@GottaLaff the “A” in USDA no longer stands for “agriculture” Now it stands for acquisition because more generational family farms are going to be lost so that billionaires like Ted Turner & Bill Gates (already the largest landowners in #Nebraska ) can buy up more farmland. I guess the majority of #ruralvoters are getting what they voted for. At least the billionaires (supposedly) vote blue… #MundusSineCeasaribus “a world without Caesars” in Latin

📣 NEW STATE ADDED: I've completed pie charts breaking out total population enrollment in #MEDICAID, #CHIP, #MEDICARE & #ACA exchange plans for every Congressional District in #NEBRASKA:

ACA Signups · Congressional District Enrollment: NebraskaNOTE: THIS IS AN ONGOING PROJECT; IT WILL TAKE SEVERAL DAYS TO ADD EVERY STATE. CHECK BACK SOON. Over the past couple of months I've compiled a master spreadsheet breaking out enrollment in ACA plans (Qualified Health Plans & Basic Health Plans), Medicaid/CHIP coverage (both traditional & via ACA expansion) and Medicare (both Fee-for-Services & Advantage) at the Congressional District levels. With the pending dire threat to several of these programs (primarily Medicaid & the ACA) from the House Republican Budget Proposal which recently passed, I'm going a step further and am generating pie charts which visualize just how much of every Congressional District's total population is at risk of losing healthcare coverage. USE THE DROP-DOWN MENU ABOVE TO FIND YOUR STATE & DISTRICT. You can find the data sources & methodology explanation links here. ​​​​​​​

Focus attention of the harm #Musk is doing to CONSTITUENTS in states with GOP senators & Reps. h/t @emptywheel

Yes, #USAID shuting down will hurt kids in Africa, BUT they REALLY CARE ABOUT SPECIFIC FINANCIAL DAMAGE to farmers in their Districts

Hot tip for Blue Dots in Red States w Red Reps, like #Nebraska
Repa LOVE to say they're protecting family farmers, even if they're Corp farms.

🚨 OK, #NEBRASKA, YOU'RE UP NEXT!

I'm continuing my state-by-state look at how much more #ACA enrollees will have to pay starting in 2026 if IRA subsidies aren't extended:

acasignups.net/25/01/20/how-mu

ACA Signups · How much more will NEBRASKA residents pay if the improved #ACA subsidies aren't extended?It was in early 2021 that Congressional Democrats passed & President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), which among other things dramatically expanded & enhanced the original premium subsidy formula of the Affordable Care Act, finally bringing the financial aid sliding income scale up to the level it should have been in the first place over a decade earlier. In addition to beefing up the subsidies along the entire 100 - 400% Federal Poverty Level (FPL) income scale, the ARPA also eliminated the much-maligned "Subsidy Cliff" at 400% FPL, wherein a household earning even $1 more than that had all premium subsidies cut off immediately, requiring middle-class families to pay full price for individual market health insurance policies. Here's what the original ACA premium subsidy formula looked like compared to the current, enhanced subsidy formula: Unfortunately, the ARPA's subsidy enhancements included a major caveat: They were only in place for three years, originally scheduled to terminate effective December 31, 2023 (they were retroactive to the beginning of 2021). The good news is that this sunset date was bumped out by another three years as part of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) passed in 2022.

Despite Trump’s Win, #School Vouchers Were Again Rejected by Majorities of Voters

In several Republican-led states, popular sentiment on the voucher issue has been overridden by the efforts of special interest groups and powerful governors who have enacted sweeping voucher programs that often benefit affluent families.
