A big premium spike can be a political nightmare for the party in charge, as anybody who lived through the Obamacare rollout can attest. That’s the whole reason Republicans seem so uncertain about their current position.

Democrats Are Winning the Shutdown Fight

Turns out Republicans still haven’t figured out the politics of health care.

Last night, I received notification of the 19th death of a detained person in ICE custody since Trump took office.

ICE is detaining people, mostly in private, for-profit prisons that put profit over health. And now they have furloughed the safety inspectors. This is unacceptable.

Masked agents snatching people at work, church, their child’s daycare. A return of family separations. States are lining up to run their own detention centers.

Anti-immigrant animus is now being paired with unprecedented funding, manpower, and technology.

We report from inside the American gulag.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

When we lose our capacity to be outraged & shocked by the lawless, corrupt, dishonest, ignorant, cruel, un-American, fascist, & just plain horrible things Trump does every day, he wins. So stay outraged. Stay shocked. Don’t ever normalize him.👇 open.substack.com/pub/socialco...

You're Damn Right I'm Shocked

And you should be too. Or he wins.

Johnson and Lauer are stalling.

If Grijalva isn’t sworn in, it gives them time to pressure one of the 4 Republicans who signed the discharge petition to flip.

The reason they’re working this hard to shield the Epstein files is because Trump’s name is all over them.

Can’t sleep. My amazing 25yo miracle son will undergo his 42nd surgery at 7:30am.

I won’t go into details, except to say:
💛 His medical team is excellent
🙏🏽 For the first time ever, our healthcare “insurance” was largely dependent on a GFM

No one should have to live this way.

Trump has been illegally bombing boats off the coast of Venezuela.

Tim Kaine and Adam Schiff forced a vote on reasserting Congress's role over war powers and ending this reckless
warmongering.

It failed 48-51.

Murkowski and Paul voted yes.

Fetterman voted no.
