. They don’t even follow the “irreparable harm” rule in equity cases.
The concept of using electric shock on a child whether framed as discipline or behavioral redirection is not just inappropriate; it’s profoundly irresponsible!
People are speaking out against the use of shock gloves at OPS schools
When Omaha Public Schools starts next week, school resource officers will walk into middle and high schools with shock gloves. Now parents and students are speaking out.

Shock gloves are “inherently abusive equipment that facilitates torture,” said CVT's Yumna Rizvi in @hurwitz.bsky.social's new article in @motherjones.com as the gloves are given to ICE agents. Yumna says use of these tools “is inherently harmful. It has no legitimate law enforcement purpose.”
