⚠️⚠️⚠️ PROBLEM: Election experts keep lecturing you about how vitally important it is for Dems to flip STATE LEGISLATIVE seats blue...but there's THOUSANDS of them, and who the hell knows which seats are even competitive at that level? americabluein22.com/final-500/
🎉🎉🎉SOLUTION: I've compiled links where you can donate DIRECTLY to Dem nominees in up to 400 *COMPETITIVE* districts across 43 states in one sitting!

ALL state legislative districts listed here are rated between R+7 to D+7 or closer by @davesredist: americabluein22.com/final-500/
There's ~7,400 state legislative districts, but LA, MS, NJ & VA don't have legislative races this year, CT candidates use public finance, & some states only have half or no state Senate races this year.

That leaves ~6,400 legislative seats up in 2022.
Of THOSE, only around ~900 districts are considered competitive (within 7 pts). And of *those*, only around ~400 have Dems with a GOP opponent running who *also* have active ActBlue pages so they can be included.

Donate TODAY to make #AmericaBlueIn22!
americabluein22.com
Again, STATE LEGISLATURES have the most control over the fate of democracy, and you get a lot more bang for your buck by donating to them--a $100 donation to a state House/Senate race is often the equivalent of donating $1,000 or even $10,000 to a U.S. House/Senate race!

📣📣📣 Annnnd we're off! The 2023 #ACA Open Enrollment Period has officially launched!

Here's 1️⃣3️⃣ important things to remember before. you #GetCovered:
acasignups.net/22/11/01/its-t…
1. DON'T MISS THE DEADLINE!

While the final #ACA Open Enrollment deadline isn't until January 15th in most states, if you want your coverage to start on January 1st, you have to enroll earlier. Plus, Idaho's *final* deadline is in December.
Here's a table laying out the deadlines for every state. Note that some of these may be extended closer to the listed date...but don't count on that! #GetCovered sooner rather than later if possible. Image

Dear @elonmusk: Let’s set the price aside for the moment. The larger question is whether you’d just dole out blue checks to any schmoe willing to pay or if you’d make sure to, y’know, verify their identity. THAT’s the whole point, not to flaunt status.
If a blue check comes to simply mean “this person agreed to pay us” instead of “we’ve confirmed that this person is the specific person they claim to be” then it’s utterly useless. In fact it’d be worse than useless at that point.
For that matter, do you always haggle over the price of your products so publicly like this? “The new Tesla model will start at $100,000! Er…make that $40,000!”

Except in this case the car isn’t the product…the driver is.

📣 @CMSGov releases July 2022 enrollment report; Medicaid/CHIP enrollment hits 90 million for first time in history:
acasignups.net/22/10/28/cms-r…
The latest official @CMSGov report puts total Medicaid/CHIP enrollment at 89.96 million people. HOWEVER...

--It only runs thru July; enrollment has likely inched up a bit more since then
--It doesn't include the U.S. territories for whatever reason
According to a *different* CMS report, U.S. territories (AS, GU, PR, NMI, USVI) had another ~1.5M Medicaid enrollees...as of over a year ago.

Combined w/the likely increases since July, total enrollment is likely ~92M as of today.

The Washington Post is reporting that "Obamacare premiums are rising 4%" based on @KFF's estimate that *benchmark Silver premiums* are increasing by around 4% in 2023 vs. 2022. 1/ washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…
That's an important distinction, as *overall* #ACA premiums are increasing by a bit more than that (around 6.2% across 32 states + DC): 2/ acasignups.net/22/10/26/updat…
However, the reality is that for the vast majority of #ACA enrollees, premiums won't be going up by either 4% or 6.2% thanks to the premium tax credits (aka financial subsidies) provided for by the #ACA which are dramatically enhanced by the #InflationReductionAct. 3/

🚨 I know I've been spamming my feed w/these fundraising links, but we only have 12 days left & the Muskening is about to commence, so yeah I'm gonna use Twitter to help raise as much for Democrats as I can before he does whatever it is he's gonna do. 1/
We desperately need to keep the #HouseBlueIn22! If the GOP takes control you’ll have racist, anti-science lunatics like MTG, Matt Gaetz & Lauren Boebert in charge. DON'T LET THAT HAPPEN.

This page includes races in half the states; donate today! secure.actblue.com/donate/housebl…
This page includes federal House races in the other half of the states; donate today to keep the #HouseBlueIn22! secure.actblue.com/donate/housebl…

Yes, the “horn” thing is a real question we get asked. It happened to me my first week of college at Michigan State. The girl who asked wasn’t being hateful about it, she was genuinely curious. She thought it was “cool” and was disappointed when I told her it wasn’t a thing.
YIKES! I decided to look up the origin of the myth about Jews having horns (I know it dates back to a mistranslation re. Moses coming down of Mt. Sinai and a sculpture of him by Michelangelo), but I mistyped "origin" and... 👀 Image
ANYWAY, here's an interesting article about the origin of the "horn" myth...it turns out to be more complicated than a simple mistranslation: haaretz.com/jewish/2018-03…
