I love and hate the DIY mechanics on Youtube.
Love them because I like fixing my own cards.
Hate them because every time I do something other than a simple oil change, there's always some issue that I burn an hour or two dealing with.
Case in point, tonight...

So confused one of the Epstein victim's voted for Trump because he campaigned on releasing the files.
Trump mentions it briefly during Lex Fridman interview.
I watched way too much Trump 2024 campaign stump speeches and it was never anything he was big on.

Donald Trump's dangerous rhetoric about health insurance companies. It's not like a CEO was murdered about a year ago.
Also, this is a stupid plan vs. "just extend the ACA taxpayer subsidies for one more year".

Why think that solid, e-mail evidence is going to make MAGA/GOP turn on him? Epstein-Trump connection has been out there forever (so many pictures).
MSM will just run with denials they treat as truth. No scrutiny of "this is such BS." Compare how Biden was dogged by his age.

From a prominent Republican on X:

"Maybe your rent and car insurance are also going up at $100 to $200. So, the GOP is making your insurance increase too. It's not like you and your spouse can get 3rd and 4th jobs".

For the past 40 days Speaker Johnson has held a press conference and one of his talking points was: "Schumer is only doing this to placate his radical base, it's not about healthcare."
Not even 24 hours after ending the shutdown, this space and other places are proving him right.

I do not get this.
Everyone upset on the left is focusing on <checks notes> the party that made health care premiums/affordability a major issue in the past 45 days.
Instead of <checks notes> the party that demonstrated they won't lift a finger to reduce American's health care premiums.

Does anyone expect the GOP trifecta to continue Biden enhanced ACA subsidies that no one was aware of before October 1?
Everyone is aware of it now!

One of the more cynical days in the Senate yesterday. Where the GOP spent it attacking the profits of health insurance companies for the past 15 years "since Obamacare".
I spent some time gathering clips from multiple fellow Senators.

The GOP is not serious about ending the shutdown. Period. Dot. Print that story.
Trump wants no negotiations (ie. nuke the filibuster).This is insane since you are the ****ing President.
Thune is pretending to want to negotiate.
The House is MIA.

The CIRCUS being run by the GOP has gone public.
President Trump in the past 24 hours went from "Make a deal or nuke the filibuster!" to talking some health savings account BS.
GOP Senators are channeling Bernie's hatred for GREEDY HEALTH INSURERS!
House still closed.

Solution to Dem distrust of GOP in the Senate is for Senate to either vote on ACA subsidy extension first, OR include ACA subsidy extension in the CR -- not "we promise a future vote".
MAGA/GOP should prepare themselves for ACA subsidy extension to pass the Senate with the CR.

How quick will Speaker Johnson and Leader Thune work to end the shutdown?
GOP is incoherent on filibuster.
You can't defend the Senate filibuster, and then refuse to negotiate. Trump at least gets this point, but will he negotiate with Schumer/Jeffries?

Speaker Johnson just defended the filibuster again this AM. As did Thune previously this past week.
You literally cannot both defend the filibuster, and then refuse to engage in compromise with the filibustering party.
It's a non-sensical position.

Re: Shutdown (Day 31)

GOP Senator's don't speak for Trump. Trump rejects a Senate compromise. You have just screwed over Dem's for whatever they compromised on.
