Additional information about the tanker seizure. Apparently, the Skipper was spoofing their location data and not reporting it, possibly to avoid sanctions placed on exports of Venezuelan oil during Trump's first presidency.
I absolutely do not condone the US seizure of the Skipper but this BBC piece raises a lot of questions among which is who is the legal owner of the oil? The tanker spoofed its location and id on the regular and transferred oil to and from other vessels on the high seas. www.bbc.com/news/article...

If you get health care through your employer, your premiums are going up by an average of 26% no matter what.
Why? Because insurers had to set rates under the assumption Congress won't extend the ACA tax credits, destabilizing the whole market.
All thanks to Republican inaction.
