This is, unsurprisingly, nonsensical. Is he suggesting eliminating health insurance and giving people a few thousand dollars instead? And then when they get a cancer diagnosis they just go bankrupt?
He is so unserious. That's why we are shut down and Americans know it.

WTF.
Two panels commemorating the contribution of Black American soldiers towards the liberation of the Netherlands in World War Two have been quietly removed from a cemetery in Limburg. It follows a complaint by right-wing think tank The Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission.

Trump’s attacks on healthcare have been devastating.
I visited Terros Health in Phoenix this week—a community health center stretched to the brink by cuts to Medicaid and food assistance.
We should be strengthening these lifelines, not starving them.

Traumatizing working people. That's the Maga/GOP/Silicon Oligarchy philosophy. From Trump to Musk to Vought to Thiel, it's about traumatizing working people.

There's a bipartisan push by some in Colorado's congressional delegation to free a father and children seized by ICE on their way to school in Durango. ICE has not suggested the father committed any crime.
