Great memories of an important day. 31 million people now have health insurance—and the peace of mind that comes with it—thanks to the Affordable Care Act. Now @POTUS is committed to making it even stronger through his Build Back Better plan. https://t.co/RRgs0heacp
The Affordable Care Act was — and is — a big deal. I’m committed to building on the progress we’ve made since its passing to ensure every American has access to the quality, affordable care they need. pic.twitter.com/y8PaxLVrzl
Time for President Biden to take Joe Manchin to the White House woodshed for some painful pressure to get on board with both the reconciliation bill and the voter protection bills like S1 and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. Enough with carrying water for the GOP, Manchin!
California Recall ‘Is All About Money’ Says Former Gov. Jerry Brown
“With the California recall election just days away, there are some encouraging signs for Governor Gavin Newsom. Former California Governor Jerry Brown joins Joy Reid on the nature of recall elections, and why he believes the GOP frontrunner Larry Elder must be defeated.”
"Democrats can only win elections in California when they're rigged" is a good illustration of "fraud" being motivated not by the presence of any actual fraud but the ideological belief that Democratic constituencies themselves are illegitimate.
9/11 Responder Advocate John Feal Shares Life Advice:
“You only die once, you live every day.”
“John Feal is a 9/11 responder who lost half of his left foot when an 8,000-pound steel beam fell on him
a week into nonstop rescue efforts in 2001. Since then, the former demolition foreman has become the leading advocate and face of the efforts to get compensation for first responders. That journey has come with a lot of wisdom, and twenty years after the tragedy his words really hit home.”
TWO DAYS to show the rest of the nation that we stand for: – vaccines – climate science – women’s rights – immigrant rights – reproductive rights – the minimum wage – commonsense gun safety laws

Morgan Freeman on new movie highlighting need to overhaul policing,
‘The Killing of Kenneth Chamberlain’
“Ten years ago in White Plains, New York, Kenneth Chamberlain — a 68-year-old Black veteran with a history of mental illness — accidentally set off his medical alert device. As The New York Times reports, police were dispatched to his home for a welfare check. Ninety minutes later, after he had been taunted with racial slurs and subdued by both a taser weapon and beanbag rounds, Chamberlain was shot and killed. Morgan Freeman, Academy Award winning actor and an executive producer of ‘The Killing of Kenneth Chamberlain,’ joins Joy Reid to discuss this new film that captures these tragic events. Joy is also joined by Frankie Faison, the actor portraying Kenneth Chamberlain, and Chamberlain’s son, Kenneth Chamberlain, Jr.”

Amy Coney Barrett sitting up there with McConnell saying she’s not a partisan hack is a flex. But the flex is “Look at all the dumb media who will uncritically republish this clear lie.”
She basically gave a “bad note” test and the media, again, is unable to speak to power.
The lady who turned her confirmation into a Trump campaign commercial on the balcony of the White House says she doesn’t want the SCOTUS to appear partisan.
Maybe we should stop asking candidates if they will accept the results of elections, as if there are multiple acceptable answers to that question. https://t.co/WuiHe8Jd31
NEW: Larry Elder's campaign is promoting a website that claims the recall is over, Newsom won, and they found voter fraud through a statistical analysis of the results.
Trump has now endorsed Finchem for the job of Arizona’s top elections official. The former president is going key state by key state trying to help get promoters of his lies about the 2020 election elected to be in charge of the 2024 election. https://t.co/2jVFDZFvHj

GOP states let their constituents die by not expanding Medicaid.
GOP said nothing while trump refused to act on Covid-19, leading to hundreds of thousands of preventable deaths. GOP allowed trump to abuse families and children on the border, much of it unreported, that led to
sickness and death. People are dying now who do not have Covid, because hospitals are filled to capacity.
gop is the death party.
Have we let them normalize Covid deaths already = while they fake debate us about vaccines?
Today is the 100th anniversary of the birth of Constance Baker Motley, who, in 1966, became the 1st Black woman to serve as a fed judge. To commemorate this anniversary, @NAACP_LDF, where CBM litigated desegregation cases alongside Thurgood Marshall, is hosting this program👇

Obamas, Bushes, Clintons help launch organization to assist Afghan refugees
“The new organization will work with local and state officials, businesses, veterans’ groups, faith-based organizations and the top refugee organizations to engage with Americans on how they can help the Afghan refugees, who will need clothes, food, and homes as they have come with virtually nothing from their home country.”
“Krish O’Mara Vignarajah, president and CEO of Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service, said nine major resettlement agencies had individually been working on an emergency response to help resettle Afghans, but now there is a “single point of entry” for Americans to get involved.
“This is a historic opportunity for us to show our new Afghan neighbors and the world the best of our country in demonstrating a collective, bipartisan broad coalition, coming together to provide essential services,” she said.”
“The Freedom to Vote Act just introduced in the Senate would strengthen our democracy by making it easier for people to vote and harder for politicians and special interests to drown out the voices of ordinary Americans.
I support it, and every Senator should do the same.”
So, the traitorous thug was planning to nuke china? Guess china (russia and other countries) would have sucked their thumbs and rolled over and played dead.
Every day biden admin and garland commit political malfeasance by not indicting and arresting this traitor is every day the threat to us of a and the rest of the world increases.
Thanks to a few Senators dedicated to preserving the right to vote AND instilling confidence in elections through nat’l, uniform standards, The Freedom to Vote Act has been introduced. Anyone claiming to respect Democracy should support this bill. They won’t…but they should.
"… there isn't really any middle ground on overthrowing the government. And that is what Mr. Trump and his allies were up to in 2020, through both violent and nonviolent means — and continue to be up to today."
A big and underappreciated revelation in the new Woodward and Costa book: Pence said he tried *everything he possibly could* to help Trump subvert the election.
At poll closing, CBS News estimates the California recall race as lean no, to not recall Governor Gavin Newsom, based on our exit polls. https://t.co/cagDpkFQdS
For people who claim to care about saving the government money, CA Republicans made the state spend a ton of money on a recall that is on the way to a massive reaffirmation of @GavinNewsom’s leadership.
If I were a voter in California, I wouldn't be celebrating. I'd be angry over tonight. I'd be asking @CAGOP what the taxpayers got in return for the $276 million wasted on this ridiculous recall campaign. Utterly embarrassing.
Hope the dems keep hammering the thugs about this utter waste of time, money and effort that could have gone to solve real issues that matter to voters.
This is a truly ridiculous take. To launch a recall in CA requires that *12%* of voters in the last election from five counties sign on. That's it. https://t.co/gTsjSl5EAk
BREAKING: California’s Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom has defeated a recall attempt driven by GOP criticism of his COVID-19 policies. https://t.co/cumGmdm8vU
😂🤣😂🤣😂 To be trans and align yourself with the GOP is a special kind of self hatred. May she get the therapy she needs and disappear from public life ASAP!
Republicans started claiming fraud before polls even closed. Republicans now claim fraud in all lost elections. Remember: There is no evidence of fraud. None whatsoever.
The continuing embrace of Trumpism by Republican Members of Congress in Orange County is puzzling to me. Orange County is quite suburban and the overwhelming majority believe in science. And Orange County voters just rejected the recall of Governor Newsom. https://t.co/hV41c2JKVxpic.twitter.com/3NSZ1OW6nr
I previously served on active duty as a JAG. General Milley was referring to a “rogue” nuclear launch. That would be an illegal order if the former President ordered a rogue nuclear first strike without provocation. General Milley was correct in trying to prevent a rogue launch. https://t.co/OZ3bXKKzzy
The only lesson Democrats need to take from tonight is that it is long past time to fix the stupid recall process so that this pointless waste of time and money doesn’t happen again.
Can't believe voters didn't totally embrace the guy who said slave OWNERS should get reparations for losing their property after the Civil War and that we should get rid of the Americans With Disabilities Act.
(Note; Given the state of this country, only mostly sarcasm)
Tonight's win in California proves that DEMs can win when we're organized and we get the vote out. We MUST replicate that to expand our Senate majority in 2022. Your RT and small donation supports our efforts. https://t.co/x88W3t0Z9O
Just a quirky thought. Are the repubs (non-Virus45 wing) trying to push Dan Quayle to run for prez in 2024? Haven’t heard his name touted on MSM before this week? 😏

My Take: #GeneralMilley is a true Patriot who defended the Constitution at its moment of greatest need. He took steps to ensure no UNLAWFUL orders would be followed which could lead to national catastrophe by a mad man. He is a #Herohttps://t.co/GRXJYJeUBi
