This tweet is a perfect example of why, while I appreciate his work on the J6 committee and willingness to call out his party’s descent into fascism, Rep. Kinzinger still just doesn’t get it.

She was addressing blind disability activists. It’s called compassion and decency.
I wonder if @AdamKinzinger has a similar problem w/subtitles in movies or with ASL interpreters being onstage during speeches?

I also wonder if he knows that the #ADA was signed into law by GOP President George H.W. Bush after being championed by GOP Senator Bob Dole?
Also worth noting that @AdamKinzinger voted for Donald Trump AFTER this happened:

In any event, it's one thing for a business owner to claim that complying with the ADA would "cost too much" or be "too disruptive" to their business...but @VP Harris verbally describing herself to the attendees was a small thing which cost nothing and HARMED NO ONE.
Anyway, help replace as many Republicans with Democrats at the federal *and* state level as possible here: americabluein22.com

📣🚨 How much more will #ACA enrollees pay in 2023 if #AmRescuePlan subsidies *aren't* extended?

Here's a breakout by CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT across 33 states + DC:
acasignups.net/22/07/14/congr…
ALABAMA: Up to ~220,000 enrollees face premium hikes of 65% on average.

That's $62/month or $750/year apiece.
ALASKA: Up to ~23,000 enrollees face premium hikes of 62% on average.

That's $97/month or $1169/year apiece.

ALABAMA: (Preliminary) avg. unsubsidized 2023 #ACA rate changes: +8.4% (unweighted):
acasignups.net/22/07/26/alaba…
As an aside, in case you're wondering why I've only been able to acquire the weighted average rate hikes for 20 states so far, here's an example of part of the problem:
It doesn't do much good to require actuarial memos to be posted publicly if 90% of the actual content of those memos IS REDACTED.

📣 Here's an updated version of my Dem Senate challenger filibuster reform candidate status list.

--Of the 15 races where the Dem nominee is known, at least 12 support eliminating the filibuster entirely; at least 1 more supports reforming it.
--Of the 31 candidates running to flip Senate seats where the Dem nominee is unknown:

--at least 12 support eliminating the filibuster
--at least 3 others support reforms of some sort

I still don't know the stances of the other 18 candidates (including 2 known nominees).
The list will be cleaned up quite a bit next week after Kansas & Missouri have their primaries, and then in 2 weeks when Wisconsin has theirs.

Many people (including the Big Bang Theory) have noted that if Indy hadn't gone after the Ark, the Nazis still would've found it, still would've opened it and still would've gotten their faces melted off.

However, it occurs to me that this goes one step further...
...if he hadn't gotten involved, instead of transporting the Ark via submarine, they likely would've simply flown it directly to Berlin (which was the original plan)...meaning Belloq wouldn't have had time to convince the powers that be to re-route it to a remote island.
In other words, without Indy getting involved, the Ark likely would've ended up melting off the faces of Hitler and his entire High Command all in one shot, potentially ending WWII right then and there.

😳😳😳 My wife spied this hornets nest under our roof overhang today. About a foot in diameter. Image
It wasn’t there less than a month ago. These suckers work FAST.
For what it's worth, the best way to defeat wasps is to help flip the Michigan legislature blue this fall: secure.actblue.com/donate/bluemi2…

I mostly agree w/this thread. I *list* extreme long shot seats for *statewide* races since most people know that a Dem winning in, say, SD is almost impossible, but I still emphasize the more winnable seats. For district-level races, however, I try to stick to competitive seats.
…or at least *potentially* competitive seats. I also include the PVI rating for every district-level race to give people some idea of how tough each district is. Generally I stick to D/R +10 or less, with a few exceptions.
Now there are *other* arguments for helping long shots—building turnout for *their* race can help boost Dem turnout for a winnable *statewide* race, for instance. Just don’t donate to a Dem in an R+30 district thinking that THEY’RE gonna win, outside of an extreme scenario.
