Big Oil's climate lies are fueling the insurance affordability crisis — and the costs are falling on disaster survivors and residents.

A new bill from @scottwiener.bsky.social aims to make Big Oil pay. "We can’t allow Californians, our residents, our small businesses, to be left holding the bag."

So now if you can't afford your ACA plan, you can go to trumprx.gov, get a coupon and pay cash for your medications (if your pharmacy accepts the coupon). Check it out, nothing I take is available. Seems to be focused primarily on providing weight loss and fertility drugs.

Do the math. Which would provide the best ROI?

Reinstating ACA tax subsidies would cost $31 billion a year according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). ICE funding is $29 billion in 2026, a base budget of $10 billion plus $75 billion over four years. Now they want an additional $10 billion!

Buttigieg on Fox News: "When you see an American woman opening the door to her home and on her doorstep finds half a dozen federal agents in tactical gear that is more tricked out than what I would take outside the wire in Afghanistan -- I think most people get that that is wrong."

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

Reminder!!

Please don't be distracted by the recent plethora of horrible events - these extensions are crucial for so many families.

The Senate has until January 30, 2026, to vote on tax extensions for the Affordable Care Act (ACA) as part of the ongoing negotiations and funding agreements.

Maybe CDC ‘leadership’ hoped nobody would notice? 😳 In 2025, nearly half of CDC databases that were previously updated monthly stopped updating without explanation. Real-time tracking of vaccines & outbreaks vanished.
