Starting today, around 22 million Americans enrolled in Obamacare will see their tax credits run out.

The average recipient will likely see their premiums more than double in 2026.

Certain people — including residents of many states that voted for Trump — will be more exposed to a subsidy lapse.
ACA subsidies are expiring. Here’s who the lapse will hit hardest
Early retirees, mid-income consumers, small business owners and residents of states won by President Trump are among those who'd be affected most.

A Louisiana law cedes much of the power of the parole board to an algorithm that bars thousands of prisoners from a shot at early release.

Civil rights attorneys say it could disproportionately harm Black people — and may even be unconstitutional.

An Algorithm Deemed This Nearly Blind 70-Year-Old Prisoner a “Moderate Risk.” Now He’s No Longer Eligible for Parole.

The top 10% of richest Americans own 87% of stocks.

The top 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks.

It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.

New Year’s Eve release should not obscure Jack Smith’s testimony. He collected evidence lawfully, and he believed it would prove Trump’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

This Jack Smith deposition makes one thing abundantly clear:

If Donald Trump wasn’t re-elected, he’d be spending the rest of his life in prison.

And he should be.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis diverted more than $35 MILLION in taxpayer dollars to defeat two ballot initiatives last year.

I’ve got the @miamiherald.com‘s blockbuster reporting on how DeSantis cheated needy Floridians and children from their already-earmarked funds.

If we’ve learned anything these past few years, it's that:

1) Workers keep America going, not billionaires
2) Corporate profits don't trickle down to workers
3) Poverty is a policy choice
4) Health care is a human right
5) Strikes work

Let's keep fighting for a better world.

Smith: He was getting calls from people he trusts, people he relies on—and he still refused to come to the aid of the people at the Capitol. That’s very important evidence for criminal intent in our case.

Question: But the president’s statements that he believed the election was rife with fraud—those are statements protected by the First Amendment, correct?

Smith: Absolutely not. If they are made to target a lawful government function and are made with knowing falsity, then no, they are not.

Literally this year the MN Speaker was murdered at her home when a white male MAGA chud dressed up as a fake cop & killed her

Now mere months later, MAGAs are shocked that daycare operators in MN wouldn't open doors for white male MAGA chuds dressed up as fake journalists, demanding access to kids😐

Trump’s latest fundraising email asks supporters to check a box to “SUPPORT MAGA in this DO-OR-DIE battle.” The fine print: checking it auto-adds an extra $3,300 donation on 12/31.

🧵Chen is a known Russian agent who ran a Russian influence scheme.

In the wake of her indictment, she lost her visa and was kicked out.

Trump intervened, and a year later she is now back in the US.

She personally thanked the State Dept for the help.
