It seems obvious to me that the Republican’s refusal to negotiate over preserving the ACA subsidies is designed to crash the ACA market leading to its demise. Without a plan they’re killing healthcare coverage that a majority of Americans value and want to preserve. I hope the Dems stand firm.

There’s a story line that’s going largely unreported which is, I think, behind ABC’s cancellation of Jimmy Kimmel. A story about the use of political performance and raw power to enable the rich to become richer and more powerful.

Largely unreported peace brokered between Armenia and Azerbaijan would create the “Trump Bridge Transport Corridor”. The deal places a 26 mile (42 km) economic and military corridor along the Armenian border with Iran linking Azerbaijan and Turkiye under US control for 99 years.

Trump has declared April 2 “Liberation Day” and his senior counselors have said we should “Trust in Trump.” An Augustan poet said of the Roman Empire “Every man now worships gold, all other reverence being done away.”
