Everyone is being fleeced by health insurers & yet the political debate has been narrowed to just Dems demanding more subsidies for their insurance donors & the GOP trying to throw everyone off whatever meager coverage anyone still has.
It’s a total disgrace & shows how deep the corruption runs.

It's kinda incredible that Barack Obama turning hope and change into more of the same created the conditions for Trump and MAGA - and yet as far as I can tell, Obama has never once been asked in an interview about his insane and self-serving "violence to the social order" defense of what he did.

Listening to the GOP continue to use "taxpayer money" as a hammer in budget negotiations is infuriating for anyone who knows how the spending and taxation sequence works. Federal taxpayer dollars fund NOTHING.
It’s appropriate to debate the merits of government funding on specific policy issues.

In addition to using $30 million to try to buy the Dem primary, Cuomo’s oligarchs are also gonna run him in the general election even if he loses the primary.
It’s another reminder that those with oligarch money get infinite chances in life, those without it are lucky to get even one chance.
