Q: At the end of this year, those extended Obamacare subsidies expire. What's your message to those 24m Americans who will see their premiums go up?

this fact is the definitive judgment on kirk's life
ultimately, no one even grieved Charlie Kirk. he was just another thing for the worst people on earth to get outraged over. and when the outrage of real events wasn't enough, they invented new ones.
not even his wife saw his death as anything other than an opportunity.

Fundraising emails like this one from Mark Finchem are like the chicken and the egg, but for idiocy.
Is Mark Finchem so impossibly stupid that he doesn't understand Democrats don't control the federal government? Or does he think his constituents are that impossibly stupid?
Probably both, tbh.

Even voters who aren't economically savvy will realize that "Things cost way more now than a year ago because the economy is growing" doesn't make a lick of damn sense
Trump: "We have to get a mindset that when the country is doing well, you don't want to kill the growth. They kill the growth because they're so afraid of inflation. But you can have tremendous growth without inflation. Everything goes up with the growth. But that's not inflation."
