Americans who buy coverage as individuals will will face a one-two punch in their premiums next year: double digit increases in the base rate & expiration of enhanced tax credits--both deliberate decisions in the President's budget bill passed by Congress. https://t.co/Y10SsoIYXr

Joe Biden has said former Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan once joked to him he's not really Irish because he doesn't hold a grudge.
@RepDebDingell @JohnDingell For decades, Biden and Pelosi were political allies and accomplished a lot legislatively together when JRB was in the WH. But it was different at the end, when Pelosi helped pressure Biden to drop out of his race last year for reelection. Here’s me and @alivitali on Pelosi’s

What's even worse, it appears the House GOP is focused on the opposite of legislative safeguards and instead seeking ways to make it *easier* for President Trump to violate a budget agreement and impound funds. https://t.co/TQ14ECNwvv
Scoop: House language barring GAO from suing the administration over impoundment without Congressional approval is a sticking point in Legislative Branch talks, as lawmakers work to finish 3 bill package to attach to new CR. More:

The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.
These big wins will embolden Dems to take on Trump's lawbreaking and show there's a price for GOP enabling of him. Folks hate to hear this, but normal patterns are alive and well: Liberalism isn't dead, Rs likely to lose 2026, and Trump is very unpopular, not a magical exception.

Today marks SIX WEEKS since I was elected by the voters of AZ-07. For six weeks, @SpeakerJohnson has denied them their voice in Congress. That's not leadership. That's obstruction.

Prior to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), insurers selling coverage to individuals would deny people with serious pre-existing conditions and high-risk occupations, exclude coverage for certain...

Rs complaining a lot these days about ACA sending money to private insurers Easy way to do something about that: Open up Medicare to 55+ Makes perfect sense -- unless, of course, objection isn't to the private insurers I.e., objection is to helping people get health coverage
This is my new favorite chart, btw. The mode (most common) age of ACA enrollees is 64 — just before Medicare eligibility.

MLB postseason recap: The Detroit Tigers suffered a heartbreaking loss to the Seattle Mariners, who suffered an even more tragic loss to the Toronto Blue Jays, who suffered an even more gut-wrenching loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series. Bizarre chain of events.

Trump has always governed as a wartime president, with blue America, rather than any foreign adversary, as the enemy. In his second term, Trump has escalated this to a literal extreme, treating blue places as hostile territory to be subdued & their electeds as “the enemy within”
Here’s a disturbing video from Evanston of a federal agent hitting a man on the ground as people yell that he can’t breathe.

In our current era, the world is rife with self-centeredness, arrogance, and a pervasive rejection of divine principles. This creates strong opposition to those who strive to live a life of godliness, which stands as a silent yet powerful indictment against moral decay. As a

This is Trump mitigating - not even solving - a problem he created. China was buying more than 30 million tons of soybeans/year from the U.S. when Trump first took office. His first trade war with China cratered that, with Brazil taking market share, and that problem got only
