Nathan Boy in Orlando opened his renewal letter & saw his premium jump from $28 dollars to $733. A 2,518 percent increase. He has diabetes & works full time. Millions are next. This crisis was created by GOP policy choices. It did not happen by accident. #DemsUnited #DV1

Skyler Trujillo in Florida is fighting stage 3 breast cancer. Her premium was 14 dollars a month. That support kept her alive. Now she is forced to choose between treatment, food, & rent. People across country are seeing similar letters with increases that feel like eviction
3/ Do not blame this on inflation. Insurers raised base rates by about 26 percent. Consumers are seeing increases over 100 percent. That gap is caused by the loss of ACA subsidies. When that financial shield expired millions were shoved off the subsidy cliff at the same time
4/ A court ruling ended the rule that kept medical debt off credit reports. Fifteen million people were protected.Not anymore. One med bill can now tank credit by twenty points which can add twenty thousand dollars to a mortgage Families face financial punishment for getting sick
5/ This is a poverty pipeline built by policy. People lose coverage, get sick, take on debt, and watch their credit collapse. Jobs, homes, and stability disappear. If you want to see how these decisions bankrupt families watch the full explainer. 👉

1/7 Trump didn’t just bend the law for billionaires. He erased it. From corporate pardons to killing investigations, the GOP turned America into a pay to play racket. Here’s a brutal look at the corruption they don’t want you to see. ⬇️ #DemsUnited #DV1
2/7 Trump issued the first corporate pardon in U.S. history, wiping away BitMEX’s $100M money laundering fine. His DOJ also gutted oversight of Binance while his family chased business deals with them. Justice was not blind, it was for sale.
3/7 On Day One Trump signed an order to end so called “weaponization,” killing 165 corporate cases, including 47 against tech giants. Translation: he rebranded accountability as persecution so billionaires could buy immunity while ordinary Americans got screwed.
1/9 Pivoting is not a trick. It is how we win the message war. Arguing fact by fact lets Republicans bury us in lies. Pivoting puts us back in control. We need to practice it until it is second nature. Here is why and how. #DemsUnited #DV1
2/9 1️⃣ Pivoting controls the narrative. Republicans never want to talk about how they serve billionaires, lie constantly, and show cruelty at every turn. That is exactly where we should pivot every time. Redirect to the truths they fear most and never let them off the hook.
3/9 2️⃣ Pivoting turns defense into offense. If they scream about “woke schools,” pivot: “What you do not want people to see is that you cut Medicaid for millions just to hand tax cuts to billionaires.” Land the counterpunch. Make them defend their cruelty in public view.

I was digging into school choice fights in the U.S. when I stumbled onto something bigger: the Atlas Network is exporting the same privatization agenda worldwide. Nearly 600 partners in 100+ countries, all pushing to dismantle public education. #DemsUnited #DV1
2/10
It’s not just a domestic battle. Atlas has turned school vouchers into a global franchise. Beyond privatization, the aim is indoctrination: shaping next generation to be anti-government, anti-regulation, pro-corporate, & even climate denialist, all under banner of “choice.”
3/10
Take Sweden. In the 1990s, they adopted a universal voucher system. For-profit schools thrived, but long-term studies show no real gains in opportunity. Instead, segregation deepened & oversight collapsed. Atlas sells this as a “success” to convince other nations to follow.
1/8 PBS may soon go silent after Republican defunding and the gap it leaves won’t stay empty. PragerU, backed by a global web of right-wing think tanks, is poised to step in, flooding our homes with propaganda disguised as “education.” tags #DemsUnited #DV1
2/8 PragerU isn’t just another YouTube channel. It’s a sophisticated influence machine with billions of views, already dominating top search results on history, civics, & culture. Soon, with fed funding, it could spread disinfo even faster, directly into classrooms & homes
3/8 This isn’t an isolated U.S. story. Behind PragerU is the Atlas Network, a global alliance of 500+ think tanks in nearly 100 countries. Each has a local name and accent but they share one mission: advance far-right, libertarian policies & rewrite history to fit their ideology.
1/ The Republican Senate account just fired the opening shot.
They’re kicking off a narrative war to blame Democrats for a shutdown they are engineering.
Fox, radio, influencers, churches, it’s coming.
Here’s the scam.👇 #DemsUnited #DemVoice1
2/ It starts with the filibuster.
Democrats tried to reform - not abolish - it.
They wanted accountability: real talking filibusters, real debate.
Republicans blocked it because the filibuster lets them shut down progress without lifting a finger.
3/ Here’s why they protect it:
Republicans don’t need 60 votes.
They use reconciliation to bypass the filibuster and ram through:
— Tax cuts for billionaires
— Medicaid cuts
— Cut Food Stamps
— Shut Dept of Ed
— Fund Domestic terrorist police - ICE
— Dereg
All with just 50 votes
1/ Isaiah is trying to sleep under the overhang of a shuttered post office.
He’s 53. Living with bipolar disorder. Diagnosed back when he had a job, an apartment, & a doctor.
That was two cities & three bad breaks ago.
Tonight, he’s sleeping on cardboard.
#DemsUnited #DemVoice1
2/ No shelter beds are open. Most nights they aren’t.
He’s wrapped in a thermal blanket from a church drive. His body aches from cold concrete. He’s exhausted, from the cold, from the hunger, and from being invisible until the moment he becomes a “threat.”
3/ A patrol car pulls up.
They’re not responding to a call. They’re responding to a ping, an AI surveillance system flagged Isaiah as “non-compliant,” using facial recognition and old records from ER visits, shelters, and police stops.
The system calls him high-risk.
