This is the busiest time of the year for food pantries, and the combination of federal funding cuts and rising prices is making it difficult for many pantries to meet rising needs.

With just 17 days until Obamacare tax credits expire, it’s now clear: Congress—and the country—are headed over the Obamacare cliff. Even if the House acts, the Senate won’t move in time.
It’s outrageous that all members of Congress have great, taxpayer-funded healthcare! Screw regular Americans!!

Rand Paul says he wants people on Obamacare to buy their insurance through Costco, Sam’s Club, and Amazon? What do you think about the senator’s plan?
ME: First, cancel Congress' health care and send them to Costco, Sam's Club & Amazon, then report back their success stories.

I don't think people are really processing the fact that the sitting U.S. President and his team — and maybe the Supreme Court — and maybe half the Congress — want to force us to accept that we should obey the President and not the Constitution.
I don't know what news would be bigger than that.

If you’re running for Congress, maybe talk about passing a bill to refund everyone the difference in their health premiums for 2026 if republicans fail to pass ACA subsidy extensions.

The GOP just blocked extending the ACA subsidies - again.
Making people’s healthcare skyrocket while you control the White House and both chambers of Congress seems like a great move for the midterms.

The DOJ has confirmed that Trump blocked the release of documents requested as part of a lawsuit brought by injured Jan. 6 police officers.
With this action, the president is directly blocking a case alleging that he helped to fuel the deadly riot. trib.al/JDvHY28

Hello fellow Americans? This means that we're going to be seeing it here, bigly, very soon, spreading across the U.S.
What does that mean? Put on a mask, (don't throw a tantrum) in public. Get your flu shot (don't give me that look).
You're welcome.

So, Trump’s plan is to give a $2K one time payment to Americans instead of to insurance companies, but Americans are supposed to use the $2K to buy insurance from insurance companies.
Did I get that right?
Not only is it willfully insufficient for people’s healthcare needs, but it’s nonsensical.
