Those rising premiums may be what finally breaks Trump's stranglehold over Congress. Even in red states, they're bound to notice them. Meanwhile, home foreclosures and auto repossessions are up by roughly 20% compared to a year ago.

Correct. This started years ago, when the legacy media decided that for "balance" they were going to treat GOP lies as equivalent to facts from Dems and "let viewers decide".

Except they never told viewers that the GOP was lying. Dems would have to say it, which turned into he said/she said.

Their “solutions” are no better than no solutions. They are truly trying to defund healthcare so it will only be available to the wealthiest.

Holy shit! Fascist Stevey Scalise is saying HSAs are the solution? Again with this lie?

Question: how can you put money in an HSA when you're UNEMPLOYED OR IN POVERTY? These people are just absolute criminals, liars and swindlers. Who get off on causing death and suffering.

It was never about “free health care for illegals.” This is always what it was about. They have no intention of “fixing” the ACA, they intend to defund it.

So Trump gave Argentina a $20 billion bailout and is now building a Qatari military facility in Idaho.

While Americans can’t afford groceries.

Marc Rowan's argument for the Trump extortion scheme in universities is the biggest mass of Orwellian Doublespeak I have seen in the pages of NYT in years. His central argument is that it means the "restoration of free speech" on campus. It means exactly the opposite.
