Loss of subsidy plus massive premium increase (which begets another massive increase next year too and so on). Who benefits? Not individuals. Not businesses trying to insure their employees. Not doctors who no longer have patients with coverage. Insurance company execs and stockholders benefit.

Insanity. Not that it is a real surprise from the current crop of idiocy-worshiping nincompoops, but still. Maybe we can sell it to Europe then buy the data back from them for twice the price. 🤦♂️

Why a NASA satellite that scientists and farmers rely on may be destroyed on purpose
The Trump administration has asked NASA staffers to draw up plans to end at least two satellite missions that measure carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, according to current and former NASA employees.

All the attempts to explain and predict rationally have to be discounted.

So let’s be very clear about this - DOGE isn’t saving America money. It is now among the costliest domestic programs in our history; and certainly the most significant wealth destroying.
🚨 Big SCOOP 🚨
Tax revenue could fall by as much as **10%** this year, per sources, as taxpayers and businesses see the Trump admin as less likely to challenge tax cheats.
That'd be **$500 BILLION** in lost revenue.
It'd nearly double the tax gap in a single year.

It is a reciprocal tariff for Canadian Surplus? tl;dr: there's a flat 7.5% tariff on dairy imported into Canada that increases to around 250% if you import it without purpose. Sounds like Trump heard this and is now being idiotic about it.
