The ACA isn't just "health care for people who don't have a conventional employer." It also disallows something that was incredibly common 20 years ago, which I fear is getting lost to generational memory: insurance companies could deny you health care for essentially any previous health problem.
I'm dubious about Amazon's commitment to keeping pre-existing conditions a thing of the past.

I’m just going to tell the story. Back in 2000 I was volunteering for the Gore campaign when he came along with Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Alfre Woodard and Dule Hill to a GOTV event here in MN. He ended up sitting down across from me stuffing his envelopes.

Old here who remembers: I had to get my newspaper-publisher boss to sign for my first credit card in 1975.
If you don't believe this can happen, women didn't have the legal right to have their own credit cards without needing a male co-signer until 1974, when the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) was passed, a landmark law that made it illegal to discriminate in lending based on sex or marital status.
The regime is attempting to make it legal for banks and credit card companies to discriminate against women and minorities, making credit access harder. There's just 1 day left to comment. Reject this premise based on the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution. Comment here: tr.ee/I9k7aFPzg3

This is fascinating: Trump is, of course, Commander-in-Chief of all the U.S. Armed Forces, and newscycles of past presidents likely would've drilled that home.
But Trump has also, of course, repeatedly and successfully distanced himself from scandals that would've tanked other presidencies.

A ridiculous coda to this story: A USTA source tells me that Trump wanted to hand out the trophy to the winner of the US Open men's final but the organizers said no and compromised by displaying the trophy on the balcony of the Rolex suite where he was sitting.
NEW — I wrote about attending the US Open with Trump in attendance, and what the tepid reaction to a fascist at a sporting event says about this country.

Staring straight across the court at a fascist is bad for the soul, but certainly instructive.

Especially for the racist trash talk, but I think even more generally people see Omar, and hear that Minneapolis has the country's biggest Somali community, and assume that must be a substantial chunk of her voters. The numerical reality is nowhere close to that, there just aren't that many of them.
