Health insurance premiums are expected to rise in 2026, with an estimated 6%-7% increase for employer-sponsored plans and a potential median of 18% for ACA Marketplace plans. Growth of the ACA has been concentrated in Southern red states, so Republican voters are going to be disproportionately hit.
I have a hard time giving a shit about high-stakes sports gamblers being bilked out of their money by the mob. What all of those thrown games do for the credibility of professional sports is another matter. How do you feel knowing your team lost because a key player faked an injury?

ICE officers now have complete anonymity and complete immunity. They know they can literally get away with anything. They have become America’s Gestapo and the DOJ our own SS. This is going to get worse.
The East Wing of the White House will be replaced by a Trump monstrosity. The classic dignity of the White House will be erased by the ego of a malignant narcissist. Don’t forget that 77 million Americans voted for this.
