Reuters reached out to everyone that Trump or his subordinates singled out publicly for retribution, and reviewed hundreds of official orders, directives and public records. The result: the most comprehensive accounting yet of his campaign of payback.

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

I am beginning to think people who keep failing to understand this don’t actually or haven’t ever used the premium tax credits.
I'm not sure how to say this any more simply. ACA premium tax credits are for people, not insurer. People receiving a tax credit can use it to buy any plan in the ACA marketplace. As an administrative mechanism, the government then forwards the tax credit to the chosen insurer.

But now it has the ear of top Trump/MAGA officials, Big Business, and influencers. They're thinking about cementing MAHA's legacy beyond RFK, attendees told me.
