Health insurers are jacking up premiums while raking in billions in profits.
Expiring ACA subsidies will saddle millions of Americans with massive monthly premium increases.
Is it any wonder that 63% of Americans now support Medicare for All?

41 minutes of watching two shipwrecked men trying to flip a boat and signaling for surrender/help before firing on them again reminds me of the 9.5 minutes Derek Chauvin knelt on George Floyd’s neck, in that it’s an agonizingly long time to be killing helpless people who clearly posed no threat.

Always afraid of questions by intelligent educated women. Micro-dick energy of Trump rearing its tiny head every day. This imbecile man-baby with his fake Dollar store peace prize medal around his neck. What a clown.

The most depressing lesson of the Trump era is that scandals don’t matter if the perpetrator and their supporters don’t feel shame.
Shamelessness is now a political superpower.

BASH: The president said very clearly this week he doesn't want Somali immigrants in America. He called them 'garbage.' Is that the real reason this operation is happening?
HOMAN: No. I think President Trump is referring to public safety threats & natl security threats
BASH: He didn't say that

American soldiers have long faced unlawful orders. They need courage and our support to resist. • Kansas Reflector
The question of resisting illegal orders becomes a flash point in American politics every generation or so.

By contrast, Patel favors a tactical jacket that says "FBI." Sam Stein at The Bulwark reports that Patel allegedly wouldn't disembark the plane in the aftermath of the Kirk assassination without wearing an FBI raid jacket, which he borrowed from an agent.

They’re desperately trying to separate the pipe bomber from MAGA, Trump, and 1/6. It’s why there’s a 22-day gap in the arrest affidavit. I’ll be covering this on the @meidastouch.com channel tomorrow at noon PT.
Please call the guy the January 6th pipe bomber.
Fox is calling him the "January 5th bomber" because he planted the bombs the night before but really because they don't want to mention 1/6 as a bad day.

Ann Lowe was the Black genius behind Jackie Kennedy’s iconic wedding gown.
Before the fashion world was ready to credit a Black woman’s talent, Lowe was already designing for America’s most powerful families. Brilliant. Bold. Innovative. Undervalued. And nearly erased from history.
