My son just aged out of my health insurance.
Two choices for him.
Pay over $1,400 a month for COBRA
or
Pay over $400 a month on the Health Marketplace, which is actually the least expensive plan there.
Apparently, I'm going to be paying for his cell phone forever to help him out.
The system is not set up to help young adults succeed.
Housing unaffordable. School is unaffordable and Healthcare unaffordable and you have the guy in the White House more concerned about gold for his ballroom and blue paint for the reflecting pool.

@toad1876@Penwah2021@LqLana Democrats controlled both the House and Senate for the first two years of Biden's presidency (2021–2023), giving them unified control of the federal government during that period. Why didn't they fix it.
Donald Trump this week: “I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation.”
Gavin Newsom this week proposed a budget w/:
FREE preschool
FREE school meals
FREE community college for 2 years
FREE & affordable healthcare
TAX CUTS for small biz
Which party is pro family? 🤔
Why is it always the white liberals who Malcolm X warned us about speaking up about black voter rights? Do these white liberal democrats really think black folks are so incompetent they can’t speak for themselves? Or is the gaslighting of black folks for the purpose of manipulating black folks to vote for democrats? Why are black republicans more successful and make more money? Maybe it is the white democrats who are still oppressing black folks. In 1963, Malcolm X said the white liberal is the most deceitful and harmful to the black community. It was true then and even more true today.
Today I traveled to Selma with my colleagues in Congress to take a stand against the radical right-wing plot to suppress Black political representation and dismantle our democracy by gutting the Voting Rights Act. We’ve made too much progress in this country to go backwards. We won’t be silenced.
@RepMcGovern@Hemorn1 The best thing we can do to offset Republicans cheating is to register voters, get voters to polls, then Crush republicans souls in November
@travisxcarson@MericanHamster@WSJ@JessicaTarlov Right so when you pay taxes it goes to the Treasury. Then Congress votes on what to do with it, including your elected representatives. If you don’t like that system take it up with Thomas Jefferson and James Madison.

Gov. Gavin Newsom said he has a secret “break the glass” plan to prevent California from electing a Republican governor — though he’s stubbornly refused to make an endorsement in the race to succeed him.

I'm still the only candidate in this race who refuses donations from corporate PACs. While my opponents let big corporations buy this election, I'm holding them accountable.
There's a major civil rights protest taking place in Selma, Alabama, right now in response to the SCOTUS decision that weakened the Voting Rights Act and the ongoing attack on Black Americans’ political power

Sixty-one years ago, John Lewis had his skull fractured on the Edmund Pettus Bridge so you could vote.
Today, thousands marched that same bridge again — because the Supreme Court just finished the job George Wallace's troopers couldn't.
Louisiana v. Callais. 6-3. They didn't burn the Voting Rights Act. They had lawyers do it quietly, in robes, and called it neutrality. Alabama redrew its map within days. Louisiana's governor is throwing out 45,000 ballots already cast. This is happening now. I know what it looks like when government decides some citizens count less than others. Silence by those in power is not neutrality — it is authorization.
The marchers on that bridge didn't have the vote. You do. For now.
Register. Check your registration. Drag someone with you. If you sit out, you are not staying neutral — you are handing them your voice.
Not voting is not silence. It is surrender
