House Republican leaders ditch vote on ACA funding, all but ensuring premiums will rise
Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said Republicans worked on the issue throughout the weekend but could not come to an agreement with a group of members who want the funds extended.

Republicans own this. All of it. Never never let them blame anyone but themselves. They could have extended the enhanced subsidies but they didn't.

Yes.
Also, raise the FICA withholding limit to at least $500k and double it for income > $100M/yr.

Yes.

How about just putting the ACA subsidies back in place and raising the poverty level?
The top 15 billionaires got $1T richer in 2025.
Remember the all the handwringing that stimulus checks were too generous and ruined the economy?
If we’d sent that $1T to households instead, total stimulus would’ve exceeded all 3 pandemic check rounds combined.
How is this the responsible option?

This is a great editorial. It’s a little late. A lot late. But it spares no one — him and enablers alike.

“Tragically, America is still living in a political era that began on Jan. 6, 2021,” the editorial board writes. “Recognizing as much is necessary to bring this era to an end before it has many more anniversaries.”

Good. Then it won’t be a waste of taxpayer money to tear that damn thing down when he’s gone.
Trump posts that we’re “locked and loaded” to go into Iran, then goes marble shopping in Florida before golf.

Maybe the reason MAGA thinks everyone in the world is a predator and a pedophile is because they are surrounded by predators and pedophiles within their ranks.

Let’s have John Roberts “Mr Presidential Immunity” go FIRST. Holy shit what a dishonest pice of shit he is.
“Roberts’ history-heavy statement made no mention of President Donald Trump, nor the intense conflict that has cropped up between federal courts and the White House since his second inauguration nearly a year ago.”
And once again … John Roberts

We’ve long known the federalization of the Cal Guard is illegal.
This admission by Trump and his occult cabinet members means this illegal intimidation tactic will finally come to an end.
We look forward to the Ninth Circuit officially ruling — returning

I could not agree more. I do not understand why that decision is not discussed in every instance of his corruption and lies.
We are under assessing the importance of the SCOTUS immunity decision, and its radical departure from prior precedent. It is really crafted from medieval HRE law—the doctrine of arcana imperii—that has no basis in US or English legal precedent.
SCOTUS gave Trump and all future presidents a “get out of jail free” card by conferring near-total immunity from prosecution. So, looking at other democracies that hold leaders to account, it’s fair to ask: Which country looks like the banana republic now? www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Trump vetos a unanimous, bipartisan bill to provide clean water in rural Colorado which would create jobs. Is this retaliation that the governor refuses to pardon Tina Peters convicted of election tampering or bc it’s in Lauren Boebert’s district and she voted to release the Epstein files?
