The US is down at least $30 billion in tourism for 2025. International boycotts and a loss in appeal to visit due to Donald Trump has resulted in millions of trips canceled.

Crapo plan offers me annual assistance of $1500. ACA was giving me annual assistance of over TWENTY-ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS.
The Senate Republican health care plan ends the enhanced ACA funds and instead gives eligible Americans $1,000 per year (<50 years) or $1,500 per year (50+) for an HSA. It also expands availability of bronze and catastrophic plans. Here’s what that would mean —> www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...
Senate Republicans plan vote on a health care alternative as ACA funds look likely to expire
The Senate will vote this week on a GOP bill to put money in health savings accounts, as well as a Democratic bill to extend the expiring ACA subsidies. Both are expected to fail.

POTUS posted the names of nine senators who "need encouragement to make the right decision" as they have not yet declared their position on the new map. They have since been swatted.

At least 11 Indiana Republicans were targeted with threats or swatting attacks amid redistricting pressure from Trump
The threats came after Trump publicly called on state lawmakers to pass new congressional maps that would benefit Republicans.

We’ve faced bullies before. He’s not new. He’s not special. He’s not complicated. He’s the same sad, dangerous pattern in a sloppier suit. And I know bullies. Believe me. I know how they operate. I know how they implode. I know how they fall.

Trump says Lisa Cook is unfit to be a Fed governor because she claimed two different properties as her primary residence on her mortgage applications. (Cook denies this.)

Trump did the exact same thing on mortgage applications submitted a mere 7 weeks apart.

If the Sep. 2 boat really had "narco-terrorists" on board, questioning the survivors would have been a way to learn about how the organization worked, where more drugs were stashed, etc. But this isn't a counter-terrorism campaign. It's a shooting gallery with helpless targets.

I've been saying this for decades--in my trademarked philippic against Running the Government Like a Business.
I'll say again: we are oddly selective about the government services about which we will say, they operate at a loss.

We say Amtrak and the post office "lose money" but we never say highways, the court system, the Pentagon, etc lose money
The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

The Trump regime's assault on immigrants does not really target "the worst of the worst." Its aim: to make America whiter.
The crackdown on colleges does not really target antisemitism. Its aim: to crush dissent.
The murders of boat crews is not really about drugs. Its aim: to grab Venezuela's oil.
