Wow. The moment Jake Tapper called the Mississippi Senate race is something to see.
Mississippi was ground zero for civil rights. The most dangerous state for Black people. They kept saying go slow, go slow.
Tonight, Mississippi sends a Black man to the Senate.

The map contains factual errors (e.g. Augusta Chronicle for Georgia vs. Piratesβ House 1753 per sources) and shows irregular state borders consistent with AI generation. Users have questioned its authenticity.

WOW: On the first day of bill filing for the new TX Legislature, Democrats introduced bills to expand Medicaid, raise the minimum wage, end data center tax breaks, ban Flock cameras, legalize marijuana, and repeal ICE partnerships for sheriffs.
Taking Texas by the horns.

Under Bernie Sandersβ Medicare for All plan, a family of four earning $50K would pay about $844/year in household premiums-replacing taxes.
Today, the avg family pays $6,850 in insurance premiums out of pocket, before deductibles and copays.
Which of these is the larger number?

Sanders just laid out the first 100 days of health policy:
- Medicare at 55, not 65
- Dental, vision and hearing covered
- Every kid insured from birth to 19
All of it fits through reconciliation with 51 votes. No filibuster excuse.
Democrats ran on fixing healthcare costs. This is the test of whether they meant it.

Talarico is 37, Ossoff is 39, El Sayed is 42, Forstag is 32, Andrew's is 46, Rutinel is 31, and Sand is 44.
Thus is a new generation. Out with the old, in with the new.

As an immediate first step to Medicare for All, the new Democratic Congress must lower the Medicare eligibility age to 55, cover all kids & expand Medicare for dental, vision & hearing.
All of this can be passed with 51 votes in the Senate through reconciliation. Letβs do it.
