Here's the plan: Simply assume that there's a well-functioning market for health insurance and then let people buy insurance in that imaginary market.

The U.K., which controls some territories in the Caribbean, operates an intelligence network in the area. In a major break between longtime allies, it has stopped sharing this intelligence with the U.S. government. trib.al/zRXFsxa

The Christian right for decades has fear-mongered that federal agents (under Dem presidents) would "criminalize" Christianity and literally prevent them from worshipping.
Now that Trump's stormtroopers are doing it ... crickets

Here’s a story for every national news outlet:
In N.C., churchgoers are literally running into the woods as federal agents descend on the property.
“Inside the church, women and children sobbed as they wondered whether their loved ones had been taken.”

Seriously? So now we learn that the "invasion" on our border supposedly involved cattle? So, which "holding pen" are they in? Wherever it is, they're probably being treated better than the people. Not a high bar.
These Trump billionaires think we’re all morons. Their excuses while they raid the treasury and play us all for suckers are getting worse and worse.

And then think of what a cornered psychopathic human being with the morals and instincts of a rat and control of over five thousand nuclear warheads would do.
This is a very dangerous moment for the country and the world. A cornered rat will do anything to escape.

And this is why survivors can spot this behavior a mile away. Unfortunately, most people are deceived. They also seem to forgive and forget over time, even if they once "got it". Or they see only selectively for certain aspects. The Epstein saga seems to be getting through, but time will tell.
This is why it's said: "Fascism is Narcissism Writ Large"- it's the same gaslighting, projection, denial tactics. It's also how the Russian KGB knew, in 1980's, that DJT was perfect as an asset/useful idiot; because he has no conscience, NOR qualms selling out and destroying his own nation & people.
Prepare for a whole lot of this.

Astonishing is the exact right word.
Trump: “Tariffs protect you!”
Also Trump (a few months later): “We’re cutting tariffs to help with the cost of living!”
Economists: “So… you admit it?”
Trump: nervous coughing noises

I finally got to this, and I wish I had watched it sooner. @djrothkopf.bsky.social has two great guests, @taraemcg.bsky.social & @simonwdc.bsky.social who express far better than I the reasons behind the anguish, disappointment and anger I have felt over The Capitulation by Schumer. And then, hope.
The Senate Democrats messed up big time. @simonwdc.bsky.social and @taraemcg.bsky.social join @djrothkopf.bsky.social to examine the effects this blunder will have and how Democrats can regain lost momentum as soon as possible.

Meanwhile—Barack Obama ran as Barack Obama and Zohran Mamdani ran as Zohran Mamdani, and MAGAs accuse Dems of identity politics

So the woman who insisted Santa is only white and then insisted Blackface is not racist is now insisting Epstein raping children isn’t rape.😐
These are the same folks who have spent the last decade calling to ban immigration because immigrants are “rapists.”

Trump’s problem is that so many Americans — including his MAGA base — believed that he’d expose a powerful global elite.
But every day it's becoming more and more clear that Trump may actually be part of that global elite.
Expect him to lash out as the walls close in.
