This is not the first time Trump has revealed complete ignorance about how insurance works and why it is necessary. It's astounding how many low-information voters believe he must know something since he's rich.

@seidler.bsky.social Here's an interesting dilemma: Yesavage or McLean? I'm trying to decide which to protect in an offseaon scoresheet draft. I will almost certainly lose the one I don't protect.

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 asserting themselves: Liberalism isn't dead, Rs are likely to lose in 2026, and Trump is really unpopular, not a magical exception.

I’ve seen just one counter-protester at No Kings San Diego. He’s got a Trump 2024 flag and this guy has been following him around for probably an hour playing Benny Hill and circus music.
