I was trying to get a bit more history on Niagara's Millennium Trail, and believe it or not, the local municipality produced a YouTube video to break it down.

The Supreme Court interfered with Obama’s signature policy, the one that opponents literally dubbed “Obamacare”
Bessent on tariffs: "This is one of President Trump's signature policies, and traditionally the Supreme Court does not interfere with a president's signature policy."

The idea that individuals are going to be able to "negotiate" better rates with health insurers than the US government can is pants-on-head level absurd on its face
Cassidy: "The president is proposing that we take the $26b that would be going to insurance companies if we just do an extension and give it directly to the American people in which 100% of the money is used for them to purchase healthcare on their own terms. That makes them an informed consumer."

You don’t need to watch Seth Meyers to see the danger here. Presidents in democracies don’t demand that critics be fired, and federal regulators don’t amplify those demands. It undermines editorial independence and chills dissent.

Some abled parents of disabled people are the most violent ableists. They use their children as tools to demonstrate their heroism in shouldering the burden of taking care of a disabled person, think they’re incapable of ableism, and say the experience of a caretaker is the same as being disabled.
